Arr. Philip Sparke. Par MERCURY FREDDIE. Bohemian Rhapsody est souvent mentionné comme le titre le plus important dans l?histoire du Rock. Écrite par Freddie Mercury, cette chanson défie toutes les normes jusque-là respectées. Elle se compose de six sections bien distinctes: introduction, ballade, solo de guitare, parties opéra et hard rock ainsi qu?un finale. L?arrangement pour orchestre d?harmonie de Philip Sparke reste conforme à la version originale. Succès garanti! / Niveau : 4 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908) came from an aristocratic family which lived near Novgorod. When he appeared to be musically gifted as a child his parents did not hesitate one moment to map out a more honourable profession for him – he wasto make a career in the navy as a marine officer. Rimsky-Korsakov however succeeded in secretly studying the cello next to his studies at the Naval Academy at St Petersburg. Through his cello teacher he came into contact with the composerBalakirev. In this way he suddenly became a member of The Mighty Five (a group of Russian composers consisting of Balakirev Moussorgsky Cui Borodin and Rimsky-Korsakov himself). Rimsky-Korsakov turned out to be so talented that he evenbecame a teacher at the St Petersburg Conservatory.‘Procession of the Nobles’ comes from the opera-ballet ‘Mlada’.The opera has a remarkable history for between 1868 and 1870 five different composers worked on this project. The finalresult was never executed however. Twenty years later Rimsky-Korsakov started work on the opera once more and composed his own version of Mlada.The theme of the opera is a tragic love story that is set in the early Middle Ages in a realm on theBaltic Sea. In ‘Processsion of the Nobles’ all the princesses of the country gather for a grand feast on the occasion of the summer holidays.

Par COURT DOUGLAS. William Billings' beloved song Chester, the adopted theme of the Continental Army during America's war for independence, forms the musical core of this fine work for young bands. Great for concert or contest, this adaptation is short and sweet, but does not skimp on style or emotional impact. / Niveau : 2.5 / Musique légère originale / Répertoire / Concert Band
