The music of the Caribbean is a mixture of styles encompassing traditions that reflect the nature of its many islands and ethnic groups which inherited a multitude of rhythms imported by slaves from West Africa. Europeans brought with them Western-style melodies and harmonies, still used today in Trinidadian calypso, a traditional folk genre which gained worldwide popularity thanks to internationally famous artists such as the American singer Harry Belafonte (Calypso, Island in the Sun, Day-O/Banana Boat Song). Fascinated by this music which embodies the very spirit of exoticism, Roland Kernen composed Caribbean Calypso, a composition with softly swaying rhythms which followa gentle and subtle melodic line in a rum and cigar-flavoured atmosphere.

De Europeanen brachten westerse melodieën en harmonieën in, die vandaag de dag nog steeds worden gebruikt in de calypso uit Trinidad, een genredat wereldwijd populair werd dankzij beroemde artiesten als Harry Belafonte (Island in the Sun, Day-O/Banana Boat Song). Roland Kernen nodigt muzikanten en luisteraars uit om zijn Caribbean Calypso te ontdekken:een compositie met zacht wiegende ritmes die een rustige melodielijn volgen in een sfeer van rum en sigaren.

Die Musik der Karibik fasziniert durch die eindrucksvolle Verbindung vieler verschiedener Stile, die aus dem Schmelztiegel der zahlreichen dort lebenden ethnischen Gruppen entstanden sind. Roland Kernen lädt ein, seinen Caribbean Calypso zu entdecken, eine Komposition mit leicht wiegenden Rhythmen, die einer sanften, raffinierten Melodielinie folgen in eine mit Rum und Zigarren geschwängerte Atmosphäre.

La musique des Cara bes est aussi plurielle que les îles et les ethnies qui la composent. Fasciné par cette mosa que qui sent bon l’exotisme, Roland Kernen vous invite découvrir Caribbean Calypso (“Calypso des Cara bes”), une œuvre aux rythmes chaloupés qui distille une délicieuse ligne mélodique sur fond de rhum et de cigare.

La musica dei Caraibi è varia come le isole e le etnie che la compongono. Affascinato da questa musica esotica, Roland Kernen vi invita a scoprire Caribbean Calypso, un brano dai ritmi ondeggianti caratterizzato da una deliziosa linea melodica sullo sfondo di rum e sigaro.

On average, about eight thousand (mostly light) earthquakes occur worldwide each day. Composer Jan de Haan has always been fascinated by this natural phenomenon. Earthquake portrays the beautiful South-American peninsula, Isla Iberi which lies directly on a major fault line. The peace and tranquility is shattered by a major tremor and the terrified people flee in fear. In addition to showing the earthquakes destructive power, Earthquake also conveys the courage and faith of the industrious people of Isla Iberia, as they energetically start the reconstruction of their beloved residential area. Earthquake is dedicated to the memory of all victims of the devastating Asiantsunami which occurred on 26 December 2004.

Earthquake is een indrukwekkende en contrastrijke programmatische compositie over de impact van een zware aardbeving. De muziek is net zo imposant als het natuurgeweld zelf - en net zo aangrijpend als de ervaring van de mensendie het meemaken. Earthquake was het verplichte werk voor de hoogste divisie van de Nederlandse Brassbandkampioenschappen 2005.

Earthquak e ist eine beeindruckende, emotionale und kontrastive thematische Komposition über die Naturgewalt eines heftigen Erdbebens.

Earthquake (“Tremblement de terre”) résume la fascination de Jan de Haan pour les séismes, phénomènes naturels souvent superficiels, mais quelques fois destructeurs et meurtriers. La musique est aussi impressionnante que les forces de la nature, aussi émouvante que le désespoir des hommes.

Arranged by Roland Kernen. De Haske Pop Collection. Pop & Rock. Score Only. Composed 2004. De Haske Publications #DHP 1043587-140. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-1043587-140).

Legend has it that Edith Piaf, one of the greatest stars of the French music scene, was born under a lamp post in the streets of Paris and spent much of her lonely childhood roaming the streets, singing here and there in front of a fascinated audience. Out of the poor streets developed a singer who was to become the darling of French cabaret. A Tribute to Edith Piaf is a wonderful arrangement for concert band of four of the most well known songs of this romantic, spontaneous, desperate and everlasting legend.

Naar verluidt werd een van de grootste sterren uit de Franse muziekwereld onder een lantaarnpaal in de Parijse rue de Belleville geboren. Na een eenzame jeugd, waarin ze veel over straat zwierf en voor mensen zong, werd Edith Gassionontdekt door Louis Leplée. Van hem kreeg ze haar bijnaam, La môme Piaf (de kleine mus). A Tribute to Edith Piaf is een prachtig arrangement voor harmonieorkest van Roland Kernen. Het omvat vier van de bekendste chansonsvan deze tegelijkertijd romantische, spontane, wanhopige en onsterfelijke legende: Milord, Hymne l’Amour, Mon Manège Moi en La Vie en Rose.

Die Legende um Edith Piaf, den Spatz von Paris“ besagt, dass sie aus ärmsten Verhältnissen kam und ihre Karriere auf der Straße begann. Aus der armen Straßensängerin wurde die wohl berühmteste Chansonsängerin aller Zeiten. A Tribute to Edith Piaf ist ein wundervolles Medley für Blasorchester von Roland Kernen aus vier der bekanntesten Lieder dieser unsterblichen Legende.

Le 19 décembre 1915, Paris a vu naître sous un lampadaire de la rue de Belleville (si l’on en croit la légende), une étoile de la chanson française. Enfant délaissée, Edith Gassion sillonne seule les quartiers de Paris, en chantant ici et l devant un public fasciné, avant d’être remarquée par Louis Leplée qui l’accueille de son cabaret et qui pose sur cette voix unique un nom voué l’immortalité, la môme Piaf (FAM. moineau), symbole de la fragilité physique du personnage. Mais du haut de ses 1,47 m, elle séduit le Tout-Paris de l’entre-deux guerres puis cristallise autour d’elle le public international. La môme Piaf devient alors définitivement Edith Piaf, lacoqueluche des intellectuels, l’amie des grands chansonniers tels que Maurice Chevalier, Mistinguett, Lucienne Delisle et André Claveau. Artiste célébrée dans le monde entier, femme tourmentée et déchirée, Edith Piaf cessera de chanter le 11 octobre 1963.Avec A Tribute to Edith Piaf (“Hommage Edith Piaf”), Roland Kernen signe un superbe arrangement pour Orchestre d’Harmonie de quatre des plus célèbres chansons de cette légende immortelle, romantique, spontanée et désespérée : Milord, Hymne l’Amour, Mon Manège Moi et La Vie en Rose.

This work was commissioned by Eurofestival. Ever since antiquity, mankind has been fascinated by the lion: symbolising courage, strength and temperance. Many have made use of the lion to represent themselves in symbols and emblems. In five movements the composer describes both the history of the lion throughout centuries, as well as the characteristics. A challenging idea to turn into music! The final movement ‘King of Kings’ is extremely spectacular. A great choice for thematic concerts or as a main piece in your concert or contest.

Dit werk is geschreven in opdracht van het Eurofestival. Al sinds de oudheid is de mens gefascineerd door de leeuw. Dit imponerende dier staat voor moed, kracht en beheersing: er bestaan dan ook talloze wapenschilden en blazoenen met de leeuw als symbool. In vijf delen verklankt de componist zowel de geschiedenis van de leeuw door de eeuwen heen als de kenmerken van de koning der dieren. Een geweldig idee om zo’n onderwerp in muziek te beschrijven! Het laatste deel, ‘King of Kings’, is zonder meer spectaculair te noemen. Een uitstekende keuze voor een thematisch concert of als hoofdwerk van een concert of op een concours.

Dieses Werk wurde vom Eurofestival 2016 in Auftrag gegeben. Bereits seit der Antike übt der Löwe eine große Faszination auf den Menschen aus, da er als Symbol für Mut, Stärke und Temperament gilt. Viele haben den Löwen verwendet, um sich selbst in Emblemen und Wappen darzustellen. Der Komponist beschreibt in fünf Sätzen sowohl die Geschichte des Löwen im Laufe der Jahrhunderte sowie seine Charakteristika. Eine große Herausforderung, dies musikalisch umzusetzen! Der letzte Satz, King of Kings“, ist atemberaubend. Das Stück eignet sich hervorragend für ein thematisches Konzert oder als Hauptstück für Konzerte und Wettbewerbe.

Piano Solo - Easy-Intermediate

Composed by Sarah Baker. Sheet Music and Books. Nine pieces on a day time theme for solo piano, by Sarah Baker. Suggested grade 4-5. Classical. Collection. Forsyths Publications #FBS03. Published by Forsyths Publications (FP.FBS03).

ISBN 9790570500192.

Sara h Baker is Vocal Composer in Residence at Education Music Services, an ABRSM examiner and a well known composer of songs and musicals for primary schools and massed-choral events.

All this experience has come together in the creation of this album of piano pieces, inspired by growing up in the Chiltern Hills. Suitable for players of around grade 4-5 standard, her evocative sound pieces describe a crash-landing hot air balloon, garden invading cows and a even a snake in a pond!

Air Balloon!: One vivid memory I have as a child is of the day that a hot air balloon passed over our house and made an emergency landing on the road in front! The sound of the gas being blown into the balloon to try to keep it high enough to pass the house sounded so loud and intimidating, and then there was the bustle of the neighbours as we all went out into the street to watch. It was both terrifying and exhilarating to watch the balloon float past and then land so near by.

Buzzards Circling: There is something so calming and restful about watching birds of prey circling in the thermal currents of a summer sky. Growing up in the Chilterns gave me plenty of opportunity to watch buzzards and red kites. This piano solo captures the beauty of their flight as they glide so effortlessly through the air.

There’ s A Cow In The Garden Eating The Flowers: Inspired by the memory of seeing an unexpected cow in the garden! This surreal image is captured in a quirky waltz, as I portray both the absurdity of the moment and the sense of wonder I felt as a child, looking out of the window and seeing the cow walking round and eating the flowers. The final phrase articulates my longing: ‘I wish it would come again’.

Wat ching The World Go By: A short, reflective piece, remembering what it was like to have time to just sit and watch the world go by from my bedroom window.

Autumn Skies: A miniature about the beauty of Autumn skies and the poignant sense of loss for a summer gone. Friends I was fortunate to have several children of my own age living close by. We seemed to be forever making dens, playing out in the street and generally enjoying each other’s company. This piece reflects that sense of well-being.

Snake In The Pond: One hot summer I was astonished and scared to see a grass snake cooling off in our garden pond! I watched, both horrified and fascinated, as it rose up from the depths and then disappeared again. Here I portray the sense of the hazy summer afternoon as I peacefully watched the tiny movements of fish in the pond, contrasted with the fear and excitement of seeing the snake appear.

Morning Commute: I recollect many mornings stuck in traffic as my Dad took me to school on his way to work. There is one main road out of the village where I grew up, and that got more and more congested the closer we got to the town. We may not have chatted a lot, but it was always good to be together with my Dad, lost in our own thoughts.

The Witch’s Cottage: My siblings and I had a fascination with a small cottage nearby. It was set back from the road in a dark part of the woods and we called it 'the witch's cottage’. Every time we passed, I imagined I heard the distant cackle of the witch and wished I could catch a glimpse of her.

These pieces are written to complement my other collection, Night Time Impressions, which also draw on childhood recollections, particularly of the woods behind the house where I grew up. - Sarah Baker 2023.

Monteverdi' s Vespers of 1610 is a work which has both fascinated and perplexed musicologists and performers for many years. It forms by far the larger part of the composer's first significant publication of sacred music, entitled: Of the most blessed virgin a Mass for six voices for church choirs, and Vespers for more voices with several sacred concertos suitable for princely chapels or apartments. By the time this publication appeared, Monteverdi had been in the service of the Gonzaga court at MantUrauffuhrung for at least 18 years, and he was seeking a change of employment, so that the dedication of the volume to the reigning pope, Paul V, may be interpreted as a form of self-advertisement. Originally issued as an Urtext study score, the edition is based closely on the extant printed source, the set of partbooks published at Venice in 1610, and retains the original note values, key and mensuration signatures.

Pierius Magnus is a historical figure from the Friesland area of Holland. He was a farmer who became a resistance fighter against Dutch oppressors in around 1500. Whether Magnus was a hero or barbarian is still debatable, but composer Jan de Haan was fascinated by the exciting story and let it fuel his imagination. The protagonist is introduced with a capricious theme which is followed by “De Arumer Swarte Heap,“ the troops who took to the battlefields against the Dutch. An eerie calm takes over moments before Pier and his troops let their battle cries sound. The work ends as the disillusioned Pier retreats. A concert work overflowing with excitement!

Pieriu s Magnus is een historisch figuur uit Friesland. Hij was boer én opstandeling tegen de Hollandse onderdrukkers, zo rond het jaar 1500. Was hij een held? Was hij een barbaar? Hoe we hem ook willen zien, Jan de Haan zag in GruttePier ieder geval een spannende bron van inspiratie in voor een compositie. Hij stelt de nationale held direct in het begin aan ons voor met een grillig capricciothema. Daarna volgt: ‘De Arumer Swarte Heap’, zijn bende mannen dieten strijde trok tegen de Hollanders. Een moment van rust valt in. Maar niet voor lang, want de strijd barst in alle hevigheid los! Het werk eindigt met het terugtrekken van een gedesillusioneerde Grutte Pier...

Pierius Magnus ist eine historische Figur aus Friesland, ein Bauer und Aufständischer gegen die holländischen Unterdrücker um 1500. Ob Held oder Barbar lässt sich heute einfach nicht zweifelsfrei belegen, aber der Komponist fand die Geschichte einfach zu spannend, um sie nciht als Inspirationsquelle zu nutzen. In Pierius Magnus wird der Nationalheld gleich zu Beginn des Werkes mit einem kapriziösen Thema vorgestellt, gefolgt von seinem Haufen De Arumer Swarte Heap. Dann- bevor der Kampf beginnt- tritt ein Moment der Ruhe ein, bevor Pier und seine Truppe in den Kampf ziehen. Das Werk endet mit dem Rücken des desillusionierten Pierius.

Pier Gerlofs Donia est l’un des personnages les plus célèbres de l’histoire de la Frise au cours des années 1500.

Le compositeur a trouvé toutefois en cette emblématique figure, une source d’inspiration fascinante.

La storia non ci permette di discernere le reali intenzioni di quest’uomo soprannominato Grutte Pier (il grande Pier) per la sua statura imponente. Fu un paladino della libert o un semplice barbaro? Il compositore ha trovato in questa emblematica figura un’affascinante fonte d’ispirazione. Le prime misure di Pierius Magnus descrivono l’eroe nazionale attraverso un tema capriccioso. Un secondo tema dipinge la brigata nera di Arum, pronta ad affrontare gli olandesi. Un breve momento di calma fa da preludio al combattimento, prima che Pier Grelofsentri in azione. Disilluso, il grande Pier si ritira; la fine dell’opera sancisce anche la fine del combattimento.

In January 1913, Debussy struggled to complete Toomai des elephants as the 11th prelude in Book2, finally replacing it by a rather Stravinskian study Les Tierces alternees. However, his daughter Chouchou was fascinated by elephants and in the summer of 1913, Debussy wrote her a 'Toybox Ballet' (La Boite a joujoux) which contains a 'Pas de l'elephant' and an 'old Hindu chant which is still used to train elephants [in India]. It is constructed on the scale of 5 o'clock in the morning,which means it must be in 5/4 time.' My reconstruction of this lost prelude is based around this material and it evokes a day in the life of Toomai, the young mahout, and his faithful elephant Kala Nag from one dawn to the next, incorporating the legendary 'Elephants' Dance' from Rudyard Kip ling's First Jungle Book (1894) which only Toomai was ever privileged to witness. The version presented here is the revised second version of this prelude which contains an effect of piano harmonics as the dawn returns towards the end.

Here is a brief description of this very fine new work The Secret of Ben Sogen for Trombone and Piano by the composer, Elizabeth Raum: I've always been fascinated by the Nordic heroes that appear in comic books and video games like Thor or Odin. Years ago, I wrote a concerto for tuba called The Legend of Heimdall inspired by Scandinavian folklore, and for this new work for trombone, I found myself drawn to the Danish mythical character, Ben Sogen. My concept was to conjure up a video game champion who goes through various adventures to achieve his final quest. However, the Secret of Ben Sogen is that he doesn't exist. I made him up. My original title was Bone Quest, a pun on the word, trombone, combined with Quest but that didn't evoke the image I wanted so I decided to create a character from the Danish translation of Bone Quest. Thus Ben Sogen. The Hero Trombonist has a theme stated in the beginning, and this motif continues through a variety of backgrounds (or adventures) before the final major key of his goal being achieved. The work is about 7 minutes in length and appropriate for advanced performers.
