Par PRIMA LOUIS. Sing, Sing, Sing (With a Swing)' is a 1936 song, with music and lyrics by Louis Prima, who first recorded it with the New Orleans Gang in February that year. Fletcher Henderson recorded a vocal version in August 1936 One year later, on July 6, 1937, 'Sing, Sing, Sing' was recorded in Hollywood with Benny Goodman on clarinet; Gene Krupa on drums and Harry James in the trumpet section. The song was arranged by Jimmy Mundy. Unlike most big band arrangements of that era, limited in length to three minutes so that they could be recorded on one side of a standard 10-inch 78-rpm record, the version which Goodman’s band recorded was an extended work. The 1937 recording lasted 8 minutes and 43 seconds, and it took up both sides of a 12-inch 78. The recording of Goodman's 1938 Carnegie Hall live performance (with impromptu solos) took 12 minutes and 30 seconds. Feel free to extend the song with soloes if wanted! The 1937 Benny Goodman recording was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1982.[3] The music has been used in over 30 movies and in TV series as Gilmore Girls, The Sopranos and Everybody loves Raymond. / Date parution : 2023-07-31/ Répertoire / Ensemble Flexible à 5 Parties

Arr. Naohiro Iwai. Par PRIMA LOUIS. Artiste plein d’humour et de fantaisie, trompettiste et chanteur, Louis Prima (1910-1978) s'inscrit dans la grande tradition de la musique américaine, entre jazz et variété. Louis Prima, c’est le dixieland, le swing, le R&B et l'inventeur des shows de Las Vegas. Le monde entier a fredonné ses chansons telles que Just a Gigolo, mais son plus grand succès date des années 30 lorsque Benny Goodman enregistre Sing, Sing, Sing, le standard qui va propulser Louis Prima au sommet de son art. / Niveau : 3 / Musique légère originale / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Oratorio in two parts Rome 1707. Par HAENDEL GEORG FRIEDRICH. With his “La Bellezza ravveduta nel trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno” (“Beauty Reformed in the Triumph of Time and Enlightenment”), HWV 46a, the 22-year-old Handel notched up one of his greatest successes in this genre right at the very beginning of his oratorio oeuvre. Composed in Rome in 1707, the work was for a long time known as “Il trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno” (“The Triumph of Time and Enlightenment”). In keeping with the Halle Handel Edition, however, the title is that of the name given in the primary source. In many cases inspired by the melodically rich ideas of Reinhard Keiser (1674–1739), the work is unsurpassed by any other oratorio by Handel. At the end of an impressive sequence of truly captivating arias, duets and quartets, Bellezza’s reformation in favour of living a life pleasing to God is accompanied in incisive E major by her overwhelmingly beautiful, impossibly sad closing aria “Tu del ciel ministro eletto”, the consummate pinnacle of dramatic irony in Handel’s output. By virtue of its flawless dramatic structure as well – unlike many other oratorios and all operas of the Baroque period, the story never goes off at a tangent and all arias revolve around the dispute of the four dramatic personae – the oratorio has enjoyed long runs of widely acclaimed, mostly staged performances in the last few years./ Répertoire / Opéra

Par VAN DER ROOST JAN. Singapura Suite was commissioned by Singapore's Ministry of Education Extracurricular Activities Branch to serve as a compulsory piece for the 1999 Singapore Youth Festival. 'Singapura' is the original name of Singapore in Malay, the native language there. Because Singapore is one of the most important harbors in the world, this two-piece work opens with a seaman's dance. An authentic melody, Chan Mali Chan, is woven into the middle of this first part, whose ABA form becomes clear through the recapitulation of the seaman's dance in a somewhat altered form. Singapore is also a dynamic city-state alive with excitement, thus the second part begins with a fitting dance, a fastbourrée. As contrast there is a second authentic melody, Dayung Sampan, a more easygoing sailing song. This short but curious suite ends in high spirits with a recapitulation of the beginning. / Niveau : 2.5 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Suite of Singaporean Folk Songs. Par SPARKE PHILIP. Postcard from Singapore ('Carte postale de Singapour') est une ?uvre en trois mouvements inspirés de chants traditionnels singapouriens. Le premier mouvement est basé sur le chant Gelang Sipaku Gelang, originaire de la région de Geylang. Le texte parle de l'esprit communautaire et de la vie en harmonie au sein d'une communauté. Le second mouvement, plus lent, développe la mélodie d'un chant que les enfants chantent souvent en ch?ur, Di-Tanjung Katong. Le troisi¬me mouvement rassemble deux airs traditionnels : Lenggang Kangkung chante le gracieux mouvement du cresson de rizi¬re avant d'¼tre associé ± Munnearu Vaalibaa dans un délicat traitement contrapuntique. / Niveau : 3 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Fanfare

Arr. Wil Van Der Beek. Par WAGNER RICHARD. Der Aufzug der Meistersinger stammt aus dem dritten Akt von Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, Wagners einziger 'leichter' Oper. Rund zwanzig Jahre lang hat er an einer stimmigen dramatischen Handlung, gut gefügten musikalischen Linien und einer ausgewogenen Partitur gefeilt. Im Aufzug, einem flammenden Marsch, stehen die ersten siebzehn Takte für die Sammlung und Ernennung der 'Meistersinger' (man beachte das Trompetensignal!). Die letzten Takte beschreiben eine feierliche Prozession, bei der die 'Meistersinger' unter dem Jubel und Fahnenschwingen des Volkes zum Festplatz schreiten. / Niveau : 3 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Par WEILL KURT. Kurt Weill developed his creative energies mainly within the world of musical theater, where he proved to be an immensely productive and imaginative innovator, but he also left behind a small body of work for the concert hall. The Concerto for Violin and Wind Orchestra op. 12 dates from the spring of 1924. Scored for two flutes, clarinets, bassoons, horns, one oboe and trumpet, percussion and four contrabasses, the concerto comprises three movements. While composing the work, Weill informed his publisher: 'I am working on a concerto for violin and wind orchestra that I hope to finish within two or three weeks. The work is inspired by the idea - one never carried out before - of juxtaposing a single violin with a chorus of winds.' The specific character of Weill's concerto as music written for chamber orchestra (with an often soloistic treatment of instruments) leads to a transparency that requires utmost precision in the ensemble playing. In the quest for an overall sonic balance, the coarser-sounding wind instruments need to explore all dynamic nuances. The solo part is challenging not only from a technical standpoint but also from an acoustic one (it is crucial to make the violin 'sound'). In spite of these challenges - or precisely because of them - critics in the 1920s called the solo part highly idiomatic and extremely rewarding. Since then the concerto has become a 'modern classic' in concert halls around the world. (Elmar Juchem, August 2010)/ Répertoire / Violon et Orchestre d'Instruments à Vent

Par DE HAAN JACOB. Singapour, la cité du Lion, est l’un des plus importants carrefours d’Asie. Singapour mélange habilement les cultures chinoises, malaises, indiennes et occidentales. La musique traditionnelle est à l’image de la multiethnicité de cette ville-état. Les deux mouvements de cette composition s’inspirent de chants traditionnels malais. Le premier mouvement développe quatre chants traditionnels de caractère contrastant et contrasté. Le second mouvement est basé sur les chants Lenggang Kangkung (qui dépeint le gracieux mouvement du cresson de rizière), Katang Lompat (une chanson moraliste qui évoque le symbolisme de la grenouille) et un chant de mariage. Les deux mouvements de cetterhapsodie ne sont pas intimement liés. Il est donc possible de les interpréter séparément. / Niveau : 2.5 / Pièce de concert / Date parution : 1905-06-26/ Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie
