Arr. Roland Kernen. Par KAEMPFERT BERT. Bert Kaempfert est considéré comme un grand maître de la variété internationale. Il a écrit des chansons pour des stars mondiales telles qu’Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee, Shirley Bassey, Anita Kerr et Frank Sinatra. Le son mythique de sa formation a fait le tour du monde. Ses affinités avec la musique noire et sa fascination pour les sonorités sud-africaines ont influencé plusieurs de ses compositions et arrangements. Roland Kernen a rassemblé cinq mélodies célèbres dans ce medley unique : Zambesi, African Beat, Wimoweh, Happy Trumpeter et Skokiaan. / Niveau : 3 / Pop and rock / Recueil / Fanfare

Par CURNOW JAMES. Contrasting colors and varied orchestration techniques make this majestic setting of OH LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM come alive for Christmas. Of the three different tunes that are commonly associated with the original carol text, this arrangement uses the melody that’s best known in England. ENGLISH CAROL FANTASY remains entirely accessible to bands at this level and plenty of cueing makes sure it’s useful for ensembles of all shapes and sizes. Feature your deserving young trumpet section leader on the easy solo, or let the entire first trumpet section play it soli. The low woodwinds and brass also get some “well doubled” exposure, so playing this one will be fun for all. Try it! / Niveau : 2 / Répertoire / Fanfare

Here is a sizzling Latin-jazz original from writer Earl Fox. 'Con Slancio,' which means 'with enthusiasm,' starts out big and bold and just keeps on coming! Featuring solid scoring, commanding harmonies, and a tasty trumpet solo, this is marching band at its best! / Marching Band

Par WILLIAMS JOHN. From the motion picture 1941, this is John Williams' tongue-in-cheek tribute to the big band era. Jay has adapted his arrangement for the Cadets Drum and Bugle Corps into a stunning production for marching band that will leave the crowd breathless! Featuring the sax section, a trumpet solo, and hot ensemble punches, it's just like having a mega jazz band on the field! / Date parution : 2023-06-01/ Répertoire / Marching Band

Par VAN DER ROOST JAN. Mercury is a concert march composed in a typically British idiom. In 1990, Jan Van der Roost wrote this piece on the occasion of the 15-year anniversary of his own band: Brass Band Midden Brabant. Like many British marches, the main theme is written in a minor key. Powerful and virtuoso themes characterize the first part of this march, while the trio melody is much more melodical, offering the tenor register to display its lyrical skills. Follows a dynamic passage for trombones and trumpets/cornets, leading to a 'grandioso' version of the main trio melody and thus concluding this march in a magnificent way. / Niveau : 4 / Marche / Répertoire / Fanfare

for Band. Par MAIRS DAVID. This march was written for the Durham MS Band in Lewisville, TX, an enthusiastic group of young musicians, growing in their technique and musicality and eager to sound like the big kids. Pride of the Maroon Dragons features a variety of articulations for the trumpets and upper woodwinds in the first strain, and a bold melody for the low brass and low woodwinds in the second. The trio features a smooth, legato melody in the clarinets and horns, followed by a melodic refrain in which every section has something important to say. Throughout the march, the percussionists have plenty to do on many different instruments, while the horns will be smiling quietly because they don't have to play any after-beats! / Date parution : 2022-10-12/ Répertoire / Marching Band
