for large ensemble. Par TURNAGE MARK-ANTHONY. One of the movements in Scorched (arrangements of seventeen tunes by John Scofield for jazz trio and orchestra) has a coda, which repeats a dense, two-bar tag which sounded like it could be developed. Snapshots starts off by revealing bits of each of the two bars (with episodes placed in-between). The full two bars of music are then revealed at the end of the piece. Snapshots is a tribute to Olly [Oliver Knussen] on his 50th birthday. Mark-Anthony Turnage/ Répertoire / Ensemble de Musique de Chambre

La mélodie est échangée entre les saxophones et trompettes et solos sont inclus pour trompette et saxophone alto. / Jazz Band

Par SPARKE PHILIP. A Bandsman’s Overture was commissioned by British Bandsman magazine to celebrate its 125th anniversary in 2012. It was premiered by Black Dyke Band, conducted by Dr Nicholas Childs, at a special anniversary concert held in Symphony Hall, Birmingham, on July 1st. British Bandsman was for a period known as British Bandsman and Contest Field, following an amalgamation of two magazines. The then owner, John Henry Iles, celebrated this new title by commissioning Ord Hume to write the famous march, BB & CF. As a salute to this heritage A Bandsman’s Overture starts with the four notes, B(b)-B(b)-C-F, a motive which permeates an opening fanfare, which contrasts a busy opening with a more legato central section. This gives way to a bustling Vivo, based on repeated staccato notes. A change of key heralds a central cantabile melody, first on euphoniums and baritone and then played by the full band, which is followed by a short development section. This leads to a transformed reprise and a return of the opening fanfare, decorated this time by florid muted cornets. / Niveau : 4 / Ouverture / Répertoire / Brass Band

Par ARNOLD MALCOLM. À la surface une extension facile à écouteur d'idiome de début-romantique du champ, c'est la musique englobant les lacets de l'humeur et matériau tellement bizarre d'être presque déconcertant. (Imaginez Chopin comme il pourrait avoir été recomposé par Kagel)... ' Malcolm Hayes, le Sunday Telegraph, 5 mai 1996 / Niveau : Elémentaire / Répertoire / Conducteur

A straight-eighth groove that's a little funky plus a catchy melody at 130 BPM, and you have a winner. Features written solos for tenor, trumpet 2, or guitar, lead trumpet range to written A, a great bari sax part, and optional parts for Latin percussion and vibes. Excellent writing.
