For more than 40 years now, Tomi Makela's book has been the most comprehensive original publication in German on the life and works of Jean Sibelius. It contains many little-known illustrations as well as iconographic material found nowhere else. An extensive depiction of the most important currents in the Sibelius reception of the 20th century as well as a chronology of Sibelius's life close the lengthy volume. Poesie in der Luft is an attempt to grasp Sibelius and his compositional legacy from the perspective of his cultivated background and his regional origins, which were far from provincial. The author sketches the highly complex psychogram of a modern artist. The composer's self-discovery can easily be compared with that of other artists of his generation. Makela's results oblige us to rethink the depiction of Sibelius as a kind of exotic naif and nature lover, and to see in a new light his creative individuality, which consciously guided itself on the Central European currents of the time. In the focus of the author's commentaries on the works are the symphonic, chamber-music and vocal genres, with which Sibelius obtained international recognition.Tomi Makela locates Sibelius and his compositions firmly in the social and aesthetic turmoil of his time. This impressive book is not only an extremely thorough and accomplished presentation of empirical research, but also an exciting and vigorously argued critical study of a composer whose stature has been rising ever higher in recent years.

This work for solo violin was commissioned by American Violinist Wendy Case for her CD of works for solo violin by living composers titled The Tiger and The Clover released in February 2022 by the label Blue Griffin. Just as Wendy proposed this new work, I heard the news that the Polish poet Adam Zagajewski who I had met through mutual friends, had died. I had long admired his essays that thoughtfully and with grace and ease, merged the past with the present in the way that only a poet can, lifting the reader onto a plain of images, thoughts and words that conjure seamless journeys through time, space and the imagination. His essays often refer to the music of Bach and I found myself writing this piece inhabited by the physical pleasure of playing Bach's suites for Lute transposed for the guitar. The piece revolves around a simple repetitive semiquaver motif playing with the Aeolian mode starting on G. The motif ascends and descends playing with and against the low G string to extend itself away from the home mode, then returning and gradually extending into quavers to reach the key of E major while hinting at A minor. The repetitive nature of the piece invites the player to explore variations in sound quality and dynamics and to enjoy the effect of the notes playing against each other as they rise and fall away but always maintain a constant tempo and rhythm.

Composed by John Emerson Blackstone. Score Only. 32 pages. Gobelin Music Publications #GOB 000513-140. Published by Gobelin Music Publications (BT.GOB-000513-140).

Gate 11 is a piece by John Emerson, inspired by the mood of a bustling airport in which passengers dream quietly of the loved ones that await at the end of their journey. Equally accessible to young and old alike, Gate 11 is an atmospheric piece ideal for concert performance.

Music van John Miles was een favoriet nummer van Blackstone. Met totaal andere noten maar in dezelfde vorm sfeer schreef de componist zelf Gate 11. De compositie refereert aan de altijd weer gejaagde en luidruchtige taferelen op een luchthaven en dan vooral bij het inchecken. Toch zijn er ook andere passagiers die geduldig wachten en in stilte wegdromen… Al uitkijkend naar de ontmoeting met een langverwachte geliefde... Gate 11: afwisselend om te spelen en prachtig om naar te luisteren!

Mit völlig anderen Noten, aber derselben Form wie sein Lieblingslied Music von John Miles schreib John Emerson Blackstone dieses attraktive Werk für Jung und Alt. Der Titel Gate 11 ist ein Verweis auf die Atmosphäre an einem Flughafen, wo einerseits Hektik herrscht, es andererseits aber auch Menschen gibt, die still vor sich hin träumen von geliebten Menschen, die am Ende ihrer Reise auf sie warten.

Music de John Miles était l’un des tubes préférés de John Emerson Blackstone. Avec des lignes mélodiques différentes mais en conservant la même structure afin de recréer une atmosphère identique, il composa Gate 11. Cette œuvre se réfère des scènes presque toujours bruyantes dans un aéroport, en particulier lors de l’enregistrement. Ces moments de grande agitation cèdent cependant leur place des motifs plus doux, incitant la rêverie. Une invitation au voyage ne pas décliner !

John Emerson Blacksone ha scritto questo piacevole brano con note diverse, ma con la stessa forma della sua canzone preferita, Music di John Miles. Il titolo, Gate 11, riporta all’atmosfera in un aeroporto, dove storie e destini si intrecciano in un’atmosfera frenetica ma capace anche di dare spazio a momenti più rilassati, che invitano a sognare. Un invito a viaggiare che non si può rifiutare!

Can't Take My Eyes Off You war ein Riesenerfolg für das Duo Bob Crewe und Bob Gaudio. Bekannte Künstler, wie unter anderem Diana Ross, Gloria Gaynor und später die Pet Shop Boys, brachten den Titel über drei Jahrzehnte hinweg immer wieder in die Hitparaden und die Menschen in den Discos zum Tanzen. Toshio Mashima bearbeitete den unwiderstehlich flotten Popsongs für Blasorchester. Bei diesem Titel kann niemand still sitzen!

Les auteurs-compositeurs Bob Crewe et Bob Gaudio ont formé un tandem couronné de succès. Dans les années 60 et 70, ils signent de nombreux tubes pour Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons dont l’immense standard de l’année 1967, Can’t Take My Eyes Off You. Toshio Mashima signe cet arrangement entraînant pour Orchestre d’Harmonie.

There have been many arrangements of Beatles’ songs for various kinds of ensembles, so rather than just producing a further medley of Beatles’ hits, Peter Kleine Schaars has added a new twist to them with this excellent new work. All You Need Is Love and With a Little Help from my Friends pass by in a swing march, Michelle sounds like a newly composed ballad and When I’m Sixty Four is played in Dixie swing style. A Hard Day’s Night is transformed into a funk theme with a samba interlude, Let It Be into a slow march, and Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da in a rock beat. Experience The Beatles as you have never heard them before.

Composed by Tom Brevik. Set (Score & Parts). 50 pages. Gobelin Music Publications #GOB 000314-030. Published by Gobelin Music Publications (BT.GOB-000314-030).

The composer:
1st movement: Reflections by the Fjord.
Overlooking one of the mighty fjords of Norway, my mind and thoughts are with an old religious Norwegian folk-tune, with words by the famous parson Peter Dass.
The majestic fanfare-likeopening reflects the power of God our Father, the choral itself heard for the first time on flugelhorn. The choral is repeated a few times, separated only by some short variations. The movement ends in thriumph, with fanfares and the choral broughttogether.
2nd movement: Reflections in the Old Church.
In this movement my associations of a summer day, finding myself alone in an old deserted stone church. From the old walls I hear folk songs, perhaps like the ones sung in the church bypoor fishermen and farmers in days gone by. Suddenly the light from the sun breakes through the small circular window above the altar, and a lovely melody is heard, before the original figures take us to the end of the movement.
3rd movement:Festive Reflections.
Any festive occasion can be reflected in this movement. from the bonfire at midsummer-night to the children celebrating the return of the sun in the northern part of Norway. from the traditional sleigh-riding at Christmas tothe Celebrations of the National Day on the 17th of May each year.

De componist:
1e deel: Reflections by the Fjord.
Uitkijkend over een van de machtige fjorden van Noorwegen, zijn mijn geest en gedachten bij een oude, religieuze Noorse folk-melodie, met woorden van de beroemde dominee Peter Dass.
Demajestueuze fanfare-achtige opening weerspiegelt de kracht van God, onze Vader. Het koraal wordt als eerste gespeeld door de bugel.
Het koraal wordt een aantal keren herhaald, slechts onderbroken door enkele korte variaties. Het deel eindigttriomfantelijk, met fanfares en het koraal bij elkaar gebracht.
2e deel: Reflections in the Old Church.
In dit deel mijn denkbeelden van een zomerse dag, ik zie mezelf staan in een oude, verlaten stenen kerk. Weerkaatsend tussen de oudemuren hoor ik volksliederen, misschien wel zoals die in de kerk gezongen werden door arme vissers en boeren in vervlogen tijden.
Plotseling breekt het licht van de zon door de kleine ronde ramen boven het altaar, en ik hoor een prachtigemelodie, voordat het oorspronkelijke thema ons naar het einde van het deel voert.
3e deel: Festive Reflections.
Feestelijke gelegenheden kunnen worden weerspiegeld in dit deel, van het nachtelijk midzomer vuur tot de kinderen die deterugkeer van de zon in het noordelijk deel van Noorwegen vieren, van het traditionele sleerijden met Kerstmis tot aan de viering van de Nationale Dag op 17 mei van elk jaar toe.

Bolero was originally written as a ballet for a famous ballerina and achieved great success on the stage. Nowadays the ballet itself is only rarely performed and even though Ravel thought the orchestra would seldom play it, it has become one of the best-loved pieces for the concert stage. This arrangement by Philip Sparke keeps very close to the original score in this melodically and rhythmically unique work.

Ravel schreef Bolero oorspronkelijk als ballet voor een beroemde danseres. Als zodanig was het ook bijzonder succesvol. Tegenwoordig wordt het als ballet nog zelden opgevoerd. Hoewel Ravel dacht dat het als orkestwerk nietin de smaak zou vallen, is het toch een van de geliefdste titels voor op het concertpodium geworden. De bewerking van Philip Sparke blijft dicht bij de originele partituur van dit melodisch en ritmisch bijzondere werk.

Bolero wurde ursprünglich als Ballett für eine berühmte Tanzerin geschrieben und feierte sensationelle Erfolge auf der Tanzbühne. Heute wird das Ballett nur noch selten aufgeführt und obwohl Ravel dachte, dass Orchester das Werk nur selten spielen würden, ist es zu einem der beliebtesten Titel für die Konzertbühne geworden.Philip Sparkes Bearbeitung halt sich nah an der Original-Partitur dieses melodisch und rhythmisch einzigartigen Werkes.

Le dernier ballet de Ravel, Bolero, fut ecrit et cree en 1928. Aujourd'hui, le ballet est rarement represente, et, bien que Ravel ait craint que les orchestres refusent d'interpreter son oeuvre, celle-ci est devenue l'une des plus populaires dans les salles de concert. Le Bolero est peut-etre unique en son genre, dans le sens ou l'orchestration geniale de Ravel est encore plus importante que les elements melodiques, rythmiques et harmoniques de l'oeuvre ; c'est pourquoi Philip Sparke n'a pas vu l'utilite d'en produire une version simplifiee ou reduite mais a essaye de respecter au mieux la partition de Ravel. Laissez-vous seduire !

Il Bolero composto da Maurice Ravel nel 1929 e per eccellenza la musica per balletto divenuta celebre anche come pezzo concertistico. E' sicuramente il bolero piu noto mai composto, nonche l'opera piu popolare di Ravel, commissionatagli da Ida Rubinstein, una ballerina russa. Philip Sparke ha rispettato la geniale orchestrazione di Ravel creando uno straordinario arrangiamento per banda.

Magnificat is a tribute to the unaccompanied motets of favourite composers from several eras - in particular those of Dufay, the Eton Choirbook, Robert Carver, Lassus and Bach. The work is therefore full of contrast in texture, harmony, mood and pacing, and exploits the resources of unaccompanied chorus in a manner not only analogous to those already mentioned but also to ensemble or orchestral writing. Naturally - given the sentiments of the text - the mood is predominantly joyful and exuberant; but the darker implications of certain phrases in the text are not ignored. Towards the end there is a big choral explosion on one of the traditional plainsong chants for the Magnificat, before the work subsides into a coda of calm serenity. Magnificat was commissioned by the ORA choir. It is dedicated to the French composer Betsy Jolas, in celebration of her 90th birthday, and in equal celebration of our mutual love of many choral composers mentioned above.

Symphonie Fantastique, composed by Hector Berlioz, is a symphony in five movements based upon Berlioz's own experiences of disappointment in love. Tohru Takahashi's arrangement fully exploits the capabilities of the concert band whilst staying true to the tonal colour and textures of the original. Movements include: Reveries - Passions, Un Bal, Scène aux champs, Marche au supplice and Songe d'une nuit de sabbat.

Hector Berlioz was nogal teleurgesteld in de liefde. Met de nog steeds modern klinkende Symphonie Fantastique gaf hij hieraan uiting. Tohru Takahashi verwerkte de originele partituur voor deze transcriptie. Hij wil hiermee de mogelijkhedenvan een modern blaasorkest optimaal benutten, maar verliest daarbij de originele klankkleuren nooit uit het oog. De optionele solopartij voor de cornet verschijnt in het tweede deel. Oorspronkelijk werd deze voor de beroemdekornettist Jean-Baptiste Arban geschreven.Mooi en meeslepend!Symphonie Fantastique bestaat uit de vijf delen Rêveries-Passions (Mijmeringen), Un bal (Een bal), Scène aux champs (Scène op de velden), Marche au supplice (Gangnaar het schavot) en Songe d'une nuit de sabbat (Droom van een heksensabbat).

Berlioz' einzigartige instrumentale und musikalische Herangehensweise klingt auch im 21. Jahrhundert noch neu. Für diese neue Transkription für Blasorchester schöpfte Tohru Takahashi unter bestmöglicher Ausnutzung der originalen Klangfarben die Möglichkeiten eines modernen Blasorchesters voll aus. Die Sinfonie besteht aus den fünf Sätzen Rêveries-Passions, Un bal, Scène aux champs, Marche au supplice und Songe d'une nuit de sabbat.

L'originalité instrumentale et musicale de Berlioz apparaît encore au XXIe siècle avec la même fraîcheur, que celle qui présida lors de la création de l'oeuvre. Pour cette nouvelle transcription pour orchestre vent, Tohru Takahashi a revisité la partition de Berlioz en respectant l'orchestration originale, afin d'exploiter pleinement le vaste potentiel d'un orchestre vent. La Symphony Fantastique se compose de cinq ensembles Rêveries-Passions, Un bal, Scène aux champs, Marche au supplice et Songe d'une nuit de Sabbat.

L'orig inalit strumentale e musicale di Berlioz è attuale anche nel XXI secolo. Per questa nuova trascrizione per banda, Tohru Takahashi ha rivisitato lo spartito di Berlioz rispettando l'orchestrazione originale per sfruttare al meglio il vasto potenziale delle formazioni di fiati moderni. La Symphonie Fantastique si compone di cinque movimenti: Reveries-Passions, Un Bal, Scène aux champs, Marche au supplice e Songe d'une nuit de Sabbat.
