For Flute, Clarinet In Bb, and Piano. Par JALBERT PIERRE. Triple Set was commissioned by the Flute/Clarinet Duos Consortium, an organization of 17 groups which will give the premiere performances of the work. I’ve always been fascinated by the flute and clarinet, and when I was approached by my colleagues at Rice (Leone Buyse and Michael Webster) to write a piece for flute, clarinet and piano (I’m a pianist myself), for the Flute/Clarinet Duos Consortium, I was happy to oblige. Both of my sons also play the clarinet, so many of these sounds are around me all the time. The piece is in three contrasting movements. The first movement, Driving, marked “With great energy”, is rhythmically propelled forward by the piano’s muted strings and the flute and clarinet playing at first in rhythmic unison, then each taking a turn at solos while the other participates in the accompanimental syncopations. The second movement, Still, is marked “Timeless” and slowly unfolds its melodic and harmonic ideas. The third movement, Relentless, is a kind of 6/8 scherzo, which vigorously and relentlessly propels itself forward to the end, with just two minor interruptions of quasi-cadenza like passages for flute and clarinet duo. - Pierre Jalbert/ Répertoire / Flûte Traversière, Clarinette et Piano

Par BROSSE DIRK. En 2007, Dirk Brossé compose Il Signor Brossini (Monsieur Brossini) à l’occasion du 70e anniversaire de son père. Il fait de la mélodie du célébrissime Happy Birthday (Joyeux anniversaire) le fil conducteur de son oeuvre. Divers petits fragments successifs brossent le caractère de “Monsieur Brossini” : tantôt héroïque, tantôt impressionniste et romantique, parfois passionné et fougueux, mais aussi fragile et émouvant, et toujours avec humour. La mélodie de la chanson Happy Birthday a été composée par deux soeurs américaines, Patty et Mildred J. Hill, en 1893, lorsqu’elles enseignaient à Louisville dans le Kentucky. En 1990, cette mélodie fut vendueaux éditions Warner Chappell pour la coquette somme de quinze millions de dollars. D’après le Livre Guinness des Records, Happy Birthday est l’air le plus chanté de tous les temps. Les orchestrations sont multiples et couvrent une pléiade de combinaisons instrumentales. Quant au texte, il a été traduit dans presque toutes les langues. Si le titre Il Signor Brossini fait référence au brillant compositeur italien Gioacchino Rossini, il rappelle également les origines italiennes de la famille Brossé. / Niveau : 5 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Par TOMS GRAYDON A.. This lighthearted piece is ideal for the Grade 1 band. Repeated notes in a sequential melody, simple counterpoint between the Woodwinds and Trumpets, interesting use of common Auxiliary Percussion instruments, a limited palette of rhythms and easy Low Brass/ Low Woodwind parts all combine so that you can program HAPPY SUMMER SONG with confidence. Whether you have a full complement of players or your instrumentation is a little 'sketchy'; whether you have plenty of rehearsal time or that precious commodity is a bit rare, you can count on having this one ready in time for the show. / Niveau : 1 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Par MAW NICHOLAS. Written for Melinda Maxwell and the Orchestra of St. John's Smith Square to commemorate the orchestra's twenty first anniversary. the happy surprise, of his Little Concert. . . beneath the graceful long lines and jig-like spurts of a solo part expressly written for Melinda Maxwell, Maw finds time and space enough to draw quite long-range implications from his basic motif of a semitone plus a major third, and to insert some of his special, densely poetic harmonies. Bayan Northcott, The Independent, 6 June 1988. Scored for Oboe solo, two Horns, two Violins, Viola, Cello and Double Bass. / Niveau : Elémentaire / Répertoire / Conducteur

Par YAGISAWA SATOSHI. This work is a close-up of the encounters and relationships of trust between people, following the idea that 'friendship lasts forever.” After the passing of Satoshi Yagisawa’s close friend and work partner, Tsutomu Murata, a designer of Neo Create in August 2020, the composer began work on this piece. Murata performed music for audiences primarily as a leader and conductor of Kurume City Brass, a group which is active in Fukuoka Prefecture in Japan. Eternal Frienship depicts a five-minute chorale which explores “how music can convey that a close friend is indispensable to you, more broadly, everyone to someone,” much like how Murata conveyed the appeal of music to his audiences. Under the direction of the composer himself, the work had its world premiere and was recorded with the Kobe College Wind Orchestra. / Date parution : 2021-11-03/ Répertoire / Orchestre D'Harmonie

Par UTBULT JAN. “The Inner Wing” is a happy, mid-tempo jazz tune! The title refers partly to a bird’s wing, but also to a small group of islands in the archipelago of Gothenburg. The parts are written to be funny and developing to play for the musicians, but also sound good together. The piece feature a 16-bar improvisation for Part 1 beginning in measure 21. For the first 8 bars, a suggestion for improvisation is written. For the last 8 bars, one might play Part 1 as written or improvise freely. The 16 bars for improvisation might be repeated if more than one soloist should be showcased. / Date parution : 2023-07-31/ Répertoire / Ensemble flexible à 4 parties

Full Score. Par CHATMAN STEPHEN. Commissioned by the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra with assistance from the Canada Council. Premiere: January 15, 1986, Edmonton, Alberta; Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, Glenn Mossop, conductor. The composer describes Crimson Dream as: “a musical depiction of a romantic dream, one in which events and feelings are constantly and suddenly changing.” The emotional contrasts of good-evil, sad-happy, and ugly-beautiful are evoked by a broad range of musical styles which are juxtaposed and overlapped, resulting in a musical collage./ Répertoire / Orchestre Symphonique

An American Tapestry is a continuous medley of three American folk songs: the happy-go-lucky The Girl I Left Behind Me, the somber and reflective He's Gone Away, and the foot-stompin' hoedown Ol' Dan Tucker. The setting was originally composed for chamber winds (11 players) and has been completely re-scored by the composer in this new edition for full wind ensemble. The contrasting tempi and sentiments of the tunes, enlivened with unique and colorful harmonies and instrumentation, contribute to make this appealing for wind players from high school to professional. / Harmonie
