In a Quiet Way was composed during the early winter of 2014 for my friend, colleague and former tuba student Stephanie Frye, who premiered it in March, 2015. In a Quiet Way is a short, lyrical work that showcases the beautiful, singing capabilities of the tuba in the hands of a fine musician. The work is intended to serve as a quiet interlude, finale or encore in a program of perhaps more complex, technically oriented works. It could also stand alone when a simple work of a calm nature is suitable for a particular event.
The thematic material for this piece is developed from a melodic fragment in a choral work that I composed in 2011. I always felt that this melody, which played an incidental role in the earlier work, eventually deserved to play a primary role in a piece like this one. The title of the work is certainly meant to convey the nature of the piece, but it is also an homage to one of my favorite jazz recordings from early in my career; Miles Davis's In a Silent Way.
Although I have certainly composed a great deal of complex and energetic music, there is nothing I enjoy more than writing a simple, beautiful melody. I hope you enjoy this one.

British composer Philip Sparke was asked to write this arrangement of Hymn to Frei for the Norwegian Brass Band Frei Hornmusikk . Sparke had already used part of this hymn by a composer well-known in the home region of the band in The Saga of Haakon the Good. In A Norwegian Hymn, three verses of the tune can be heard: the first is performed by various soloists, followed by a quieter second verse, before the third verse brings the piece to a triumphal close. A beautiful piece, which is also excellent to use to work on musicality with bands in lower divisions.

Philip Sparke arrangeerde Hymne to Frei voor de Noorse Brass Band Frei Hornmusikk. In A Norwegian Hymn zijn ook drie verzen uit zijn eerdere werk The Saga of Haakon the Good te horen. De eerste wordt uitgevoerd door diverse solisten, gevolgd door een rustiger tweede couplet. Het derde deel brengt het werk naar een triomfantelijk einde. Een mooi werk waarmee u uitstekend kunt werken aan de muzikaliteit van orkesten in de lagere divisies.

Concert Band/Harmonie - Grade 6

SKU: BT.GOB-000590-140

Composed by Rob Goorhuis. Score Only. 82 pages. Gobelin Music Publications #GOB 000590-140. Published by Gobelin Music Publications (BT.GOB-000590-140).

Rob Goorhuis wrote his Variations on a Pentatonic Theme (1987) for the Royal Wind band of Thorn, conductor Jan Cober.
The work consists of five character variations on a pentatonic (five-tone) theme. The basic elements of the theme are the descending minor third and the descending major second, which in the course of the composition build up to a broad melody, unfolding itself in the final variation.
The first variation resembles minimal music in its repetitive rhythmic motives.
The second variation is explosive in character: rapid broken chords provide a background for soft solo motifs.
The third variation is a quiet intermezzo on a slow chorale theme, creatingtwo contrasting moods.
The fourth variation is a light-hearted scherzo.
The final variation is a brilliant finale with all the necessary ingredients, or, in the composer's words, the works

Testpiece WMC 2005 Concert Division.

Zijn Variations on a Pentatonic Theme componeerde Rob Goorhuis in 1987 voor de Koninklijke Harmonie van Thorn o.l.v. Jan Cober.
Het werk is opgebouwd uit vijf karaktervariaties op een pentatonisch (vijftonig) thema. Basiselementenvan het thema zijn de dalende kleine terts en de dalend secunde, die in de loop van de compositie leiden tot het ontstaan van een brede melodie, die in de laatste variatie tot klinken komt.
De eerste variatie doet denkeneen minimal music vanwege haar repeterende ritmische motieven.
De tweede variatie heeft een explosief karakter. snelle akkoordbrekingen vormen de achtergrond voor zachte, solistische motieven.
De derde variatie is een rustigmiddendeel met een langzaam koraalthema. er worden twee contrasterende sferen opgeroepen.
De vierde variatie is een luchtig scherzo.
De slotvariatie is een virtuoze finale met, volgens de componist, alles erop en eraan.

This full, yet gentle setting of the beloved Christmas hymn is perfect for a candlelight service or quiet concert closer. The low, rocking chords of the background choral parts are the same for all three stanzas. Interest is built by the addition of a second-stanza solo and third-stanza descants. Experiment with assigning the descants to instruments, or with supporting or replacing the lower voices with organ.
