SKU: BT.AMP-127-140

Composed by Stephen Foster. Arranged by Philip Sparke. Debut Series. Festive and Solemn Music. Score Only. Composed 2005. 16 pages. Anglo Music Press #AMP 127-140. Published by Anglo Music Press (BT.AMP-127-140).

English-German-French- Dutch.

One of the most beautiful songs ever written. Philip Sparke’s sumptuous arrangement of this Stephen Foster classic will make a perfect item to bring a few minutes of peace and calm tranquillity to any concert. The lush harmonies, so characteristic of Philip Sparke’s arranging. Once you have played this once you will want it on every concert programme.

Veel van de songs van Stephen Collins Foster (1826-1864), die onder meer Oh! Susannah, My Old Kentucky Home en Beautiful Dreamer schreef, waren erop gericht de zwarte Amerikaanse slaven een menselijker gezichtte geven. Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair schreef hij echter naar aanleiding van de afwezigheid van zijn vrouw toen hij in New York en zij in Pittsburgh woonde. De melancholie van de song komt in dit arrangement van PhilipSparke prachtig naar voren.

Viele Lieder des amerikanischen Komponisten Stephen Foster handelten von den schwarzamerikanischen Sklaven zur Zeit der Abschaffung der Sklaverei. Foster war ein gewissenhafter Arbeiter und verbrachte manchmal Monate damit, den Text eines Liedes zu perfektionieren. Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair schrieb Foster nach einer langen Trennung von seiner geliebten Frau. Dieses strahlende Werk ist ein ideales langsames Zwischenspiel für Ihr Konzertprogramm.

S tephen Foster (1826-1864), fu un compositore molto meticoloso. Dedicò a volte mesi al perfezionamento della scrittura di un testo. Conobbe il successo nel 1848 con Oh! Susanna e la crescente notoriet gli consentì di lasciare la provincia americana alla volta di New York. Ma il trasferimento non ebbe l’effetto desiderato, tanto che nel 1854 sua moglie Jane e sua figlia Marion ritornarono a Pittsburgh. L’assenza prolungata di sua moglie gli ispirò la canzone Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair.

A Midwest Fanfare was commissioned by the Brass Band of Battle Creek and premiered by them during their appearance at the Midwest Clinic in Chicago on 20th December 2017 where this fanfare was the opening piece of the entire event. This piece is designed to be played with the cornets split into two teams either side of the band. It opens with the two groups answering each other antiphonally over a repeated figure in the lower band. A calmer central section introduces a euphonium solo which is then taken up by the whole ensemble. This leads back to a repeat of the opening fanfares over a rhythmic accompaniment and a short coda which brings the work to a close.

A Midwest Fanfare werd geschreven in opdracht van de Brass Band of Battle Creek en op 20 december 2017 door dit ensemble in première gebracht als openingswerk op de Midwest Clinic in Chicago. Het werk is zo gecomponeerd dat de kornetten in twee teams worden verdeeld, die aan weerszijden van de band komen te staan. Deze twee groepen antwoorden elkaar op antifonale wijze boven een herhaald motief in de lagere registers. Een rustiger centraal gedeelte introduceert een eufoniumsolo, die aansluitend wordt overgenomen door de complete band. Deze passage mondt uit in een herhaling van de openingsfanfares boven een ritmische begeleiding, waarna het werk met een korte coda fraaiwordt afgesloten.

A Midwest Fanfare wurde von der Brass Band of Battle Creek in Auftrag gegeben und bei ihrem Auftritt anlässlich der Midwest Clinic in Chicago am 20. Dezember 2017 uraufgeführt, wo diese Fanfare den Auftakt für die gesamte Veranstaltung bildete. Das Stück ist so konzipiert, dass die Kornette in zwei Gruppen aufgeteilt sind und auf beiden Seiten der Brass Band platziert werden. Es beginnt mit einem Wechselgesang der beiden Gruppen, der über einer sich wiederholenden Melodie in den tieferen Stimmen der Brass Band erklingt. Im ruhigeren Mittelteil wird ein Euphonium-Solo vorgestellt, das dann vom gesamten Ensemble aufgenommen wird. Schließlich kehren die Eröffnungsfanfarenü ber einer rhythmischen Begleitung zurück und eine kurze Coda bringt das Werk zum Abschluss.

L’instrumentation divise les cornets en deux groupes de part et d’autre de l’orchestre. La pièce s’ouvre avec les deux groupes qui se répondent antiphonalement sur un motif répété par les basses. Un passage central plus calme introduit un solo d’euphonium qui est ensuite repris par l’orchestre entier. La fanfare du début revient alors sur un accompagnement rythmique avant une brève coda qui achève la pièce.

“Sona tina by Eugène Bozza is a piece for Four unequal Clarinets (an E flat Clarinet, two B flat and a Bb Bass Clarinet). Strongly lyrical, this piece, which lasts approximatively 7'50 minutes, is very interesting and quite challenging to play. It explores the full high and low of the instruments, and requires some good ability of breathing and strong agility. It is divided into three main parts, which are: I. Allegro vivo, II. Calme (Quiet) and III. Allegro Vivo. While the first and third sections are very cheerful and energetic, the second part is slower and more reflective. Eugène Bozza won different prizes at the Conservatoire de Paris such as the First Prizes for the Violin, conducting and composition, as well as the Grand Prix de Rome. He composed several operas, chamber works and ballets among others.&rdquo.

Organ

SKU: BA.BA09352

Composed by Thomas Daniel Schlee. Stapled. Performance score. Composed 2004/2010. Opus 74. 22 pages. Duration 7 minutes. Baerenreiter Verlag #BA09352_00. Published by Baerenreiter Verlag (BA.BA09352).

ISBN 9790006499830. 21 x 29.5 cm inches. Language: German. Preface: Thomas Daniel Schlee.

The first piece “Sicut ros Hermon” (Psalm 133) meditates on the path God’s mercy takes, whereby the initial slow descending harmonic sequences develop into an emphatic song followed by a tender chorale-like coda.

“Si sumpsero pennas aurorae” (Psalm 139) relates to a highly poetic, consolatory but also admonishing image of the psalm: As far as our wings may carry us, God’s hand will take hold of us. We cannot escape his mercy or his judgement. At the end of this striking movement the music conveys almost haptic moments; one can sense the mighty ‘hand’ by means of the tutti sound. Finally the music becomes as calm as at the start of this piece, though dialogue-like figurations convey repercussions of what was experienced and acknowledged.

Dedi cated to the luminary Steve Cowan, …empty mind, open heart… is a four-movement suite that centers around the intervals of a fifth and a tritone. Each movement is inspired by a quote from the Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu. The opening movement is a meditation. The aleatoric rhythms and pacing of the notes are guided by the breathing of the performer, according to specific instructions in the score. Out of that atmosphere emerges a fluid, serene series of arpeggios in irregular rhythms in the second movement. Each new chord changes only one or two notes at a time in a gradual evolution over time. The third movement is a study in rhythm, sometimes dizzying. And the piece ends with a heartfelt, mostly quiet soliloquy.

Dédié e à la sommité Steve Cowan, … esprit vide, cœur ouvert… est une suite en quatre mouvements centrée sur les intervalles d'une quinte et d'un triton. Chaque mouvement est inspiré d'une citation du Tao Te Ching de Lao Tseu. Le mouvement d’ouverture est une méditation. Les rythmes aléatoires et le rythme des notes sont guidés par la respiration de l'interprète, selon des instructions spécifiques de la partition. De cette atmosphère émerge une série d’arpèges fluides et sereins aux rythmes irréguliers dans le deuxième mouvement. Chaque nouvel accord ne change qu'une ou deux notes à la fois selon une évolution progressive dans le temps. Le troisième mouvement est une étude du rythme, parfois vertigineuse. Et la pièce se termine par un monologue sincère, plutôt calme.

In Letter from Home, Philip Sparke has aimed aim to capture the emotions that can be experienced when away from home; a letter or phone call can bring both happy and sad emotions and music is perhaps unique in being able to express these subtle and paradoxical feelings. The calm opening leads to a reflective melody on clarinets and saxophones; but it is not long before the peaceful mood turns to turmoil, which eventually brings feelings of resignation in a calm chorale with a more positive mood.
