No Place Like Home, The Flight of the Bumblebee and The Arkansas Traveler (the “bumblebee song”) combine to make this trombone feature unlike any you've tried before. It's a good idea to occasionally give the trombone section a little time in the limelight, and it's also a good idea for your band to have some fun. This one works on both levels.

Just about everyone has heard the melody to Joshua Fought the Battle of Jericho, right? Arranger Mike Lewis took this traditional melody and scored it for the young band. With a rubato sax and piano intro, Mike moves his chart right into an easy swing feel. There are no individual improvised solos, just ensemble with some section work, with some nice parts for the trombones. Optional parts are included but this chart will sound full with reduced instrumentation. Easy ranges, accessible rhythms and the rubato ending can be as dramatic as you like. A very nice chart.

Guitar solo - Advanced

Composed by Giorgio Mirto. Score. Les Productions d'OZ #DZ 4308. Published by Les Productions d'OZ (DZ.DZ-4308).

ISBN 9782898522253.

Foll owing a recent experience on the jury of a guitar competition, I noted with great pleasure that Giorgio Mirto, with whom I had shared the role of juror, wanted to celebrate the experience of the competition - during from which we discovered that we had had a great affinity of thought - with something which could endure over time and not evaporate as often happens in short and occasional meetings between musicians. He did it as a true composer, which he is, and dedicated to me a very beautifully crafted Suite to which I allowed myself to collaborate at least formally, by suggesting titles for the four movements. This is how Suite n.1 was born, a piece that does not strictly respect the formal rules of the Baroque era, but reinterprets and reuses them in a new key. The work's obvious late Baroque inspiration led me to find titles that invited the performer to delve deeper into the work's aesthetic inspiration. So I suggested to Giorgio that he title the four movements with something that linked their content to four greats of the 18th century. German masters. The prelude has thus become from Eisenach because of its sometimes improvised Bach-like atmosphere, the second movement, vaguely toccata, speaks an organ language in the manner of Buxtehude (who lived in Lübeck), the slow movement has a Handelian quality - and Handel was born in Halle - and the last movement, far from being a true Chaconne, undoubtedly has the latter's taste for variation and ostinato, typical traits of Telemann who lived in Magdeburg. The cities that appear in the titles are therefore indelible to the authors cited. Furthermore, one should not think that the style of the work is in any way German, given that Giorgio Mirto expresses himself in a very joyful language that synthesizes modality with minimalism, all seasoned with a a nod to Pink's progressive rock Floyd. or a Mike Oldfield... The result of this mixture of ideas, inspirations and styles is a work that personally I never tire of reading and rereading, for the freshness that emanates from it and for the climate expressive which rises, nourishing itself with full efficiency. We ultimately cannot ignore that the note B, the one which marks in a minor way some of the most expressive works of the guitar repertoire, from the study of Sor which made generations of students fall in love with the guitar, until to that of Frank Martin's Four Pieces via La Catedral di Barrios, is the modal fulcrum of the entire Suite: it is true that the Prelude begins with a clear chord in E minor and lingers on an open ending in A minor , but it almost seems that the initial E serves as a launching pad for a continuation of the work in which the dominant, that is to say the B, is the true musical North, the pole star which guides us in the other three movements until the end of the Chaconne de Magdebourg. I wish Giorgio and our Suite great longevity and a favorable destiny in the complex and complex world of contemporary guitar composition. And I thank him again, flattered by his very kind dedication.

FRANCE SCO BIRAGHI

Au lendemain d'une récente expérience au sein du jury d'un concours de guitare, j'ai constaté avec grand plaisir que Giorgio Mirto, avec qui j'avais partagé le rôle de juré, souhaitait célébrer l'expérience du concours - au cours de laquelle nous avons découvert que nous avions eu un grand affinité de pensée - avec quelque chose qui pourrait perdurer dans le temps et ne pas s'évaporer comme cela arrive souvent lors de rencontres courtes et occasionnelles entre musiciens. Il l'a fait en véritable compositeur, ce qu'il est, et m'a dédié une Suite d'une très belle facture à laquelle je me suis permis de collaborer au moins formellement, en suggérant des titres pour les quatre mouvements. C'est ainsi qu'est née la Suite n.1, une pièce qui ne respecte pas strictement les règles formelles de l'époque baroque, mais les réinterprèt e et les réutilise dans une nouvelle tonalité. L'inspiration évidente du baroque tardif de l'œuvre m'a amené à trouver des titres qui invitaient l'interprète à approfondir l'inspiration esthétique de l'œuvre. J'ai donc suggéré à Giorgio de titrer les quatre mouvements avec quelque chose qui reliait leur contenu à quatre grands du XVIIIe siècle. Maîtres allemands. Le prélude est ainsi devenu d'Eisenach en raison de son atmosphère parfois improvisée à la Bach, le deuxième mouvement, vaguement toccata, parle un langage d'orgue à la manière de Buxtehude (qui vivait à Lübeck), le mouvement lent a un Qualité haendélienne - et Haendel est né à Halle - et le dernier mouvement, loin d'être une véritable Chaconne, a sans doute le goût de cette dernière pour la variation et l'ostinato, traits typiques de Telemann qui vivait à Magdebourg. Les villes qui apparaissent dans les titres sont donc indélébiles aux auteurs cités. De plus, il ne faut pas penser que le style de l'œuvre soit en aucune façon allemand, étant donné que Giorgio Mirto s'exprime dans un langage très joyeux qui synthétise la modalité avec le minimalisme, le tout assaisonné d'un clin d'œil au rock progressif Floyd de Pink. ou un Mike Oldfield... Le résultat de ce mélange d'idées, d'inspirations et de styles est un ouvrage que personnellement je ne me lasse pas de lire et de relire, pour la fraîcheur qui s'en dégage et pour le climat expressif qui monte, se nourrissant de plein efficacité. On ne peut finalement pas ignorer que la note B, celle qui marque de manière mineure certaines des œuvres les plus expressives du répertoire de guitare, depuis l'étude de Sor qui a fait tomber amoureux de la guitare des générations d'étudiants, jusqu'à celle de Frank Martin Quatre Pièces via La Catedral di Barrios, est le point d'appui modal de toute la Suite : il est vrai que le Prélude commence par un accord clair en mi mineur et s'attarde sur une fin ouverte en la mineur, mais il semble presque que le mi initial sert de une rampe de lancement pour une suite de l'œuvre dans laquelle la dominante, c'est-à-dire le B, est le véritable Nord musical, l'étoile polaire qui nous guide dans les trois autres mouvements jusqu'à la fin de la Chaconne de Magdebourg. Je souhaite à Giorgio et à « notre » Suite une grande longévité et un destin favorable dans le monde complexe et complexe de la composition contemporaine pour guitare. Et je le remercie encore, flatté de son très aimable dévouement.

Feelings is a well-known easy listening hit that was written halfway through the 1970s, by the Brazilian singer-songwriter Morris Albert. However, the melody is derived from a French song (Pour toi) from 1957, written by Louis Gaste, who made this claim successfully. Over the years, Feelings has been performed by famous artists like Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley. Numerous arrangements have been made for various instrumentations. This arrangement by Roland Kernen does justice to the original.

Feeli ngs is een bekende easy-listeninghit van halverwege de jaren zeventig. Het nummer werd geschreven door de Braziliaanse singer-songwriter Morris Albert. De oorspronkelijke melodie is echter afkomstig van een Frans lied(Pour toi) uit 1957, van de hand van Louis Gaste, die dit met succes claimde. In de loop der jaren is Feelings uitgevoerd door beroemde artiesten als Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra en Elvis Presley. Ook zijn er talrijkearrangementen gemaakt voor diverse bezettingen. Dit arrangement van Roland Kernen doet recht aan het origineel.

Der gefühlvolle Song Feelings machte Morris Albert, einen gebürtigen Brasilianer, im Jahre 1975 über Nacht zum Weltstar. In den folgenden Jahren sangen sich auch berühmte Künstler, wie Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, Sarah Vaughan und Johnny Mathis mit dem romantischen Liebeslied in die Hitparaden. Mit der stimmungsvollen Fanfareorchesterbearbeitu ng von Roland Kernen bringen Sie jedes Publikum zum Schmelzen!

Auteur et chanteur de variété brésilien, Morris Albert (*1951) est surtout connu pour son succès international Feelings, sorti au milieu des années 1970. Reprise par les plus grands comme Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra et Elvis Presley, cette superbe chanson est en fait le plagiat de la chanson française Pour toi que Louis (dit Loulou) Gasté avait initialement composée en 1956 pour Dario Moreno, et que Line Renaud avait enregistrée un peu plus tard. Après huit ans de bataille juridique menée aux États-Unis (1981-1987), Loulou Gasté obtient réparation en 1988 et une reconnaissance définitive de la paternité de sa chanson. En 1975, cette chanson a été réenregistréepar Mike Brant qui la réintroduit en France sous le titre Dis-lui. Il s’agit d’une des dernières chansons enregistrée par l'artiste avant sa mort. Feelings a fait l’objet de nombreux arrangements divers et variés. Cet arrangement de Roland Kernen reste fidèle la version originale.
