Which instrument renders a better representation of the unfortunate attempt of the young Icarus to fly beneath the sun? The composer Pascal Proust has many years’ experience as a musician and music teacher. His output includes several hundredcompositions for the most diverse instrumentations.

Der Komponist Pascal Proust kann aus seiner langjährigen Erfahrung als Musiker und Musikpädagoge schöpfen; sein Oeuvre umfasstmehrere hundert Kompositionen für verschiedenste Besetzungen. Er schrieb Icare für Oboisten mit ungefähr 3 4 Jahren Unterrichtserfahrung und legte besonderes Augenmerk auf einen leicht verständlichen, attraktiven musikalischen Stil. Dadurcheignet sich Icare ideal als Vortrags- und Wettbewerbsstück für junge Musiker.

Quel instrument chanterait mieux les malheureuses tentatives du jeune Icare pour voler sous le soleil ? Le compositeur Pascal Proust puise volonté dans son immense expérience de musicien et professeur de musique ; son catalogue d’oeuvres englobeplusieurs centaines de compositions pour divers instruments.

Trumpet (also flugelhorn) - difficult

SKU: HL.49019617

Composed by Herbert Willi. This edition: Saddle stitching. Sheet music. Brass Solo. Softcover. Composed 2011. 12 pages. Duration 6'. Schott Music #TR28. Published by Schott Music (HL.49019617).

This piece was written in the wake of the trumpet concerto 'Eirene'. Both pieces were composed by Willi for the trumpeter Reinhold Friedrich who raves about the concerto: 'There is an inexplicable magic in this magnificent light/space work which gives both the audience and the musicians great inner pleasure.'This magic, however, is created by ascetic rather than romantic and lavish means. Willi composed a series of brief musical actions, tone repetitions and short flitting snatches of melody. Wind players who are familiar with all kinds of playing techniques are given much room for their own artistic interpretation.

My third quartet is laid out in a three-movement structure, with each movement based on an early, middle, and late work of the great American impressionist painter Mary Cassatt. Although the movements are separate, with full-stop endings, the music is connected by a common scale-form, derived from the name MARY CASSATT, and by a recurring theme that introduces all three movements. I see this theme as Mary's Theme, a personality that stays intact while undergoing gradual change.   I The Bacchante (1876) [Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania]   The painting shows a young girl of Italian or Spanish origin, playing a small pair of cymbals. Since Cassatt was trying very hard to fit in at the French Academy at the time, she painted a lot of these subjects, which were considered typical and universal. The style of the painting doesn't yet show Cassatt's originality, except perhaps for certain details in the face. Accordingly the music for this movement is Spanish/Italian, in a similar period-style but using the musical signature described above. The music begins with Mary's Theme, ruminative and slow, then abruptly changes to an alla Spagnola-type fast 3/4 - 6/8 meter. It evokes the Spanish-influenced music of Ravel and Falla.   Midway through, there's an accompanied recitative for the viola, which figures large in this particular movement, then back to a truncated recapitulation of the fast music. The overall feeling is of a well-made, rather conventional movement in a contemporary Spanish/Italian style. Cassatt's painting, too, is rather conventional.   II At the Opera (1880) [Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Massachusetts]   This painting is one of Cassatt's most well known works, and it hangs in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. The painting shows a woman alone in a box at the opera house, completely dressed (including gloves) and looking through opera glasses at someone or something that is NOT on the stage. Across the auditorium from her, but exactly at eye level, is a gentleman with opera glasses intently watching her - though it is not him that she's looking at. It's an intriguing picture.   This movement is far less conventional than the first movement, as the painting is far less conventional. The music begins with a rapid, Shostakovich-type mini-overture lasting less than a minute, based on Mary's Theme. My conjecture is that the woman in the painting has arrived late to the opera, busily stumbling into her box. What happens next is a kind of collage, a kind of surrealistic overlaying of two different elements: the foreground music, at first is a direct quotation of Soldier's Chorus from Gounod's FAUST (an opera Cassatt would certainly have heard in the brand-new Paris Opera House at that time), played by Violin II, Viola, and Cello. This music is played sul ponticello in the melody and col legno in the marching accompaniment. On top of this, the first violin hovers at first on a high harmonic, then descends into a slow melody, completely separate from the Gounod. It's as if the woman in the painting is hearing the opera onstage but is not really interested in it. Then the cello joins the first violin in a kind of love-duet (just the two of them, at first). This music isn't at all Gounod-derived; it's entirely from the same scale patterns as the first movement and derives from Mary's Theme and its scale. The music stays in a kind of dichotomy feeling, usually three-against-one, until the end of the movement, when another Gounod melody, Valentin's aria Avant de quitter ce lieux reappears in a kind of coda for all four players. It ends atmospherically and emotionally disconnected, however. The overall feeling is a kind of schizophrenic, opera-inspired dream.   III Young Woman in Green, Outdoors in the Sun (1909) [Worcester Art Museum, Massachusetts]   The painting, one of Cassatt's last, is very simple: just a figure, looking sideways out of the picture. The colors are pastel and yet bold - and the woman is likewise very self-assured and not in the least demure. It is eight minutes long, and is all about melody - three melodies, to be exact (Young Woman, Green, and Sunlight). No angst, no choppy rhythms, just ever-unfolding melody and lush harmonies. I quote one other French composer here, too: Debussy's song Green, from Ariettes Oubliees. 1909 would have been Debussy's heyday in Paris, and it makes perfect sense musically as well as visually to do this.   Mary Cassatt lived her last several years in near-total blindness, and as she lost visual acuity, her work became less sharply defined - something akin to late water lilies of Monet, who suffered similar vision loss. My idea of making this movement entirely melodic was compounded by having each of the three melodies appear twice, once in a pure form, and the second time in a more diffuse setting. This makes an interesting two ways form: A-B-C-A1-B1-C1.   String Quartet No.3 (Cassatt) is dedicated, with great affection and respect, to the Cassatt String Quartet, whose members have dedicated themselves in large measure to the furthering of the contemporary repertoire for quartet.

Latin ABC is a suite in three movements inspired by the music of the Caribbean. The first movement is a joyful Curaçaon waltz, the second movement a sensual, slow salsa: a style that is popular on the island of Bonaire. Finally, Latin ABC culminates with a rousing march that brings the listener to sunny Aruba. This work is suitable for Grade 3 players, and showcases the percussion section in particular.

Vrolijk, sensueel en opzwepend… Wat wilt u nog meer? Dit nieuwe driedelige werk van Peter Kleine Schaars heeft het namelijk allemaal in zich! Het eerste deel is een vrolijke Curaçaose wals. Hierin klinken tegelijkertijd een 3/4-thema en een 6/8-thema. Deel twee is de op het eiland Bonaire zeer populaire en sensuele, langzame salsa. Ten slotte is er een opzwepende road march waarbij de luisteraar zich direct op het zonnige Aruba waant. En dat allemaal doorspekt met slagwerk. Latin ABC: feestelijk en zomers!

Zu Latin ABC ließ sich Peter Kleine Schaars von karibischen Klängen inspirieren: Der erste Satz ist ein fröhlicher Walzer im Curaçao-Feeling, der zweite Satz ein sinnlicher, langsamer Salsa. Seinen Höhepunkt erreicht das Stück mit einem mitreißenden Straßenmarsch, das den Zuhörer auf die Insel Aruba entführt. Dies alles findet im Rahmen einer gut spielbaren Komposition im mittleren Schwierigkeitsgrad statt, in der das Schlagzeug eine wichtige Rolle spielt.

Peter Kleine Schaars s’est inspiré de l’ambiance musicale de trois îles des Antilles néerlandaises - Aruba, Bonaire et Curaçao - pour écrire cette suite en trois mouvements. Latin ABC s’ouvre par une valse allègre, où s’entrelacent un thème en 3/4 et un autre en 6/8. Le second mouvement apportera une touche traditionnelle avec une salsa lente et sensuelle. La pièce culmine avec une marche entraînante qui emmène l’auditeur au soleil d’Aruba. Le tout se déroule dans les limites d’une composition de niveau 3 où les percussions jouent un rôle important.

Per scrivere questa suite in tre movimenti, Peter Kleine Schaars si è ispirato all’atmosfera magica di tre isole delle Antille olandesi, Aruba, Bonaire e Curaçao. Latin ABC apre con un allegro valzer che intreccia sapientemente un tema in 3/4 e uno in 6/8. Il secondo movimento apporta un tocco tradizionale con una salsa lenta e sensuale. Il brano prosegue con una marcia coinvolgente che accompagna il pubblico al sole di Aruba. Un brano che regala un ruolo importante alle percussioni.

Marchissimo will make a fantastic opening piece for any concert. It does however come with a twist! It can be played simply as written, but is really designed to be â??stagedâ?? with players coming on the concert platform one by one as they begin to play. The piece actually consists of three marches in one, each of which highlights a section of the band. The piece culminates in a final climax where all three march themes are played simultaneously.

Marchissimo is een fantastisch openingsstuk voor elk concert, maar er zit wel een bijzondere wending aan! Het kan gewoon worden gespeeld zoals genoteerd, maar het is eigenlijk zo gecomponeerd dat muzikanten een voor een het podiumop kunnen komen voor ze beginnen te spelen. Het gaat hier in feite om drie marsen in één, waarbij steeds een deel van het orkest aan bod komt. Het stuk leidt naar een climax waarin alledrie de themaâ??s tegelijkertijd worden gespeld.

Marchi ssimo wurde als Eröffnung eines Konzerts geschrieben, da es einem Spieler nach dem Anderen Gelegenheit gibt, auf die Bühne zu treten. Im ersten Satz treten erst die Schlaginstrumente, zusammen mit Pikkoloflöte, Bassklarinette, Euphonium und Tuba auf. Im zweiten Satz kommen Posaune, Flöte, Klarinette und schlie�lich Saxophon hinzu. Im dritten Satz komplettieren die Hörner das Blasorchester, welches im fulminanten Schluss die Themen aller drei Sätze noch einmal aufnimmt. Mit Marchissimo ist ein wirkungsvoller Auftritt garantiert!

Marchi ssimo est un condensé de trois marches qui offre deux possibilités dâ??interprétation. Elle peut être jouée telle quâ??elle est écrite, ou se développer selon un jeu scénique bien structuré où les musiciens entrent en scène au moment de leur première intervention dans la pièce. Chaque groupe expose alors un des trois thèmes principaux. Lorsque la formation est au complet, un court passage constitué de fragments des trois lignes mélodiques surgit travers lâ??ensemble de la formation avant dâ??aborder le tutti final, ultime retour des trois thèmes exposés simultanément.
