The chiaroscuro-technique developed by painters of the Italian renaissance served to intensify contrasts and effects of optical depth. In Klar/Obskur, I tried to transfer the general idea of this technique on the rather unusual instrumentation of two double-reed woodwinds and piano. On the one hand, a clear, well articulated playing is characteristic for these instruments, on the other hand, they have an often underestimated potential of 'twilight': air-sounds and fragile, shady colours have a especially attractive when being produced by double-reed instruments (which are often, and superficially regarded as being less capable of differentiated sounds than flute or clarinet). The piano, too, has a broad bandwidth of possibilities between percussive and delicate playing to complement the woodwinds which, in return, can absorb and continue the fading piano sounds.The beginning introduces the two contrasting elements that form the basic material for the piece: a clear, sharp chord, followed by fragile, dim sounds. The changes between these elements as well as their combination and amalgamation produce an enormous spectrum of colours and gesture. After this 'motto-like' opening follow four quite clearly separated short sections, each of them being characterised by a well-defined texture: a partly almost imperceptible air-sound passage, a short sequence of microintervallic notes, a burst of virtuosity and a recourse to the fragile sounds of the beginning.The second, longer main part consists of three sections merging subtly into each other: a short unisono-passage, marked elastic [federnd], is being dissolved into its basic elements; from these remainders, a confrontation of low, 'arcane' bassoon and piano sounds and a strongly ornamented melodic line of the oboe emerges, leading to a short but powerful climax. The piece is concluded by an extended, relaxed epilogue, containing a short piano solo and a duet of oboe and bassoon and, finally, a quotation of the 'elastic' character of the middle section.Benjamin Schweitzer.

This Is It is the title track from the film of the same name that first appeared after the death of Michael Jackson. The title, that should have represented the climax of a great career, has now taken on a second, unintentionally sadder meaning. In a brand new arrangement for wind orchestra by Hideaki Miura, the last hit of the ‘King of Pop’ is a must for your entertaining repertoire!

This Is It is de titelsong van de gelijknamige film die pas na de dood van Michael Jackson werd uitgebracht. De titel was eigenlijk bedoeld als afsluiting van een grootse carrière van de grote Michael Jackson. Onbedoeld heeft het door zijn vroegtijdige dood een treurige bijbetekenis gekregen. De laatste hit van de King of Pop geven wij nu uit in een gloednieuwe bewerking voor orkest. Een must-have voor op uw amusementsrepertoire!

This Is It ist das Titellied zum gleichnamigen Film, der erst nach dem Tod von Michael Jackson veröffentlicht wurde. Der Titel Das war’s“, der eigentlich den Abschluss einer großartigen Karriere markieren sollte, hat nun ungewollt eine zweite, traurige Bedeutung bekommen. Der letzte Hit des King of Pop“ für Blasorchester von Hideaki Miura ist ein Muss für Ihr unterhaltsames Repertoire!

This Is It est le titre principal du film éponyme qui est sorti après la mort de Michael Jackson. Ce titre, qui aurait d représenter l’apogée d’une grande carrière, a maintenant pris une autre signification beaucoup plus triste. Dans un tout nouvel arrangement de Hideaki Miura pour orchestre d’harmonie, le dernier succès du «roi de la pop» est indispensable votre répertoire !

This Is It è il titolo della canzone che accompagna l’omonimo documentario del 2009, in gran parte realizzato utilizzando il materiale girato da Michael Jackson nei giorni immediatamente precedenti il suo decesso, mentre preparava le coreografie per il tour. Un titolo, che dopo la tragica morte del grande artista, suonò come una premonizione. L’arrangiamento di Hideaki Miura è un must del repertorio di musica da intrattenimento.

The oratorio Passions by Homilius were among the last compositions of their kind in the 18th century. In an oratorio Passion the chorus is restricted mainly to singing the chorales and the interjections of the crowd; only the conclusion of a Passion provides an opportunity for an extensive choral movement. In the St. John Passion the final chorus emphasizes the supreme importance of the Crucifixion as the climax of St. John's Gospel. The free elements of the composition take the forms customary at the time: da capo arias are predominant. Score and part available separately - see item CA.3710300.

I wrote this piece with a darker sonority and an emphasis on lyricism, qualities that I associate with the viola. In the first movement, titled Fantasia, the viola begins with a quiet and free cadenza, becoming more passionate until the woodwinds join in dialogue with the soloist. Gradually the rest of the orchestra enters, exploring ideas from the solo cadenza while introducing a new theme that reappears in the last movement. The second movement is a scherzo, mischievous in mood with the orchestra and viola trading barbed jokes. The antics are interrupted by a brass chorale with embellishment from the viola. The scherzo then resumes with prominent contributions from the bassoons. The last movement, titled Nocturne, plays with different kinds of music associated with the night. A sensual and romantic atmosphere gives way to something more menacing and ultimately violent. After a climax from the full orchestra, soft strings and solo viola lead us into the coda, taking an ambiguous idea from the first movement and transforming it into a lyrical and heartfelt prayer. The concerto ends with the solo viola ascending on the crest of an orchestral wave of sound.

Dit suggestieve concertwerk uit 1996 begint met een dromerige inleiding die gevolgd wordt door het eerste thema. De muzikale spanning wordt geleidelijk verhoogd waarna in het Grandioso een nieuw krachtig thema wordt ge ntroduceerd.De altijd aanwezige twee thema's worden daarna verder ontwikkeld om uiteindelijk na een climax het werk af te sluiten.

A Sunrise Impression débute avec une impression de lever de soleil, une rêverie au cours de laquelle est dévoilé le premier thème principal. La tension musicale augmente progressivement dans le Grandioso où l’on peut entendre le second thème exprimé avec puissance. Les développements qui succèdent au Grandioso n’altèrent en rien la présence appuyée des deux thèmes principaux qui, le finale approchant, gagnent en puissance gr ce l’introduction de nouveaux motifs rythmiques.

Met een knipoog naar de naam van de opdrachtgevende vereniging (De Harmonie) symboliseert dit stuk, gebaseerd op twee thema's, de krachtenbundeling om samen iets moois te creëren. Het eerste thema wordt in de openingsfanfare doorhet scherp koper gespeeld en verklankt de energie van het repeteren. De ritmiek geeft het enthousiasme aan waarmee dit gebeurt. Het tweede thema weerspiegelt het siciale aspect en de christelijke identiteit van De Harmonie. Het werkeindigd in een climax: de twee thema's worden met elkaar verweven, waarmee duidelijk wordt gemaakt dat een prestatie leveren niet mogelijk is zonder speelplezier - en vice versa.

From the pen of Rob Romeyn comes this powerful and dramatic programmatic work that sounds straight out of a blockbuster movie soundtrack! The music begins with a delicate statement presented by a solo flute, answered by a solo clarinet soaring above transparent harmonies, leading to a beautiful expressive section. From here, the music takes off with an aggressive display of emotion and power, captivating the audience with high intensity. Multiple sections of the ensemble are featured melodically and harmonically as we continue our journey. Many changes in dynamics, harmonic structure, textures, and varied scoring techniques not only enhance the excitement, but make this an outstanding teaching piece. After a breathtaking climax, the expressive section returns, more developed this time. The piece then ends aggressively, sure to have your audience on the edge of their seat until the last note. Don't miss this significant addition to the concert band repertoire!

Atlantic Odyssey was commissioned by the band program at Oakton High School in Vienna, VA, and its director, Dr. Cheryl Newton. The piece is in two extended movements and seeks to portray an imaginary yacht journey off the eastern seaboard of the USA. The first movement, Sunrise at Sea and the Ocean Awakes, opens with an atmospheric depiction of dawn at sea. Floating woodwinds soar above surging brass until a climax heralds the rising sun. Daylight reveals distant horizons and the prospect of a calm voyage, but the sea is never tamed and a light breeze whips up spray around the boat until a couple of high waves rock the boat alarmingly. But the sea soon calms again and the journey continues serenely. The second movement, Homeward Bound and Spindrift, sees us turn for home, the boat scything calmly through the gentle waves in perfect sailing conditions. But once again conditions change, a stiff breeze tugs at the sails and for a moment we are once again at the mercy of the wind and waves. A moment of calm returns but we are suddenly sprayed by spindrift as a gale picks up. The boat is in danger of overturning but we manage to trim the sail and take advantage of the strong winds to enjoy and exhilarating journey home.

A dynamic concert overture that derives most of its force and material from the striking fanfare motive announced in the opening measure by horns and trumpets (concert Eb, Bb, Ab, Db). The bold opening in compound time is followed by a suave and flowing Adagio in 4/4 meter that makes a lovely tune out of a variant of the opening motive. At measure 103, with a marimba solo, the Allegro style and compound meter return for a rousing and invigorating climax. This piece is a significant addition to the band repertoire for concert and contest. Duration: 6'30 Keys: Eb, Ab Ranges: Trumpet-A; Horn-F; Trombone-G.
