A Quiet Moment was written in memory of James Philip Krofta, a highly respected American conductor who died in the year 2006. This calm, willful composition of Philip Sparke is equally at home on the concert platform as in thecontest arena or at significant remembrance events when a quiet moment is required. Dur: 4:30

A Quiet Moment is geschreven ter herinnering aan de Amerikaanse dirigent James Phillip Krofta (1953-2006), in opdracht van zijn familie, die hiermee zijn grote liefde voor de muziek en het lesgeven recht wil doen. Deze mooiecompositie leent zich uitstekend voor plechtige gelegenheden (eventueel ter nagedachtenis aan een geliefde persoon), maar kan ook heel goed dienen als aangenaam rustpunt in een concert.

A Quiet Moment wurde im Gedenken an James Philip Krofta, eines engagierten amerikanischen Dirigenten, der im Jahre 2006 verstorben ist, geschrieben. Kroftas Familie gab die Komposition als Anerkennung seiner Liebe zur Musik und seiner Hingabe zum Lehrerberuf in Auftrag. Die ruhige, würdevolle Komposition von Philip Sparke eignet sich wunderbar für Anlässe zu Ehren oder zum Gedenken an wichtige Personen oder Ereignisse - oder als besinnlicher Ruhepunkt in Ihrem Konzertprogramm.

< I>A Quiet Moment nous invite entrer dans un temps méditatif ou contemplatif. Les images et les pensées suscitées par chant nostalgique sont autant de voyages mélancoliques où les paysages décrivent des instants de vie et d’amour.

In That Quiet Moment was written in memory of the composer's father. Grant Michel's heart-wrenching piece of reflection and sadness from the loss of a parent is rendered more poignant since the untimely passing of the composer himself. It is a wonderful piece to teach students emotional involvement in music and musicianship.

By Brian Balmages. FJH Starter Series. Very few compositions offer the opportunity to truly work on musical expression without the technical demands often placed on students. I am often disappointed by the number of directors who avoid lyrical works because their students "can't play that kind of music without sounding bad . . " As a result, I have written a short lyrical piece that uses only six notes in all instruments and is of moderate length for young musicians. It is my sincere hope that this work will open the door that many ensembles have hesitated to pass through. This piece is the second of three included in Midnight Suite. Score for this title: B1321S.

Mercury Rising was commissioned by sinfonisches blasorchester wehdel and its conductor Thomas Ratzek, to celebrate their 50th anniversary in 2018. They premiered this piece in their half-century concert on 2nd November 2018 in the Bremerhaven Stadttheater in Germany. Designed as a virtuosic and lively opener, Mercury Rising opens with nervous energy and driving, syncopated rhythms in a blaze of colour. The horns and saxophones then introduce a broad melody, which the trumpets subsequently take up after a change of tonality. A quieter moment introduces a distant fanfare on muted horns over bubbling semiquavers in the low clarinets. This is interrupted by a passionate tenor melody but soon returns on the full brass section, accompanied by echoes of the opening woodwind figuration, and is extended to bring the piece to a triumphant close.

On a Sunday afternoon in May of 2011 tornados devastated the city of Joplin, Missouri. In Perfect Silence, I Often Gaze at the New Stars is intended as a musical tribute to those who lost their lives that day and to those heroes who gave everything they could to help others. The music is a beautiful blending of sounds and moods, and carries with it a full range of emotions from reflective quiet moments to the massive outpouring from the entire ensemble. An evocative and moving work for band that will resonate with both performers and listeners. Dur: 3:50.

Twee keer vindt in dit contrastrijke werk een opbouw plaats van rustige spanning of meditatieve rust tot een hoogtepunt voor het complete orkest, waarna het hoofdgedeelte, een ritmisch vivo, zich ontvouwt. Tot aan het feestelijke slot zorgt GoldenWinds voor gouden muzikale momenten tijdens uw eerstvolgende concert!

Zweimal baut sich dieses kontrastreiche Werk von leiser Spannung oder meditativer Ruhe zu einem Höhepunkt für das gesamte Orchester auf, bevor der Hauptteil, ein rhythmisches Vivo, einsetzt.

Golden Winds s’ouvre sur un thème nerveux et énergique joué dans le registre grave des bois qui se développe en canon et s’amplifie pour arriver un climax avec l’orchestre entier. L’ambiance s’apaise pour introduire un passage contemplatifqui met en avant d’abord les clarinettes, puis un thème opulent en forme de choral qui se transforme en un tutti ardent. Les Vents Dorés s’achèvent par une conclusion festive.

Golden Winds inizia con un tema energico eseguito nel registro grave dei legni che poi si sviluppa in canone amplificandosi fino ad arrivare al culmine con l’intero organico. La musica diventa più calma per introdurre un passaggiocontemplativo che mette dapprima in luce le caratteristiche dei clarinetti, e in seguito un tema opulento in forma di corale che si trasforma in un ardente tutti. I “Venti Dorati” terminano con una nota festiva.

This quiet piece with its broad tones was originally written for brass band on request of Robert Leveugle, chairman of the composers own band: Brass Band Midden Brabant (Belgium). The direct cause was a visit to the beautiful cathedral of theEnglish city Canterbury, in which so many fine compositions sounded throughout the centuries. Later on, Jan Van der Roost rescored this piece for symphonic wind band, exploring the full richness of colours of this formation. Besides solo phrases forseveral instruments, there are some massive tutti passages making the wind orchestra sound like a majestic organ. By the way: an ad libitum organ part adds an extra richness, colour and power to this piece, making it sound even more broad andgrand.

Dieses ruhige Stück mit seinen breiten Tönen wurde ursprünglich für Brass Band geschrieben, im Auftrag von Robert Leveugle, dem Vorsitzenden der Brass Band, dem der Komponist angehört: die Brass Band Midden Brabant (Belgien). Später orchestrierte JanVan der Roost das Stück neu für Symphonisches Blasorchester, wobei er die reichhaltige Klangfarbenpalette dieser Formation voll ausnutzte. Neben Solo-Abschnitten für verschiedene Instrumente gibt es einige massive Tutti-Passagen, die dasBlasorchester wie ein riesiges Organ klingen lassen. Übrigens: Eine optionale Orgelstimme verleiht diesem Stück noch mehr Klangfülle, -farbe und Kraft, sodass es noch breiter und großartiger klingt.

Jan Van der Roost a composé Canterbury Choral la demande de Robert Leveugle, président du Brass Band Midden Brabant. Cette œuvre, empreinte de sérénité et de solennité, s’inspire de la beauté majestueuse de la célèbre cathédrale de la villede Canterbury, haut-lieu, de la culture musicale anglaise. Canterbury Choral alterne des passages en solo et des phrases en tutti. Les sonorités sont amples et rondes. Les courbes sont fluides, légères et brillantes. Les tutti, puissants etsoutenus, rappellent la richesse sonore et la générosité de l’orgue d’église.
Canterbury Choral est dédié Robert et Annie Leveugle.

Uno dei più bei pezzi lenti mai scritti. Ideale per un momento di tranquillit del vostro concerto.
