Par HOUBEN KEVIN. Kevin Houben a composé avec When the Lights Go Down, un merveilleux choral qui peut amener un moment de réflexion dans tout programme de concert. Les mélodies humbles et magnifiques du début de cette composition se développent lentement jusqu'à atteindre un point culminant avec une orchestration croissante. Le morceau commence par un Adagio Meditativo suggestif, suivra l’exposition du thème principal. Une section centrale sous forme de pont emmène l'auditeur à travers les différentes sphères dans lesquelles les percussions mélodiques et rythmiques enrichissent les parties du choral. Finalement, les éléments thématiques de l'introduction ramènent le morceau à une fin calme et paisible. La simplicité même avec laquelle cette œuvre est écrite en fait une pièce de concert accomplie et magnifique. ‘When the Lights Go Down’ fait référence à un moment où le temps s'arrête pour un instant, au calme en soi et autour de soi./ Répertoire / Concert Band/Harmonie

Arr. Lorenzo Bocci. Par HENSON / SAM POTTLE. “It’s time to play the music. It’s time to light the lights. It’s time to meet the Muppets on the Muppet Show tonight. ” These lyrics opened the Muppet Show, which has been broadcast in over 100 countries around the world.

This ?Suite' is not one of my 'epic' instrumental concertos such as the concertos for cello, violin or oboe, but a substantially smaller-structured series of dance forms arranged into a suite. Sunken worlds suddenly emerge here, only to reach the surface, hover in dangerously distorted fashion and then sink back to the bottom.Almost every individual movement allots the solo flute a specific tonal colouring and an instrumental group from the orchestra: in the opening Allemande, the flutes of the orchestra (including alto and bass flute and later also piccolo to include the entire flute family) - the string section in the Sarabande - in both chorales (extremely muted in the first and brutalist in the second), the brass etc. - and it is only in the concluding Badinerie that all orchestral groups are combined, although they are terraced in the Baroque style, one following another, seldom all playing simultaneously.This permits the flute to remain the provider of all impulses - it attaches itself to the wide variety of instrumental colours, becomes suffused with these colours and thereby shines in different lights - acerbic, pale and radiant. This first performance marks the conclusion of my two-year residence with the Cleveland Orchestra. The immense versatility of this fine body of sound (which is indeed treated as such with the sum of its parts) and the exciting dark timbre of its principal flautist Joshua Smith have to a great extent determined the form and tonal character of my Flûte en suite.

for clarinet, violin, viola, cello, piano and percussion. Par PTASZYNSKA MARTA. Composition was written in 2008 on a commission from the University of Chicago for the celebration of the 100th anniversary of Olivier Messiaen's birth. This tree movement work attempts to refer to Messiaen's work, in particular to the beautiful sonorities of the Quatour pour la fin du temps. From ancient time the rainbow has been considered a symbol of reconciliation of man with God, literally, associated with a colourful spectrum of lights. In this work this colorful spectrum is audible in a multitude of sonorities and timbres which are gradually and continouously changing, similary to the spectral development of the colours in a rainbow. / Date parution : 2023-06-01/ Répertoire / Clarinette, Violon, Alto, Violoncelle, Piano et Pe

Par CURNOW PAUL. Colorful lights, shining candles, sparkling bulbs, gifts beautifully wrapped and friends coming to visit. And with the friends come music, merry singing and joyous carols resounding through the house.

Then when Jingle Bells is heard, it seems as though you should stand and dance while singing. It is the Festive Season! / Niveau : 1 / Répertoire / Concert Band
