Albion was commissioned by the Swiss Brass Band Federation as the test piece for the National Brass Band Championships of England, Belgium, The Netherlands, and Switzerland in 2001, and for Norway in 2002. The composition is dedicated to Markus Bach.Albion, along with Excalibur and Stonehenge, is the third major piece for brass band in which Jan Van der Roost took his inspiration from the British Middle Ages. Although the work is not based on an actual story there are unmistakable epic elements found in this symphonic poem. The piece paints a picture of the conquest of Albion (the earliest known name of the British Island), in which the listener is taken back to the timeof King Arthur and his legendary Knights of the Round Table.

Albion ist neben Excalibur und Stonehenge das dritte große Werk für Brass Band, bei dem sich Jan van der Roost durch das englische Mittelalter inspirieren ließ. Obgleich sie nicht auf einer konkreten Geschichte beruht sind die erzählerischen Momente in dieser Sinfonischen Dichtung nicht zu übersehen. Der Anfang gibt einen Einduck von der Eroberung Albions (Albion ist der erste überlieferte Name der britischen Insel); der Zuhörer taucht dabei in die Zeit von König Artus und seinen legendären Rittern der Tafelrunde ein.

Après Excalibur et Stonehenge, Albion est la troisième œuvre majeure pour Brass Band de Jan Van der Roost inspirée par l’Angleterre du Moyen ge. Bien que l’œuvre ne soit pas construite autour d’une histoire précise, ce poème symphonique a toute l’ampleur d’une épopée. L’ouverture de l’œuvre semble dépeindre la conquête d’Albion (premier nom connu de l’Angleterre), transportant l’auditeur l’époque du roi Arthur et de ses légendaires chevaliers de la Table Ronde. Trois groupes de cornets dispersés au sein de la formation et trois tambours différents reflètent, en autant de tonalités et de tempos, les périodes de guerre qui plongent l’Angleterredu début du Moyen ge dans la tourmente. Des accords sombres et majestueux, exposés dans le registre grave, créent un contraste et donnent au son d’ensemble un caractère trouble et confus. Lorsque les tambours se retrouvent dans un même rythme, l’ensemble de la formation interprète pour la première fois l’unisson le Thème d’Albion.Un allegro energico plein d’agitation apporte soudainement plus d’élan et de dynamisme. Des thèmes virtuoses et guerriers se succèdent, donnant au passage un caractère tumultueux. Cette suite de thèmes se conclut également avec le Thème d’Albion, soutenu cette fois-ci par une structure harmonique plus complexe. S’ensuit un passage intermédiaire calme et serein, permettant plusieurs solistes d’exploiter et de révéler leurs qualités musicales. Après tout, Albion n’a pas connu que des périodes de troubles et de misère. Et le roi Arthur n’est-il pas considéré comme celui qui a apporté paix et stabilité au pays ? Cette lente succession de fragments en solo progresse avec une fluidité presque évidente vers un passage où l’orchestre interprète en chœur les accords majestueux des mesures d’ouverture de l’œuvre. Le Brass Band sonne comme un orgue et le Thème d’Albion vient tout naturellement conclure cette oasis de paix retrouvée. Dans le finale impressionnant, plusieurs éléments thématiques.
