All the While was inspired by a very special person in Tyler Arcari's life. Directors will be happy to find many opportunities for emotional and passionate playing with plenty of fun in the middle for young bands.  All the While gives students a number of chances to work on expressive playing during the beginning and ending sections, and offers a light rhythmic middle section for contrast.
Program Notes:All the While is a bit of a personal piece for me. I was inspired to write it by a very special person in my life. It might be a young-band piece but I feel that it has the capacity for great emotion and passionate playing as well as a little fun in the middle. Sometimes it is difficult to tell people how you feel, even if you have known them for a long time. I think sometimes we say in our heads that “I have felt this way for a long time,” and all the while never being able to put it to words.About the work:The piece opens with a flute and alto saxophone duet. This melody trades off at m. 10 with the addition of new voices and harmonies building in intensity all the way to m. 28. I personally like to use extended phrases in this section, though it looks like it would just utilize four-measure phrases. I feel this adds to the momentum building in dynamic intensity. Measure 28 is a subito change beginning with a prominent Timpani solo. The following section should be played as lightly as possible to avoid a lumbering feel. In mm. 68- 70, the agogic accents should not be very heavy, but more pointed in their momentum to m. 70.Measures 70–76 should be taken with metric liberty bringing out all of the moving parts in the low brass. The low brass really adds the foundation of momentum for the rest of the band here. Measure 76 to the end, though a repetition of material from the beginning, should be played as the high point of the piece and familiar conclusion.

I Love the 207 was composed in February 2010 for a commission by Osumi Symphonic Band in Kyoto. It was first performed on 25 April 2010 by Osumi Symphonic Band, conducted by Masanori Ozaki. This piece begins with an introduction to present the instruments, followed by a light scherzo. The title is an affectionate reference to the commuter rail 207 series of the West Japan Railway Company. When the band started their activity, the 207 series trains began running through the fields next to the building where they practice. The composer hopes that the trains continue to run and bring smiles to people’s faces.

I Love the 207 is in februari 2010 gecomponeerd in opdracht van de Osumi Symphonic Band uit Kyoto, Japan. Dit orkest bracht op 25 april 2010 de première, onder leiding van dirigent Masanori Ozaki. Het werk begint met een inleidingwaarin de instrumenten worden gepresenteerd, gevolgd door een licht scherzo. De titel verwijst naar de forenzentrein van het type 207 van de West Japan Railway Company. Toen het orkest begon, begonnen ook de treinen uit de207-serie door de velden te rijden naast het gebouw waar wordt gerepeteerd. De componist hoopt dat de treinen zullen blijven rijden tot tevredenheid van de mensen die er gebruik van maken.

I Love the 207 wurde im Februar 2010 als Auftragswerk für die Osumi Symphonic Band in Kyoto (Japan) komponiert. Die Urraufführung fand am 25. April 2010 mit der Osumi Symphonic Band, unter der Leitung von Masanori Ozaki, statt. Das Stück beginnt einer Einleitung zur Vorstellung aller Instrumente; dann folgt ein leichtes Scherzo. Der Titel ist eine liebevolle Anspielung auf die Pendlerzüge der Serie 207 der West-Japanischen Eisenbahngesellschaft. Während der Anfangszeit des Blasorchesters begannen die Züge der 207er-Serie die Felder ganz in der Nähe des Proberaums zu durchqueren. Mit diesem Stück will der Komponist seiner Hoffnung Ausdruck verleihen, dass die Züge auchweiterhin fahren und ein Lächeln auf die Gesichter der Menschen zaubern mögen.

Cette pièce a été composée en février 2010 pour honorer une commande de l’Orchestre Vent d’Osumi, Kyoto (Japon). Elle a été créée le 25 avril 2010 par cet orchestre, sous la direction de Masanori Ozaki. I Love the 207 s’ouvre avec une présentation de chacun des pupitres, suivie d’un scherzo léger. Le titre fait affectueusement référence aux trains de banlieue de la série 207 de la West Japan Railway Company. En effet, les débuts de l’orchestre co ncidèrent avec l’introduction de ces trains sur la ligne qui traverse les champs avoisinant le b timent où se déroulent les répétitions. Le compositeur espère que les trains continueront de rouler et de faire sourire les gens.

Questo brano è stato commissionato a Itaru Sakai dall’orchestra di fiati di Osumi in Giappone. I Love the 207 inizia con la presentazione di ogni sezione della banda, seguita da un leggero scherzo.

In effetti, la data di fondazione dell’orchestra di fiati che ha commissionato il brano coincide con la nascita di questi treni che attraversano le campagne e sfrecciano vicino alla sede della banda.

Over the years much has been written and broadcast about Michael Jackson. Naohiro Iwai has created a powerful medley by letting the music of the undisputed ‘King of Pop’ speak for itself. The medley contains the hits Thriller, I’ll BeThere and I Want You Back. Don’t stop ’til you get enough!

Michael Jackson: alles wat over hem kan worden beweerd is al gezegd, geschreven en uitgezonden. Naohiro Iwai laat liever de muziek van deze onbetwistbare ‘King of Pop’ voor zich spreken. Zie hier een overtuigende medley voor harmonieorkestvan de nummers Thriller, I’ll be There en I Want You Back.

Über Michael Jackson wurde schon viel geschrieben, gesagt und gezeigt. Naohiro Iwai lässt die Musik des unangefochtenen King of Pop“ sprechen in seinem überzeugenden Blasorchestermedley aus den Hits Thriller, I’ll be There und I Want You Back.

Michael Jackson, le « roi de la pop », restera un pilier de l’histoire de la musique et une source d’inspiration énorme pour plusieurs générations.

2011 was a disastrous year for Japan: on March 11 the northeast of the country suffered a violent earthquake, which triggered a huge tsunami and caused massive damage to people and the environment. The ensuing problems with the nuclear reactor at Fukushima only increased the misery: a black day in the country’s history…One almost inevitable consequence of such dramatic circumstances is the particular damage suffered by the cultural arts. And so it was in Japan: various high school wind orchestras in the effected areas lost their practice rooms and/or instruments. It will take a long time before the damage suffered is repaired—and it will take great effort to overcome thepsychological effects, too. Focusing on the latter, Yutada Nishida (director of The Bandwagon radio program) asked a few composers for a simple work that could be played by many orchestras. It just so happened that the Osakan Philharmonic Winds (with whom Jan Van der Roost had conducted a concert exclusively of his own works on September 25th) had had a similar idea. This concert saw the baptism of Song of Hope. This piece immediately struck a chord with musicians and audience alike: it begins bleakly in the low register and evolves to a more open, optimistic close. There really is hope for better times!

2011 was een rampzalig jaar voor Japan: op 11 maart teisterde een hevige aardbeving het noordoosten van het land, bracht een enorme tsunami teweeg en veroorzaakte zeer grote schade aan mens en natuur. De daaruit voortvloeiende problemenmet de kernreactor van Fukushima maakten de ellende nog groter: een zwarte pagina in het bestaan van het land ... Dat in dergelijke dramatische omstandigheden ook (en vooral) het culturele bestel een flinke knauw krijgt, ishelaas een haast onvermijdelijke consequentie. Zo ook in Japan: verschillende high school bands in de getroffen regio verloren hun repetitieruimte en/of instrumenten: het zal lang duren voordat de geleden schade is hersteld - enhet zal ook moeite kosten om er mentaal weer bovenop te geraken. Met het oog op dat laatste aspect verzocht Yutaka Nishida (samensteller van het radioprogramma The Bandwagon) een paar componisten om een eenvoudig werkje te schrijvendat speelbaar is door een groot aantal orkesten. Als bij toeval kwam een dergelijk verzoek eveneens van de kant van de OSAKAN Philharmonic Winds, waarmee Jan Van der Roost op 25 september een concert dirigeerde, uitsluitend gewijdaan eigen werken. Daar werd Song of Hope dan ook ten doop gehouden en het werkje sloeg meteen aan bij uitvoerders en publiek: na een tamelijk donkere start in het lage register evolueert het tot een optimistischer en opener slot.Er is inderdaad hoop op betere tijden!

Am 11. März 2011 löste ein heftiges Erdbeben in Japan einen riesigen Tsunami mit desaströsen Folgen für Mensch, Natur auch das kulturelle Leben. Yutaka Nishida vom Radioprogramm The Bandwagon bat daher einige Komponisten, darunter Jan Van der Roost, ein einfaches, für viele Orchester spielbares Werk zu schreiben. Song of Hope beginnt düster im tiefen Register, um sich dann zu einem optimistischeren Schluss hin zu entwickeln. Es gibt sie, die Hoffnung auf bessere Zeiten... !

2011 fut une année tragique pour le Japon : le 11 mars, le nord-est du pays connut un violent tremblement de terre qui entraîna un gigantesque tsunami, occasionnant de nombreuses pertes humaines et de gros dég ts environnementaux. La catastrophe du réacteur nucléaire de Fukushima ajouta encore ces malheurs : une période bien sombre de l’histoire du pays…Des événements aussi dramatiques ont souvent un impact négatif sur les arts culturels. Ce fut le cas au Japon : plusieurs orchestres d’harmonie des collèges des régions affectées perdirent leurs locaux de répétition et/ou leurs instruments. Il faudra beaucoup de temps pour que les choses reviennent la normale - et pour estomperles cicatrices psychologiques. S’intéressant particulièrement celles-ci, Yutada Nishida (directeur du programme radiophonique The Bandwagon) demanda quelques compositeurs d’écrire une œuvre simple pouvant être interprétée par de nombreux orchestres.Il se trouva que l’Harmonie Philharmonique d’Osaka (que Jan Van der Roost avait dirigée lors d’un concert exclusivement composé de ses œuvres, le 25 septembre) avait eu la même idée. Ce concert vit la création mondiale de Song of Hope, qui interpella immédiatement les musiciens et l’auditoire. Cette pièce débute sombrement dans le registre grave avant d’évoluer vers une conclusion plus pétillante, plus optimiste. Il est assurément permis d’espérer des temps meilleurs !

Il 2011 è stato un anno tragico per il Giappone; al devastante terremoto e al non meno catastrofico tsunami dell’11 marzo, sono seguiti i gravi problemi al reattore nucleare di Fukushima. Il settore della cultura in generale, e quello della musica in particolare hanno sofferto immensamente a causa di questi nefasti eventi naturali. Song of Hope è un brano che ha profondamente commosso esecutori e pubblico.Song of Hope inizia nel registro acuto con suoni oscuri e melanconici, ma si sviluppa in un clima di ottimismo, come a voler simboleggiare un futuro più sereno.

Composed by Philip Sparke. Elite Series. Concert Piece. Score Only. Composed 2005. 68 pages. Anglo Music Press #AMP 028-140. Published by Anglo Music Press (BT.AMP-028-140).

English-German-French- Dutch.

The piece reflects the composer's fascination with the origins of the universe and deep space in general. The title comes from a theory, formulated by Pythagoras, that the cosmos was ruled by the same laws he had discovered that govern the ratios of note frequencies of the musical scale. (‘Harmonia’ in Ancient Greek, which means scale or tuning rather than harmony - Greek music was monophonic). He also believed that these ratios corresponded to the distances of the six known planets from the sun and that the planets each produced a musical note which combined to weave a continuous heavenly melody (which, unfortunately, we humans cannot hear). In this work, these six notesform the basis of the sections MUSIC OF THE SPHERES and HARMONIA. The pieces opens with a horn solo called t = 0, a name given by some scientists to the moment of the Big Bang when time and space were created, and this is followed by a depiction of the BIG BANG itself, as the entire universe bursts out from a single point. A slower section follows called THE LONELY PLANET which is a meditation on the incredible and unlikely set of circumstances which led to the creation of the Earth as a planet that can support life, and the constant search for other civilisations elsewhere in the universe. ASTEROIDS AND SHOOTING STARS depicts both the benign and dangerous objects that are flying through space and which constantly threaten our planet, and the piece ends with THE UNKNOWN, leaving in question whether our continually expanding exploration of the universe will eventually lead to enlightenment or destruction.

Dit werk weerspiegelt de fascinatie van de componist voor het heelal. Het begint met een hoornsolo met de naam t = 0, waarmee sommige wetenschappers de oerknal aanduiden. Dan volgt een weergave van de oerknal zelf. Het volgendegedeelte, The Lonely Planet, is een meditatie over het ongelooflijke samenspel van omstandigheden dat leidde tot het ontstaan van de Aarde. Asteroids and Shooting Stars beschrijft objecten in de ruimte. Het werkeindigt met The Unknown, waarmee we in het ongewisse blijven over de gevolgen van onze verdere verkenning van het universum. In 2005 won Philip Sparke met Music of the Spheres de National Band Association/William D.Revelli Memorial Band Composition Contest.

Dieses Werk handelt vom Weltall und unserem Platz im Universum, auf dem Weltbild von Pythagoras basierend. Am einfachsten lässt sich diese außergewöhnliche Komposition wohl als Filmmusik ähnliches Stück beschreiben ? Musik zu einem Science-Fiction-Film eines Ripley Scott oder Steven Spielberg oder auch Musik, wie sie ein John Williams oder Danny Elfman schreiben würde: absolut stimmungsvoll, brillant instrumentiert mit Klangfarben, Strukturen, Effekten und Timbres, gemischt mit fließenden musikalischen Linien, die die Substanz des Themas auf den Punkt treffen. Dieses atemberaubende neue Stück hebt Ihr Blasorchester auf ein höheres Niveau, sowohl im technischen als auchmusikalischen Sinn.

La fresque Music of the Spheres (“La musique des sphères”) souligne la fascination qu’éprouve le compositeur pour les origines de l’univers. L’orchestration est proche de la musique de film. Le climat musical est ample, sonore et contrasté.

Music of the Spheres evidenza il fascino che le origini dell’universo esercitano su Philip Sparke. Il titolo proviene da una teoria del matematico greco Pitagora, secondo la quale il cosmo è retto dalle stesse leggi che governano i rapporti di frequenza tra le note della scala musicale. Questa composizione inizia con un assolo di corno chiamato t = 0, nozione che definisce il momento del big-bang. The Lonely Planet (Il pianeta solitario) è una meditazione sulle circostanze che hanno portato alla creazione della terra. Asteroids and Shooting Stars (Asteroidi e Stelle cadenti) descrive i molteplici oggetti che si muovono nello spazio e che rappresentano unrischio per il nostro pianeta. Le battute finali portano verso l’ignoto (The Unknown) sollevando una domanda la cui risposta resta in sospeso: la nostra continua avanzata nell’esplorazione dell’Universo porter un giorno alla scoperta o alla distruzione?

Zion is the third and final installment of a series of works for Wind Ensemble inspired by national parks in the western United States, collectively called Three Places in the West. As in the other two works (The Yellowstone Fires and Arches), it is my intention to convey more an impression of the feelings I've had in Zion National Park in Utah than an attempt at pictorial description. Zion is a place with unrivalled natural grandeur, being a sort of huge box canyon in which the traveler is constantly overwhelmed by towering rock walls on every side of him -- but it is also a place with a human history, having been inhabited by several tribes of native Americans before the arrival of the Mormon settlers in the mid-19th century. By the time the Mormons reached Utah, they had been driven all the way from New York State through Ohio and, with tragic losses, through Missouri. They saw Utah in general as a place nobody wanted, but they were nonetheless determined to keep it to themselves. Although Zion Canyon was never a Mormon Stronghold, the people who reached it and claimed it (and gave it its present name) had been through extreme trials. It is the religious fervor of these persecuted people that I was able to draw upon in creating Zion as a piece of music. There are two quoted hymns in the work: Zion's Walls (which Aaron Copland adapted to his own purposes in both is Old American Songs and the opera The Tender Land) and Zion's Security, which I found in the same volume in which Copland found Zion's Walls -- that inexhaustible storehouse of 19th-century hymnody called The Sacred Harp. My work opens with a three-verse setting of Zion's Security, a stern tune in F-sharp minor which is full of resolve. (The words of this hymn are resolute and strong, rallying the faithful to be firm, and describing the city of our God they hope to establish). This melody alternates with a fanfare tune, whose origins will be revealed in later music, until the second half of the piece begins: a driving rhythmic ostinato based on a 3/4-4/4 alternating meter scheme. This pauses at its height to restate Zion's Security one more time, in a rather obscure setting surrounded by freely shifting patterns in the flutes, clarinets, and percussion -- until the sun warms the ground sufficiently for the second hymn to appear. Zion's Walls is set in 7/8, unlike Copland's 9/8-6/8 meters (the original is quite strange, and doesn't really fit any constant meter), and is introduced by a warm horn solo. The two hymns vie for attention from here to the end of the piece, with the glowingly optimistic Zion's Walls finally achieving prominence. The work ends with a sense of triumph and unbreakable spirit. Zion was commissioned in 1994 by the wind ensembles of the University of Texas at Arlington, the University of Texas at Austin, and the University of Oklahoma. It is dedicated to the memory of Aaron Copland.

This work for soprano and concert band was originally written for a special occasion: the wedding of one of the composer’s children. It therefore matches another piece written for a similar occasion “I Shall Love But Thee”. The lyrics are from the book Respiro Neve by the internationally renowned art photographer Luca Artioli who possesses poetic talent as well. The first movement is stately and serene as where the contrasting allegro is much more dynamic and cheerful, requiring the solid high register of the singer. The conclusion is festive and radiant, partly thanks to the contribution of a piccolo trumpet! This work is a wonderful addition to the bandrepertoire wanting to perform with an excellent vocal soloist!

Deze compositie voor sopraan en kamerorkest is net als Van der Roosts eerdere werk I Shall Love But Thee oorspronkelijk geschreven voor een speciale gelegenheid: het huwelijk van een van de kinderen van de componist. De teksten komen uit het boek Respiro Neve van de internationaal gerenommeerde kunstfotograaf Luca Artioli, die ook poëtische talenten heeft. Het eerste deel is statig en sereen: het contrasterende allegro is veel dynamischer en opgewekter en vergt heel wat van de soliste, vooral in het hoge register. Het slot is feestelijk en stralend, mede dankzij de inbreng van de piccolotrompet. Dit werk is een aanwinst voor het repertoire van elk goed orkest datmet een uitstekende soliste wil/kan concerteren!

Dieses Werk für Sopran und Blasorchester wurde ursprünglich für einen besonderen Anlass geschrieben: die Hochzeit eines der Kinder des Komponisten. Es passt daher zu einem anderen Stück, das für einen ähnlichen Anlass komponiert wurde: I Shall Love But Thee. Die Texte stammen aus dem Buch Respiro Neve des international renommierten Kunstfotografen Luca Artioli der auch poetisches Talent besitzt. Der erste Satz ist würdevoll und ruhig, wohingegen das gegensätzliche Allegro viel dynamischer und fröhlicher ist und von der Sängerin ein solides hohes Register erfordert. Der Schluss ist festlich und strahlend, auch durch die Verwendung der Piccolotrompete! DiesesWerk ist eine wunderbare Ergänzung zum Repertoire für Blasorchester, die mit einer hervorragenden Gesangssolistin auftreten möchten!

Cette œuvre pour soprano et orchestre d’harmonie fut écrite, l’origine, pour une occasion bien spéciale : le mariage d’un des enfants du compositeur. Elle s’apparente ainsi une autre pièce écrite pour une occasion semblable, I Shall Love But Thee. Les paroles sont tirées du livre Respiro Neve de Luca Artioli, photographe artistique de renommée internationale qui jouit également d’un talent poétique. Le premier mouvement est majestueux et serein, tandis que l’allegro, très contrasté, est bien plus dynamique et joyeux, et exige un solide registre aigu de la part de la chanteuse. La conclusion est festive et éclatante, en partie gr ce la présence d’une trompettepiccolo. Cette pièce forme ainsi une merveilleuse option pour tout bon orchestre désireux de se produire avec une excellente soliste !

De teksten komen uit het boek Respiro Neve van de internationaal gerenommeerde kunstfotograaf Luca Artioli, die ook poëtische talenten heeft. Het eerste deel is statig en sereen: het contrasterende allegro is veel dynamischer en opgewekter en vergt heel wat van de soliste, vooral in het hoge register. Het slot is feestelijk en stralend, mede dankzij de inbreng van de piccolotrompet. Dit werk is een aanwinst voor het repertoire van elk goed orkest datmet een uitstekende soliste wil/kan concerteren!

Dieses Werk für Sopran und Blasorchester wurde ursprünglich für einen besonderen Anlass geschrieben: die Hochzeit eines der Kinder des Komponisten. Es passt daher zu einem anderen Stück, das für einen ähnlichen Anlass komponiert wurde: I Shall Love But Thee. Die Texte stammen aus dem Buch Respiro Neve des international renommierten Kunstfotografen Luca Artioli der auch poetisches Talent besitzt. Der erste Satz ist würdevoll und ruhig, wohingegen das gegensätzliche Allegro viel dynamischer und fröhlicher ist und von der Sängerin ein solides hohes Register erfordert. Der Schluss ist festlich und strahlend, auch durch die Verwendung der Piccolotrompete! DiesesWerk ist eine wunderbare Ergänzung zum Repertoire für Blasorchester, die mit einer hervorragenden Gesangssolistin auftreten möchten!

Cette œuvre pour soprano et orchestre d’harmonie fut écrite, l’origine, pour une occasion bien spéciale : le mariage d’un des enfants du compositeur. Elle s’apparente ainsi une autre pièce écrite pour une occasion semblable, I Shall Love But Thee. Les paroles sont tirées du livre Respiro Neve de Luca Artioli, photographe artistique de renommée internationale qui jouit également d’un talent poétique. Le premier mouvement est majestueux et serein, tandis que l’allegro, très contrasté, est bien plus dynamique et joyeux, et exige un solide registre aigu de la part de la chanteuse. La conclusion est festive et éclatante, en partie gr ce la présence d’une trompettepiccolo. Cette pièce forme ainsi une merveilleuse option pour tout bon orchestre désireux de se produire avec une excellente soliste !

Composer Modest Moussorgsky (1839-1881) came from the prosperous environment of Russian nobility. In 1865, after his officer’s education, he joined the guard’s regiment in St. Petersburg. Here he met a number of well-known colleague-composers, including Balakirev, Cui, Rimsky- Korsakov and Borodin. They strived to develop a “classical style” of composing while at the same time retaining a strong Russian influence. His opera Boris Godunov tells the tale of Boris, who with the support of the people, declared himself Tsar, but totally fell short of the role. The opera became popular in the re-orchestrated version produced by Rimsky-Korsakov in 1896. Tohru Takahashi has usedthe beautiful musical themes of this opera in Selections from Boris Godunov - a captivating work for concert band.

Moussorgsky� ��s opera Boris Godunov - gebaseerd op het gelijknamige drama van Aleksandr Pushkin (waarin Boris Godunov zichzelf met steun van het volk uitroept tot tsaar, maar in deze rol compleet tekortschiet) - werd populairin de bewerking die Rimsky-Korsakov in 1896 maakte. De oorspronkelijke partituur van Moussorgsky staat echter vol originele vondsten en vooruitstrevende harmonische, melodische en instrumentale details. Tohru Takahashi gebruiktede prachtige muzikale thematiek van deze opera in Selections from Boris Godunov - een boeiend werk voor harmonieorkest.

Se in Meisterwerk, die Oper Boris Godunow, schrieb Mussorgski auf der Grundlage des gleichnamigen Dramas von Alexander Puschkin. In diesem Stück erklärt sich Boris Godunow mit Unterstützung des Volkes selbst zum Zaren, versagt aber kläglich in dieser Rolle. Das Werk ist voll von einzigartigen Ideen und damals sehr innovativen harmonischen, melodischen und instrumentalen Details. Tohru Takahashi verwendete in Selections from Boris Godunov die wunderschönen musikalischen Themen der Oper - ein bezauberndes Werk für Blasorchester.

Com positeur essentiellement autodidacte, Modest Moussorgski (1839-1881) descend d’une famille aisée de la noblesse russe. Son chef-d’oeuvre lyrique Boris Godounov est basé sur la tragédie d’Alexandre Pouchkine, dans laquelle Boris Godounov, tsar autoproclamé et soutenu par le peuple faillit son rôle. En 1896, l’opéra connaît le succès dans une version retouchée par Rimski-Korsakov. La version originale de Moussorgski contient cependant des idées uniques, des détails harmoniques, mélodiques et instrumentaux innovateurs. Pour réaliser cette pièce captivante pour Orchestre d’Harmonie, Tohru Takahashi a rassemblé les superbes thèmes musicaux de l’opéra.

Inspi red by the memory of an influential music educator, Carol Brittin Chambers has woven a multitude of grooves, colors, and uplifting themes into To Create a Voice. Chambers has attempted to convey distinct moods and emotions that this educator tried to instill in his students. In honor of this dynamic teacher, you will hear Hot Cross Buns cleverly placed throughout the composition.
To Create a Voice was commissioned by the Valley Concert Band in Stockton, California. The piece premiered in October 2017, in memory and celebration of Chris Anderson, a local musician and educator.When writing this piece, I tried to convey certain moods and emotions throughout: soulful at the beginning with calm woodwind chords and solo trombone; increased energy throughout the various sections of the piece; exploration of different grooves and colors; an uplifting, emotional ending that leaves the listener with a sense of how positive and loving Chris was.This piece is largely inspired by a specific quote from Chris:Most people would consider the sounds students first make on their instruments to be cringe-worthy, but to me that’s music to my ears, because that’s the first time students put a voice to their instrument. Over time those voices become stronger; they become clear, more confident, and get to a point where they use those voices to communicate with each other, and to their audiences.To relate to the first notes on the instrument idea, I used motifs based on the first notes most beginners ever play, do-re-mi, which are introduced at the beginning of the piece with the trombone solo, Chris’ instrument. During the section at m. 15, the brass introduce a chorale that I named Chris’ Theme while the woodwinds keep reminding us of do-re-mi. Later in the piece (mm. 71 and 79), I use these notes again, but in reverse, which becomes a reference to the first song most beginners learn, Hot Cross Buns. This section is also meant to portray Chris’ quirky and joking side. In mm. 75 and 83, Chris’ Theme presents itself again a couple of times in response to Hot Cross Buns.Toward the end, at the uplifting moment (m. 97), do-re-mi is heard again, but this time in harmony with mi-fa-sol. This represents the ultimate satisfaction we all feel as musicians when we have finally progressed enough to play in harmony with others. The half-time feeling in 3 at that moment also has significance, relating (rhythmically) to those important three notes again.I really hope you enjoy performing and listening to this piece as much as I have enjoyed creating it!

“Don†™t listen to anyone’s advice, but listen to the lessons of the wind passing and telling the history of the world.” Claude Debussy Since the dawn of time, the wind has played an important role in all civilisations. Worshipped as a deity, “mastermind” of poetry, driving force, or heaven’s messenger, the wind took on the most varied shapes according to the era and people. In Claude Debussy’s time, music listened to the voice of nature, and imagination found its primary rights again. This importance of wind was the inspiration for Maxime Aulio’s work Whispering Wind with its suspended atmospheres, vaporous lines and luminous colours. The wind caresses the canvas. A fascinatingnew work for concert band.

“Luister niet naar adviezen van wie dan ook, maar naar de lessen van de wind die voorbij waait en de geschiedenis van de wereld vertelt.” (Claude Debussy) Sinds het begin der tijden heeft de wind in alle beschavingen een belangrijkerol gespeeld. In de tijd van Claude Debussy gaf muziek het geluid van de natuur weer en stond verbeeldingskracht in hoog aanzien. Het is deze Franse sensibiliteit die Maxime Aulio’s werk Whispering Wind kenmerkt, met vluchtigelijnen en heldere kleuren. De wind raakt het doek, suggereert en roept slechts op, maar met een indrukwekkende precisie. Een mooie en bijzondere compositie!

Seit Menschengedenken hat der Wind immer eine wichtige Rolle in allen Zivilisationen gespielt. Vor allem auch zu Lebzeiten von Claude Debussy hörte die Musik auf die Stimme der Natur. Jedes Instrument schien Symbol eines Bildes oder einer Vorstellung zu sein. Genau diese typisch französische Empfindsamkeit zeichnet auch deutlich Maxime Aulios Whispering Wind mit seinen spannungsreichen Stimmungen, nebelhaften Linien und leuchtenden Farben aus. Ein sehr ausdruckvolles Werk!

L« N’écoutez les conseils de personne, sinon du vent qui passe et nous raconte l’histoire du monde. » Claude Debussy / Depuis la nuit des temps, le vent a toujours occupé une place importante dans les civilisations. Dieu vénéré ou égérie des poètes, force motrice ou messager aérien, il emprunte toutes les formes, selon les peuples ou les époques. Les chemins du vent sont ceux qui ne sont pas tracés d’avance ; ils nous racontent mille histoires venues d’ailleurs. Les murmures du vent sont les sentiers diaphanes de l’ me, les couleurs de l’éphémèr e, la poésie des sons. Avec Claude Debussy, la musique écoutait les voix de la nature et l'imagination retrouvait auprès d'elleses droits primitifs. Chaque instrument semblait fait d’impressions et de suggestions. La partition cessait d'être développement pour devenir enveloppement. C’est cette sensibilité toute française que Debussy contribua façonner, que nous retrouvons dans Whispering Wind (“Les Murmures du Vent”) de Maxime Aulio. Des climats en suspens, des traits vaporeux, des couleurs lumineuses. Le vent caresse la toile, suggère, évoque seulement, mais avec une éblouissante précision. Le vent est une parole nomade qui voyage dans notre intérieur très longtemps.

“Non ascoltate i suggerimenti degli altri, ma ascoltate le lezioni del vento che passa raccontando la storia del mondo.” Claude Debussy Le strade del vento sono quelle che non sono tracciate in precedenza, ci raccontato mille storie di altri luoghi. I mormorii del vento sono i sentieri diafani dell’anima, i colori dell’effimero, la poesia dei suoni. Con Claude Debussy, la musica ascoltava le voci della natura. Ritroviamo questa sensibilit tutta francese che Debussy contribuì a formare in Whispering Wind (Il mormorio del vento), brano del giovane compositore francese Maxime Aulio. Tratti vaporosi, colori luminosi, il vento che accarezza, suggerisce, evoca con sorprendenteprecisione. Il vento è una parola nomade che viaggia a lungo nel nostro interiore.
