In the Mississippi River valley, portions of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illinois lie in a “driftless” region bypassed by ancient glaciers. The resulting scenic beauty is characterized by magnificent rocky bluffs, steep ravines, and forested hills. Secret Valley is a musical journey exploring a winding road through the misty bluffs, or an unexpected forested valley, a grand view of the mighty river, or a surprising burst of foliage on a crisp Autumn day. The piece uses imaginative textures and striking effects to help your imagination run wild. Dur: ca. 5:15.

Concert Band/Harmonie - Grade 5

SKU: BT.DHP-0960790-010

Composed by Jacob De Haan. Concert and Contest Collection CBHA. Concert Piece. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 1996. De Haske Publications #DHP 0960790-010. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-0960790-010).

This composition is based on a passacaglia theme, in which artistic perfection, symphonic drama and oriental melody lines play a role. The passacaglia is originally a dance made up of a series of variations above a bass line constantly present as an ostinato. It is not in this sense that the Symphonic Variations are in the passacaglia form but in the sense of the open form of the variations. Jacob de Haan, himself originally an organist, took his inspiration for this piece from the famous passacaglia for organ in C-minor by J.S. Bach. Following the introduction of the passacaglia theme (in the bass) the entry by the trumpets and trombones forms the majestic start to amusical adventure, in which this theme (often fragmentary) returns in variations. Then there follow two faster movements with dramatic contrasts and virtuose passages. Particularly striking here is the use of two characteristic intervals from the beginning of the theme namely the minor second and the augmented fourth. An apause in the composition comes in the slow bridge where a syncopated bourdon (perfect fifth) is constantly repeated. The tension grows in dynamics and harmony, and the oriental-flavour becomes obvious in the melody. We arrive at a faster movement via an accelerando, in which a perpetuum mobile based on the passacaglia theme is central. Finally the whole flows into a martial theme, in which the ostinato accompaniment n the descant derives from the passacaglia theme.

An ancient world calls… Spirit of the Warrior explores both the beauty and the power of a forgotten civilization; man’s mighty force amidst nature’s gentle majesty. It is dedicated to all soldiers and warriors, past and present, who give their all to protect home and nation. The warrior shows courage in the face of danger, and loyalty to a cause beyond self-interest. The warrior sees life’s fragile beauty with eyes few others can understand. Long after warriors fall in battle, their spirit lives on in the people and lands they have protected.  Using only the first six notes of the concert Bb scale, Spirit of the Warrior begins boldly. Separated notes in the low brass and winds represent the warrior’s power. Nature’s inspiring beauty is represented by the high woodwinds and bells, which play in counterpoint to the lower instruments.  Fully separate the staccatos, and shape the accents throughout to help the music feel powerful without being overly heavy or loud. At m. 29, be sure that the countermelody played by the clarinets and alto saxophone can be clearly heard.If you have additional percussionists, consider doubling the snare drum part on a low tom-tom. Experiment with the gong to find the sound you prefer: strike closer to the edge for a brash “crash” sound, or closer to the center for a more mysterious tone. The piece ends with the sound of the sustaining gong . Enjoy the drama and let the sound fade without (much) dampening.  .

In Celtic folklore a “selkie” is a mythical creature appearing as a seal in water, but taking human form on land. In this striking setting for second year players the first movement, in a lyric and melancholy style, portrays the selkie as a baby seal. The second movement depicts a young boy on land, and employs a number of characteristics of traditional Scottish folk tunes. This marvelous work provides opportunities for musical and cross-curricular exploration. Duration: 3:50.

With this work, commissioned by a prestigious girls? school with morethan a hundred years of tradition and history, the composer aimed towrite a universal work with love as its theme. He succeeded in doingthis with Sinfonia - a delightfully charming interlude with a transparentsound and a striking melody.

In 2005 maakte de Japanse Hamamatsu Municipal Senior High School een nieuwe start als middelbare school voor zowel meisjes als jongens. Voor die gelegenheid schreef Satoshi Yagisawa op verzoek een nieuw schoollied. In januari 2006componeerde hij Sinfonia voor het schoolharmonieorkest, geleid door Atsuo Yamagata. Het werd een universeel werk met liefde als thema, een soort interludium met een transparante klank en een treffende melodie.

Mit diesem Werk, das er zur Umwandlung einer traditionsreichen Madchenschule zu einer gemischten Schule schrieb, wollte der japanische Komponist ein universelles Werk uber das Miteinander und die Liebe schaffen. Dies gelang ihm mit Sinfonia, einem interessanten Zwischenspiel von transparentem Klang mit einer eindruckvollen Melodie.

Le Lycee Municipal d'Hamamatsu au Japon fut un prestigieux lycee de filles s'appuyant sur plus de cent ans d'histoire et de traditions. En 2005, l'etablissement prit un nouvel envol en devenant un lycee mixte. Pour celebrer cet evenement, Satoshi Yagisawa fut charge de composer un nouveau chant emblematique de l'ecole.En janvier 2006, il compose Sinfonia, une œuvre de commande pour l'Orchestre d'Harmonie du Lycee (Atsuo Yamagata, dir.). L'œuvre se veut universelle developpant le theme eternel de l'amour : une sorte d'interlude sur une trame sonore cristalline et une ligne melodique enivrante.

A rip roaring grandioso concert march, full of wonderful melodic lines and striking rhythmic features. An extremely appealing composition for both performers and listeners alike.

In Decorum volgt na een verrassende, virtuoze inleiding een speels leggiero thema. Hier wordt in een dynamische contrastwerking de houtgroep afgewisseld door tutti-spel. Aansluitend komt een melodische lijn aan bod met triolenen gepunteerde figuren als opvallendste ritmische kenmerken. Het triodeel etaleert een nieuw thema waarin het zestiendenotenbeeld de overhand krijgt. Met een markante grandioso slotreprise wordt deze concertmars afgesloten. Decorumis een bijzonder aanstekelijke compositie voor zowel muzikanten als publiek.

In Decorum folgt auf eine überraschende, virtuose Einleitung ein verspieltes, leichtes Thema. Hier wechseln sich die Holzbläser mit Tutti-Passagen ab, wodurch ein dynamisch kontrastiver Effekt entsteht. Danach tritt eine Melodielinie, mit Triolen und punktierten Motiven als auffälligste rhythmische Merkmale, in den Vordergrund. Das Trio präsentiert ein neues Thema, in dem die Sechzehntelnoten die Oberhand haben. Eine ausgesprochen erhabene Reprise beendet diesen Konzertmarsch. Decorum ist eine äußerst attraktive Komposition für Musiker und Zuhörer.

Apr� �s une introduction ornementée, suit un thème enjoué et léger. Les bois alternent avec des passages en tutti dans un effet de nuances contrastées. Une ligne mélodique dont les triolets et des motifs marqués constituent l’aspect rythmique le plus surprenant est ensuite mise en relief. Le trio développe un nouveau thème et mène vers un finale grandiose. Decorum est une oeuvre très attrayante tant pour les musiciens que pour l’auditoire.

Dopo un’introduzione di abbellimento, segue un tema giocoso e leggero. I legni alternano con passaggi in tutti in un effetto di sfumature contrastate. In seguito viene evidenziata una linea melodica nella quale le terzine e motivi incisivi costituiscono l’aspetto ritmico più sorprendente. Il trio sviluppa un nuovo tema e accompagna verso il grandioso finale. Decorum è un brano che esecutori e pubblico troveranno molto accattivante.
