Over a
period of four decades
Jimmy Webb (b. 1946) has
written hits for a number
of singers including Glen
Campbell, Art Garfunkel,
Frank Sinatra, Willie
Nelson, Johnny Cash and
Linda Ronstadt. His songs
are often epic in
character and include By
the Time I Get to
Phoenix; Up, Up and Away;
Didn’t We; Wichita
Lineman and Galveston.
MacArthur Park (1968) was
unlike anything that had
gone before it. Running
at over 7 minutes, it is
2 or 3 times the length
of most pop songs and has
an extended orchestral
interlude. Richard
Harris’ seminal
recording topped the
music charts in Europe,
while peaking at number
two on the U.S. charts.
Philip Sparke has made
this excellentarrangement
for concert band, which
is sure to become a
regular feature on your
concert programme.
MacArthur
Park van Jimmy Webb,
een nummer dat uitkwam in
1968, was niet te
vergelijken met alles wat
daarvoor was gemaakt. Met
een duur van meer dan
zeven minuten is deze
song twee of drie keer zo
lang als de meeste
popsongs,ook het
orkestraal tussenspel is
bijzonder. Richard
Harris’ originele
opname stond bovenaan in
de hitparades van Europa
en op nummer 2 in de
Verenigde Staten. Philip
Sparke schreef een
fantastisch arrangement
dat zowel uw
muzikantenals uw publiek
zal
aanspreken.
Jimmy
Webbs Musik kennt jeder:
sei es als Musik zur
Fernsehserie Emergency
Room oder als einen
der Hits von großen
Stars wie Frank Sinatra,
Johnny Cash, Linda
Ronstadt und vielen
anderen. Mit dem Popsong
MacArthur Park
gelang Webb ein Riesenhit
im Jahr 1968. Das Lied
über eine verlorene
Liebe ist ungewöhnlich
lang für einen Popsong
und enthält ein
ausgearbeitetes
Orchester-Zwischenspiel.
Grund genug für Philip
Sparke, diesen Hit für
Blasorchester zu
bearbeiten.
Pe
r oltre quarant’
anni, Jimmy Webb (1946)
ha composto canzoni di
successo per artisti come
Glen Campbell, Art
Garfunkel, Frank Sinatra,
Willie Nelson, Johnny
Cash e Linda Ronstadt.
Nel 1968, scrive
MacArthur Park,
una canzone totalmente
innovativa. Di una durata
di oltre sette minuti,
è da due a tre volte
più lunga della
maggior parte dei
successi pop e contiene
un interludio
orchestrale. La versione
d’antologia di
MacArthur Park,
interpretata ed incisa da
Richard Harris, è
stata in testa alle
hit-parade europee e
seconda negli Stati

Roya
l Coronation Dances is
the first sequel to the
Fanfare Ode & Festival,
both being settings of
dance music originally
arranged by Gervaise in
the mid 16th-century (the
next sequel is The
Renaissance Fair, which
uses music of Susato and
Praetorius). Fanfare Ode
& Festival has been
performed by many tens of
thousands of students,
both in high school and
junior high school. I
have heard that some of
them are amazed that the
music they are playing
was first played and
danced to over 400 years
ago. Some students tend
to think that music
started with Handel and
his Messiah to be
followed by Beethoven and
his Fifth Symphony, with
naught in between or
before of consequence.
Although Royal Coronation
Dances is derived from
the same source as
Fanfare Ode & Festival,
they are treated in
different ways. I
envisioned this new suite
programmatically -- hence
the descriptive movement
titles, which I imagined
to be various dances
actually used at some
long-ago coronation. The
first movement depicts
the guests, both noble
and common, flanked by
flag and banner bearers,
arriving at the palace to
view the majestic event.
They are festive, their
flags swirling the air,
their cloaks brightly
colored. In the second
movement, the queen in
stately measure moves to
take her place on the
throne as leader and
protector of the realm.
In the third movement,
the jesters of the court
entertain the guests with
wild games of sport.
Musically, there are
interesting sonorities to
recreate. Very special
attention should be given
to the tambourine/tenor
drum part in the first
movement. Their lively
rhythms give the movement
its power. Therefore they
should be played as
distinctly and
brilliantly as possible.
The xylophone and
glockenspiel add clarity,
but must not be allowed
to dominate. Observe
especially the differing
dynamics; the intent is
to allow much buzzing
bass to penetrate. The
small drum (starting at
meas. 29) should be
played expressively, with
attention to the notated
articulations, with the
brass light and detached,
especially in a lively
auditorium. It is of some
further interest that the
first dance is extremely
modal. The original is
clearly in G mixolydian
mode (scale:
G-A-B-C-D-E-F-G).
However, other editors
might put in F-sharps in
many places (changing the
piece almost to G major),
in the belief that such
ficta would have been
automatically put in by
the 16th-century
performers as they
played. I doubt it. I
have not only eschewed
these within the work,
but even at the cadences.
So this arrangement is
most distinctly modal
(listen to the F-naturals
in meas. 22 and 23, for
instance), with all the
part-writing as Gervaise
wrote it. In the second
movement, be careful that
things do not become too
glued together. In the
16th century this music
might have been played by
a consort of recorders,
instruments very light of
touch and sensitive to
articulation. Concert
band can easily sound
heavy, and although this
movement has been scored
for tutti band, it must
not sound it. It is
essential, therefore,
that you hear all the
instruments, with none
predominating. Only when
each timbre can be heard
separately and
simultaneously will the
best blend occur, and
consequently the greatest
transparency. So aim for
a transparent, spacious
tutti sound in this
movement. Especially have
the flutes, who do this
so well, articulate
rather sharply, so as to
produce a chiffing sound,
and do not allow the
quarter-notes to become
too tied together in the
entire band. The entrance
of the drums (first
tenor, then bass) are
events and as such should
be audible. Incidentally,
this movement begins in F
Major and ends in D
Minor: They really didn't
care so much about those
things then. The third
movement (one friend has
remarked that it is the
most Margolisian of the
bunch, but actually I am
just getting subtler, I
hope) again relies upon
the percussion (and the
scoring) to make its
points. Xylophone in this
movement is meant to be
distinctly audible.
Therefore, be especially
sure that the xylophone
player is secure in the
part, and also that the
tambourine and toms sound
good. This movement must
fly or it will sink, so
rev up the band and
conduct it in 1 for this
mixolydian jesting. I
suppose the wildly
unrelated keys (clarinets
and then brass at the
end) would be a good
16th-century joke, but to
us, our
put-up-the-chorus-a-half-
step ears readily accept
such shenanigans.

While
composing Serenata, Jan
Van der Roost didn't
focus too much on
virtuosity, acrobatics or
spectacle. Instead, he
wanted to let the solo
instrument shine as a
melodic and expressive
voice. And indeed: the
warm sound of the
euphonium touches the
heart of the audience
straight away in the
first section with a
melodious theme. Then
follows a rigaudon, a
noble and elegant dance
from the Renaissance era.
Despite the fact that
some of the variations on
the main theme require
some technique and
agility, the overall
character mostly remains
songful. The composition
as a whole builds further
on these two musical
ingredients, but thanks
to a clever alternation
of melodic and technical
passages, it offers a
nice stylistic diversity
to the listeners. The
band is definitely not
'just accompanying' but
fully participates and
begins a dialogue with
the soloist: both musical
partners have their say.
The end is more
spectacular and sonorous,
giving an extra boost of
energy to the soloist as
well as the band in a
grand finale!

Stories, sagas
and legends--who among us
doesn't know them? Always
delivered with a tinge of
brutality, these
cautionary tales are a
legacy of moral education
from times past:
inquisitive children
alone in the forest are
generally eaten by a
witch; the
“Soup-Kasperâ€
of Hoffmann's
Struwwelpeter dies from
starvation rather than
eating his soup; anyone
letting in strangers
usually gets devoured;
anyone who plays with
matches gets burned; and
thumb-suckers get their
thumbs cut off. The list
of unfortunate demises is
almost endless.In the
tale of The Pied Piper of
Hamelin, parents lose
their children through
greed, ridicule, scorn
and a failure to
appreciate art. There is
still a street in the
town of Hamelin in which
neither drumming nor
playing has not been
allowed since 130
children disappeared into
a mountain, never to be
seen again. This
composition by Otto M.
Schwarz opens with
exactly this scene,
taking us back to the
year 1284. As in many
towns at the time,
Hamelin in Germany
suffered with hygiene
problems--rats and mice
began to multiply
rapidly, and the town was
overrun with the plague.
There appeared a man
dressed in colorful
clothes who promised the
locals to free them from
this burden. They agreed
and settled on a fee.
Then the man pulled out a
pipe and began to play.
When the rats and mice
heard this, they followed
him. He led the animals
into the Weser River,
where they all drowned.
Back in town, the people
refused to pay him. They
didn't recognize this
man's skills and
knowledge and were only
prepared to pay for
simple labour. A pact
with the devil was made,
which led to the Pied
Piper leaving the town in
a furious rage. One
Sunday, when many people
were at church, he
returned, took out his
flute and began to play.
The town's children were
so enchanted by his
playing that they
followed him. He led them
out of the town and
disappeared with them
forever into a mountain.
Of all the children, only
two survived--however one
was mute, and one was
blind. In the street from
which the children left
Hamelin, music may no
longer be played in
memory of this event.

While
composing Serenata, Jan
Van der Roost didn't
focus too much on
virtuosity, acrobatics or
spectacle. Instead, he
wanted to let the solo
instrument shine as a
melodic and expressive
voice. And indeed: the
warm sound of the
euphonium touches the
heart of the audience
straight away in the
first section with a
melodious theme. Then
follows a rigaudon, a
noble and elegant dance
from the Renaissance era.
Despite the fact that
some of the variations on
the main theme require
some technique and
agility, the overall
character mostly remains
songful. The composition
as a whole builds further
on these two musical
ingredients, but thanks
to a clever alternation
of melodic and technical
passages, it offers a
nice stylistic diversity
to the listeners. The
band is definitely not
'just accompanying' but
fully participates and
begins a dialogue with
the soloist: both musical
partners have their say.
The end is more
spectacular and sonorous,
giving an extra boost of
energy to the soloist as
well as the band in a
grand finale!
