Music for a Noble Gathering captures the pomp and dignity of a regal celebration. The composition opens with a percussion flourish to a fanfare. Perform this passage at a stately tempo with marked separation. A legato, lyrical theme appears (m. 17) that contrasts the opening passage. Emphasize the ritard and crescendo in m. 24 in preparation for the return of the opening theme (m. 25) that completes the A section. Although thematically related to the fanfare, the B section (m. 35) provides contrast in tempo, key, and style. Strive for a connected and sustained presentation with careful attention to the shaping of the phrases. Proper balance between the melody and countermelody at m. 45 is paramount. The climax in m. 53 quickly subsides but immediately rebuilds for a lively percussion feature. The restatement of the A section (m. 61) leads to a final climax (m. 91), a brief coda (m. 93) and a dynamic closure. William Harbinson is Professor Emeritus and former Dean of the Hayes School of Music at Appalachian State University. He has received nine J.W. Pepper Editors' Choice Awards that identify the very best of the new music available. His compositions for band appear on contest/festival literature lists of several states and are performed worldwide.  .

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!

Der Name dieses Werkes spielt auf den Löwen, das Wahrzeichen der Stadt Singapur, an. Philip Sparkes Komposition ist in der ABA-Form eines flotten Marsches geschrieben. Eine Eröffnungsfanfare führt zu einer munteren Marschmelodie, die vom gesamten Blasorchester aufgenommen wird. Dann kündigt ein Tonartwechsel den legato gespielten Trioteil an, bevor das Hauptthema in veränderter Form zurückkehrt. Löwenstark!

Singapura (du sanskrit singa, lion et pura, ville) est le nom malais de l’île de Singapour. Le symbole de cette cité-État est un animal tête de lion et au corps de poisson, le Merlion. Il garde l’embouchure du fleuve Singapour. Lion City Festival est une marche rapide, structurée selon la forme ABA. La fanfare d’ouverture chemine vers un air de marche, vif et gai, interprété par l’orchestre entier. Un changement de tonalité annonce le trio. Les lignes sont jouées avec le phrasé fl uide du legato, puis laissent la place au retour du thème premier, réexposé dans diverses formes.

Singapura è il nome malese dell’isola di Singapore. Il simbolo di questa citt -stato è appunto il leone. The Lion City Festival è una marcia rapida strutturata nella forma ABA. La fanfara di apertura accompagna una melodia di marcia gaia e vivace interpretata dall’intero organico. Un cambiamento di tonalit annuncia il trio, prima che il tema principale ritorni in forma diversa.

Fanfare for Korea was commissioned by the first Korea International Concert band Festival, which took place in 2010, on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the Korean War. In this triumphant fanfare, composer Jacob de Haan uses the melody of Arirang, the most popular folk song in Korea. The Korea Festival Concert band performed the première at the festival, conducted by de Haan himself.

Fanfare for Korea is gecomponeerd in opdracht van het eerste Korea International Wind Band Festival. Dit festival vond plaats in 2010. Zestig jaar eerder brak in juni 1950 de oorlog uit in Korea. Ter gelegenheid van de herdenkinghiervan schreef Jacob de Haan deze compositie. In deze fanfare verwerkte hij de melodie van Arirang, het populairste en bekendste volkslied van Korea. Het Korea Festival Wind Orchestra verzorgde in Seoel de première tijdenshet festival onder leiding van Jacob de Haan zelf.

Fanfare for Korea wurde im Auftrag des 1. Koreanischen Internationalen Blasorchester-Festivals, das anlässlich des 60-jährigen Gedenkens an den Korea-Krieg stattfand, in Auftrag gegeben. Jacob de Haan verarbeitete in seinem Werk die Melodie von Arirang, dem beliebtesten und bekanntesten Volkslied Koreas. Das Korea Festival Orchestra sorgte während des Festivals in Seoul für die Uraufführung unter der Leitung von Jacob de Haan. Beim Abschlusskonzert in der Kriegs-Gedenkstätte wurde das Werk vom Asian Wind Orchestra unter der Leitung von Dennis Johnson gespielt.

Fanfa re for Korea est une oeuvre de commande pour le premier Festival International d’Orchestres Vent de Corée, qui s’est tenu Séoul, en juin 2010, dans le cadre des cérémonies commémoratives du 60e anniversaire de la guerre de Corée (juin 1950-juillet 1953). Jacob de Haan a choisi de b tir son oeuvre autour de l’air d’Arirang, la plus connue et la plus appréciée des mélodies coréennes traditionnelles. La création mondiale a eu lieu Séoul, par le Korea Festival Wind Orchestra, sous la direction de Jacob de Haan.

Perfect for combined concerts or blended-level ensembles, Festival Fanfare provides a celebration of music where all students can participate. The grade 2.5 piece can be performed alone or with beginning-level parts that use only simple rhythms on open strings or first-finger notes. Set in G major with just a little easy shifting in first violin and bass, the piece features energetic accompaniment patterns and open-string double stops for a big fanfare of sound. A slower middle section introduces a solemn moment of reflection before the joyous theme returns for a grand finale.

Castl e Creek was written by Dan Welcher in celebration of the Aspen Music Festival's 40th anniversary, and served as a special tribute to the Festival's longtime President, Gordon Hardy. Castle Creek itself is a tributary of the Roaring Fork River on which the Aspen Music Festival campus (as well as Hardy's home) is built. Gordon's initials (G.A.H.) are used as the musical basis for the fanfare, which is centered on the ascending pitches G, A and B, and reflects the upward motion and positivity of the Aspen Music Festival itself. For advanced players. Duration: 5'.
Program Note by the ComposerThere is no “secret program” or hidden meaning in this lively, five-minute work: it was intended as a celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Aspen Music Festival, and as a special tribute to the Festival’s longtime President, Gordon Hardy. The title CASTLE CREEK refers to a tributary of the Roaring Fork River on which the Aspen Music Festival campus (as well as Mr. Hardy’s home) is built.The work pays homage to Gordon Hardy by utilizing his initials (“G.A.H.”) as a musical motive: the three letters correspond to the pitches G, A, and B). This three-note group forms the basis of the fanfare that opens the work, and it also serves as an ostinato, a bass line, and a general means of organizing the work’s tonal centers. Because the three notes are in ascending order, the ever-upward direction of the Aspen Music Festival and the positive energy of Gordon Hardy are readily evident.The athletic fanfare that begins the work (marked “noble, but energetic”) is scored for brass and percussion alone, and may be played as a separate piece. The rest of the ensemble joins at the conclusion of the fanfare, and a spirited tune in 9/8 issues from the woodwinds. After this is given a thorough workout, a middle section in faster 3/4 time provides machine-like energy. Perhaps it is the energy of the Festival, in high gear. At the height of this, the music of the fanfare returns in broad open notes in the brass, with the machine still pulsing in support. The overture ends in a burst of motion, with the three-note motive in its highest transposition.My colleague and former student Paul Bissell made this excellent transcription from the orchestral original.

Festival Prelude 'Ad Excel' was commissioned by the AD Concert Band, from Solihull in the UK, to celebrate their 40th Anniversary in2016. The title, Ad Excel, is a play on words: it is Latin for 'to excel' but also celebrates the bands 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, bringsthe work to a close.

A showcase piece for the young band that can be used at contest or festival performance, Jubilant Festival will impress the judges for sure!
