Based on
traditional Easter chants
Fantasia di Pasqua is a
tremendous work to
feature four of your
players in a religiously
inspired work. Often this
work is performed in
church concerts or
religious situations and,
as such, the composer
suggests that the quartet
may be utilised
performing from two
‘galleries’.
This creates a wonderful
double-choir effect that
befits the
Renaissance-like style of
such great composers as
Gabrieli. A truly
inspired work to bring a
touch of Renaissance
class to your
concerts.
In
Fantasia di Pasqua
speelt het (koper)kwartet
een cruciale rol. De
componist raadt aan dit
kwartet vanuit een
galerij te laten spelen:
de zo gecreëerde
dubbelkorigheid past bij
de enigszins
renaissancistische stijl
van hetwerk. De gebruikte
koraalmelodieën worden
alle - veelal dansrijk -
door het kwartet
uitgevoerd in diverse
cadansen, die mede door
de dubbelkorigheid
resulteren in een
levendige en afwisselende
uitvoering. Het kwartet
hoeft nietper se te
bestaan uit twee
trompetten (cornetten) en
twee trombones, maar kan
naar believen worden
samengesteld.
In
seiner Fantasia di
Pasqua verwendete
Michael Bilkes
traditionelle
Osterlieder. Ein Quartett
spielt hier eine
entscheidende Rolle. Dies
kann ein Blech- und/oder
Holzbläserquartett
sein, möglich ist auch
ein Posaunenchor (der
Komponist gibt hierzu
Tipps). In Kirchen kommt
die Fantasie besonders
schön zur Geltung,
wenn das Quartett von der
Empore herab spielt. Der
so kreierte
Doppelchor-Effekt passt
ausgezeichnet zum
Renaissance ähnlichen
Stil und verspricht eine
sehr lebhafte und
abwechslungsreiche
Aufführung.
Fantasia di
Pasqua, basata su melodie
tradizionali, utilizza un
quartetto, che riveste un
ruolo fondamentale nello
sviluppo del brano. Sono
possibili varie
combinazioni, come ad
esempio un quartetto di
ottoni e/o legni, come
anche un coro di
tromboni). Fantasia di
Pasqua è scritta in
uno stile simile alla
musica rinascimentale,
una scelta che si spiega
con il fatto che la
maggior parte delle
melodie corali datano di
questo periodo. Queste
melodie danzanti,
interpretate dal
quartetto, segnano la
trama del brano. La
bellezza del doppio coro
conferisce al brano un
carattere variegato e
divertente.

What do you get
when you combine a happy
Calypso feel, your mallet
percussionists, and a
favorite Christmas tune?
Jolly Ol’ St.
Stickolas, of course!
Starting off with a cool
Calypso groove, the
mallets soon play Up On
The Housetop with a light
accompaniment from the
rest of the band. A touch
of Pachebel’s
Canon in D is juxtaposed
over St. Nick, resulting
in a fun mallet feature
that’s fun for the
entire band. Don’t
miss this one!
