Par MURAIL TRISTAN. Un essai de virtuosité combinée - instruments / électronique. Les sons électroniques prolongent les sons acoustiques au-delà des limites de la virtuosité instrumentale, et répercutent les sons instrumentaux dans l'espace. La synthèse s'appuie essentiellement sur la technique dite 'synthèse par modèles physiques', où l'ordinateur tente de simuler le comportement physique des instruments (souffle, archet, etc...). En moyenne et extrême raison : cela semble une sorte d'oxymore, aux puissantes suggestions poétiques - mais c'est en fait une expression mathématique qui désigne le type de proportions à partir de quoi on calcule ces entités (mythiques pour beaucoup) que sont le nombre d'or, la série de Fibonacci, etc... J'en déduis toutes sortes de divisions inégales des durées et des fréquences, mais en gardant toujours une distance quelque peu ironique par rapport à un modèle dont on a trop largement abusé. Et j'espère que prévaudra finalement la dimension 'poétique' suggérée par le titre : oppositions inattendues et mots à double sens.

as performed by Dua Lipa featuring DaBaby. Par LIPA DUA / KELLY SEB (Arr.). Le grand succès de la chanteuse et parolière anglaise Dua Lipa, « Levitating », a été écrit en Jamaïque lors d'une séance d'enregistrement pour son deuxième album studio, Future Nostalgia. C'est une chanson dansante énergique qui mêle les caractéristiques de plusieurs styles tels que power pop et electro disco. Très applaudie à sa sortie, elle a été comparée à la musique de vedettes comme Debbie Harry, Katy Perry, Kate Nash et Kylie Minogue. L'arrangeur Seb Skelly a été séduit, lui aussi, par ce titre accrocheur. Il l'a donc arrangé pour quintette de cuivres avec partie de batterie optionnelle, et le résultat déclenchera très certainement une envie irrésistible de danser !/ Répertoire / Quintette de Cuivres et Percussion optionnelle

This assertive and horn-laced electro-pop hit by British singer Dua Lipa is loaded with stylish musical material that scores naturally for marching band. Aggressice groove and punchy harmonized melodies combine in a steady build to the uplifting climax. Production values abound in this effective change of pace arrangement.

Score Only-The biggest hit song for the Summer of 2014 comes from Australian artist Iggy Azalea. Holding the #1 spot on Billboard's Top 100 Songs for seven weeks and counting and having sold 2.7 million copies Fancy is undeniably Queen of the Songs of Summer. Jay captures the essential musical style and hip-hop rhythms of this electro-pop wonder in a tight and compact arrangement all bands will enjoy. This is sure to become one of the most popular and recognizable tunes to be played in the stands this fall.

The Waltz Joan of Arc-In 1981 the group OMD (Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark) managed to turn the ancient legend of Joan of Arc into a modern electro-pop song-and thus leave a landmark in the landscape of pop themselves. The solemn melody over the steady drums in 4/4time creates an almost hypnotic effect that will charm anyone who hears this wind band arrangement.

For Concert Wind band and Pre-recorded-Alex Shapiro first brought electroacoustic music-- paired with using an everyday object as an instrument-- to middle school bands with her 2010 piece PAPER CUT. Now comes ROCK MUSIC possibly the very first geo-electroacoustic minimalist band piece largely devoid of melody and of rhythm. Conceptual and atmospheric the music features compelling textures from instruments voices and rocks that weave a wind band into a piece of sonic fabric stretched across linear time. As the notes slowlycrawl melt and scrape over a sonic landscape in random irregular ways were connected to the ancient glaciers which carved the world we know and which we strive to protect. Like PAPER CUT ROCK MUSIC can be equally appreciated by mature bandsand their audiences as well. To perform ROCK MUSIC youll need an audio system capable of playing the prerecorded audio tracks from a laptop computer via a small digital audio interface connected to an audio mixer.

Continuing in the tradition of her innovative electroacoustic band works including Paper Cut Immersion and Tight Squeeze Alex Shapiro's Liquid Compass takes the musicians and the audience on a journey that spans the mystical and the triumphant. A subliminal connection to the sea is conveyed through the creative use of metal bowls filled with water and flutists will particularly enjoy the otherworldly “ooh-wah” effect that wends through the piece. Commemorating¦the 140th anniversary of Carthage College's wind band this work¦migrates to different places but never loses its bearings in pursuit of a musical true north.To perform thepiece you'll need an audio system capable of playing the prerecorded audio tracks from a laptop computer via a small digital audio interface connected to an audio mixer.

Par D'ADAMO DANIEL. The starting point for the composition of this piece was the musical observation of sound materials that were both tiny and extremely detailed, expressing a strong musical potential. Nano-sounds, materials which belong to a relatively small and hardly perceptible acoustic world which through composition, are projected on a much wider listening scale. This change of perspective, both real and imaginary, takes place through the composition of the score and of the electroacoustic part, but especially through the amplification and diffusion of the instrumental and the electronic sound on the loudspeakers. / Date parution : 2022-02-03/ Répertoire / Quatuor à Cordes et Electronique

Redshift occurs when an object emitting light or other electromagnetic radiation is moving away from an observer. Those waves are shifted toward the red end of the spectrum, like the light waves astronomers measure when studying the most distant galaxies. The melodies in this piece tend to move away directionally from a central point, but in this case the 'gravity' of the central note is too strong, and eventually pulls them back again. (3:15) / Concert Band

Britain's singing sensation Imogen Heap has created breathtaking new sounds with her electronically manipulated vocal recordings. Hide and Seek features ethereal moods and rich harmonic textures and adapts wonderfully for band inthis haunting and beautiful transcription from Jay Bocook.

From the acclaimed composer of Paper Cut AlexªShapiro this unique high-energy work could beªdescribed by the following: imagine Arnold Schoenberg ªHenry Mancini and Charlie Parker walking into aªdance club in Havana and staying for three minutes. Tight Squeeze ventures into new territory as it exploresªchromaticism and syncopation against a prerecordedªpercussion groove. The result is the repertoire's first electroacousticªtwelve-tonetechno Latin bebop band piece! Okay maybe Schoenbergªdid all that first but it never sounded quite like this!To perform the piece you'll need an audio system capable of playing the prerecorded audio tracks from a laptopcomputer via a small digital audio interface connected to an audio mixer.

Corona - The Solar Trilogy No. 3 for Orchestra was composed by Poul Ruders in 1995.Programme note:CORONA makes the final part of the SOLAR-TRILOGY a huge symphonic triptych about the life and behavior of the Sun. The first'panel' GONG depicts the birth life and final collapse of our nearest star the second ZENITH describes in its ultra-slow tempo the patient rise of the Sun toward midday ferocity and its subsequent setting. CORONA then is a symphonic 'portrait' of the phenomenally hot whispy brim encircling and radiating from the Sun a sizzling halo of electrons and photons visible only during a total eclipse. Formally CORONAfollows the process of such totality in progress:the gradual eclipsing by the Moon - total darkness with thefierce sparkling outer corona - the gradual 'rebirth' of the light toward the full gl.ory and warmth of the Sun.Besides the obvious astronomical narrative of the SOLAR-TRILOGY there's a metaphysical angle too underlying each of the three compositions: GONG in spite of its apparent energy may be the most pessimistic of them all epitomizing the death and ultimate annihilation of the prime source of Life itself. ZENITH is a hommage to human aspiration and spiritual endurance and CORONA ends with Hope and Glory after a journey from depression throughtotal despair. Super-structurally the zenith of ZENITH makes the zenith of the entire trilogy i.e. when the E- flat of the unisone horns in ZENITH is heard we are exactly halfway through the collected work.Poul Ruders
