In Dublin Dances Jan Van der Roost has combined three well-known traditional Irish melodies to form an attractive medley. The medley contains Brian Boru’s March, a melody made popular by worldfamous flautist James Galway, followed bythe atmospheric tune The Minstrel Man and, as a cheerful finale, The Irish Washerwoman. Add a little magic from the Emerald Isle to your concert with this rousing medley.

In deze ‘Ierse rapsodie’ put de componist uit de rijke schat aan Ierse volksmuziek en rijgt hij drie bekende melodieën aaneen tot een fraai geheel. De eerste melodie, Brian Boru’s March, krijgt een verfrissende opknapbeurt,trommels en fluiten spelen daarbij een belangrijke rol. Dan volgt de melodie van The Minstrel Man, sfeervol gebracht door diverse instrumenten en met een sobere maar treffende harmonisatie omkaderd. Als ‘uitsmijter’ is erhet opgewekte The Irish Washerwoman - deze vrolijke finale besluit dit muzikale bezoek aan het oneindig groene eiland.

In Dublin Dances verknüpfte Jan Van der Roost drei bekannte Melodien zu einem ansprechenden Ganzen: Brian Borus’s March, bekannt vor allem durch den Flötisten James Galway, ist geprägt von Flöten und Trommeln; dann folgt The Minstrel Man, ein stimmungsvolles Lied, das in mehreren Instrumentierungen erscheint und schließlich - als Clou - The Irish Washerwoman im typisch irischen 6/8-Takt als fröhliches Finale dieses musikalischen Besuchs auf der ewig grünen Insel.

Pour créer cette rhapsodie irlandaise, Jan Van der Roost a puisé dans la richesse de la musique traditionnelle irlandaise. Dublin Dances (“Danses de Dublin”) rassemble trois célèbres mélodies qui forment le canevas de l’œuvre.La première mélodie, Brian Boru’s March, a fait le tour du monde dans les années 1980, gr ce l’interprétatio n du brillant fl tiste James Galway. Dublin Dances en offre une version nouvelle, pleine de fraîcheur. Ancrée dans la tradition de la musique irlandaise, la place accordée aux fl tes et la percussion apparaît comme une évidence.La seconde mélodie, The Minstrel Man, s’appuie sur une superbe courbe qui chemineavec fluidité entre divers instruments. L’harmonisation qui la sous-tend est d’une étonnante, mais somptueuse sobriété.Point culminant de la structure, le pétillant rythme de danse de l’air The Irish Washerwoman écrit en 6/8, un chiffrage de mesure souvent utilisé dans la musique irlandaise. Ce brillant et virevoltant finale clôt ce voyage musical dans l’éternelle île verte où musique et sociabilité sont unies par un lien indéfectible.

Brian May’s We Will Rock You was not Queen’s biggest hit when it first came out. However, looking back it has become much more than simply a successful song. It is the group’s hymn, welcomed with loud cheers whenever and wherever it is played. Let the good times roll with Lorenzo Bocci’s outstanding arrangement that will rock your band!

We Will Rock You von Brian May ist kurz nach seiner Veröffentlichung nicht einmal der größte Erfolg für die Rockgruppe Queen gewesen - rückblickend, anlässlich des 40-jährigen Bühnenjubiläums, ist er die Hymne und das Erkennungszeichen der Band schlechthin. Wenn Sie einer der großartigsten Rockbands aller Zeiten ein Konzertprogramm widmen wollen, darf diese Bearbeitung nicht fehlen!

Lors de sa sortie, en 1977, la chanson We Will Rock You, écrite par Brian May, reçut un accueil plutôt mitigé. Pourtant, elle compte aujourd’hui parmi les chansons les plus populaires du groupe. Elle fut reprise par divers artistes et utilisée par le monde publicitaire. En choisissant We Will Rock You, vous rendrez un hommage vibrant ce groupe mythique.

We Will Rock You è la prima canzone dell’album News of the World dei Queen, uscito nel 1977 e composta da Brian May. Sulla facciata B del 45 giri si trovava We Are the Champions, ciò che spiega il fatto che queste due canzoni furono a volte eseguite insieme nei concerti della band, spesso una seconda volta in una versione più rapida. We Will Rock You resta una delle canzoni più popolari del gruppo ed è stata più volte ripresa da vari artisti.

You'll be surprised to know that this great sounding work uses only six notes in all instruments, with the exception of the clarinets, which also use a low written B to involve the right hand. The piece has a Renaissance quality to it and includes a middle processional theme (at the same tempo) to work on legato playing. Optional parts are included for clarinet 2 and trumpet 2. There is something for everyone in this dynamic addition to the repertoire!

This powerful work was written in the wake of the death of NYPD Sergeant Paul Tuozzolo, a hero whose last words and actions saved the life of his partner. His wife Lisa Tuozzolo, an avid speaker and supporter of her blue family, is also a close cousin of composer Brian Balmages.
