Brass Band - Grade 1.5

SKU: BT.GOB-000726-030

Composed by Bruce Fraser. Set (Score & Parts). Gobelin Music Publications #GOB 000726-030. Published by Gobelin Music Publications (BT.GOB-000726-030).

Durkle Bandrydge is the name of the composers imaginary world, but it could very well be anyones invisible dream world with a different name. In this very versatile suite by Bruce Fraser, 8 characters are featured, each with its ownpeculiarities, making Durkle Bandrydge such a colourful place. Do these characters differ that much from us? That is for you to find out! In the last part, all characters come together in a special way.

Durkle Bandrydge exists at the end ofyour street. It is invisible to humans, but Durkle Bandrygators can watch us with great interest.
The music will introduce you to some of the characters who live in this unusual place.

The parts:
Somnanbulyss, who is a giant trollguarding the entrance to Durkle Bandryde. At least, he is supposed to, but he tends to sleep most of the time. His music is therefore very slow moving and sleepy.

Long Gwysteen is a tall, mysterious, and somehow sophisticated character,who walls around with a shell on his back. His music glides along rather gracefully.

Squelfitch is a rather unpleasant and smelly character who lives in a bog, which is why his music sounds rather slimy and a bit like trying to walkthrough quicksand.

Perfydlia is a meddling old woman, who gossips about everybody and squeals with sudden delight at the small exciting bits of tittletattle about others in the village. In the music you can hear her sudden little squealsof delight.

Maryann Lovely is a beautiful young lady, graceful, gorgeous, absolutely devine, and her music is obviously just the same.

Thistledoo Nicely is a lively character who spends and spends and spends with her credit card,buying the latest fashion and never worries about having to pay the bills. Her music reflects her excitement when shopping and het ‘happy go lucky’ approach to life.

Marsyn Edginton is the Lord of the manor, the richest man in town, the‘big cheese’, the man with all the power and, of course, the biggest house. He is very grand and his music like he could be a king.

Jimmy McScotsmyn is a red haired scotsman wearing tartan cap. He misses his home country terribly and eatslots of shortbread, oatcakes, scotch eggs, porridge and drinks an enormous amount of Scotch Wisky, which helps him to have fond memories of the kind of music he would like to dance to when he was a younger man. His favourite dance is a Jig andthis is the music he remembers.

Grand March of the Durkle Bandrydgators. We hope that you have enjoyed meeting these characters from Drukle Bandrydge and would invite you to listen to all the villagers now march along in a grand parade -it is a pity that you can not see them, what is a wonderful sight.
If you listen carefully, you will hear the melodies which belong to the characters as they march past.
Oh what a grand spectacle!

Durkle Bandrydge is de schijnwereld van de componist maar eigenlijk de onzichtbare droomwereld in elk van ons en die wereld zou elke naam kunnen dragen.
In de bijzonder kleurrijke suite van Bruce Fraser komen 8 personages (karakters)naar voren ieder met hun eigenaardigheden die van Durkle Bandrydge zo'n kleurrijke wereld maken.
Verschillen die personages nu zo erg van ons? Aan u het oordeel! Het laaste deel brengt alle personages op een wonderbaarlijkewijze samen.
In de score zijn de karakters uitgebreid en nader omschreven.

Performance note: Elk deel heeft een aantal leerinhouden die de moeite waard zijn om uit te lichten. Articulatie, dynamiek, stijlen, zuiverheid,balans, tempo en maatsoorten - het komt allemaal voorbij.

Tip: Maak de personages zichtbaar in een compleet theatergebeuren. Gebruik een spreekstem!

Brass Band - Grade 3

SKU: BT.AMP-230-030

Composed by Philip Sparke. Anglo Music Midway Series. Concert Piece. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 2008. Anglo Music Press #AMP 230-030. Published by Anglo Music Press (BT.AMP-230-030).

9x12 inches. English-German.

Saying Goodbye is one of a series of original works in pop, rock and swing styles Philip Sparke has composed to try and give brass bands their own popular vocabulary and identity. It could be described as happy-sad in mood, a feature of much of Sparke’s slower music. A perfect light addition for your concert.

A Stroll in the Park is een werk in de traditie van ‘lopende’ muziek (zoals Promenade uit Moessorgski’s Schilderijententoonstelli ng of Walking the Dog uit Gershwin’s Shall we Dance?). Het beschrijft de genoegensvan een ontspannen wandeling in een stadspark op een zomerse zondagmiddag. De Engelse uitdrukking ‘a walk in the park’ of ‘a stroll in the park’ kan de betekenis hebben van ‘iets betrekkelijk eenvoudigs’ - en daarin ligt een duidelijkeaanwijzing over de manier waarop dit werk gespeeld moet worden: ontspannen, zorgeloos en relaxed.

Saying Goodbye ist ein Stück aus einer Reihe von Originalwerken in Pop-, Rock- und Swingstilen, die Philip Sparke komponierte, um Brass Bands mit einer eigenen populären Sprache und Identität auszustatten. Die Stimmung lässt sich als fröhlich-traurig beschreiben, ein Merkmal, das in Sparkes langsamerer Musik oft zu finden ist. Ein originelles neues Werk, das in Ihrem unterhaltsamen Repertoire nicht fehlen sollte!

A Stroll in the Park (“Fl nerie dans le parc”) s’inscrit dans la lignée des fl neries musicales telles que la Promenade extraite des Tableaux d’une Exposition de Moussorgski ou encore Walking the Dog extrait de Shall we Dance? de George Gershwin. La musique décrit les plaisirs et les vertus d’une promenade improvisée dans un parc un dimanche après-midi au cœur de l’été.Promen ade ou fl nerie ? Peu importe le terme choisi, pourvu que le style d’interprétatio n soit décontracté, insouciant et léger.
