Par TCHEREPNINE ALEXANDER. for saxophone and woodwind trio (oboe, clarinet and bassoon)/ Répertoire / Saxophone et Trio à vent

for Band. Par MAIRS DAVID. This march was written for the Durham MS Band in Lewisville, TX, an enthusiastic group of young musicians, growing in their technique and musicality and eager to sound like the big kids. Pride of the Maroon Dragons features a variety of articulations for the trumpets and upper woodwinds in the first strain, and a bold melody for the low brass and low woodwinds in the second. The trio features a smooth, legato melody in the clarinets and horns, followed by a melodic refrain in which every section has something important to say. Throughout the march, the percussionists have plenty to do on many different instruments, while the horns will be smiling quietly because they don't have to play any after-beats! / Date parution : 2022-10-12/ Répertoire / Marching Band

Par VAN DER ROOST JAN. Minerva by Jan Van der Roost was composed on the commission of the German “Musikverein Braunshausen” on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the orchestra. The composition, first performed on September 17, 1999, is not a street march but a concert march, just like Mercury and Arsenal. The use and variation of different rhythmic patterns gives the first part of this march a distinctly dynamic character. Two main themes are presented in several instrumental combinations. The theme from the trio, on the other hand, is characterized by a broad melodic approach using large intervals. This theme, wreathed by high woodwinds, is heard one more time after a contrasting newpart, but now in a somewhat slower tempo. The counterpoint in this part refers to the first part of the march. The brilliant ending suits a festive anniversary march! / Niveau : 4 / Marche / Répertoire / Brass Band

Par BARKER WARREN. Ponder for a moment the lengths to which people have gone, the trials they have endured, and the risks they have taken while fighting to gain or preserve their freedom. After all, without freedom, what do you have?The opening of IN PRAISE OF FREEDOM introduces a sense of patriotism and independence. The Brass, Woodwinds, and Percussion take turns sharing the 'spotlight' throughout this uplifting piece. A final fanfare praises the progress of the relentless development of freedom for all mankind. / Niveau : 4 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie
