Arr. Lorenzo Bocci. Par HENSON / SAM POTTLE. “It’s time to play the music. It’s time to light the lights. It’s time to meet the Muppets on the Muppet Show tonight. ” These lyrics opened the Muppet Show, which has been broadcast in over 100 countries around the world. The multi-talented Jim Henson was the creative inspiration for the show, developing the characters, providing some of the voices for the puppets and composed the theme song. Now you can bring the lights and music to your stage with this flexible arrangement in five parts with drum kit! / Niveau : 2 / TV, Film, Comédie musicale / Recueil / Concert Band ou Harmonie ou Fanfare

Par TINNER GILBERT. Showdown for Band (Confrontation pour Orchestre) a été spécialement composé pour figurer en tant qu’oeuvre imposée lors de la troisième édition du Concours International de Musique Légère de Saint-Gall (Suisse) en 1998. L’intention du compositeur était de créer une pièce de musique légère qui soit stimulante sur le plan technique pour les différents orchestres en compétition, en particulier sur le plan rythmique. La pièce est divisée en quatre mouvements : Opening, Ballad, Finale et Ending. Les mélodies très plaisantes et l’instrumentation variée révèlent toutes les facettes de l’orchestre dans son ensemble. Le solo dans la partie centralepeut être joué par un saxophone soprano ou alto, ou encore par un bugle. Cette composition impressionnante marque par sa richesse musicale, ce qui en fait une oeuvre idéale pour ouvrir un concert de musique légère. / Niveau : 4 / Musique légère originale / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Variants on a Japanese Folk Song. Par CURNOW JAMES. The beautiful Japanese folk song 'Ancient Castle' is transformed and enhanced through subtle variation in this stunning setting by James Curnow. Curnow, who is so respected by directors of more experienced bands, shows how effective he is at the very easy level as well. Offering ample opportunity to focus your band's attention on intonation and blend, this is a fine showcase of the musicianship of your young band! / Niveau : 1.5 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band

Arr. Peter Kleine Schaars. The sisters Ruth, Anita and June Pointer from West Oakland in California learned how to sing in the sixties in church where their father was a minister. At the beginning of the 1970s they entered the music business, where they proved to have a mastery of many styles - including rhythm & blues, jazz, and country. However, the Pointer Sisters acquired international fame at the beginning of the eighties with their soul-like pop music. A great hit was the up-tempo number I’m So Excited, which is still a success on every dance floor. This sparkling arrangement by Peter Kleine Schaars certainly provides the excitement that is suggested in the title. / Niveau : 3 / Musique légère originale / Répertoire / Fanfare

Par CURNOW JAMES. Grade 1 ½ literature acts as something of a bridge between beginner literature and “real” music for the nascent musician. With that in mind, it is critical to choose just the right Grade 1 ½ compositions as your group develops. As something of a competition for musical dominance between the Brasses, Woodwinds, and Percussion sections, AGON may be the perfect choice for your festival opening number. Each section, in fact every player, is shown to be an important part of the ensemble. Both smooth and marked playing are called for, while many stylistic and dynamic contrasts complete the recipe for a great young band showpiece. Compelling! / Niveau : 1.5 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band

Par VAN DER ROOST JAN. Spartacus is a 'Symphonic Tone Poem' with 3 joints. Each section has its own melodical materials, however: in the final movement the main theme from the second section returns in a 'grandioso'-tutti. The last bar but one recaptures the 'oriental' atmosphere of the very beginning. The first section (= from the beginning till J) builds up a climax by repeating and accumulating some melodical and rhythmical stuctures. The oriental character of the melodical fragments refers to the origin of the Roman slaves. The second section evokes the love between Spartacus and his loveby giving a peaceful atmosphere. The mean theme (presented the first time at letter L) has a broad andwide character and refers slightly to filmmusic. In this part of the composition, a special attention is given to the orchestration. The final section is more agressive and martial and refers to the revolt of the slaves against the Roman oppressors. In the middle of this movement, an accumulation of the 12 tones symbolizes the crucifixion of the slaves: the english horn resumes partly the cadenza of the flute (at letter J), as if he wants to show again the eternal love between Spartacus and his love a very last time . . . The theme at the third bar of letter T is actually based on the 2nd theme of this section (which starts at the fifth bar of letter R), but has been worked out rhytmically. / Niveau : 6 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Par SPARKE PHILIP. The Four Noble Truths are the most basic expression of the teaching of Buddha and therefore still form the guidelines for Buddhists to this day. The four truths are Dukkha, which describes times of major stress in our lives - birth, aging, desire and death; Samudaya which describes those parts of our life that induce stress, feeling, craving, desire; Nirodha which tells us how to eliminate those aspects of our lives which induce stress and Magga which describes the eight didciplines which can help us eliminate the origins of stress from our lives. It can be seen from these over-simplified definitions, that the Four Noble Truths fall into two pairs, the first two describingthe origins of stress and the second two describing how we can reduce stress. To reflect this, the four movements of this work are also combined into two pairs - two quick movements and two slow movements. A fascinating work from this great English composer. / Niveau : 4 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Par YAGISAWA SATOSHI. This work is a close-up of the encounters and relationships of trust between people, following the idea that 'friendship lasts forever.” After the passing of Satoshi Yagisawa’s close friend and work partner, Tsutomu Murata, a designer of Neo Create in August 2020, the composer began work on this piece. Murata performed music for audiences primarily as a leader and conductor of Kurume City Brass, a group which is active in Fukuoka Prefecture in Japan. Eternal Frienship depicts a five-minute chorale which explores “how music can convey that a close friend is indispensable to you, more broadly, everyone to someone,” much like how Murata conveyed the appeal of music to his audiences. Under the direction of the composer himself, the work had its world premiere and was recorded with the Kobe College Wind Orchestra./ Répertoire / Orchestre D'Harmonie

Par CONNERY BRIAN. This heroic march strives to capture the spirit in which young musicians make music. The stately and joyous introduction underlies this factor. Following the introduction a triumphal second theme tells us in music how this was accomplished. Through practise the band has reached its musical goal. Let your band take you on its triumphant tour. / Niveau : 1.5 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

America, the Beautiful. Par CURNOW JAMES. The perfect arrangement for your Beginning Band’s first patriotic performance! There are lots of opportunities for young players to solidify basic skills here. A few easy accidentals, articulations, dynamics, and phrasing can all be taught while rehearsing Sea to Shining Seay. There are many more uses for this arrangement than the typical concert setting, too. Does your student body meet at the flag pole on Monday mornings for a flag salute? Play it there. How about a short performance at a school board meeting? The possibilities are endless! Don’t miss it! / Niveau : 0.5 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band
