The Book of
Urizen is a work for
concert band, solo
soprano, and a male
narrator in which sound
collages of religious
expressions are used. The
piece is inspired by the
compelling visionary poem
of the same name (which
the poet
illustratedhimself) by
the Englishman William
Blake (1757-1827), who
occupies a unique
position in western
literature and the visual
arts. He was not just a
poet and a writer, but he
was also a graphic
artist, a painter, an
illustrator, a
spiritualist, areligious
visionary, and a mystic
philosopher. For the
performance of this work,
a professional sound
system, including two
microphones and a CD
player, is needed. The
three sound collages are
three separate tracks on
the enclosed CD and can
beplayed easily at the
right moment. The Book
of Urizen bears
resemblance to Genesis
and Exodus, of which the
contents form the basis
of the Christian, Jewish,
and Islamic faith. Blake
adhered to the principle
that all religions are in
fact one,and that deities
reside in human beings.
In The Book of
Urizen this is
represented in “The
Net of Religion,â€
which is spanned over the
earth by Urizen. The
sound collages, compiled
by Jacob de Haan in the
studio, find their origin
inJerusalem, the Holy
City, where the
afore-mentioned faiths
“come
together.†In the
first movement of
this composition, The
Vision, Urizen
prepares his vision of
the world, and he
presents this to the
“Eternals.â€
His vision is
rejected,and Urizen locks
himself up in his own
abstract world. When he
does emerge again, he is
confronted with rage by
the gathered Eternals.
Urizen flees the wrath of
the Eternals, “the
flames of eternal
fury,†and enwombs
himself in his own world.
Whenthe Eternals see
Urizen in his
“stony
sleep,†they wonder
if this is death. The
blacksmith Los is torn by
grief because of the
isolation of Urizen. It
brings him to rouse his
fires, prepare his forge,
and to give
Urizen’s world
concrete form. In
thesecond
movement, The
Creation,
Urizen’s world,
but also man, woman, and
child are created. Los is
horrified with the
appearance of
Urizen’s body. He
mourns and pities Urizen,
and from his blood a
female form comes into
being, with thename
Enitharmon. The Eternals,
fearful of the female
form, decide to erect a
tent to obstruct their
view to eternity.
Enitharmon and Los beget
a son, called Orc. Los
baptizes him as a child
of the “fallen
world.†Orc is fed
at Enitharmon’s
breast,which makes a
girdle of jealousy
restrict Los’
chest. He takes the child
to the top of the
mountain and chains him
down. The cries of Orc
awaken Urizen, who
explores his world
creating instruments of
scientific measurement to
do so. Los encircles
theface of Enitharmon
from the sight of Urizen
and Orc. She then
populates the earth by
giving birth to an
enormous race.The
Web, third movement
of The Book of
Urizen is now
available: DHP 1125252

Sinfonia
Hungarica is a
three-movement symphony
that depicts the history
of Hungary. All three
movements were inspired
by historical key
figures, wars, and other
important events from
this country. This
symphony is a celebration
of Hungary’s
millennium in 2001.The
final movement is named
after ISTVAN, the King
who introduced
Christianity into Hungary
and who was crowned by
Pope Silvestro II on
January 1, 1001. A rather
solemn start leads to
another war-like passage,
ending with some loud
crashes. This symbolizes
the fact that the body of
the pagan Koppany was cut
into four pieces, and
sent to the four castles
of the country as an
example. After a quiet,
almost
religiousintermezzo, the
National Hymn of Hungary
is introduced. This broad
“grandiosoâ€
ending also has a
symbolic meaning: after
ten centuries, Hungary
has many reasons to look
back on the past with
pride, and to look
forward to the future
with optimism and
confidence.
Die
Sinfonie in drei
Sätzen ist eine
musikalische Schilderung
der Geschichte Ungarns.
Alle drei Sätze haben
bedeutende historische
Persönlichkeiten und
Schlüsselereignisse
aus der Landesgeschichte
- wie etwa Kriege - zum
Inhalt. Das Werk wurde
zuUngarns
Tausendjahrfeier im Jahr
2001
geschrieben.Attila
, König der Hunnen,
oftmals auch die
Geißel Gottes genannt,
ist die zentrale Gestalt
des ersten Satzes; in
seiner musikalischen
Beschreibung sind
Aggressivität und
Grausamkeit, die vonihm
ausgehende Bedrohung und
ihm entgegengebrachte
Furcht spürbar.
Daneben erscheinen das
heroischer klingende
Thema von Buda,
Attilas Bruder, und das
lyrische von Rika,
seiner zärtlich
geliebten Frau. Der
aufpeitschende Schluss
desSatzes ist Sinnbild
für die gefürchtete
Schnelligkeit von Attilas
Truppen, mit der sie ihre
Opfer eingeholt und ohne
Ausnahme getötet
haben.Im Mittelpunkt des
zweiten Satzes steht
Arpad, der
eigentliche Begründer
des ungarischen Staates.
Eineatmosphärisch
klingende Einleitung
beschwört
Emese, die
Großmutter Arpads,
herauf, die im Traum
seine Bestimmung
vorhergesehen hatte. Er
schlug seinen Gegner, den
Prinzen Zalan von
Bulgarien, im Kampf in
die Flucht und gab dem
Land denNamen
Magyarorszag.Das Finale
ist nach Istvan
benannt, dem König,
der in Ungarn das
Christentum einführte
und am ersten Januar 1001
durch Papst Sylvester II.
gekrönt wurde. Ein
feierlicher Anfang leitet
über in einen an
Kriegsgetümmelerinnern
den Abschnitt, der in
lärmendem Getöse
endet. Es steht für
das Ende des Heiden
Koppany, dessen
Körper gevierteilt und
als abschreckendes
Beispiel an die vier
Burgen des Landes gesandt
wurde. Ein ruhiges,
beinahe religiös
wirkendesZwischenspiel
mündet in die
ungarische Nationalhymne.
Dieser prachtvolle, mit
grandioso
überschriebene Schluss
hat auch eine symbolische
Bedeutung: Nach zehn
Jahrhunderten hat Ungarn
guten Grund, mit Stolz
zurückzublicken und
der Zukunft mitZuversicht
und Optimismus
entgegenzusehen.Die
wunderbare Melodie der
Nationalhymne erscheint
in der Sinfonie auch
vorher schon immer
wieder, wird meist aber
ganz oder teilweise
überdeckt. Sie
durchläuft das Werk
wie ein roter Faden, der
anfangs kaumwahrzunehmen
ist und erst im Verlauf
der Sinfonie immer
deutlicher wird. Am Ende
krönt sie das Werk in
einer letzten
prachtvollen Steigerung,
in der das Orchester den
majestätischen Klang
einer Orgel
annimmt.
Sinfonia
Hungarica,
commissionata dalla banda
ungherese di
Kiskunfelegyahaza, è
dedicata al maestro
Ferenc Jankovski, al
sindaco della citt Jozsef
Ficsor e a Gabriella
Kiss. La prima mondiale,
eseguita dalla banda
Kiskunfelegyhaza si è
tenutaa Budapest il 31
marzo 2001 sotto la
direzione del
compositore.Gli eventi
salienti della storia
dell’Ungheria,
come le guerre ed altri
avvenimenti importanti,
sono tradotti in musica
in questa sinfonia
strutturata in tre
movimenti. Sinfonia
Hungaricavuole anche
essere un omaggio allo
stato ungherese che
festeggia il suo
millennio nel
2001.ATTILA, re
degli Unni, spesso
chiamato “il
flagello di Dio“
è la figura centrale
del primo movimento,
caratterizzato dalla
paura, dalla
minaccia,dall’aggr
essione e dalla crudelt .
Buda, fratello di Attila
è associato ad un tema
più eroico, mentre
Rika, l’amata
moglie, è
rappresentata da una
melodia lirica.
L’eccitante finale
di questo movimento di
apertura illustra la
tanto temuta velocit
delle truppe di Attila
che seminavano paura e
morte.Il secondo
movimento pone
l’accento su
ARPAD, il
fondatore dello Stato
ungherese. Inizia con un
passaggio in stile
atmosferico che evoca la
nonna di Arpad, Emese che
aveva sognato e
predettoil futuro del
nipote. Uno degli
oppositori di Arpad, il
principe bulgaro Zalan,
fu cacciato dopo una
battaglia. In seguito,
Arpad chiamò
ufficialmente il
territorio
“Magyarorszagâ€
.Il movimento finale
prende il nome da
ISTVAN, il re che
portòil cristianesimo
in Ungheria e che fu
incoronato da Papa
Silvestro II il 1
gennaio, 1001. Un inizio
solenne prelude ad un
passaggio bellico
accentuato da rumori
imponenti; questo a
simboleggiare
l’atroce fine del
pagano Koppany il cui
corpo futagliato in
quattro pezzi e inviato
ai quattro castelli del
paese come monito. Dopo
un intermezzo quieto,
quasi religioso, viene
presentato l’Inno
nazionale ungherese. In
questo ampio e grandioso
finale riecheggia
l’orgoglio
dell’Ungheria
nelricordare il suo
passato e la fiducia con
la quale si proietta al
futuro.Lo stupendo tema
dell’Inno
nazionale ungherese è
proposto nell’arco
dell’intera
sinfonia. E’
però spesso
parzialmente nascosto e
usato come filo
conduttore, appena
riconoscibileall’i
nizio ma sempre più
ovvio quando la sinfonia
si avvicina al suo
finale. A conclusione
della sinfonia, il
sublime inno conduce la
banda in
un’apoteosi
finale, facendo apparire
l’organico
strumentale come un
maestoso organo.

The Hida High
School is in a highland
city called Takayama in
Gifu Prefecture. Takayama
City has some of the
highest mountains in
Japan, atmospheric rows
of houses and streets,
and a beautiful
landscape. The
magnificent views from
these mountains can be
described as a paradise
above the clouds. When
the composer visited
there in the summer of
2001, the lovely flowers
spreading through the
valley and the refreshing
air welcomed him. The
flowers looked as if they
were fashionably dressed
and fully enjoying
conversation and a short
summer at a reunion
party. The composer was
inspired by this scenery
to compose this piece.
The musical party opens
with happy greetings of a
reunion andjoyful themes
follow one after another.
A light xylophone solo, a
waltz and an adagio
featuring alternate solos
by alto saxophone,
euphonium and trumpet
lead to a brilliant
finale featuring brass
and percussion played in
irregular time. A
beautiful musical picture
that your band will enjoy
performing for many
years.

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.

The
hymn Nun ruhen alle
Walder (Now All Forests
Rest), arranged by J.S.
Bach (No. 6, So sei nun,
Seele, deine, from
Cantata BWV 13), is a
guiding light throughout
this four-movement
composition. Pütz
wrote this work as a
musical outcry against
the wilful, profit-driven
destruction of our
environment. When Bach
used the word ruhen (to
rest) over 350 years ago,
it probably had a
different nuance from the
meaning it has today. At
the beginning of the 21st
century - the so-called
age of progress - nun
ruhen alle Walder should
mean now all forests die
. Massive
industrialization and
globalization, coupled
with pure greed,
corruption, political
scandals, an
ever-wideninggap between
the rich and poor, and
other such senseless
human actions, are
pushing our blue planet
closer and closer to the
point of no return. This
work is not intended to
be a ranting accusation.
It should remind us of
the beauty and harmony
that can exist all around
us in nature, if we take
care of it. Pütz
hopes that this will, one
day, help put a greater
emphasis on humanity's
survival, and coexistence
with nature rather than
the exploitation
described earlier. All
four texts were created
by Australian poet Graeme
King, whose works were
discovered by Pütz,
by chance on the
internet. Pütz was
especially captivated by
King's clarity, and
intrigued by the
possibilities of adapting
and melding the strong
rhythmical structure of
King's writing with his
own musical language. The
four movements are as
follows: 1. Tears of
Nature 2. Grrrevolution
3. Stand up! 4. Tomorrow
The world premiere of
Four Earth Songs took
place on 7 July 2009 at
the 14th WASBE-Conference
in Cincinnati (USA). This
work is dedicated in
friendship to Jouke
Hoekstra, conductor, and
the Frysk Fanfare Orkest
(the Frisian
Fanfare-Orchestra).
De hymne Nun
ruhen alle Walder,
gearrangeerd door J.S.
Bach (nr. 6, So sei nun,
Seele, deine, uit cantate
BWV 13), is de leidraad
in deze vierdelige
compositie. Putz schreef
het werk als een muzikaal
protest tegen de
moedwillige,op winstbejag
gebaseerde vernietiging
van ons milieu. Toen Bach
het woord 'ruhen'
(rusten) meer dan 350
jaar geleden gebruikte,
lag er waarschijnlijk een
andere nuance in dan
tegenwoordig. Aan het
begin van de 21e eeuw -
dezogenaamde eeuw van de
vooruitgang - zou 'nun
ruhen alle Walder' zelfs
kunnen betekenen: 'nu
sterven alle bossen'. De
grootschalige
industrialisatie en
globalisering, in
combinatie met pure
hebzucht, corruptie,
politieke schandalen,een
groeiende kloof tussen
arm en rijk, en andere
dwaze menselijke
verrichtingen, brengen
onze blauwe planeet
steeds verder in de
problemen, tot er
misschien geen weg terug
meer is. Dit werk is niet
bedoeld als een
beschuldigendetirade. Het
moet ons wijzen op de
schoonheid en harmonie
die in de natuur om ons
heen kan bestaan, als we
er goed voor zorgen. Putz
hoopt dat er op een dag
meer nadruk gelegd zal
worden op het overleven
van de mensheid
invreedzame co-existentie
met de natuur, zonder de
eerdergenoemde
uitbuiting. Alle vier de
teksten zijn geschreven
door de Australische
dichter Graeme King,
wiens werk Putz bij
toeval tegenkwam op het
internet. Hij werd
getroffendoor Kings
helderheid en raakte
geintrigeerd door de
mogelijkheid de sterke
ritmische structuur van
Kings teksten om te
zetten in zijn eigen
muzikale taal. De vier
delen zijn de volgende:
1. Tears of Nature 2.
Grrrevolution 3.Stand up!
4. Tomorrow De
wereldpremiere van Four
Earth Songs vond plaats
op 7 juli 2009 tijdens de
14e WASBE Conference in
Cincinnati (VS). Dit werk
is in vriendschap
opgedragen aan dirigent
Jouke Hoekstra en zijn
Fryskt Fanfare
Der
Choral Nun ruhen alle
Walder, hier in einer
Bearbeitung von J.S. Bach
(Nr. 6 So sei nun, Seele,
deine aus der Kantate BWV
13), zieht sich wie ein
roter Faden durch diese
viersatzige Komposition,
die als musikalischer
Aufschrei (Anfang!) gegen
die mutwillige,
profitgesteuerte
Zerstorung unserer Umwelt
gedacht ist. Sicher hatte
das Wort ruhen vor
über 350 Jahren,
als der Liedtext
entstand, eine andere
Bedeutung als heute. Zu
Beginn des 21.
Jahrhunderts, im
sogenannten Zeitalter des
Fortschritts,
müsste es leider
wohl eher heissen: Nun
sterben alle Walder...
Massive
Industrialisierung,
Globalisierung, aber auch
Profitgier, Korruption,
politische
Unfahigkeit,krasse
Unterschiede zwischen arm
und reich, und
schlussendlich die
Uneinsichtigkeit des
einzelnen Menschen haben
dazu geführt, dass
der Blaue Planet heute
kurz vor dem Kollaps
steht. Dieses Werk soll
jedoch nicht nur
anklagen, es soll auch
die verbliebenen
Schonheiten unserer Natur
aufzeigen, in der
Hoffnung, dass es einmal
gelingen wird, die
Rettung der Natur und den
Schutz der Umwelt
über die oben
genannten Interessen zu
stellen. Alle vier Texte
stammen aus der Feder des
australischen Dichters
Graeme King, dessen Werk
der Komponist durch einen
glücklichen Zufall
im Internet entdeckte.
Besonders inspirierend
war die Direktheit von
Graemes Aussagen, aber
auch die kraftvolle
Rhythmik seiner Verse mit
den daraus resultierenden
Moglichkeiten der
musikalischen Umsetzung.
Die vier Satze sind wie
folgt
überschrieben: 1.
Tears of Nature 2.
Grrrevolution 3. Stand
up! 4. Tomorrow Die
offizielle
Uraufführung von
Four Earth Songs fand am
7. Juli 2009 statt,
anlasslich der 14.
WASBE-Konferenz in
Cincinnati (USA). Das
Werk ist dem Dirigenten
Jouke Hoekstra und dem
Frysk Fanfare Orkest
(Friesischen
Fanfareorchester) in
aller Freundschaft
gewidmet.
Le
cantique Nun ruhen alle
Walder, dont la ligne
melodique fut reprise par
Jean-Sebastien Bach pour
son choral So sein nun,
Seele, deine (Choral
ndeg6 - Cantate BWV 13),
est le fil conducteur de
cette oeuvre en quatre
mouvements concue comme
un cri contre la
destruction volontaire de
la nature pour le profit.
Plus de trois siecles
nous separent du temps de
Bach. Si les mots sont
restes les memes, leur
sens primitif connait
cependant quelques
nuances. Ainsi, au XXIe
siecle - considere comme
le << siecle du progres
>>, il conviendrait de
traduire Nun ruhen alle
Walder (les forets se
reposent ) par Les forets
se meurent. La
mondialisation et
l'industrialisation
massiveassociees a
l'avidite predatrice, a
la corruption politique,
aux actions humaines
irrationnelles et au
fosse grandissant entre
riches et pauvres
conduisent notre planete
bleue a se rapprocher
chaque jour un peu plus
du point de non retour.
Cette composition n'est
pas une accusation
acerbe, mais plutot une
exhortation a prendre
soin de cette beaute si
harmonieuse que nous
offre la nature. Et
peut-etre, prendrons-nous
enfin conscience de
l'importance d'une
situation de coexistence
avec la nature,
necessaire pour la survie
de l'espece humaine, et
non d'exploitation qui
conduit a la destruction.
Un jour, alors qu'il
naviguait sur Internet,
Marco Pütz
decouvrit l'oeuvre du
poete australien Graeme
King. Fascine par la
clarte de l'ecriture et
le rythme des vers, Marco
Pütz imagina les
multiples possibilites
d'adaptation et de mise

poemes de King. Il

Sinfonia
Hungarica is a
three-movement symphony
that depicts the history
of Hungary. All three
movements were inspired
by historical key
figures, wars, and other
important events from
this country. This
symphony is a celebration
of Hungary’s
millennium in
2001.ATTILA, King of the
Huns, often named
“The scourge of
God,†is the
central figure of the
first movement, mainly
characterized by fear,
threat, aggression, and
cruelty. Attila’s
brother, Buda, however,
has a more heroic theme,
while his beloved wife,
Rika, has a lyrical
melody. The exciting
ending of this opening
movement illustrates the
dreaded speed of
Attila’s troops:
they pursued their
victims and killed them
all!

Aggressivität und
Grausamkeit, die vonihm

Attilas Bruder, und das
lyrische von Rika,

für die gefürchtete
Schnelligkeit von Attilas

A lot is known
about the American
composer Leroy Anderson.
This son of Swedish
immigrants played the
piano, organ, accordion,
trombone, tuba and double
bass. He spoke several
languages fluently and
graduated from Harvard
with first-class
honours.While on military
service, the army also
commissioned him to write
a manual on Icelandic
grammar.He already
started writing musical
arrangements as a
student, and from his
30th year arranged and
composed for the Boston
Pops Orchestra. Such
melodiesas Serenata, The
Typewriter, Sleigh Ride
and Bugler�s
Holiday made him world
famous. His best-known
work, Blue Tango, reached
number one in the US
charts in 1952, and it
sold more than a million
copies. In 1975, a year
after hisdeath, he was
given a star at the Walk
of Fame in Hollywood.Most
of his works last no
longer than three
minutes, about the
maximum length of a
single at that time. One
work that lasts longer is
his 1953 Piano Concerto
in C for piano and
orchestra.The first
performance was in
Chicago, conducted by the
composer and with Eugene
List at the piano.
However, after three
performances he was no
longer happy with the
work and withdrew it. He
always intended to revise
it, but never got round
to it. Itwas only in 1989
that the Anderson family
decided to republish the
work.This three-part
composition is on the one
hand characterised by a
careless elegance, but on
the other one can hear
the influence of
Rachmaninoff, Copland,
Gershwin, and
evenBeethoven and Mozart,
as well as the Viennese
classics.Anderson used
the sonata form for the
first movement. It ends
with a cadenza that
carries us on into the
second part (in e minor).
The third part is a
typically cheerful
American folk dance in2/4
time, a so-called Hoe
Down, with a lilting,
lyrical passage as its
middle section. At the
end comes a solo passage
followed by a rapid
close.In this piano
concerto, Anderson
combines a rigidly
classical form of
composition with simple
andappealing themes and
elements from light
music. So this work is a
perfect synthesis of
light music and what is
called serious music, in
the same way as
Gershwin�s
Rhapsody in Blue. A work
that can be played
equally well in a
concerthall, at an
open-air concert or even
a pop
concert.

A Little
Irish Suite is an
original work composed
specifically for the
Compact Band Series. This
series offers smaller
ensembles the opportunity
to perform original,
high-quality works. A
Little Irish Suite
consists of three
movements, all based on
Irish folk tunes. Clear
structure and crisp
harmonies complemented by
plain, comprehensible
melodies, are
characteristic of this
piece. It offers
conductors the
opportunity to work on
tone, balance, phrasing
as well as on technique
with their ensemble. As
with all works in the
Compact Band Series, A
Little Irish Suite
features optional parts
for instruments that are
played less frequently.
Conductors can pickand
choose the parts needed
to best fit the music and
the musicians available,
to determine the best
possible instrumentation
for their own ensemble.
The duration of six
minutes and the large
variety and contrast of
material played in A
Little Irish Suite
also make it an ideal
selection for
competitions or
festivals.

This
large-scale
three-movement work,
commissioned by Ray
Cramer and the Indiana
University Wind Ensemble,
embodies the
transformation of silence
into sound. The opening
movement is sparse,
utilizing mallet
percussion, harp, and
piano to create a
floating sense of
timelessness. Featuring
extensive solo flute,
this floating texture
gradually builds over
several minutes,
ultimately launching
itself into a grandiose,
warm, harmonically
consonant blanket of
sound. The second
movement continues the
focus on solo flute, and
again opens slowly,
gradually gaining
momentum, but at a faster
pace than in the first
movement. The music
spirals upward and
outward, but instead of
reaching a plateau, winds
itself out and comes to a
grinding halt in the
upper range of the
ensemble. Five brief,
solemn chords conclude
the movement, which
immediately erupts into
Movement III, music of
unceasing, unsettling,
motion, propelled by a
driving ostinato which is
repeatedly interrupted by
bittersweet moments of
lyricism, all the while
pushing toward an
unforgiving climax. The
movements may also be
performed separately.
There is no explicit
narrative to the piece,
though many particular
elements do have personal
quasi-biographical
significance. Ultimately,
this is music of both
personal and musical
transformation.

Claudio
Monteverdi composed this
toccata as an
instrumental introduction
for the opera
L’Orfeo (1607).
According to the
composer, this
introduction should be
played three times before
the rising of the
curtain. This is actually
the first overture in the
history of opera.)The
story of Orfeo, who
enchanted nature with his
music, is tragic, as he
loses his beloved
Eurydice and decides to
retrieve her from the
underworld. On their
return journey, one
glance back at her is
fatal: he loses her for
the second time.)This
arrangement for wind band
is very suitable as a
concert opener. The
toccata is played three
times just like the
original. The first time
it is played by a
quintetconsisting of two
trumpets and three
trombones.)Various ways
of performing this
toccata are possible. The
tension builds up more
intensely if the quintet
starts off stage.
Eventually, these five
players join the band,
after which the tutti
version follows two
times. You can also have
the brass play from the
gallery during the second
or third time for a
double choir effect.
Claudio

deze toccata als

tot de opera

voor harmonieorkest is
dan ook heel geschikt als
openingswerk. De toccata
wordt drie keer gespeeld,
de eerste keer door een
kwintet van twee
trompetten en drie
trombones. De opbouw van
de spanning is intenser
als het kwintet in de
coulissen of achter het
podium begint. Vervolgens
voegen deze vijf
muzikanten zich bij de
rest van het orkest,
waarna de tutti-versie
nog twee keer
klinkt.
Claudio
Monteverdi schrieb diese
Toccata als
instrumentales Vorspiel
zur Oper l'Orfeo.
Sie sollte drei Mal vor
der Hebung des Vorhangs
gespielt werden. Damit
hatte er tatsächlich
die erste Ouvertüre
der Operngeschichte
geschaffen! Wie im
Original, wird auch in
dieser Bearbeitung die
Toccata drei Mal
gespielt: zunächst von
einem Trompeten- und
Posaunenquintett, dann
zwei Mal vom gesamten
