Festi val March is presented in a new edition arranged by Richard Summers. It is a tour de force composition for advanced bands and hearkens back to a bygone era during the golden age of the band movement. Directors and students will hear operatic music from composer Victor Herbert who is best known for his Christmas classic, Toyland. This is a richly scored masterpiece that deserves to return to standard status in concert band repertoire. We are proud to bring you this new setting of this cherished classic.
About the CompositionFestival March by Victor Herbert was written for the Pittsburgh Symphony and first performed under Herbert’s direction in Chicago on Dec. 9, 1901 celebrating the 12th anniversary of Chicago’s Auditorium Theatre. Also known as the Auditorium Festival March, he included it many times for programs of a festival nature. The main theme Auld Lang Syne, a famous Scottish folk song, is incorporated many times along with brass fanfares, interludes and march melodies. This band arrangement is very similar to the original orchestral composition. The missing string parts, the addition of the saxophone section and other band instruments, editing of the superimposed triplets against sixteenth notes, to one or the other, and articulations suitable for the band, were major challenges. The style of early twentieth-century American music is captured here. This arrangement will give band musicians access to a fine piece of music that could only be appreciated by orchestra musicians up to now. Although suitable for many occasions, this piece is a great way to begin or end a December holiday concert.  Notes to the ConductorVictor Herbert’s music can be interpreted in a romantic style, which is the conductor’s responsibility to read in nuance and musicality. The beginning and other triple-tonguing sections of this piece have a March of the Toys quality to it.  The interludes and Auld Lang Syne sections are legato and musical. The March sections can also be shaped musically.About the ComposerVictor Herbert was born in Ireland in 1861 and raised in Germany. When he moved to America in 1886, he joined the Metropolitan Opera as principal cellist and eventually composed many works including forty-three operettas on Broadway from the 1890s to World War I, including Naughty Marietta and Babes in Toyland. Victor Herbert conducted the Pittsburgh Symphony from 1898 to 1904 and then was the conductor of his own Victor Herbert Orchestra. He formed ASCAP with a group of composers in 1914 and was the director until his death in 1924. Among his thirty-one compositions for orchestra, Festival March was a favorite of his and was eventually published by Carl Fischer Music.  .

Festival Prelude ‘Ad Excel’ was commissioned by the AD Concert Band, from Solihull in the UK, to celebrate their 40th Anniversary in 2016. The title, Ad Excel, is a play on words: it is Latin for ‘to excel’ but also celebrates the band’s anniversary as XL is 40 in Roman numerals. The work opens with a bright fanfare with frequent changes of meter. This leads to a playful main subject, played first by woodwinds, followed by full band. A bridge passage leads to a legato second subject, played twice. The bridge passage returns to introduce the both main melodies in new keys and instrumentations before a coda, derived from the opening fanfare, brings the work to a close.

Festival Prelude ‘Ad Excel’ werd geschreven in opdracht van de AD Concert Band uit het Britse Solihull, ter gelegenheid van het veertigjarig bestaan van dit orkest in 2016. De titel, Ad Excel, heeft een dubbele betekenis, die is gebaseerd op de Engelse van het Latijn afgeleide term ‘to excel’ (excelleren, uitblinken) én op het veertigjarig jubileum van de band, aangezien XL in Romeinse cijfers het getal 40 aanduidt. Het werk opent met een opgewekte fanfare waarin frequent van maatsoort wordt gewisseld. Dan volgt een speels hoofdthema, eerst in het hout en dan het volledige orkest. Een bridgegedeelte leidt naar een legato tweede thema, dat twee keer klinkt.Daarop keert de bridge terug om beide hoofdmelodieën in nieuwe toonsoorten en instrumentaties te introduceren, waarna een coda, ontleend aan de openingsfanfare, het werk besluit.

Das Stück Festival Prelude ‘Ad Excel’ wurde 2016 von der AD Concert Band aus Solihull (Vereinigtes Königreich) aus Anlass ihres 40-jährigen Jubiläums in Auftrag gegeben. Der Titel, Ad Excel, ist ein Wortspiel: Es ist das lateinische Wort für to excel“ (engl.: hervorragend sein“), bezieht sich aber auch auf das Jubiläum des Orchesters, da XL die römische Ziffer für 40 ist. Das Werk beginnt mit einer strahlenden Fanfare mit zahlreichen Taktwechseln. Sie führt zu einem verspielten Hauptthema, das zunächst von den Holzbläsern und anschließend vom gesamten Orchester gespielt wird. Eine Überleitung führt zu einem zweiten Thema im Legato. Die Überleitung kehrtschließlich wieder, um die beiden Hauptmelodien in neuen Tonarten und Instrumentierungen vorzustellen, bis das Werk in einer Coda, die von der Eröffnungsfanfare abgeleitet ist, endet.

Festival Prelude ‘Ad Excel’ est une commande de l’AD Concert Band de Solihull au Royaume-Uni, pour célébrer leur 40e anniversaire en 2016. Le titre, Ad Excel, est un jeu de mots : en latin, il signifie « exceller », mais les chiffres romains XL font aussi 40, l’anniversaire célébré par l’orchestre. L’œuvre commence par une fanfare éclatante aux changements de mesure fréquents, suivie par l’introduction du thème principal, joué par les bois, puis repris par l’orchestre. Un pont mène au second thème legato avant d’introduire - nouveau les deux mélodies principales avec des tonalités et instrumentations différentes. L’œuvre se termine avec une coda dérivée de la fanfared’ouverture .

Festival Prelude ‘Ad Excel’ è stato commissionato dalla AD Concert Band, di Solihull nel Regno Unito, per celebrare il loro 40esimo anniversario nel 2016. Il titolo, Ad Excel, è un gioco di parole: è il corrispondente latino di “eccellere” ma celebra allo stesso tempo l’anniversario della band dato che XL equivale a 40 in numeri romani. L’opera si apre con una luminosa fanfara con frequenti cambi di tempo. Questa sfocia in motivo giocoso principale, prima suonato dai legni, subito dopo dall’intera banda. Un passaggio che funge da ponte porta poi a un secondo tema in legato, suonato per due volte. Il passaggio ritorna poi ad introdurre le due melodieprincipali in una nuova tonalit prima della coda, che riprende la fanfara di apertura, portando il brano alla conclusione.

This celebratory work, which Philip Sparke wrote for the 20th anniversary of the Nottingham Concert Band, starts with a hymn-like theme played as a fanfare in the brass. With a change of mood from ‘solemn’ to ‘merry’ and back to ‘majestic’, together with an unusual orchestration, in which may different instruments feature and in which at points the entire wind orchestra shimmers in tutti passages, A Nottingham Festival is a real pleasure for musicians and public alike.

Dit feestelijke werk schreef Philip Sparke in opdracht van de Nottingham Concert Band, ter gelegenheid van het twintigjarig jubileum van het orkest. Een uitdagend concertwerk met vele sfeerwisselingen, waaraan uw muzikanten en publiekveel aardigheid zullen beleven!

Dieses festliche Werk, das Philip Sparke zum 20-jährigen Jubiläum der Nottingham Concert Band schreib, beginnt mit einem hymnenartigen Motiv zu Fanfaren im Blechregister. Stimmungswechsel von feierlich zu fröhlich und zurück zu majestätisch sowie eine ausgewogene Orchestrierung, die viele verschiedene Instrumente hervorhebt und auch das gesamte Blasorchester in Tutti-Passagen glänzen lässt, machen A Nottingham Festival zu einem Genuss für Musiker und Publikum.

A Nottingham Festival débute par un motif ascendant qui contraste avec la fougueuse entrée des cuivres. Puis l’ambiance se fait sereine pour introduire une mélodie jouée par les clarinettes et accompagnée d’un motif rythmique la caisse claire. Un crescendo mène un passage puissant repris par l’orchestre entier qui réintroduit la trame initiale. Le tableau final est rehaussé par la reprise majestueuse du thème d’origine, interprété cette fois par les cuivres, où s’entrelacent les attrayantes répliques des bois. Une coda énergique met fin cette somptueuse composition qui souligne la force créatrice du compositeur.

Cambiamenti di umore, dal festoso al divertito per poi tornare al maestoso, come anche un’orchestrazione bilanciata che riesce a mettere in risalto molti strumenti come anche l’organico nei passaggi in tutti, fanno di A Nottingham Festival un vero piacere musicale per esecutori e pubblico.

Lion City Festival was commissioned as one of the test pieces for the Singapore Youth Festival 2010, an annual event at which school ensembles from throughout Singapore can receive gold, silver or bronze awards for their performance. The English name for Singapore comes from Malay Singapura, which has Sanskrit roots meaning ‘Lion City’. Lion City Festival is in the form of a quick march in ABA form. An opening fanfare leads to a perky march tune which is taken up by the full band. A change of key heralds a legato trio section before the main theme returns in varied form. Roaring fun!

The German composer Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) wrote his Academic Fesival Overture in the summer of 1880, together with the Tragic Overture. The occasion was the honorary degree which Brahms had received a year before from the University of Breslau. Initially, Brahms had sent a thank-you note, but he was expected to express his gratitude with a composition. The premiere took place on 4 January, 1881 - conducted by the composer himself - in Breslau. For this sparkling work, Brahms used various German student songs as a basis in an inventive way - and a little jestingly. Owing to the accessible development, lyrical warmth, humor, and persuasiveness, the Academic Festival Overtureis still a popular concert work. This transcription for concert band, which has been written by Tohru Takahashi, does justice to the original composition.

Voor dit sprankelende werk gebruikte Brahms op inventieve wijze - en een tikje schertsend - verschillende Duitse studentenliederen als basis. Dankzij de toegankelijke opbouw, lyrische warmte, humor en meeslependheid is de AkademischeFestouvert� �¼re nog altijd een geliefd concertwerk. Deze transcriptie voor harmonieorkest, die is geschreven door Tohru Takahashi, doet recht aan de originele compositie.

Als Basis für dieses strahlende Werk, das er zum Dank für die ihm verliehene Ehrendoktorwürde der Universität Breslau schrieb, verwendete Brahms in erfinderischer und heiterer Manier verschiedene deutsche Studentenlieder. Dank seiner leicht zugänglichen Entwicklung, der lyrischen Wärme, seines Humors und seiner Überzeugungskraft ist das Stück heute noch sehr beliebt.

Au cours de l’été 1880, le compositeur allemand Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) écrit son Ouverture pour une fête académique, op. 80. Elle est contemporaine de l'Ouverture tragique qui en est son pendant. Un an auparavant, Brahms avait été fait docteur « honoris causa » de l’Université de Breslau. Dans un premier temps, il se contenta d'une simple note manuscrite titre de remerciement, mais comprit rapidement que cela ne saurait suffire. Il composa donc l’Ouverture pour une fête académique en remerciement pour sa nomination. L’œuvre fut créée l’Université de Breslau, le 4 janvier 1881, sous la direction du compositeur. Sorte de fantaisiepétillante et inventive, l’Ouverture académique est constituée de plusieurs chansons estudiantines allemandes en vogue l’époque. En raison de son développement accessible, riche en expressivité, espiègle et lumineux, cette ouverture reste très largement appréciée de nos jours.Cette transcription pour Orchestre d’Harmonie signée Tohru Takahashi est fidèle l’œuvre originale.

The Gymnopédies, published in Paris starting in 1888, are three piano compositions written by French composer and pianist Erik Satie. The name referrers to an ancient Greek festival and dance. This piece has a haunting quality to its very familiar melody while its harmonies are atmospheric and ethereal. The setting would easily stand on its own but would also lend itself well to choreography for modern dance or ballet to enhance the performance and involve additional performers on stage at your concert. The flowing lines and beautiful textures make Festival Dance a must for your concert band repertoire. (3:00).
