The composition the Lonesome Knight was based on a fairytale. The piece was written by Saskia Apon for the National Brass Band Championships 2001.

Once upon a time there was a knight who went to fight and defeat the dragon that had beenkilling the people of his town.
There is a short but intense battle between the two and the knight is triumphant. However whilst persuing the dragon the knight has travelled far away from his home and now is lost. He roames around trying to findhis way home, but exhausted and weary he falls to the ground. He awakens startled by a Giant and a group of Goblins who are celebrating the death of the dragon.
The knight joins in the festivities but after a long evening is once more leftalone.
The sun rises the following morning and he sees a castle on the horizon. He enthousiastcally ventures towards the castle in the hope of meeting other people.
However he becomes greatly disillusioned when there is none to be found. Inhis desperation the knight climbs the tower ready to jump off.
Suddenly he hears a heavenly voice. Right before him is the most beautiful princess he has ever seen. She graciously thanks him for killing the dragon, a spark ingnites between themand they build a life together and.... live happily ever after!

Atpresent she is the in-house arranger for The Rotterdam Philarmonic Brass Ensemble.
Besides the customary attention for the real splashworks she endeavours to add value to the melodic function of the brass wind instruments in her music. Hercompositions and arrangements can be found on many diverse Cds.The composition the Lonesome Knight was based on a fairytale.

Brass Band - Grade 3

SKU: BT.DHP-1064073-030

Composed by Jan Van der Roost. Concert and Contest Collection Brass Band en Fanfare. Festive and Solemn Music. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 2006. De Haske Publications #DHP 1064073-030. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-1064073-030).

9x12 inches. English-German-French-Dut ch.

Adagio for Brass is full of beautiful lyrical melodies and the warm harmony and full orchestration give the audience and the band the chance to give their thoughts free reign in a contemplative atmosphere. A wonderfully uplifting work suitable for concerts on all occasions and certainly not one to be missed.

Das ruhige und feierliche Adagio zeichnet sich durch melodische Weite und Ausdruckskraft aus. Lyrische Melodien, eine warme Harmonik und die volle Orchestrierung bieten Publikum und Musikern die Gelegenheit, ihren Gedanken in einer besinnlichen Atmosphäre freien Lauf zu lassen. Ein wunderbar aufbauendes Werk, das sich für viele Anlässe eignet.

Adagio for Winds est une œuvre de commande pour la Fanfare Royale Ridder Jans Zonen de Dadizele en Belgique. Elle a été composée en mémoire de Walther Bekaert (1933-2002) et dédiée An Bekaert. Jan Van der Roost en a réalisé cette sublime orchestration pour Brass Band publiée sous le titre : Adagio for Brass.Le discours musical est serein et profond l’instar du célèbre Canterbury Chorale - une œuvre antérieure de Jan Van der Roost - sans jamais tomber dans un mélodrame exagéré. La structure mélodique est fluide, ample et d’une grande puissance expressive. Aucune nuance de tristesse, de rancœur ou de révolte sourde n’est perceptible. Lamusique est porteuse d’espoir mais aussi d’une certaine résignation d’où l’utilisation d’un environnement presqu’exclusiveme nt centré sur la tierce Majeure. Une interprétation en hommage un être cher disparu accentue le souvenir des belles choses. Une interprétation dans un contexte neutre permet de souligner la mélodie lyrique, les harmonies chatoyantes et la richesse de l’orchestration. Les musiciens et le public ont ainsi la possibilité de laisser s’épanouir leur imagination dans une atmosphère contemplative. L’accord final élargi symbolise d’une certaine manière la finitude et l’infinitude de la vie. La mort marque la fin de l’existence d’un être mais ne détruit ni les liens d’amour, ni la vie en général.
