for Oboe and Concert Band. Par SPARKE PHILIP. White Light (Lumière Blanche) est une pièce lumineuse et harmonieusement légère, ponctuellement colorée par l’orchestre, mettant en valeur la pureté des flûtes traversières et des clarinettes en utilisant des accords majeurs et mineurs simples. De caractère pastoral et de style plutôt baroque, White Light expose avec passion la quintessence du hautbois en tant qu’instrument solo. / Niveau : 3 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie et Hautbois

Par SPARKE PHILIP. Out of the Darkness, Into the Light is about optimism. All of us experience disappointments in our lives, such failed relationships or the loss of loved ones, but the indomitability of the human spirit allows us to overcome such set backs and get through the darker moments. For some, faith and religion may be the answer, but this piece is more about the internal strength that we can all call upon. Opening in sombre mood, the first phase of the work symbolises the doubts we all have about ourselves and our lives. The opening phrase on solo clarinet appears throughout the piece and could be seen as the central idea of the work, the human spirit itself. The faster, centralsection is about the struggle to overcome the pain we experience and at bar 88 the moment of catharsis occurs. This signals a change of mood and from then on, the clarinet motif is transformed into a feeling of joy and optimism. We have entered the light. / Niveau : 5 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Par SAKAI ITARU. This work takes both its name and inspiration from a lighthouse “Sword Cape” that keeps watch near Japan’s naval base. The piece describes how, come rain or shine, the lighthouse bids a safe journey to departing ships, guides them during their travels and eventually welcomes them home again. The music evokes many musical images - grand ships sailing by, white-capped waves, the deep blue of the ocean and the light of ‘sword cape” as it silently guides ships over the mysterious waters. / Niveau : 4 / Marche de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Concert March. Par SAKAI TAKAMASA. akamasa Sakai s’est laissé inspiré à la fois par la lumière comme source de joie et de bien-être, et par une déclinaison de scènes de lumière : les reflets de la lumière sur l’eau, les jeux de lumière d’un feu d’artifice, la lumière du soleil qui filtre à travers les arbres et les illuminations des parcs à thèmes. The Banquet of Light s’ouvre dans une atmosphère éclatante. Les trombones et les trompettes exposent une ligne puissante, reprise par les bois sous la forme d’une variation. La mélodie du trio développe un motif répété, basé sur les notes Mi, La, Si et Ré avant de se fondre dans la fanfare initiale qui clôt l’oeuvre dans un brillant élan de lumière. / Niveau : 4 / Date parution : 1905-06-28/ Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie
