Par HESS NIGEL. Photos de la côte est a été commandée par l'orchestre de vent de jeunes britanniques avec des fonds de la National Westminster Bank plc. Ces trois courts ' images ' ont été inspirés par plusieurs visites d'une petite partie de la côte est américaine, un secteur qui offre le grands extrêmes dans la géographie et le peuple. Mouvement 1: Abri Island est une petite île située près de la fin du Long Island, à quelques heures de route à l'est de New York. En été, il devient un piège de touristiques bondé - mais en hiver il est glorieusement déserte et courageusement fait face à l'assaut de l'Atlantique turbulent, entourée de brume de mer et de la pluie. Cette ' image ' est une mémoire de fond d'un week-end d'hiver sur l'île de l'abri. Mouvement 2: Dans l'état de New York se trouvent les monts Catskills - une combinaison extraordinaire de la Majesté et la puissance, la paix et la tranquillité. Une fois vu, ils appellent vous revenir encore et encore. Mouvement 3: New York - ou pour être plus précis, Manhattan. Pour quelqu'un qui est familier avec cette ville étrange et merveilleuse, elle... / Niveau : Facile / Répertoire / Orchestre D'Harmonie

Par HESS NIGEL. Commissioned in 1994 by the Royal Air Force, 'Scramble!' is a concert overture for symphonic wind band inspired by images of the RAF's airfields during the Battle of Britain, immortalised for ever in such films as 'Reach for the Sky'. The pastoral opening depicts the lull before the storm: the young pilots sitting in wicker chairs outside their barracks on a sunlit morning. The peace is, of course, deceptive, suddenly amid siren sounds, there is a shout of 'Scramble!', and a rush to the waiting planes. In no time at all the squadron is airborne, heading for a skirmish over the English Channel and beyond. A lyrical central section featuring a solo cornet depicts the stillness many pilots described as they flew to engage the enemy, before the battle breaks out once more. For those who returned, it would be only a short while before, once again, they would hear the familiar shout of 'Scramble!'/ Répertoire / Orchestre D'Harmonie

Par JANACEK LEOS. Leos Janacek, almost seventy years old, characterised the wind sextet he had just finished as 'a kind of memory of youth' in a letter to Kamila Stösslová. The suite Youth was written in the summer of 1924, prompted by the composer's need to take stock on the occasion of his 70th birthday. Janacek also heard the Parisian ensemble Societe moderne des instruments a vent several times in Salzburg and Brno. He expanded the classic quintet scoring by the addition of a bass clarinet. Janacek referred to an earlier part of his life in this work not only by quoting a theme from March of the Blue Boys, but particularly through his general freshness ofexpression, astute humour and use of form which adhered to the classical style. The piece was enthusiastically received by both critics and the public and appeared in print as early as 1925 issued by the Prague publisher Hudebni matice. Wind sextet in the classical style Urtext based on the Critical Complete Edition of the Works of Leos Janacek New foreword by Jiri Zahradka (Cz/Eng/Ger)/ Répertoire / Ensemble à Vent
