Comme le reggae ou le sòn le calypso est le miroir de la société antillaise sa pulsation vitale et son âme. De retour d?une tournée à Sainte-Lucie Rob Wiffin s?est attelé à l?écriture d?un calypso personnel auquel il a donné le titre de St Lucia Calypso en hommage à cette magnifique île des Caraïbes. On y retrouve toute la quintessence de cette musique aux rythmes souples et chaloupés : lumière gaîté et rêves d?ailleurs.

La musique des Caraïbes est aussi plurielle que les îles et les ethnies qui la composent. Fasciné par cette mosaïque qui sent bon l?exotisme Roland Kernen vous invite à découvrir Caribbean Calypso (?Calypso des Caraïbes?) une œuvre aux rythmes chaloupés qui distille une délicieuse ligne mélodique sur fond de rhum et de cigare.

Trinidad est la capitale du calypso cette danse antillaise conçue sur un rythme facile au phrasé libre. Mais que l?on soit d?ici ou d?ailleurs on reconnaît instantanément la musique des Caraïbes ; une musique aux parfums de soleil d?étés de paresse source de bien-être. C?est ce bonheur contagieux que Philip Sparke a traduit en musique dans Clarinet Calypso.

Par BULLA STEPHEN. Beginning with a lazy tropical tempo, this treatment of Mary's Boy Child soon kicks into a catchy calypso beat. An enjoyable way to take the chill off of winter! / Niveau : 3 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Par COURT DOUGLAS. Conductors of beginning bands are always looking for fresh material that will be fun for the band while the students continue sharpening their playing skills. You and your students will certainly have a great time with this new Grade 1 piece by Douglas Court. Cast in a relaxed “island” style, it’s a great way to help young musicians understand the need for smooth tonguing and playing phrases that connect numerous notes with a continuous air stream. With Seaside Calypso in the folders you can continue teaching while you prepare for the concert. Easy-goin’! / Niveau : 1 / Musique légère originale / Répertoire / Concert Band

Feliz Navidad (Jose Feliciano) Brazilian Sleighbells (Percy Faith) and the always popular Silver Bells are cleverly combined in a calypso/Latin style that gives this medley a great new twist for a holiday concert. And of course it has plenty of percussion effects to feature.

In Greek mythology Boreas is the God of the North Wind. When thinking of the north wind we particularly think of the bleak wind coming from the freezing cold north but in Homers' work we see a more varied picture. As shown in the following two stories Boreas often does play the role of a storm wind that blows forth heavy dark clouds while whipping up the dark waves of the tempestuous sea to mountainous heights. When the stake of the fallen Patroclos refuses to burn Achilles begs for some wind. When Iris the swift messenger of the Gods asks the winds for assistance they raise themselves up with tremendous roaring and rush to Troy. Upon theirarrival they blow the divine fire of Patroclos' stake far up into the sky. When Troy was destroyed the Greeks returned home. After many wanderings Odysseus however ends up with the beautiful nymph Calypso who keeps him as a prisoner. As ordered by Zeus Calypso frees him and sends him off on a handmade wooden raft. At sea Odysseus is threatened by the aggressive sea god Poseidon who stirs up the winds and thrashes the waves with his trident. The goddess Athena stems the violence of all the winds except for the north wind and thus it is Boreas who sends Odysseus to the land of the hospitable Phaiakes. Jan Bosveld composed Boreas for OLTO a music association in Loenen The Netherlands for which he had served as conductor for many years. Turbulent movement in both tempo and dynamics characterize this composition. The result is a whirling piece that races by in a positive manner. Boreas is in de Griekse mythologie de god van de noordenwind. Bij noordenwind denken wij vooral aan de gure wind uit het ijskoude noorden bij Homerus echter zien we een meer gevariëerd beeld. Natuurlijk speelt Boreas zoals uit de twee onderstaande verhalen blijkt meestal de rol van de stormwind die de zware zwarte wolken voor zich uit blaast en de donkere golven van de onstuimige zee torenhoog opzwiept.

The weather inspired Albert Dam to compose Weather Report. The three parts Windy (rock) Misty (ballad) and Sunny (calypso) want to make us believe that the weather will be changeable. Stable or not the music is solid as a rock. Het weer inspireerde Albert Dam tot het schrijven van Weather Report. De drie delen Windy (rock) Misty (ballad) en Sunny (calypso) willen ons doen geloven dat het weer afwisselend zal zijn. Stabiel of niet de muziek staat als een huis! Dit werk is opgenomen in het Klein repertorium harmonie - 5e divisie
