Le Sacrifice est mon deuxième opéra, écrit pour WNO et a été créée en 2007. Il est basé sur l'une des histoires Mabinogian, une collection d'anciens mythes du Pays de Galles. C'est une histoire d'amour au milieu d'un conflit civil ou clanique, et déboucher sur un acte suprême de l'auto-sacrifice qui guérit finalement la haine communautaire et apporte la paix et d'espoir renouvelé. Dans sa première production qui a placé l'action dans un proche avenir, plutôt que d'un passé mythique.Il ya un certain nombre d'interludes orchestraux qui relient les scènes dans un flux continu dans chacun des trois actes. Trois sont extraits ici pour faire une suite de concert.1) The PartingAprès une assignation finale secret, les deux amants, Sian et Evan se séparent, avant le mariage qui apportera les deux tribus ensemble. Il a été convenu que Sian veut se marier une fois, le chef de l'autre côté. Les deux ont le coeur brisé, mais se sont engagés à faire leur devoir pour sceller la trêve.2) PassacagliaLes clients des deux groupes de belligérants se réunissent pour la fête de mariage. Elle mettra fin à la violence.3) L'investitureSept ans plus tard, une autre tentative est faite pour rapprocher les deux communautés. Gwyn, le jeune fils de Sian et de Mal, est d'être 'couronné', comme un symbole de l'unité souhaitée. Les foules se rassemblent au cours de cette musique. La scène se termine dans les assassiner de l'enfant, par Evan. / Orchestre

Par SPARKE PHILIP. MASQUERADE was commissioned by Stadtmusik Willisau from Switzerland (Reto Güdel, conductor) to celebrate their 175th anniversary in 2003 and first performed by them in November that year. 1. OvertureThe first movement opens with a fanfare-like figure, featuring the brass, before the main them is introduced over staccato chords. After a short, syncopated interlude a legato theme is introduced in the tenor register and material is developed until the music slows temporarily. The opening theme returns and the ‘tenor’ tune is taken up by the whole band until the opening fanfare returns to close the movement. 2. ElegyThe slow movement opens intensely with a bare two-part theme, whichleads to a passionate chorale-style melody. A second theme is introduced and leads to a climax, a return of the chorale theme and a pianissimo repeat which again leads to a full-band climax. The two-part theme returns quietly to create a peaceful close. 3 InterludeA short movement which changes the mood to introduce:- 4 FinaleThree violent chords preface a lively syncopated opening theme. The trumpets introduce a second idea, which is treated fugally, and this in turn leads to the main melodic idea of the movement, over staccato chords. A contrasting subject is then introduced in the middle of the band, followed by echoes of the first movement fanfare. The opening theme returns and material is revisited until the opening fanfare returns in full to end the work triumphantly. / Niveau : 4 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

The two-movement, incompletely transmitted Horn Concerto in D major K. 412 was long considered as Mozart?s first horn concerto - it is, however, his last, and was written between March and December 1791. Mozart undertook revisions in the autograph ? which contains the most important orchestral parts next to the entire solo horn part ? in order to adjust the work to the modest technical abilities of the planned soloist Joseph Leutgeb. Mozart revised and completed the first movement, eliminated lower notes in the solo part, rewrote difficult passages and expanded orchestral interludes to give Leutgeb additional breath rests. Mozart also made similar simplifications in the second movement as well, but his early death prevented the completion of the work.Robert D. Levin reconstructed both versions of the concerto on the basis of the autograph. Next to the version revised by Mozart (?post correcturam?), he now presents the original version (?ante correcturam?) for the first time in a musical text revised and supplemented according to rigorous philological criteria. / Conducteur

This Aric Schneller arrangement is a burnin' swing chart of a Cole Porter jazz standard. Great energy is created with the 180 BPM tempo, the solo space for alto 1, and a fierce unison horn interlude. A superior chart for a good band! (4:54) / Ensemble De Jazz
