Jamaica is an island in the Caribbean.
In 1494 it was discovered by Christopher Columbus, who used it as private property until 1509. After some skirmishes it fell under British rule and the sugar trade on the island flourished.
After the abolition of slavery in 1834 it was only granted Home Rule in 1944, but it remained a member of the British Commonwealth of Nations.

Whereas the export of cane sugar used to be Jamaica’s main export product for many years, nowadays music has taken over this role. At first American music used to be very popular on the island. Later, however, Jamaican musicians started to experiment and thus in the end created their ownmusical style called Reggae.
Well-known Reggae musicians are Bob Marley and Peter Tosh.

The most important instruments used in Reggae are the bass and the drums. Together they form the base for the style: the riddim. A bass drum accent on the second and fourth beat are characteristic of a typically reggae drum beat. To this syncopic patterns are often added. The rhythm guitarist plays chords in a characteristic Reggae rhythm, not on, but between the beats.

Jamaica is een eiland in het Caribisch-gebied.
Het werd in 1494 ontdekt door Christoffel Columbus, die het tot 1509 als privé-eiland gebruikte. Na enige schermutselingen viel het onder Britse heerschappij en bloeide de suikerhandel.Na afschaffing van de slavernij in 1834 kreeg het uiteindelijk pas in 1944 volledig zelfbestuur. Jamaica is lid van het Britse Gemenebest.

Jaren na de suikerexport is op dit moment de muziek misschien wel het bekendsteexportproduct. Eerst was de Amerikaanse muziek erg populair op het eiland. Later begonnen de Jamaicaanse muzikanten zelf te experimenteren en ontstond uiteindelijk de Reggae.
Bekende reggea artiesten zijn Bob Marleyen Peter Tosh.

De belangrijkste instrumenten bij reggae zijn de bas en de drums. Samen leggen zij de basis voor de stijl neer. de riddim. Een bassdrum-accent op de tweede en de vierde tel, in plaats van de eerste enderde, zijn kenmerkend voor een typisch reggae-drumritme. Dit wordt vaak aangevuld met syncopische patronen. De slag-gitarist speelt de akkoorden in de kenmerkende reggaeslag, niet op maar tussen de tellen.

Edward MacDowell can be regarded as the first great American composer, although he disliked the idea of being classified as any sort of musical nationalist. He composed a large number of orchestral works but it is the charming and unpretentious suite of musical miniatures, Woodland Sketches, that has survived as his best-known work, with To a Wild Rose being the most popular. Philip Sparke has expertly arranged this simple work for brass band.

Philip Sparke bearbeitete dieses Stück des amerikanischen Komponisten Edward MacDowell, der weit über die Grenzen seines Heimatlandes hinaus berühmt ist. To a Wild Rose wurde seinem bekanntesten Werk, den Woodland Sketches, entnommen, einer Reihe anmutiger, unprätentiöser musikalischer Miniaturen. Hieraus ist To a Wild Rose das wohl populärste Stück, dessen Qualität Kritiker zu dem Urteil bewog, es sei so gut, wie der gesamte Rest von MacDowells Klaviermusik.

Edwa rd MacDowell (1860-1908) est considéré comme le premier grand compositeur américain de l’histoire de la musique, bien qu’il refusait avec vigueur d’être associé un quelconque courant musical nationaliste. Edward MacDowell a toujours considéré que la musique était une véritable langue internationale, et ses œuvres sont fortement influencées par le style de composition européen, et plus particulièrement par l’écriture allemande. Compositeur adulé de son vivant dans son pays natal et l’étranger, il était également un pianiste exceptionnel dont la virtuosité a impressionné l’un de ses plus brillants professeurs, Franz Liszt. Edward MacDowell a composé de nombreusesœuvres pour piano, un grand nombre de lieder ainsi que plusieurs œuvres orchestrales. Mais l’œuvre la plus connue de son répertoire est une charmante suite de miniatures musicales pour piano, Woodland Sketches, une composition modeste et stylistiquement simple dont est extraite la plus célèbre de ces miniatures To a Wild Rose (“ une rose sauvage”). L’étonnante sincérité de la mélodie fit dire un grand critique musical que cette mélodie valait toutes les œuvres pour piano réunies de MacDowell.

The Latin American mood of the piece is a salute to the population of California, a state which many feel still clearly displays its Mexican roots. The melody and intoxicating rhythm of the music oozes excitement, thus ensuring every single member of your audience will go home in a joyous mood!

In seine Komposition Fiesta de la Vida - einem Fest des Lebens“ - legte Philip Sparke das Temperament und die Lebensfreude Lateinamerikas hinein. Von den originalen Melodien im lateinamerikanischen Stil werden alle auf der Bühne und im Zuschauerraum zum Tanzen verführt. Absolut ansteckend!

Le caractère latino-américain de la pièce témoigne également du métissage de la population californienne qui puise son identité et ses racines dans les traditions culturelles mexicaines. Néanmoins, aucune mélodie traditionnelle n’apparaît dans le développement. Fiesta de la Vida (“Célébration de la vie”) rend hommage la vitalité et l’enthousiasme des habitants par une musique dont les caractéristiques constituent par excellence les festivités de la joie, du bonheur et de la gaieté.

The Latin American mood of this piece is truly infectious and will make all players, and audience members, get up and dance.Why not add a little Latin spice to any concert with this lively new work.

The Samba is a Latin American dance, which is mostly associated with parties, as a result of the fast tempo in which it is usually played.
‘Sumba Samba’ forms an exception to this rule. In order to get this samba to swing it is important to stick to the tempo prescribed.
‘Sumba Samba’ starts with a motif which will play an important role throughout the piece. This motif can be heard in the first notes of the ‘refrain’ and, as said before, has been used in the introduction, as well as in the transition after the middle part (letter G). Furthermore, it plays an important role in the middle part itself (letter E), in which the samba has momentarily disappeared and acompletely different atmosphere has been created. At letter H we pick up where we left off with the samba and swing to the end of this composition.

De Samba is een Latijns-Amerikaanse dans. De dans wordt meestal geassocieerd met feest, door het vaak snelle tempo waarin het gespeeld wordt.
‘Sumba Samba’ vormt hier een uitzondering op. Om deze samba te laten swingen is hetbelangrijk het voorgeschreven tempo te handhaven.
‘Sumba Samba’ begint met een motief dat in de hele compositie een belangrijke rol speelt. Het zijn de eerste noten van het thema van het ‘refrein’ en wordt zoals gezegd gebruikttijdens de inleiding en bij de overgang na het tussendeel. (letter G). Bovendien speelt het een belangrijke rol in het tussendeel (letter E) waar de samba even weg is en een heel andere sfeer ontstaat. Bij letter H pakken wede samba weer op en swingen we naar het slot.

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, are augmented with exquisite solo figures for cornet and flugel horn. Once you have played this 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.

Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair stammt von Stephen Foster, der im 19. Jahrhundert in Amerika lebte und zahlreiche heute noch bekannte Lieder komponierte. Viele seiner Lieder handeln von der Befreiung der Sklaven, dieses Lied widmete er jedoch seiner Frau während einer langen, unfreiwilligen Trennung von Ihr. Mit Philip Sparkes sensibler Bearbeitung für Brass Band springt der Funke des romantischen Liedes garantiert auf Musiker und Publikum über!

There is a popular misconception that Stephen Collins Foster (1826—1864) found success as a song-writer writing many of his songs aiming to ‘humanise’ the black American slaves. He was a meticulous worker and sometimes spent months perfecting the lyrics of a song. His first success was Oh! Susanna (1848) and as his popularity grew he moved with his young family to New York to be near his publishers. This was not a success and Jane, his wife and Marion, his daughter, moved back to Pittsburgh in 1854. Foster wrote Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair as a result of her continued absence. Philip Sparke’s arrangement of this beautiful song will make an excellent slowinterlude in any concert.

Stephen Bullas highly descriptive work was written to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Iwo Jima, which took place between the 19th February and 26th March 1945.
Casualties on both the American and Japanese sides were horrendously high before the famous image of the raising of the flag on top of Mount Suribachi signalled the end of one of the most significant and terrifying Pacific conflicts of the SecondWorld War.
The work received its first performance by the brass choir of the U.S. Marine Band at the National Cathedral in Washington D.C. and is divided into four programmatic sections.
The first portrays the sense of anticipation before conflict (Prologue), before the arduous journey to the scene of the battle (Approach by Sea) is followed by introspection and prayer featuring the hymn tune Melita (Chorale Prayer), andfinally, the hostile confrontation itself (Engagement).
There are frequent references to the Marines Hymn and the US National Anthem, particularly in the closing bars, depicting the ultimate raising of the American flag.

Austrian composer and organist Franz Xaver Gruber composed the original version of this Christmas work in 1818. It is probably one of the most famous of all Christmas carols and should not be missed from any Christmas concert. American composer William Gordon has produced this arrangement for brass band.

Das originale Weihnachtslied wurde vom österreichischen Komponisten und Organisten Franz Xaver Gruber am 24. Dezember 1818 im Auftrag des Priesters der Sankt- Nikolaus-Kirche von Oberndorf komponiert. Der Priester selbst verfasste den Text für dieses romantische Lied, das geprägt ist von der österreichischen Volksmusik und der italienischen pastoralen Musik. Stille Nacht ist das wohl bekannteste und am weitesten verbreitete Weihnachtslied überhaupt und darf bei keinem Weihnachtskonzert fehlen. Der amerikanische Komponist William Gordon richtete dieses Arrangement für Brass Band ein.
