Arr. Philip Sparke. Par HENRY VIII. The English king, Henry VIII (1491-1547), is mainly remembered for disposing of his wives on a regular basis and breaking with the Catholic Church when the Pope Clement VII refused to grant him a divorce so he could marry Anne Boleyn. As a young man he was a gifted athlete, dancer and composer, writing many songs, poems and consort pieces (though not Greensleeves, as is often believed). Pastime with Good Company is undoubtedly the best-known of these, written in the first years of the 16th century while he was still a handsome prince, newly married to Catherine of Aragon and the envy of Europe. The lyrics tell of the joys of hunting, dancing and singing and would have been sungas part of the court entertainment. This arrangement features a quartet of soloists and two solo drummers. / Niveau : 3 / Répertoire / Fanfare

Arr. Don Campbell. Remarqué par le grand Luciano Pavarotti dont il devient le protégé, Andrea Bocelli se fait connaître dans le monde entier avec Con te partirò (Time to Say Goodbye), une chanson écrite par Francesco Sartori et Lucio Quarantotto pour le Festival de San Remo 1995. Ténor d’inspiration lyrique, il chante, à la fois, la musique pop et classique. Il est l’artiste classique avec le plus d'albums vendus à son actif, soit plus de 70 millions d'exemplaires dans le monde. Time to Say Goodbye : un must au répertoire de votre formation. / Niveau : 3 / Musique pour célébration / Répertoire / Fanfare

Par SPARKE PHILIP. The Saga of Haakon the Good reflektiert das Leben von König Haakon I von Norwegen (um 920-961). Jeder der vier Sätze dieses Werkes hat etwas Besonderes zu bieten - von ausdrucksvollen Lento-Passagen bis zu dynamischen rhythmischen Abschnitten und vielen spannenden Soli. Wahrhaft meisterlich! / Niveau : 5 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Fanfare

Quelle est cette odeur agreable. ‘Whence is that Goodly Fragrance Flowing?’ is the first line of an old French Christmas song that originated in the 17th century. In 1728 John Gay used this joyous and markedly festive melody that honours Jesus Christ and His miraculous birth in his Beggar’s Opera. Philip Sparke has given this melody a new lease of life with his charming and imaginative arrangement for the Christmas season. / Niveau : 3 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Fanfare

Par PASTORE CARMINE. Fun for all!! The chorale style opening soon turns into a rousing, funky-jazzy-gospel riff-style roof-raiser that will have your audience tapping along. It's nice for the concert band to get the opportunity to play something 'jazzy' once in a while, and you know the audience will love it as much as the band does. Plenty of opportunity to study jazz-style phrasing in the concert band, interesting Percussion parts, a catchy tune and good linear motion for all move GETTIN' GOSPEL to the 'top of the list'. The only danger here is that the band might like it a little TOO much, and want to play it every day. / Niveau : 2 / Musique légère originale / Répertoire / Fanfare
