Arr. Timothy Johnson. Par HAYDN FRANZ JOSEF. “He alone has the secret of making me smile, and touching me to the bottom of my soul, ” said Mozart about “Papa” Haydn and his music. The “Surprise” Symphony (No. 94), incidentally written during the final year of Mozart’s short life, has become one of Haydn’s most memorable works. Since this symphony was written during the zenith of the Classical period, Timothy Johnson’s skillful arrangement gives you a perfect opportunity to teach your young band “lightness” and control as essentials of Classical style playing. You can introduce the concept of making the staccato notes “separated” instead of just “short” in order to best approximate the sound of the times. It’s a naturalselection for your next festival or concert! Why not give your young band a chance to meet “Papa” Haydn through this charming arrangement? / Niveau : 1 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Par HANNICKEL MIKE. Typically bands that play at this level have some Clarinet players who are comfortable above the break and others who are not. By staying below the break throughout, this light and spirited Clarinet section feature let’s you give the entire section a bit of the limelight. This is a perfect vehicle to help your Clarinet section learn to shape a phrase, and the cheerful melody let’s you program this piece anywhere you like. It’s also a good selection to use to take the pressure off Brasses before a particularly taxing major work. Remind the critically important Clarinet section that you value their efforts as much as any other section.

Par VON SUPPE FRANZ. Preludes and overtures were often written to set the mood of Viennese folk plays and therefore might be used for more than one production. Such was the case for Poet and Peasant, which introduced a comedy of the that name in 1846. The piece had already been heard as the overture to the play Lots of money, short of sleep and may also have prefaced two other plays. This overture did not belong to an opera until several years after its 1845 composition date. The themes from this overture are among the most often quoted material for comic effects for stage productions and animated cartoons. Probably, they represent, in sound, an era of nostalgia from the old-time park band concerts andare familiar to audiences of all age groups. This composition deserves to be heard in its original context as a serious, but highly entertaining, selection. / Niveau : 4 / Ouverture / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Arr. Peter Kleine Schaars. This medley has been inspired by Peter Kleine Schaars’ previous experience that every concert should end with a selection of unbeatable melodies. With this in mind Peter Kleine Schaars has chosen some of his favourite pop songs and combined them to form this lively medley. Hits include That’s the Way I Like It, Boogie Down, One Day I’ll Fly Away, Fantasy and Street Life. A fantastic way to bring any concert to a close. / Niveau : 4 / Pop and rock / Recueil / Fanfare

Par WATSON SCOTT. The 14th-century carol, 'Personent hodie,' is both mysterious and powerful. On This Day Earth Shall Ring---a festive processional on the ancient melody arranged by Scott Watson---explores both aspects. Beginning quietly, the modal tune emerges over a chant drone with rustic, medieval percussion. Before long, the piece takes on the joyous character alluded to in the tune's most familiar English text setting, 'On This Day Earth Shall Ring' (written by composer, Jane Joseph, a student of Gustav Holst). As the work draws to an ebullient close, all the stops are pulled with resounding brass and ringing metallic percussion! Whether used as a striking concert opener or a jubilant final selection, On This Day Earth Shall Ring will add festive élan to your winter/holiday program!

Par HANNICKEL MIKE. Two melodies in the Scottish style meet head-on in this energetic new arrangement. Your students will love the “bagpipe sound” and rhythmic color of the Scottish “snap”. This arrangement can also be used with young bands as a lesson in the concept of counterpoint. Each of the two main themes is clearly stated on its own, but remarkable things happen when they are played together. Through skillful selection of themes and contrapuntal composition, Mike Hannickel does a masterful job of melding these contrasting songs into a unified and energetic adventure into the Highlands. Fun to play, and a great style study! / Niveau : 2.5 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Par SCIAINO PETER. 'Bahumba' is a nonsense word but a no-nonsense selection for concert band. The word stems from a sound composer Peter Sciaino heard coming from an idling car. The engine, clearly having issues, had an 'uneven' gate or pulse. He mindlessly heard the word 'Bahumba' within the sounds emerging from the struggling motor. Just like an engine, an ensemble can attain a smooth groove even if 'uneven' in terms of pulse. While the percussionists are often asked to provide this groove under the melodic lines, they ultimately break out with a feature that essentially places a percussion ensemble within the context of a concert band piece.
