The Overture to Ruy Blas, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy's last overture, was not composed as an autonomously conceived score, but as the opening piece of a stage work. Nevertheless, its immediate success at the Leipzig first performance in 1839, as well as the fact that no further contributions to Victor Hugo's drama followed from Mendelssohn's pen soon made it well known in the concert hall. The work's special history, including several arrangements occasioned by various performances, led to the fact that the overture had its largest circulation in the version of the posthumous first edition on which this edition is also based.

First printing posthumously 1851 (Rietz).

The cantata Mein liebster Jesus ist verloren BWV 154 was first performed on 9 January 1724, the 1st Sunday after Epiphany. The structure and extent of the work are unusual: it comprises eight, instead of the usual six movements. With a duration of around 15 minutes, it is a concise work. As well as this, at the beginning of the cantata there is an aria instead of the usual opening chorus. A chorale features at the end and in the third movement. Its brevity and straightforward arias make this cantata suitable for inclusion in any church service, and is easy for amateur ensembles to master.

Cé sar Franck, composer, pianist, organist and music teacher, completed Cupid and Psyché, his sixth and last symphonic poem in 1887. It was first performed in Paris in 1888 and was a complete success, but the piece later fell completely into oblivion, and it was only thanks to some meticulous research that it has returned to concert halls. The intricate love affair between Psyche and Cupid is an original story of the Metamorphoseswritten in the 2nd century AD by Apuleius. The tale is about overcoming obstacles in love and their final union. The symphonic poem is divided into three parts and calls for a choir. The movement that is the subject of this arrangement, Psyché et Érosis positioned at the end of the second part. Franco Cesarini's version for wind orchestra carefully illustrates the nuances of the instrumental colours, and represents a real test aimed at demonstrating the musicality and interpretative skills of orchestras and their conductors.

The Heaven Tree is based on the fi rst book in an intensely imagined trilogy by author Edith Pargeter. Set during the golden age of cathedral building, this adventure novel explores the splendour and cruelty of the Middle Ages. Thierry Deleruyelle’s work is an ideal accompaniment to the novel. With an obvious sense of suspense, his music helps us get in touch with a distant reality that brings the past to life.

Für The Heaven Tree nahm sich der Komponist den ersten Band einer fantasievollen Romantrilogie von Edith Pargeter als Vorlage. Dieser spielt im goldenen Zeitalter des Kathedralenbaus und spiegelt die ganze Pracht und die Grausamkeit des Mittelalters wider. Thierry Deleruyelles Werk ist das perfekte Äquivalent des Romans. Mit einem guten Gespür für Spannung gelingt es dem Komponisten, mit seiner Musik längst vergangene Zeiten begreifbar zu machen und zu neuem Leben zu erwecken.

Premier volume d’une trilogie historique qu’Edith Pargeter (alias Ellis Peters ; 1913-1995) considérait comme son meilleur travail, The Heaven Tree (La pierre de vie) séduit par sa fluidité. Roman d’aventures au temps des b tisseurs de cathédrales, The Heaven Tree laisse apparaître le Moyen ge dans sa splendeur et sa cruauté. Thierry Deleruyelle nous offre le pendant musical idéal du roman. Avec un sens évident du suspense, son oeuvre nous fait toucher du doigt une réalité, aussi lointaine soit-elle.

From the best-selling cantata, A Time for Alleluia!, comes this setting of an ancient sacred text. The poignant choral begins on the morning of Christ's crucifixion comparing the Savior's beaten and bruised face with that of the swan and its darkened eyes. This dramatic text holds us in its grip as it portrays the suffering of Jesus and his crucifixion. The music and text evolve with great emotional sweeps of sound before fading away into a dirge-like epilogue. In these final measures we hear the last heartbeats of Christ fade away into the shadows. Orchestration includes parts for: piano, flute 1 & 2, oboe, clarinet 1 & 2, bassoon,horn 1 & 2, trumpet 1, trumpet 2 & 3, trombone 1 & 2, bass trombone/tuba, timpani, percussion 1 & 2, harp, violin 1, violin 2,ivola, cello, double bass. Available separately: SATB, iPrint Orch CD-ROM, StudioTrax CD. Duration: ca. 2:43.

Variation s Paris, 1846 was composed specifically for the 25th anniversary of ‘Brass-Aux-Saxesâ⠂¬â„¢ in 2014, coincidentally the 150th anniversary of Adolphe Sax, the inventor of the saxophone. As a result, Philip Sparke created this work to pay homage to Adolphe Sax. The work is a series of variations based on one original theme and gives the ‘fanfare orchestra’ a unique and rare setting you would usually only find in Belgium, the Netherlands and parts of Japan. Consequently, this shows all of the different aspects of the band through both colour and technique.

Vari ations Paris, 1846 werd geschreven voor het 25-jarig bestaan van Fanfareorkest Brass-aux-Saxes uit het Belgische Westerlo in 2014, dat toevallig samenviel met het tweehonderdste geboortejaar van Adolphe Sax, de uitvinder van de saxofoon. Componist Philip Sparke schreef dit werk als hommage aan Sax. Het werk bestaat uit een reeks variaties op een originele koraalmelodie. Het is geschreven voor fanfare een ensemble dat in België en Nederland veel voorkomt, en hier en daar ook in Japan en laat alle verschillende aspecten van het orkest horen, zowel in klankkleur als techniek.

Variations Paris, 1846 wurde anlässlich des 25-jährigen Jubiläums von Brass-Aux-Saxes im Jahr 2014 komponiert, in dem sich zufälligerweise auch der 200. Geburtstag von Adolphe Sax, dem Erfinder des Saxophons, jährte. Daher schrieb Philip Sparke eine Hommage an Adolphe Sax. Das Werk besteht aus einer Reihe von Variationen über ein Originalthema und bietet der Fanfare einer einzigartigen Besetzung, die man nur in Belgien, den Niederlanden und manchmal in Japan findet die Möglichkeit, die verschiedenen Facetten des Orchesters hinsichtlich seiner Klangfarben und technischen Möglichkeiten darzubieten.

Va riations Paris, 1846 fut composé en 2014 l’occasion du 25e anniversaire de Brass-Aux-Saxes, qui co ncidait aussi avec le bicentenaire de la naissance du grand inventeur belge Adolphe Sax. Philip Sparke rend donc hommage Adolphe Sax avec cette œuvre basée sur une série de variations sur un thème original. Elle permet l’orchestre de fanfare (un regroupement rare que l’on ne retrouve qu’en Belgique, aux Pays-Bas et quelquefois au Japon) de mettre en valeur les différents aspects de la formation, tels que des couleurs variées et leur technique.
