Par VAN DER ROOST JAN. Singapura Suite was commissioned by Singapore's Ministry of Education Extracurricular Activities Branch to serve as a compulsory piece for the 1999 Singapore Youth Festival. 'Singapura' is the original name of Singapore in Malay, the native language there. Because Singapore is one of the most important harbors in the world, this two-piece work opens with a seaman's dance. An authentic melody, Chan Mali Chan, is woven into the middle of this first part, whose ABA form becomes clear through the recapitulation of the seaman's dance in a somewhat altered form. Singapore is also a dynamic city-state alive with excitement, thus the second part begins with a fitting dance, a fastbourrée. As contrast there is a second authentic melody, Dayung Sampan, a more easygoing sailing song. This short but curious suite ends in high spirits with a recapitulation of the beginning. / Niveau : 2.5 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Fanfare

Arr. John Blanken. Par JOHANSSON JAN. The popular Swedish children's series Pippi Långstrump (Pippi Longstocking) is about an exceedingly strong and strong-willed little girl with red braids - who is the brainchild of Astrid Lindgren. This series has been broadcasted in many countries. I arranged its cheerful theme tune in samba style. Even with the new rhythm, the original song is still very recognizable. In the exuberant samba style, the percussion plays an important role. Within the Långstrump Samba, this is especially clear in the ad libitum percussion solo halfway through the arrangement. The solo can go on as long as desired, and offers plenty of freedom because of the free choice of the instruments used. / Niveau : 3 / Musique légère originale / Répertoire / Fanfare

Par SCHWARZ OTTO M.. Deux jeunes gens de Felanitx sur l?île de Majorque : Pere Obrador et Miquel Angel Cerda. Après leur scolarité, l?un resta sur l?île pendant que l?autre alla à Madrid pour étudier. Après quelques années, Miquel décida de rentrer à cause du mal du pays et car la mer lui manquait. L?année 1994 a été marqué par un grand événement dans la vie des deux 'frères'. Ils ont concrétisé leur rêve : produire ensemble leur premier vin. Leur vision : produire un authentique vin des Baléares à partir de cépages locaux comme le callet, le mantonegro et le fogoneu. Anima Negra : l?évocation dans un verre de vin de Majorque. Reflet du soleil, de la salinité du terroir et l?énergie de l?île, le vin a ainsi conquis le monde entier. / Date parution : 2022-04-05/ Répertoire / Fanfare

for Band. Par MAIRS DAVID. This march was written for the Durham MS Band in Lewisville, TX, an enthusiastic group of young musicians, growing in their technique and musicality and eager to sound like the big kids. Pride of the Maroon Dragons features a variety of articulations for the trumpets and upper woodwinds in the first strain, and a bold melody for the low brass and low woodwinds in the second. The trio features a smooth, legato melody in the clarinets and horns, followed by a melodic refrain in which every section has something important to say. Throughout the march, the percussionists have plenty to do on many different instruments, while the horns will be smiling quietly because they don't have to play any after-beats! / Date parution : 2022-10-12/ Répertoire / Marching Band
