(The Trumpet Voluntary). Par CLARKE JEREMIAH. Jeremiah Clarke (vers 1674-1707) fait partie de la génération de compositeurs anglais succédant à celle d’Henry Purcell. On sait très peu de choses sur ses débuts musicaux. En 1685, il entre en tant que choriste à la chapelle royale d’Angleterre, un ensemble de musiciens liturgiques au service de la cour. À partir de 1692, il est organiste à Winchester College avant de retourner à Londres où il est nommé chef des choeurs de la Cathédrale Saint-Paul. The Prince of Denmark’s March (“La Marche du Prince du Danemark”) est sans aucun doute la plus connue des oeuvres de Clarke. Composée à l’origine pour clavecin, elle est incluse plus tard par Clarke dans unrecueil de pièces pour instruments à vent. / Niveau : 1.5 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Arr. Naohiro Iwai. Par MARKS JOHNNY. Parmi les rennes du Père Noël, il en est un pas comme les autres : il s’appelle Rudolph et a un nez rouge. Il est né de l’imaginaire du poète Robert L. May, un soir de 1939. Son histoire fera le tour du monde et enchantera des générations d’enfants. La musique est lumineuse et joyeuse. Un standard de Noël ! / Niveau : 4 / Musique légère originale / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Arr. Rob Wiffin. Par CLARKE JEREMIAH. The Royal Duke (“Le Duc royal”) est un arrangement de The Duke of Gloucester’s March (“La Marche du Duc de Gloucester”) de Jeremiah Clarke (1674-1707). Ce compositeur anglais, né à Londres, est essentiellement connu pour ses oeuvres pour clavier et notamment The Prince of Denmark’s March (le célèbre Trumpet Voluntary ) qui fut pendant très longtemps attribué à son contemporain Henry Purcell. Jeremiah Clarke a composé de nombreuses charmantes pièces dont The Duke of Gloucester’s March. Peu de temps après avoir terminé l’arrangement de cette marche, Rob Wiffin circule dans l’Est londonien et passe devant un pub appelé « The Royal Duke ». Letitre de l’arrangement était trouvé. The Royal Duke est une pièce au caractère majestueux. Elle est donc parfaite pour débuter un concert. L’arrangement de Rob Wiffin reste fidèle à la version originale tout en révélant les couleurs et les textures sonores de l’Orchestre d’Harmonie. / Niveau : 3 / Musique légère originale / Date parution : 1905-06-29/ Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

The Three Peaks - Die 3 Zinnen. Par DOSS THOMAS. The Three Peaks (Italian: Tre Cime di Lavaredo) are a prominent massif in the Dolomites on the border between the Italian provinces of Belluno in the south and South Tyrol in the north. The imposing rock formations formed over 200 million years ago and represent one of the most recognizable landmarks of the Dolomites and South Tyrol (I). Due to their exceptional beauty, the Dolomites with the Three Peaks are dignified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2009. The ?call? of the Three Peaks attracts numerous visitors every year, who will experience an unforgettable and impressive spectacle of changing colors from cool gray to glowing red. The Three Peaks tower over the eventful contemporary history of Tyrol and South Tyrol like stone guardians. / Date parution : 2022-11-29/ Répertoire / Concert Band/Harmonie

Arr. Philip Sparke. Par RYAN PAUL. Paul and Barry Ryan were identical twin sons of 1950’s pop singer Marion Ryan and were born on 24th October 1948. They were groomed for stardom and had started singing as a duo before their fifteenth birthday. They were signed by Decca in 1965 and brilliantly marketed as clean-cut fashion icons. Their first single ‘Don’t Bring Me Your Heartaches’ reached the UK top twenty but their success as twin performers lasted only three years. In 1968 Barry embarked on a solo career while Paul concentrated on writing and producing. Eloise with its melodramatic vocal style and heavily orchestrated backing was an early success of this new collaboration and went on to be covered by a variety ofartists, including punk legends The Damned. / Niveau : 4 / Pop and rock / Recueil / Fanfare

Par ANDERSON LEROY. Like most of Leroy Anderson\'s efforts, Belle of the Ball is light, effervescent, and devoid of conflict or disharmony. Anderson looked upon the piece as a modern-day American revival -- or revitalization -- of the Viennese waltz tradition. Having said that, the main theme sounds rather unlike a Strauss waltz, but the voice of Tchaikovsky is evident in its playful, fantasy-like character. The melody is rhythmic and comes in short groups of notes, beginning with two notes, then three, then expanding further; the music skates along elegantly. The middle section features a delightful variation on the theme, in which Anderson\'s gentle-belled sonorities impart a playful innocence. This exclusive Southern band edition by Mark Rogers reintroduces Anderson\'s enchanting work to new generations of audiences. / Date parution : 2022-09-20/ Répertoire / Concert Band

as performed by Amy Winehouse. Par PAYNE / DAVID MCCABE / ABIGAIL HARDING / BOYAN CHO. Une seule année s’est écoulée entre la sortie de la chanson Valerie, interprétée par le groupe de rock anglais The Zutons, qui eu beaucoup de succès au Royaume-Uni, et la reprise de Mark Ronson et Amy Winehouse. Plus funky, plus optimiste et typiquement plus «winehousienne», cette version soul a rapidement conquis les hit-parades de nombreux pays. L’arrangement de Peter Kleine Schaars rend hommage à la grande chanteuse décédée en 2011, avec ce titre récréatif et pétillant de fraîcheur ! / Niveau : 2.5 / Pop and rock / Date parution : 1905-07-04/ Recueil / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Quelle est cette odeur agreable. ‘Whence is that Goodly Fragrance Flowing?’ is the first line of an old French Christmas song that originated in the 17th century. In 1728 John Gay used this joyous and markedly festive melody that honours Jesus Christ and His miraculous birth in his Beggar’s Opera. Philip Sparke has given this melody a new lease of life with his charming and imaginative arrangement for the Christmas season. / Niveau : 3 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Fanfare

for Band. Par ANDERSON LEROY. This work was written by Leroy Anderson in 1951 and premiered by him when he recorded it for Decca. Interestingly, in 1956 the Phantom Regiment Drum and Bugle Corps of Rockford, Illinois changed their original name from the Rockford Rangers after having heard the piece played by a different corps. The music emulates the sound of distant trumpets and soldiers marching, drawing closer to the listener bit by bit. As the music gains strength, the marching and trumpets get louder and after passing the audience, it slowly fades away as they disappear into the distance again. This exclusive Southern band edition by Mark Rogers reintroduces Anderson's enchanting work to new generations of audiences. / Date parution : 2022-11-29/ Répertoire / Concert Band

Par VAN DER ROOST JAN. In the most literal sense: a piece for an occasion. The actual occasion was Jan de Haan’s twentieth anniversary as a conductor of the top Dutch brass band, “Soli Deo Gloria” (Leeuwarden). To mark the occasion, the band commissioned the Belgian comopser Jan Van der Roost to create a surprise piece: without knowledge of the person being celebrated, a suitable source of inspiration was sought for. After some thought the chorale-theme from Camille Saint-Saëns organ symphony was chosen, a piece with which Jan de Haan has a special bond. Apart from this chorale, Homage is also based on the names of notes taken from ‘Jan de Haan’ and ‘Soli Deo Gloria’, resulting in the tonerow: DEGAH. Both elements are combined together and form a grand climax towards the end of the piece when the whole band unites in the Saint Saëns’ theme. / Niveau : 5 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie
