Pjotr Iljitsj Tchaikovsky is famous for his fantastic moving melodies. Different to many of his other romantic Russian contemporaries, Tchaikovsky had a particular feel for the European music taste of music, which made him immensely popular. In this accessible compilation, arranger Wil van der Beek uses a selection of Tchaikovsky’s most beautiful melodies from works including Capriccio Italien, String Quartet No. 1 and his famous Piano Concerto No.1.

Pjotr Iljitsj Tsjaikovski staat bekend om zijn fantastische, treffende melodieën. Anders dan veel van zijn Russische tijdgenoten uit de romantiek had Tsjaikovski veel gevoel voor de Europese muzieksmaak, waardoor hij immens populair werd. Voor deze toegankelijke compilatie heeft arrangeur Wil van der Beek een selectie van Tsjaikovski’s mooiste melodieën gebruikt, uit de werken Capriccio Italien, het Strijkkwartet nr. 1 en het beroemde Pianoconcert nr.1.

Peter Iljitsch Tschaikowski ist berühmt für seine fantastischen, bewegenden Melodien. Im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen seiner russischen romantischen Zeitgenossen hatte Tschaikowski ein besonderes Gespür für den europäischen Musikgeschmack, was ihn ausgesprochen populär machte. In dieser Zusammenstellung verwendet der Arrangeur Wil van der Beek eine Auswahl von Tschaikowskis schönsten Melodien aus dem Capriccio Italien, dem Streichquartett Nr. 1 und seinem berühmten Klavierkonzert Nr. 1.

Piotr Ilitch Tcha kovski est connu pour ses magnifiques mélodies émouvantes.

Dans ce medley la portée de tous, l’arrangeur Wil van der Beek incorpore une sélection des plus belles mélodies de Tcha kovski, comme celles du Capriccio Italien, du Quatuor cordes n°1 et son célèbre Concerto pour piano n°1.

In English-speaking countries ‘Away in a Manger’ is one of the first Christmas songs to be taught to little children. It is a moving song with simple words, which makes it easy to understand.

The song is also known as ‘Luther’s Cradle Hymn’. This suggests that Martin Luther was the author of the lyrics. According to researchers, however, this is a misconception the author is unknown.
In England ‘Away in a Manger’ is sung to a different melody than in the USA, for example. The ‘English’ melody was composed by W.J. Kirkpatrick.
Andrew Mackereth made a touching arrangement of the ‘English’ melody, which suits the tender lyrics perfectly.

In Engelstalige landen is ‘Away in a Manger’ een van de eerste kerstliedjes dat de kinderen geleerd wordt. Het is een gevoelig lied met een eenvoudige en daarom aansprekende tekst.

Het lied staat ook wel bekend als ‘Luther’sCradle Hymn’. Dit suggereert dat Martin Luther de schrijver van de tekst is. Volgens onderzoekers is dit een misvatting en is de auteur onbekend.
In Engeland wordt ‘Away in a Manger’ op een andere melodie gezongen danin bijv. in de USA. De ‘Engelse’ melodie is gecomponeerd door W.J. Kirkpatrick.
Andrew Mackereth maakte een gevoelige bewerking van de ‘Engelse’ melodie, die prima aansluit bij de tedere tekst.

This beautiful work recreates the sound of a piano with the sustain pedal down. Slow moving harmonies seem to meld together as the lyrical lines soar. The plaintive sounds of the opening give way to a warm brass chorale. Eventually, the entire ensemble joins together in an emotional and glorious declaration. The music then begins to die away as various harmonies and textures weave into each other. Magical.

This powerful work pays tribute to the many battles fought between the Native Americans and Europeans (often referred to as The American Indian Wars). The music moves between Native American-influenced themes and western harmonies before moving into an amalgamation of the two. Incredible writing by a teenage composer!

Canadian composer Kenley Kristofferson was commissioned to write The Meeting Place, a work depicting the connection between people and the warmth and security of a shared space – in this case, the band room. The music celebrates these places which can feel like home, welcome all kinds of people, make them feel like a part of something bigger than themselves, and hold special power for us to feel safe and connected. With lush harmonies and song-like melodies, this ballad gives everyone in the band a chance to shine and contribute to a shared story about, for some of them, one of their most cherished spaces. Performers and audiences alike are sure to love this piece. Moving music!

David Marlatt's The Three Rings captures the spirit of a traditional circus with several acts represented by stereotypical forms of music such as a waltz and march as well as some more modern and contemporary harmonies and rhythms. Each act is interrupted by another which simulates the audience moving their attention from one ring to another. Sections include: The Greatest Show on Earth!, The Trapeze Artists, The Acrobats, The Clowns, The Magic Box, and The Magician. (6:00).

A reflective middle section features solo trumpet and a moving woodwind theme, and the finale is breathtaking.

This innovative work uses optional audience participation to create the sound of a massive stampede moving through the concert hall. Beginning with simple harmonies to depict life on the open range, a distant bass drum roll indicates the beginning of the stampede. Members of the band (and audience) soon join in as the music continues to build. An aleatoric section with temple blocks simulates the sounds of racing horse hooves. Incredibly exciting with a multitude of original sounds!

All the While was inspired by a very special person in Tyler Arcari's life. Director's will be happy to find many opportunities for emotional and passionate playing with plenty of fun in the middle for young bands.  All the While gives students a number of chances to work on expressive playing during the beginning and ending sections, and offers a light rhythmic middle section for contrast.
Program Notes:All the While is a bit of a personal piece for me. I was inspired to write it by a very special person in my life. It might be a young-band piece but I feel that it has the capacity for great emotion and passionate playing as well as a little fun in the middle. Sometimes it is difficult to tell people how you feel, even if you have known them for a long time. I think sometimes we say in our heads that “I have felt this way for a long time,” and all the while never being able to put it to words.About the work:The piece opens with a flute and alto saxophone duet. This melody trades off at m. 10 with the addition of new voices and harmonies building in intensity all the way to m. 28. I personally like to use extended phrases in this section, though it looks like it would just utilize four-measure phrases. I feel this adds to the momentum building in dynamic intensity. Measure 28 is a subito change beginning with a prominent Timpani solo. The following section should be played as lightly as possible to avoid a lumbering feel. In mm. 68- 70, the agogic accents should not be very heavy, but more pointed in their momentum to m. 70.Measures 70–76 should be taken with metric liberty bringing out all of the moving parts in the low brass. The low brass really adds the foundation of momentum for the rest of the band here. Measure 76 to the end, though a repetition of material from the beginning, should be played as the high point of the piece and familiar conclusion.

Commissioned to honor a beloved teacher who had passed away, this eloquent piece both begins and ends with warm and moving chorale sections. The contrasting allegro con brio theme is full of energy and vitality. While this piece is not very difficult, it features close contemporary harmonies and it provides ample opportunities for expressive playing especially in the woodwinds. Includes lots of tasteful percussion parts to keep your drummers involved. A wonderful composition that will pay big musical dividends and it is a wonderful choice for contest or concert performances. VERY VERY NICE!

Perfect for your next concert or contest performance, Code of Honor will inspire feelings of courage and adventure. A robust opening flows naturally into the main theme proposed by the trumpets, accompanied by the dauntless snare drummer. Uplifting harmonies add to the already spirited mood. Things calm down a bit during a moving but dignified lyrical section. We are soon propelled once again into action by the snare drum and our heroic theme carries us to a rousing conclusion.
