A beautiful jazz chorale sets the stage for this straight-ahead chart. As you might guess from the title, the main part of this tune and the solo section are based on the two minor chords that Coltrane used in his classic modal composition Impressions. The 32-bar AABA structure of the original has been compressed to 16 bars to make it easier for younger players.

Als o available for trombone and piano (HL44007077) Philip Sparke's Trombone Concerto was written for Olaf Ott, principal trombonist with the Berlin Philharmonic. The concerto is in traditional three-movement form and the whole work could be seen as a dramatic soliloquy for the soloist, who starts in earnest and agitated mood but, as the concerto progresses, is able to take a more optimistic tone before ending the work with what could be called a “symphonic samba.” Movement 1 begins darkly until the solo part introduces a more positive theme - only to be “overruled” by a faster, troubled accompaniment; the movement closes over a sombre drum ostinato. Movement 2 opens with a heartfelt “plea” in the accompaniment that is echoed by the soloist, who then plays a simple chorale melody introducing a delicate central section. A chant-like tune leads to a joyous climax, heralding a return of the opening material. Movement 3 casts all troubles aside in a joyful samba - a jazz-influenced central tune explores the higher ranges of the trombone before the samba rhythms set up a “contest” between trombone and piano. The soloist is the eventual “winner” (of course) and celebrates by reintroducing the samba melody before bringing the work to a virtuosic close.

Conquest Of Paradise is the title song from the film of the same name staring Gérard Dépardieu as the explorer Christopher Columbus, on his quest to discover America. The title music to the film, composed by Vangelis, was released as a single, which sold over 4 million copies and was rightfully awarded a Golden Globe. Add a little drama to any concert with this stirring arrangement.

Conquest of Paradise werd geschreven voor de film 1492. De Griekse muzikant en componist Vangelis is bij het grote publiek vooral bekend vanwege zijn soundtrack voor de film Chariots of Fire en zijn sucsesvolleVoices. Deze hero sche muziek, in een arangement van Ron Sebregts, brengt de stemming er beslist in!

Die Rockhymne Conquest of Paradise von Vangelis wurde zunächst als das Lied bekannt, das Henry Maskes letzten Boxkampf begleitete. Nun hat sie aber längst auch die Fußballwelt für sich erobert. Die heroische Musik zaubert auch in Ron Sebregts Blasorchester-Bearbeitung 100 Prozent Stadionstimmung herbei!

Pour célébrer les 500 ans de la découverte de l'Amérique, Ridley Scott réalisa 1492, Christophe Colomb avec Gérard Depardieu dans le rôle-titre. La musique fut confiée Vangelis, compositeur grec de renommée internationale, connu du grand public pour les bandes originales des films Les Chariots de Feu et Blade Runner, entre autres. Habité par le sujet, Vangelis réalise une bande son exceptionnelle mêlant composantes électroniques et mélodiques avec une texture ethnique et chorale. L'ensemble des lignes harmoniques trouve son apogée dans le sublime Conquest Of Paradise ( la conquête du Paradis), une ode magnifique la découverte et la liberté.
