Par JOHNSON TIMOTHY. Based on the African-American spiritual “Ev’ry Time I Feel the Spirit”, Feel the Spirit captures the essence of the traditional spiritual. These songs were created by African-Americans oppressed by slavery. A deeply religious people, the slaves would use singing as an expression of both their enthusiastic joy and profound sadness. Feel the Spirit enables you to play a great gospel song with your band / Niveau : 2 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Arr. Philip Sparke. Par HENRY VIII. The English king, Henry VIII (1491-1547), is mainly remembered for disposing of his wives on a regular basis and breaking with the Catholic Church when the Pope Clement VII refused to grant him a divorce so he could marry Anne Boleyn. He was, however, a gifted athlete, dancer and composer, writing many songs, poems and consort pieces (though not Greensleeves, as is often believed). Pastime with Good Company is undoubtedly the best-known of these, written in the first years of the 16th century while he was still a handsome prince, newly married to Catherine of Aragon and the envy of Europe. The lyrics tell of the joys of hunting, dancing and singing and would have been sungas part of the court entertainment. / Niveau : 3 / Répertoire / Brass Band

Trois poèmes d'Henri Michaux was written for the Zagreb Biennale and first performed there by the orchestra and choir of Radio Zagreb, conducted by the composer and Slavko Zlatic on 9 May 1963. It is composed for 20-part choir and an orchestra similar to that of the Symphony of Psalms, though without the lower strings of the latter.Lutoslaswski has said that the general outline of the work came to him first, and only then did he choose the three poems. These reflect his Francophile taste: Henri Michaux was born in Belgium in 1899 and later became a painter: the trenchant Le Grand Combat, with its onomatopoeic invented words, dates form the 1920s- the other two texts, which are more philosophic than pictorial, form the 1930s. Choir and orchestra need separate conductors even though throughout they alternate more often than they combine.A description of the course of the music itself will be more useful than any discussion of its technical processes or of its notation. A quiet section of orchestral polyphony, which brass sforzandi punctuate with increasing frequency, frames the beginning and end of Pensées. After the choir's first unaccompanied passage, the woodwind have a staccato section over which the female voices, singing downward glissandi, are superimposed ('Ombre de mondes infimes?'). Then the woodwind and both pianos join in a lapping ostinato which illustrates the text of the next forte choir entry 'Pensées à la nage merveilleuse?' The climax of the movement comes as these characteristic woodwind figures alternate with the tintinnabulation of a gamelan-like ensemble of vibraphone, céleste, harp and pianos. / Orchestre

Get ready to stamp your feet for fearless fun in this great piece for younger players. Everyone gets the line and each section can play fearlessly and with a sense of fun. Towards the end, don't be surprised if there is a quote from Tchaikovsky and a whiff of Brandenburg---it's all in the spirit of a good time! 'The Sailor's Hornpipe,' arranged by Sandra Dackow, is familiar to many listeners through its opening words, 'With a yo heave ho---and a slap upon the knee,' and it is easy to imagine foot stomps and slaps upon the knees of sailors accompanying their singing. This classic hornpipe will help your students with dexterity, playing in the lower half of the bow, and bow lifts! (2:25) / Orchestre A Cordes

En effet, le texte original, déjà riche, est complété : - par Gilbert Amy, d'un chapitre nous offrant son regard sur l'orchestre en musique contemporaine aujourd'hui, - par Bruno Gillet, de trois chapitres concernant la voix humaine, - de 60 pages de commentaires et annotations, à vocation pédagogique, du traducteur de l'ouvrage Philippe Vernier - enfin, d'un index complet et performant (accru de 150%) sans lequel une telle ampleur de contenu se révélerait assez rapidement vaine. Samuel Adler Compositeur et chef d'orchestre américain d'origine allemande parti très jeune aux états-unis, Samuel Adler a composé plus de quatre cents oeuvres publiées, dont cinq opéras, six symphonies, douze concerti, huit quatuors à cordes, quatre oratorios et bien d'autres pièces orchestrales, chorales, vocales ou pour band.

Au C.N.S.M. de Paris, il a inauguré la classe d'analyse et culture musicale spécialement destinée aux chanteurs, et assuré au C.N.A.D. la formation musicale des acteurs. Philippe Vernier Philippe Vernier se passionne très tôt pour les musiques orales dont il approfondit la connaissance d'abord en autodidacte (chanson, folk music...) puis sous l'impulsion du guitariste Alain Berkès (manouche, blues, jazz...). Après une expérience pop-rock, il étudie la théorie classique, suit l'enseignement des compositeurs Alain Roizenblat, Michel Decoust et Philippe Leroux - il reçoit alors plusieurs Premiers Prix (Orchestration, Composition...) et un D.E.M. en électro-acoustique. Compositeur de pièces pour bande , ensemble, chansons, musiques de film ou de scène, il a remporté le Prix de la Création Musicale au festival Paris-Tout-Court (2002).

This upbeat party-time piece could open or close a concert perfectly. Every section gets a soli and there is an optional section for improvisation. Everyone will be singing the melody on the road trip home from the concert. (4:00) / Orchestre A Cordes
