A truly masterful fantasy on an English folk song, this piece shows the exceptional musical development found in many of the greatest classical symphonies. The fantasy is roughly in the style of the classical rondo (ABACA) and features fine counterpoint and engaging melodies. This piece can be played in an orchestral and quartet setting and is both challenging and fun to play.
My Fantasy on The Wee Cooper of Fife was one of four such fantasies I wrote for my daughter April when she was studying the violin, and I had hopes that when she reached the age of wisdom and proficiency she would play them with her friends. Life being what is it, she eventually gave up the violin and chose a completely different career for herself-though we are still the best of friends! I found the song in a collection of folk songs for children where it is called Rissoldy Rossoldy. Except for a few notes, the song was almost identical to the English folksong The Wee Cooper of Fife, which begins: There was a Wee Cooper named Fife / nickity nackety roo noo roo / He took him to wed a gentle wife / nickity nackety roo noo roo / She would na card she would na spin / for fear 't would harm her gentle skin.... The tune is rollicking and words are amusing, and yes, eventually they worked out their problems! The Fantasy is roughly in the style of the classical rondo, which is ABACA coda, such as one finds in the last movements of some of Haydn's later symphonies. This composition may be performed by a string orchestra or solo string quartet. - Douglas Townsend.

Fantasy for Marimba was commissioned by the outstanding Japanese marimba player, Fumito Nunoya. Although it is written in concerto style, the piano not only accompanies the solo marimba but also plays an important part in the development of the work. The piece is written in four movements, played without a break: Allegro, Andante misterioso, Tempo rubato and Allegro energico. Also available for Marimbaphone and Piano.

In Fantasy for Marimba neemt de marimbafoon als solo-instrument een centrale plaats in, maar ook de piano speelt een belangrijke rol. Het werk bestaat uit vier samenhangende delen: een Allegro, een Andante misterioso, een Tempo rubato en tot slot als hartstochtelijke finale een Allegro energico. Ook verkrijgbaar voor marimba en piano.

In Fantasy for Marimba wird das Marimbaphon als Soloinstrument gewürdigt, aber auch das Blasorchester spielt eine wichtige Rolle. Das Werk besteht aus vier zusammenhängenden Sätzen: Es beginnt mit einem Allegro, in dem Marimbaphon und Orchester zwei Themen präsentieren, die im darauff olgenden Andante misterioso weiterentwickelt werden. Im dritten Satz, der mit Tempo rubato überschrieben ist, hat das Blasorchester eine Atempause“, während das Marimbaphon ein kadenzartiges Solo vorträgt. Der letzte Satz, ein Allegro energico, führt das Werk mit leidenschaftlicher Intensität zu einem großen Finale.

Bien que la structure de cette fantaisie s’apparente celle d’un concerto, le pianiste n’est absolument pas réduit un rôle d’accompagnateur, mais participe pleinement au développement de l’œuvre. Fantasy for Marimba est divisé en quatre mouvements qui s’enchaînent sans interruption : Allegro - Andante misterioso - Tempo rubato - Allegro energico.

The Austrian composer Franz Schubert wrote his famous song The Trout (D550) in 1817. This song reappeared as the basis of a set of variations for the fourth movement of the renowned Trout Quintet, so-named as a reference to the title of the song. Robert van Beringen used the lively theme for The Trout Fantasy, which he has written for a five-part recorder ensemble.

In 1817 schreef de Oostenrijkse componist Franz Schubert het bekende lied Die Forelle (opus 32). Hij hergebruikte het in 1819 voor het vierde deel van zijn beroemde Forellenkwintet, waarvan de titel op het lied is gebaseerd. Robert van Beringen gebruikte het levendige thema voor The Trout Fantasy, een stuk voor vijfstemmig blokfluitensemble.

Im Jahre 1817 schrieb der österreichische Komponist Franz Schubert das bekannte Lied Die Forelle (opus 332). 1819 verwendete er dieses Lied erneut im vierten Satz seines berühmten Forellenquintetts, dessen Name auf den Titel des Liedes zurückgeht. Robert van Beringen verwendete das lebhafte Thema für The Trout Fantasy (Forellen-Fantasie), die er für ein fünfstimmiges Blockflötenensemble schrieb.

Le compositeur autrichien Franz Schubert a écrit sa célèbre mélodie Die Forelle D 550 (La Truite) en 1817. Ce lied est cependant pleinement mis en évidence dans les variations du quatrième mouvement extrait du Quintette de la Truite, ainsi nommé en référence au titre initial. Robert van Beringen a repris ce thème pétillant dans un arrangement, The Trout Fantasy, écrit pour quintette de fl tes bec.

Welcome to Ireland, the country where the traditional music is as varied as the landscape! Marc Jeanbourquinâ??s Irish Fantasy starts in a carefree and lively fashion from County Galway, then strolls through the moorlands of Kerry in a slower, lyrical movement with room for a solo, and comes to rest in Cork, with high-spirited and up-tempo folk tunes, and an accompaniment reminiscent of the bagpipes.

Ierland heeft - naast een veelvoud aan prachtige landschappen - een rijke muzikale traditie. In dit werk verwerkte de componist beide elementen en steekt van wal met een indruk van het opgewekte County Galway om dan door de venen van Kerry te wandelen, begeleid door een langzame optionele solo voor trombone en trompet. In Cork mag de doedelzak natuurlijk niet ontbreken en breekt een heus dansfeest los met de typische Ierse folkmuziek!

Willkommen in Irland, dem Land, in dem die traditionelle Musik so vielfältig ist wie seine Landschaften_x001C_! Marc Jeanbourquins Irische Fantasieâ?? beginnt in einem unbeschwerten, lebhaften Stil im County Galway, streift dann die Moorlandschaften von Kerry in einem langsameren, liedhaften Satz, der Raum fu?r ein Solo bietet, und endet in Cork, wo u?bermu?tige, schwungvolle irische Folk-Melodien mit an Dudelsack erinnernden Begleitungen angesagt sind.

Bienvenue en Irlande ! Le pays où la musique traditionnelle est aussi riche et variée que ses paysages. Avec le premier mouvement de Irish Fantasy, Marc Jeanbourquin propose de commencer la visite par le comté de Galway, dans un style léger et dansant. Le voyage se poursuit par le comté de Kerry avec ses landes et ses lagunes, illustré dans le deuxième mouvement par une berceuse lente et cantabile, qui laisse au chef dâ??orchestre la possibilité de mettre en avant un soliste de lâ??ensemble. Mais déj , le périple se termine par le comté de Cork. On retrouve ici des mélodies sautillantes et entraînantes. Bon voyage musical avec Irish Fantasy.

Lâ?? Irlanda vanta una ricca tradizione di musica e canti tradizionali. Con il primo movimento, Marc Jeanbourquin propone di iniziare la visita alla contea di Galway in uno spirito leggero e danzante. Il viaggio prosegue nella contea di Kerry, con le sue lande e lagune, descritte in musica nel secondo movimento da una ninna-nanna lenta e cantabile, che d spazio a un assolo. Il viaggio _x001E_nisce nella contea di Cork dove ritroviamo melodie vivaci e coinvolgenti.
