Using just 6 notes, Arco Echo explores G major in first position using only easy quarter- and half-note rhythms. A smooth detaché call-and-response between upper and lower string sections will help young students learn to listen across the ensemble, building confidence in simple three-part harmony with doubled Violin 2/Viola and doubled Cello/Bass. Optional piano is included for additional support, making this a fun first venture into independent counting.
Arco Echo is a lighthearted piece for beginning string orchestra. It falls within the range of the first year player. Young musicians can work on basic detaché bowing skills with a nice mix of half and quarter note rhythms, including some rests and minimal dynamic changes. All of the sections get a chance to play parts of the melody with an echo game of call-and-response between upper and lower string sections. The harmonies are very clear and direct, resulting in a solid concert selection that will give the young orchestra a big, confident sound.

SKU: BT.DHP-1002123-216

Composed by Roland Kernen. Flexible 6 Series. Pop & Rock. Score Only. Composed 2000. De Haske Publications #DHP 1002123-216. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-1002123-216).

Junior Rock depicts two children, a brother and sister, who despite all their differences are both filled with the joys of life. The piece opens with a lively graceful theme depicting the light and good-natured mood that characterizes the two children playing. The music then becomes more calm and romantic in the middle passage. The piece comes to a cheerful and youthful close with the extended restatement of the earlier thematic material. It has been arranged for beginner bands and can be played with a minimum of six players (+ percussion).

Ju nior Rock beschrijft twee spelende kinderen. Een levendig thema weerspiegelt een onbezorgde sfeer. De muziek wordt kalmer in de middenpassage. Dan komt een nieuwe melodie naar voren in verschillende muzikale frasen, die quastructuur min of meer identiek zijn. De eerdere thematiek leidt het stuk daarna naar zijn jeugdige slot.

Roland Kernen schrieb diese kurze und leichte Komposition speziell für kleinere Blasorchester oder Jugendorchester in variabler Besetzung. Junior Rock erzählt von zwei Kindern voller Lebensfreude: Ein Junge und seine jüngere Schwester erleben trotz ihrer unterschiedlichen Charaktere Momente großer Vertrautheit.

Junior Rock est une composition mélodique, lumineuse et éclatante de fraîcheur et de jeunesse. S’appuyant sur la grande vitalité des jeunes musiciens, Roland Kernen leur a composé une œuvre taillée sur mesure. Let’s rock !

This highly programmatic work tells the story of buccaneer naval warfare and the ghosts that linger to this day, haunting the seas and all who pass through them. After an evocative opening featuring numerous rattles, the music becomes aggressive and relentless as it portrays the credo-driven pirates and their attacks during the height of their power. Intense and extremely engaging!

Composed by George Lloyd. Band Music. Score only. Duration 10:00. Published by G & M Brand Music Publishers (CN.S11042).

This symphonic sketch for concert band is packed full different motives thrown around the ensemble hinting at the programmatic leitmotifs of Wagner. Every section of the ensemble gets a workout in this delightful 10-minute work.

A Symphonic Sketch for Concert Band. The resurgence of interest in George Lloyd's music must give us faith that such talent will ultimately prevail against sometimes unhappy circumstances. Lloyd was Cornish and showed precocious gifts at an early age - he had completed his first symphony by the age of nineteen. During the 1930s he completed two operas, one of which - The Serf - was produced at Covent Garden in 1938. He was set for a glittering career as a composer. The Second World War intervened and he was invalidad out of the Navy in a shell-shocked state, and having written very little serious music since 1937 went to Switzerland to recuperate, looked after by his wife, Nancy. Painfully, he began writing again - symphonies Nos. 4 and 5 - and then returned to England. He needed to earn a living and he set up a mushroom farm in Dorset. But slowly he began to compose again and drafted more symphonies in short score. By this time he was virtually unknown - despite being considered the equal of Walton, Britten, and other young stars of English music some 30 years earlier. Lloyd decided to embark on a series of recordings of his symphonies, and slowly popular acclaim enabled him to regain his position. The Forest of Arden was written in 1987 as a result of a commission by the Solihull Youth Wind Band. Although Lloyd's music feels instinctively written one should not be misled - it is carefully crafted, but the craft and structure are always subordinated to create a flow with a strongly melodic content. Instead of two or three themes, The Forest of Arden contains an abundance of ideas which can be described in two groups. The first group contains the opening rhythmic motif, quickly developed into a short rising quaver passage in the woodwinds, and later then a chromatic ostinato bass - only 8 bars at this stage but later expanded. The second group is broad and expansive, initially based on intervals of rising fifths introduced by euphonium, tubas, and baritone saxophone, immediately echoed by horns. Low brass and winds expand the theme into rising sixths and octaves. There is a hint of development, bit this is arrested as the music moves to a piu tranquillo section introduced by the alto saxophone which further develops the rising sixth theme. There follows a true development of the opening material, starting with the ostinato bass and gradually passing through different tonal centers until the rising fifths of the second theme group are heralded - fortissimo and poco piu largamente shortly before the end. The structure is almost Wagnerian (albeit on a much smaller scale), with themes being used as leitmotifs, but this is music which, even within the space of ten minutes is conceived on a grand design.

This delightful new composition takes its inspiration from the classic French swash buckling tale of Cyrano de Bergerac and his fight to win the love of the beautiful maiden Roxane. The subject was a perfect departure point for composing a symphonic poem with a variety of musical aspects reflecting the story. Lyricism (the theme of Roxane), dramatic episodes, as well as Debussy-inspired impressionist moments are some of the elements that give the band and its conductor the chance to expose themselves as a versatile ensemble being able to create colour, to sing and to play like virtuosi. This work is sure to become a standard item in the concert band repertoire.

In Cyrano verklankt de componist Piet Swerts het romantische en tragische verhaal van de briljante dichter en zwaardkunstenaar Cyrano de Bergerac en zijn mooie, intellectuele nicht Roxane, op wie hij tot over zijn oren verliefdis. Zijn uiterlijk, met name zijn buitengewoon grote neus, belet hem om zijn gevoelens tegenover haar te uiten. De vele verwikkelingen die uit deze situatie voortkomen zijn te herkennen in deze programmatische compositie.

Piet Swerts erzählt hier musikalisch die tragisch-romantische Geschichte von Cyrano de Bergerac, der einem verliebten Freund hilft, seine Liebe zu erobern und sich dann selbst unglücklich in dessen Angebetete verliebt. Diese Komposition spiegelt die Geschichte mit einer Vielfalt an musikalischen Aspekten eindrucksvoll wider. Lyrik, dramatische Episoden sowie von Debussy inspirierte, impressionistische Momente sind einige der Elemente, die dem Blasorchester und seinem Dirigenten die Chance bieten, sich als vielseitiges Ensemble, das zugleich Farben entfalten, singen und virtuos spielen kann, zu präsentieren.

L a comédie héro que Cyrano de Bergerac (1897) valut son auteur une gloire immédiate. Cyrano, héros tragique et attachant, est entré dans le patrimoine universel, sans doute parce qu’il incarne superbement un mythe bien ancien : celui de l’amour et du bonheur impossibles. Ce délicieux chef-d’œuvre thé tral d’Edmond Rostand a inspiré ce poème symphonique de Piet Swerts qui s’articule autour d’une grande diversité musicale exprimant différentes scènes de la pièce. Passages lyriques, épisodes dramatiques et moments impressionnistes, Cyrano comprend de nombreux ingrédients qui permettent au chef et sa formation d’exploiter leur polyvalence travers lacouleur, le chant et le jeu virtuose.

La commedia Cyrano de Bergerac (1897) valse al suo autore gloria immediata. Cyrano, eroe tragico e commovente, è entrato nel patrimonio universale senza dubbio perché incarna a meraviglia un mito molto antico: quello dell’amore e della felicit impossibili. Questo delizioso capolavoro teatrale di Edmond Rostand ha ispirato il poema sinfonico che si articola attorno ad una grande diversit musicale esprimendo diverse scene dell’opera teatrale. Passaggi lirici, episodi drammatici e momenti impressionanti, Cyrano comprende numerosi ingredienti che permettono al maestro di sfruttare la polivalenza attraverso il colore, il canto e il suono virtuoso.

The heat of the day ebbs away as the sun slowly dips from view over the western horizon. A dazzling display of warm hues, vibrant yellows, glowing oranges and burning reds, lights up the evening before cooling to calm blues, dark, cool purples andfinally the black of night. Such are the unforgettable sunsets that inspired Jan de Haan to write this piece.

De hitte van overdag ebt weg terwijl de zon in het westen langzaam achter de horizon verdwijnt. Een schitterend schouwspel van warme schakeringen - levendig geel, gloedvol oranje en vurig rood - verlicht nog even de avond, waarna koele kleuren volgenmet serene tinten blauw, donkere nuances van paars en ten slotte het zwart van de nacht. Fraaie zonsondergangen als deze vormden voor Jan de Haan de inspiratie tot het schrijven van dit sfeervolle werk voor blaasinstrument en piano.

Die Hitze des Tages verebbt, während die Sonne langsam am westlichen Horizont versinkt. Ein schillernder Reigen warmer Farben aus pulsierendem Gelb, glühendem Orange und brennendem Rot erhellt den Abendhimmel, bevor ruhige Blautöne, kühle Lilaschattierungen und schlie�lich die Schwärze der Nacht Abkühlung bringen. Solcheunvergesslichen Sonnenuntergänge inspirieren Jan de Haan zur Komposition dieses Stückes für diverse Blasinstrumente und Klavierbegleitungen.

La chaleur de la journée sâ??atténue peu peu alors que le soleil plonge lentement derrière lâ??horizon. Un éblouissant spectacle met en scène des jaunes vibrants, des oranges lumineux et des rouges br lants qui illuminent le début de soirée alors quedéj , apparaissent les premières nuances bleutées et pourpres, synonymes de fraîcheur. Ces inoubliables couchers de soleil ont inspiré Jan de Haan lorsquâ??il a composé cette pièce pour instrument vent diverses et piano.

Il calore del giorno si stempera mentre il sole scompare lentamente all`orizzonte. Una brillante combinazione di calde tonalit di giallo vibrante, arancio luccicante e rosso incandescente riscalda la sera. Colori che lasciano il passo a un blu cherilassa, a rinfrescanti tonalit del viola, e infine al nero della notte. Questi sono i tramonti indimenticabili che hanno ispirato Jan de Haan nel scirvere questo brano per diversi strumenti a fiati e pianoforte.

There are seven songs and an instrumental interlude, making all together an entertainment that provides opportunity for very simple stage action and dancing: nothing at all elaborate is needed in the way of scenery and costumes. The voices are in unison throughout, and their part is always doubled by instruments, which should make it relatively easy for quite young children to learn their way into Davies's delightful tunes. The references to Hoy are incidental, and could possibly be adapted to suit the locality of a particular performance. In any event, most of these tall stories and rhymes will appeal to children everywhere.
