Par DE HAAN JACOB. La philosophie chinoise est dominée par les notions de Yin et de Yang, deux principes naturels opposés et complémentaires qui déterminent tout individu, toute chose et tout phénomène. Le Yin et le Yang sont le masculin et le féminin, le jour et la nuit, l’obscurité et la lumière, etc. Dans Yin Yang Serenade, Jacob de Haan applique cette conception à la musique en opposant le jeu en legato au jeu en staccato, la tonalité mineure à la tonalité Majeure, etc. , donnant ainsi naissance à des contrastes éthérés et fluides. / Niveau : 2 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Minor: Bordun. Par ORFF CARL / KEETMAN GUNILD. Carl Orff devoted much of his life to the development of a philosophy of Music for Children, based on his belief that music is the natural outcome of speech, rhythm and movement. His ideas and pioneering work have had a major influence on music and dance education throughout the world and today that work continues under the guidance of leading teachers and educators in many countries. The five basic German volumes of 'Music for Children' by Carl Orff and Gunild Keetman were published between 1950 and 1954. Edition have since been published in Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Estonia, France, Ghana, Great Britain (including a special Welsh edition), Greece, Italy, Japan, Korea, Latin-America, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan and the USA. In 1952 the first edition in translation appeared, an English language adaptation by Doreen Hall and Arnold Walter for their Canadian and American students. A few years later, Margaret Murray independently developed a version (1957-1966), essentially to fulfil the needs of United Kingdom teachers. Inevitably the considerable growth of Orff-Schulwerk in the United States led to the publication of the American Edition (1977) to satisfy the requirements of a different educational system and national heritage. Orff-Schulwerk: Music for Children has proved itself to be a stimulating source of material for music teaching. Carl Orff's fundamental educational ideas have revitalized music education in nursery schools, at all levels of primary and secondary education and in special music schools, based on the concepts that: - music, dance and language are inter-related and animated through rhythm. - when children discover, invent, improvise and compose, their experience of music is intensified. These creative activities are complementary to those of interpreting and listening to music. - all who take part are encouraged to contribute, not only vocally but also instrumentally. - the Orff approach to music education is many sided; it is concerned with practical music-making, it provides fundamental experiences and it lays the foundation for a comprehensive musical training. - movement games and activities for body awareness in space, time and flow, lead to movement improvisation and dance forms. - music and dance have been notated in many different ways in history. Various ways of writing down sounds and music, as well as playing from and interpreting different kinds of sources are being explored. Today, countless teachers and institutions are using these ideas. More and more teachers look for ways of invovling their students in active music making. In particular, they seek to challenge their pupils' creativity by the use of music, dance and speech - as media of human expression - as a foundation of all education. A prerequisite for work in Orff-Schulwerk is the artistic and pedagogical training of teachers. The Orff Institute was founded in 1961 as a Department of the 'Mozarteum', in Salzburg, Austria. Training offered includes a four-year diploma course, a two-year post-graduate course, and a one-year-course in English. At the opening of the Orff Institute in Salzburg in 1963, Carl Orff ended his speech with a quotation from Schiller: 'I have done my part, now do yours.' That challenge has been taken up by teachers worldwide.

Par SAKAI ITARU. Lorsque la pleine lune inonde la mer de sa lumière mystérieuse, il est difficile d’imaginer que cette étendue si calme subit largement l’influence de l’attraction gravitationnelle de la Lune. La mer ne cesse de bouger sous l’effet de la Lune. Nous connaissons tous les mouvements de flux et de reflux de la mer. Les hauteurs de marée varient considérablement en fonction de la topographie locale. Entre les phases de marée haute et marée basse, on rencontre parfois de très forts courants de marée. Au Japon, on peut admirer le célèbre tourbillon géant de Naruto ( Naruto no Uzushio ) dans le détroit de Naruto, qui sépare l’île de Shikoku et l’île d’Awaji. Deux fois par an, lorsdes grandes marées, on observe des vortex de plus de vingt mètres de diamètre. Ce fantastique ballet de remous en spirales et de vagues blanches, qui se brisent avec fracas, nous fait prendre conscience de la force active de la nature. La première moitié de l’oeuvre dépeint les lignes apaisées d’un clair de lune sur la mer ( Moonlight ), tandis que le second tableau représente en gros plan le tourbillon géant ( Eddying Current ). / Niveau : 4 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Arr. Naohiro Iwai. Par GIBB BARRY. The hit of the seventies! When you say disco, you immediately think of the Bee Gees. Their hit song Stayin’ Alive has become an evergreen partly due to the fabulous dancing of John Travolta in the film Saturday Night Fever. This arrangement for concert band will make a great encore at your next concert! / Niveau : 4 / Musique légère originale / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Arr. Naohiro Iwai. Par GIBB BARRY. Die Bee Gees zählen neben den Beatles, Paul McCartney, Elvis Presley und Michael Jackson zu den fünf erfolgreichsten Solointerpreten und Gruppen der Popgeschichte. Unsterblich wurden die drei Brüder vor allem durch die Musik zum Film Saturday Night Fever, der wie kein anderer das Discofieber der 70er-Jahre beschreibt. Stayin' Alive wurde zum meistverkauften Soundtrack der Musikgeschichte. Mit dieser Bearbeitung können Sie mit Ihrem Blasorchester für Discofeeling und Stimmung sorgen. / Niveau : 4 / Musique légère originale / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Par STILES SARAH. Impro, an exciting new introduction to improvisation in string playing, is suited to absolute beginners as well as more advanced players. It can be combined with regular teaching methods or used as a source of relaxation and fun in lessons, and all the material is interchangeable between violin, viola, cello and double bass. The skills of free improvisation are built up in stages, using basic ideas and progressing to more complex patterns. There are guidelines all the way, plus duets with improvisation for teacher and pupil - and any other string players wishing to enjoy this lively and original style of music-making! A teacher working in Holland, Sarah Stiles leadsworkshops in her method of Free Improvisation, and is also the composer of the unique Dual Band, nine violin duos with improvisation./ Répertoire / Orchestre à Cordes

Par CURNOW JAMES. ased on Eternal Father, Strong to Save, which serves as the U. S. Navy Hymn, this work is truly a joy to play! High-flying melodies, emotive harmonic structures and an electrifying finale combine into a beautifully crafted musical statement. This one is as much a thrill for the audience as it is for the ensemble. Sparkling and heroic! / Niveau : 5 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band

Par GYORFFY ISTVAN. Hungarian-style dance music which flourished in the 16th and 17th centuries - generally referred to as ungaresca - represents a valuable part of European musical tradition. István Gyorffy's work (2007-2010) is a late successor of this tradition. It was written with the intention of embodying the eastern-central European tradition in order to present an alternative to the current fashions of music for wind instruments. The composer's approach to this style utilizes traditional forms of music. Both the first and third movements effectively optimize a concert band's tonal possibilities by using solos and small chamber groups in a varied manner. The slow and melodic second movement transfers a characteristic playing technique of Hungarian instrumental folk music to the concert band. István Gyorffy composed Ungaresca for young people preparing for careers in music. The work provides an excellent opportunity for students not only to display their instrumental skills, but also to gain orchestral playing experience./ Répertoire / Concert Band

Par BLANKEN JOHN. Why should rock musicians have all the fun? Now your band can experience the thrill of playing a piece in a classic 12-bar blues style. Many players are given the chance to show off their skills as a soloist before the work builds to a grand fortissimo finale with the whole band playin’ the blues! / Niveau : 3 / Musique légère originale / Répertoire / Brass Band

Par SHELTON MELVIN L.. A touching and intense memoriam piece, the mechanics are on the easy side of Grade 4, but the demand for tone quality and control in tenuto passages and long slurred phrases calls for the best of musicianship from any group. The 'Adagio e Rubato' tempo indication invites the kind of wonderfully expressive ensemble playing that should probably make up a larger part of band literature than it does today. Over a quiet unifying heartbeat from the timpani, the band explores the emotions felt after a tragic personal loss. A soaring F Horn solo (cued in Trumpet. and Alto Saxophone) leads poignantly toward a gentle Orchestra Bells and Wind Chime ending. / Niveau : 4 / Musique pour célébration / Répertoire / Concert Band

Par MIRANDA LIN-MANUEL. It was really fun to make an arrangement on these three great melodies from Encanto! Here, the band will be able to work with latin rhythms, syncopation (which doesn't rush) and with possible solo elements on the melody. Use your imagination and feel free to re-arrange to let your musicians shine. (Example: bar 27 and onwards can be performed as a duet) All three songs can be played separately. They have different degrees of difficulty and if the band lack the ability to perform the last melody, you can easily stop before that. 1. 'We don't talk about Bruno' (1-55) benefits greatly from having a Guiro saying 'go-ap tsh tsh'. This piece can be stopped by playing to the end of bar 54. If you want to play this piece only, you can easily extend it, by repeating from 27, perhaps with other soloists? 2. 'Surface Pressure' (55-116) If the cowbell-part is not played, percussionists have to play these two weak beats in 56. The groove for drum set is also very important from 68. Also, that you get a proper swing feeling on 84- 98 and that the drummer in 99 really goes back to even eighths. If you want to extend this piece, you may repeat from 84. If you want to end after this song, you can insert a ritardando 2 bars before 116 and preferably add a quarter note high G, then a quarter rest, and then a darker G. Another possibility is to repeat from 84 and then stop at the first note in 100. 3. 'The Family Madrigal' can of course also be played alone. This is truly a song that gets people clapping! I have chosen to make the opening rhythm a little easier by adding an eighth note to the one (120) If the ensemble has a very good understanding of rhythm, it can be skipped, but then the only tone in the phrase that is on the pulse beats will be the quarter note in the second measure. You can start the piece straight on bar 120 without the drum intro. If you want to extend this piece, you can repeat 152 – 199. (Or you can go all the way back to 136) If you do so, you can perhaps skip the first house at the end, if the audience is not standing on the chairs dancing Have fun performing this arrangement! The Movie Encanto is a 2021 American computer-animated musical fantasy comedy film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios. It follows a multigenerational Colombian family, the Madrigals, led by a matriarch (Botero) whose children and grandchildren—except for Mirabel Madrigal (Beatriz)—receive magical gifts from a miracle that helps them serve the people in their rural community called the Encanto. When Mirabel learns that the family is losing their magic, she sets out to find out what is happening, and save her family and their magical house. Encanto premiered at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles on November 3, 2021 The film received critical acclaim for its characterization, music, animation, voice acting, emotional depth, and cultural fidelity; reviews named magic realism and transgenerational trauma as the film's core concepts. Publications have described Encanto as a cultural phenomenon. The film was nominated for three awards at the 94th Academy Awards, winning Best Animated Feature, and received numerous other accolades. The film's soundtrack also became a success, reaching number one on the US Billboard 200 and UK Compilation Albums charts; 'We Don't Talk About Bruno' and 'Surface Pressure' were its two most successful songs, with the former topping both the US Billboard Hot 100 and UK Singles Chart for multiple weeks.
