Swing it William!. Par BLANKEN JOHN. The King's Swing basiert auf der niederländischen Nationalhymne Wilhelmus. John Blanken präsentiert diese aber zur Abwechslung in einem völlig neuen Gewand als Swingnummer. Blankens Werk enthält eine Reihe verschiedener Elemente: die rhythmisch angepasste Melodie, einen Walking Bass, eine Gegenstimme und eine rhythmische Begleitung. Eine witzige Idee, gekonnt umgesetzt in ein Blasorchesterstück, das überzeugen wird! / Niveau : 4 / Musique légère originale / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Par VAN DER ROOST JAN. This three-movement symphony musically depicts the history of Hungary. Key historical figures, wars and other important events from this country inspired all three movements. The first movement depicts Atilla, the King of the Huns, and is characterised by fear, threat and aggression. The second movement focuses on Árpád, the founder of the Hungarian State and the final movement is named after István, the King who introduced Christianity into Hungary. The beautiful theme of the national hymn appears throughout the symphony, however it is often partially hidden. It is used as a “thread, ” hardly recognizable at the beginning, becoming more and more obvious near the end and itconcludes the symphony as the “final apotheosis, ” making the band sound like a majestic living organ. / Niveau : 6 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Arr. Wil Van Der Beek. Par GRIEG EDVARD. Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson influença profondément la littérature norvégienne du XIXème siècle. En 1872, Grieg écrivit une musique de scène pour la nouvelle pièce de théâtre de son ami, intitulée Sigurd Jorsalfar (‘‘Sigurd, le croisé’’). La musique comporte huit pièces, dont deux chorals. En 1892, Grieg remaniait trois de ces pièces qu’il faisait publier un an après, sous forme de suite séparée, Op. 56. La première pièce, Prélude : dans le hall du roi (In The King’sHall) développe un thème solennel qui chemine vers des mélodies plus intimistes auxquelles les bois apportent une coloration nostalgique. / Niveau : 3 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Par DVORAK ANTONIN. This arrangement was written for Norwegian School Band Madlamark Skolekorps to their participation at the Norwegian Championships 2023. The arrangement will work excellent also for a wind ensemble (one player to each part), but the clarinet parts should always be doubled. Euphonium II is optional, but it’s recommended to use also this when there are two players or more on this instrument. Concerning percussion, timpani is the most important part, but it’s recommended to also cover cymbals and mallet percussion. The articulation and dynamics are kept as close as possible to the original version by Dvorak. However, some changes has been made to make it more suitable for a wind instrumentation. The timpani part is identical to the original version except for some places when the trumpet signals are doubled in the timpani part. Staccato notation should not be played short here, but rather separated. At faster passages, the music should be played endurant or legato if possible. This arrangement is a good opportunity to perform music of highest quality where musicality, phrasing, balance and intonation are very important, and, where each musician and part are deeply involved in the music making. / Date parution : 2023-07-31/ Répertoire / Concert Band/Harmonie

Par SPARKE PHILIP. Three Washington Statues fut commandé par la United States Army Band « Pershing’s Own », dirigée par le Colonel Thomas H. Palmatier. Certains des monuments, mémoriaux et statues les plus emblématiques du monde se trouvent à Washington D. C. Philip Sparke en a choisi trois comme inspiration pour ce morceau : « The Lincoln Memorial » où le compositeur dépeint la grandeur de ce temple grec de style dorique ; « The Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial » sur les marches duquel le discourscélèbre « I have a dream » fut prononcé – la musique est révérencieuse ainsi que puissante en référence à ce discours de Martin Luther King ; et la statue « Encore » en mémoire du célèbrecompositeur, pianiste et chef d’orchestre de jazzafro-américain Duke Ellington. Dans le mouvement final, Philip Sparke a réussi à saisir le dynamisme virtuose, énergétique et unique de la musique d’Ellington. / Niveau : 6 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Good King Wenceslas. Par JOHNSON TIMOTHY. Young band directors are always on the lookout for something new and a little different for the winter concert. Timothy Johnson’s new Christmas arrangement for Beginning Bands fits the bill perfectly. It remains technically accessible to the young band while exploring this old familiar tune in new and different ways. You even have the option of including a 'set' drummer by using the Optional Percussion 1 Advanced part. Lots of unison rhythms in the Winds ensure that you can prepare The Good King Rocks in time for that winter concert, and there are enjoyable parts for every instrument, which keeps the whole group focused and involved during rehearsal. Fun! / Niveau : 0.5 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band

Suite in Five Movements. Par HOYVIK DAHL HILDE. “At the Zoo” is a light and playful piece for the beginning musicians. Different animals and their characteristics are the theme of each movement, and the melody alternates between the different sections of the band to emphasize this. Trombones play glissandos and the percussionists are featured on percussion instruments, making the piece a fun to perform at any concert! / Date parution : 2023-07-31/ Répertoire / Concert Band/Harmonie

Par WILLIAMS JOHN / HVEEM DAVID (Arr.). «Cantina Band (or «Mad About Me») was written by John Williams in 1977 for the film Star Wars (later Star Wars IV: A New Hope). Even with quite a bit of the Star Wars music being quite well known, Cantina Band is literally in a style of its own. In the Star Wars-universe this style is called «jizz», Williams’ take on the more well-known genre «jazz». Williams was tasked by Star Wars-creator George Lucas to make music that sounded like «several creatures in a future century finding some 1930's Benny Goodman swing band music ... and how they might attempt to interpret it» and ended up with Cantina Band #1 and #2. Both numbers are played in the legendary scene taking place in Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina where Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi gets in a fight causing even the band to stop playing. The band, which goes by the name Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes, comes from the planet Clak'dor VII and specializes in jizz and the nearby, slightly older style of jatz. Performers of this music often go by the name 'jizz-wailers', and the Bith people from Clak'dor VII are especially well suited for jizz-wailing since they can hold every note as long as they want thanks to a unique respiratory system - something many perhaps would like to be able to do in the performance of this arrangement as well. The arrangement is relatively faithful to Williams' original version, but with a somewhat different ending. Although the woodwind section undoubtedly has the biggest technical challenges, an understanding of the musical style is the very key to making the arrangement sound good - and here all groups must work together. Playing lightly but quite articulated, and very precise, will be an absolute necessity to get the music drifting off all the way to Tatooine. In measure 113 there is a small improvised solo in either trombone or trumpet, but if you want the real authentic Cantina Band-sound this is of course done on a steel drum. / Date parution : 2023-07-31/ Répertoire / Concert Band/Harmonie
