In 1942 five students and one professor at the University of Munich formed a clandestine resistance movement known as ?The White Rose.? Over the span of nine months The White Rose published and widely distributed six anti-Nazi leaflets calling on the German people to awaken their senses and resist. All members of The White Rose were caught and swiftly executed in 1943 but they remain iconic and cherished figures in Germany today. This Elegy is a reflection of their courage.

Par SPARKE PHILIP. Flying the Breeze opens with three repeated B's (representing the initials of the Breeze Brass Band from Japan who commissioned this work). A short introduction leads to a robust theme from the baritones and euphoniums which is taken up by cornets and trombones. A restless bridge passage leads to a syncopated tune from the solo cornet and then to a third theme from a solo trombone. A graceful second subject leads back to a recall of the introductory material before a full-scale recapitulation. An intense allargando leads to a full-band version of the second subject under a running cornet passage, which leads to a short coda. / Niveau : 5 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Brass Band

Avec The Four Seasons, Johan Nijs nous livre un tableau bucolique de la nature au fil des saisons. / Niveau : 2 / Pop and rock / Recueil / Brass Band
