Queen
Cleopatra ruled Egypt for
over 20 years. She is one
of antiquity’s
best-known women, in
particular because of her
relationships with Julius
Caesar and, above all,
Mark-Anthony, but also
because the cause of her
death remainsa mystery.
The work is split into
three parts and performed
without breaks. The first
section begins with a
bright introduction
representing
Mark-Anthony. Dynamic in
nature and reminiscent of
military music, this
characterises theRoman
general. But soon after,
another theme emerges,
softer and more melodic,
symbolising
Cleopatra’s
femininity. The two
characters then combine
on a faster tempo. The
middle section of the
work depicts the love
thatMark-Anthony and
Cleopatra feel for each
other. This passionate
relationship lasted ten
years and produced three
children. This is
expressed by a warm and
intense theme, just like
the beauty of the
Egyptian queen. The third
andlast section opens in
a determined and military
mood. Mark-Anthony and
Cleopatra were often
apart, the Roman general
was often away on a
campaign. They met up in
Alexandria to celebrate
their triumph. But, as
the targets of
thejealousy and ambition
of Octavius, Julius
Caesar’s son, the
lovers are trapped and
await the inevitable
conquest of Egypt by the
Romans. When Mark-Anthony
heard the false news that
Cleopatra had committed
suicide, he ended his
ownlife. The Queen of
Egypt, for her part, was
imprisoned shortly
afterwards. The two
lovers remain one of
History’s most
famous couples. This
piece was commissioned by
the Wind Orchestra of the
town of Antony, near
Paris, directedby
Philippe Rossignol, to
mark its 90th
anniversary.
Konin
gin Cleopatra heerste
meer dan twintig jaar
lang over Egypte. Ze is
een van de bekendste
vrouwen uit de oudheid,
vanwege haar relatie met
Julius Caesar en vooral
die met Marcus Antonius,
maar ook omdat de oorzaak
van haardood altijd een
mysterie is gebleven. Dit
werk bestaat uit drie in
elkaar overlopende delen.
Het eerste deel begint
met de levendige
introductie van Marcus
Antonius. Met het
dynamische en enigszins
militaire karakter van de
muziekwordt de Romeinse
generaal krachtig
neergezet. Snel daarna
doemt een zachter en
melodieuzer thema op een
weerspiegeling van
Cleopatra’s
vrouwelijkheid. De twee
persoonlijkheden gaan
vervolgens samen verder
in een vlotter tempo.Het
middelste deel beschrijft
de liefde die Marcus
Antonius en Cleopatra
voor elkaar voelden. Hun
hartstochtelijke relatie
duurde tien jaar en
bracht drie kinderen
voort. Dit wordt
uitgedrukt in een warm en
intens thema waarintevens
de schoonheid van de
Egyptische koningin
doorschemert. Het derde
en laatste deel opent
vastberaden en in
militaire sfeer. Marcus
Antonius en Cleopatra
waren vaak bij elkaar
vandaan: de generaal was
geregeld weg om strijd
tevoeren. In
Alexandrië vierden ze
samen hun triomf, maar de
jaloezie en ambitie van
Octavius, de zoon van
Julius Caesar, gooide
roet in het eten. De
geliefden werden in de
val gelokt en de
onvermijdelijke
verovering van Egypte
doorde Romeinen volgde al
snel. Toen Marcus
Antonius het onjuiste
bericht kreeg dat
Cleopatra zelfmoord had
gepleegd, maakte hij een
eind aan zijn eigen
leven: de koningin van
Egypte werd op haar beurt
kort daarna
gevangengezet. Detwee
geliefden behoren tot de
beroemdste stellen uit de
wereldgeschiedenis.
Cleopatra werd in
opdracht geschreven om
het negentigjarig bestaan
van het blaasorkest uit
de gemeente Antony dicht
bij Parijs te markeren.

Spirit of
Endeavour is a
virtuosic piece of music
with a positive musical
message. It tells the
story of a wind band
embracing hard work,
friendship, musical
excellence, love,
marriage and birth, as
well as the sad loss of
cherished members.
Composer Philip Sparke
decided to salute the
history of the Canadian
concert band 'Harmonie de
Charlesbourg' with a work
that falls into two
contrasted sections.
One Vision deals
with forming the band and
the subsequent united
desire to create an
ensemble espousing the
idea of musical
perfection. The
Pursuit of Excellence
salutes the 20 years of
hard work of the wind
band. This concert work
ends with a chorale of
thefull band, symbolising
the fulfilment of a
united dream!
Het
werk weerspiegelt het
verhaal achter de
Harmonie de Charlesbourg
vanaf het begin in 1993.
Dat verhaal kent vele
facetten en behelst
verschillende aspecten
van het menselijk
bestaan: hard werk,
vriendschap, het streven
naar muzikale schoonheid,
liefde, huwelijk en
geboorte, maar ook het
droevige verlies van
gewaardeerde leden.
Componist Philip Sparke
besloot dit alles weer te
geven in twee
contrasterende delen: het
eerste, One Vision,
verklankt Francois
Dorions vooruitziende
blik bij de oprichting
van het orkest en de
daaropvolgende wens om
een ensemble te creeren
dat het ideaal van
muzikale perfectie zou
omarmen. Het tweede deel,
The Pursuit of
Excellence, is een odeaan
twintig jaar van grote
inspanningen waardoor de
Harmonie de Charlesbourg
de nagestreefde doelen
heeft kunnen bereiken:
inmiddels neemt het
orkest een trotse plaats

I n 1803,
President Thomas
Jefferson sent Meriwether
Lewis and William Clarks
Corps of Discovery to
find a water route to the
Pacific and explore the
uncharted West. He
believed woolly mammoths,
erupting volcanoes, and
mountains of pure salt
awaited them. What they
found was no less
mind-boggling: some 300
species unknown to
science, nearly 50 Indian
tribes, and the Rockies.
I have been a student of
the Lewis and Clark
expedition, which Thomas
Jefferson called the
Voyage of Discovery, for
as long as I can
remember. This
astonishing journey,
lasting more than
two-and-a-half years,
began and ended in St.
Louis, Missouri and took
the travelers up more
than a few rivers in
their quest to find the
Northwest Passage to the
Pacific Ocean. In an age
without speedy
communication, this was
akin to space travel out
of radio range in our own
time: no one knew if,
indeed, the party had
even survived the voyage
for more than a year.
Most of them were
soldiers. A few were
French-Canadian voyageurs
hired trappers and
explorers, who were
fluent in French (spoken
extensively in the
region, due to earlier
explorers from France)
and in some of the Indian
languages they might
encounter. One of the
voyageurs, a man named
Pierre Cruzatte, also
happened to be a
better-than-average
fiddle player. In many
respects, the travelers
were completely on their
own for supplies and
survival, yet,
incredibly, only one of
them died during the
voyage. Jefferson had
outfitted them with food,
weapons, medicine, and
clothing and along with
other trinkets, a box of
200 jaw harps to be used
in trading with the
Indians. Their trip was
long, perilous to the
point of near
catastrophe, and arduous.
The dream of a Northwest
Passage proved ephemeral,
but the northwestern
quarter of the continent
had finally been
explored, mapped, and
described to an anxious
world. When the party
returned to St. Louis in
1806, and with the
Louisiana Purchase now
part of the United
States, they were greeted
as national heroes. I
have written a sizeable
number of works for wind
ensemble that draw their
inspiration from the
monumental spaces found
in the American West.
Four of them (Arches, The
Yellowstone Fires,
Glacier, and Zion) take
their names, and in large
part their being, from
actual national parks in
Utah, Wyoming, and
Montana. But Upriver,
although it found its
voice (and its finale) in
the magnificent Columbia
Gorge in Oregon, is about
a much larger region.
This piece, like its
brother works about the
national parks, doesnt
try to tell a story.
Instead, it captures the
flavor of a certain time,
and of a grand adventure.
Cast in one continuous
movement and lasting
close to fourteen
minutes, the piece falls
into several subsections,
each with its own
heading: The Dream (in
which Jeffersons vision
of a vast expanse of
western land is opened);
The Promise, a chorale
that re-appears several
times in the course of
the piece and represents
the seriousness of the
presidential mission; The
River; The Voyageurs; The
River II ; Death and
Disappointment; Return to
the Voyage; and The River
III . The music includes
several quoted melodies,
one of which is familiar
to everyone as the
ultimate river song, and
which becomes the
through-stream of the
work. All of the quoted
tunes were either sung by
the men on the voyage, or
played by Cruzattes
fiddle. From various
journals and diaries, we
know the men found
enjoyment and solace in
music, and almost every
night encampment had at
least a bit of music in
it. In addition to
Cruzatte, there were two
other members of the
party who played the
fiddle, and others made
do with singing, or
playing upon sticks,
bones, the ever-present
jaw harps, and boat
horns. From Lewis
journals, I found all the
tunes used in Upriver:
Shenandoah (still popular
after more than 200
years), Vla bon vent,
Soldiers Joy, Johnny Has
Gone for a Soldier, Come
Ye Sinners Poor and Needy
(a hymn sung to the tune
Beech Spring) and Fishers
Hornpipe. The work
follows an emotional
journey: not necessarily
step-by-step with the
Voyage of Discovery
heroes, but a kind of
grand arch. Beginning in
the mists of history and
myth, traversing peaks
and valleys both real and
emotional (and a solemn
funeral scene), finding
help from native people,
and recalling their zeal
upon finding the one
great river that will, in
fact, take them to the
Pacific. When the men
finally roar through the
Columbia Gorge in their
boats (a feat that even
the Indians had not
attempted), the
magnificent river
combines its theme with
the chorale of Jeffersons
Promise. The Dream is
fulfilled: not quite the
one Jefferson had
imagined (there is no
navigable water passage
from the Missouri to the
Pacific), but the dream
of a continental
destiny.

Following a
celebrated series of wind
ensemble tone poems about
national parks in the
American West, Dan
Welcher’s Upriver
celebrates the Lewis &
Clark Expedition from the
Missouri River to
Oregon’s Columbia
Gorge, following the
Louisiana Purchase of
1803. Welcher’s
imaginative textures and
inventiveness are freshly
modern, evoking our
American heritage,
including references to
Shenandoah and other folk
songs known to have been
sung on the expedition.
For advanced players.
Duration:
14’. In 1803,
President Thomas
Jefferson sent Meriwether
Lewis and William
Clark’s Corps of
Discovery to find a water
route to the Pacific and
explore the uncharted
West. He believed woolly
mammoths, erupting
volcanoes, and mountains
of pure salt awaited
them. What they found was
no less mind-boggling:
some 300 species unknown
to science, nearly 50
Indian tribes, and the
Rockies.Ihave been a
student of the Lewis and
Clark expedition, which
Thomas Jefferson called
the “Voyage of
Discovery,†for as
long as I can remember.
This astonishing journey,
lasting more than
two-and-a-half years,
began and ended in St.
Louis, Missouri —
and took the travelers up
more than a few rivers in
their quest to find the
Northwest Passage to the
Pacific Ocean. In an age
without speedy
communication, this was
akin to space travel out
of radio range in our own
time: no one knew if,
indeed, the party had
even survived the voyage
for more than a year.
Most of them were
soldiers. A few were
French-Canadian voyageurs
— hired trappers
and explorers, who were
fluent in French (spoken
extensively in the
region, due to earlier
explorers from France)
and in some of the Indian
languages they might
encounter. One of the
voyageurs, a man named
Pierre Cruzatte, also
happened to be a
better-than-average
fiddle player. In many
respects, the travelers
were completely on their
own for supplies and
survival, yet,
incredibly, only one of
them died during the
voyage. Jefferson had
outfitted them with food,
weapons, medicine, and
clothing — and
along with other
trinkets, a box of 200
jaw harps to be used in
trading with the Indians.
Their trip was long,
perilous to the point of
near catastrophe, and
arduous. The dream of a
Northwest Passage proved
ephemeral, but the
northwestern quarter of
the continent had finally
been explored, mapped,
and described to an
anxious world. When the
party returned to St.
Louis in 1806, and with
the Louisiana Purchase
now part of the United
States, they were greeted
as national heroes.Ihave
written a sizeable number
of works for wind
ensemble that draw their
inspiration from the
monumental spaces found
in the American West.
Four of them (Arches, The
Yellowstone Fires,
Glacier, and Zion) take
their names, and in large
part their being, from
actual national parks in
Utah, Wyoming, and
Montana. But Upriver,
although it found its
voice (and its finale) in
the magnificent Columbia
Gorge in Oregon, is about
a much larger region.
This piece, like its
brother works about the
national parks,
doesn’t try to
tell a story. Instead, it
captures the flavor of a
certain time, and of a
grand adventure. Cast in
one continuous movement
and lasting close to
fourteen minutes, the
piece falls into several
subsections, each with
its own heading: The
Dream (in which
Jefferson’s vision
of a vast expanse of
western land is opened);
The Promise, a chorale
that re-appears several
times in the course of
the piece and represents
the seriousness of the
presidential mission; The
River; The Voyageurs; The
River II ; Death and
Disappointment; Return to
the Voyage; and The River
III .The music includes
several quoted melodies,
one of which is familiar
to everyone as the
ultimate “river
song,†and which
becomes the
through-stream of the
work. All of the quoted
tunes were either sung by
the men on the voyage, or
played by
Cruzatte’s fiddle.
From various journals and
diaries, we know the men
found enjoyment and
solace in music, and
almost every night
encampment had at least a
bit of music in it. In
addition to Cruzatte,
there were two other
members of the party who
played the fiddle, and
others made do with
singing, or playing upon
sticks, bones, the
ever-present jaw harps,
and boat horns. From
Lewis’ journals, I
found all the tunes used
in Upriver: Shenandoah
(still popular after more
than 200 years),
V’la bon vent,
Soldier’s Joy,
Johnny Has Gone for a
Soldier, Come Ye Sinners
Poor and Needy (a hymn
sung to the tune
“Beech
Springâ€) and
Fisher’s Hornpipe.
The work follows an
emotional journey: not
necessarily step-by-step
with the Voyage of
Discovery heroes, but a
kind of grand arch.
Beginning in the mists of
history and myth,
traversing peaks and
valleys both real and
emotional (and a solemn
funeral scene), finding
help from native people,
and recalling their zeal
upon finding the one
great river that will, in
fact, take them to the
Pacific. When the men
finally roar through the
Columbia Gorge in their
boats (a feat that even
the Indians had not
attempted), the
magnificent river
combines its theme with
the chorale of
Jefferson’s
Promise. The Dream is
fulfilled: not quite the
one Jefferson had
imagined (there is no
navigable water passage
from the Missouri to the
Pacific), but the dream
of a continental
destiny.

Max Steiner was born in
Vienna in 1888, and grew
up surrounded by music.
He was a student of the
Imperial Academy of
Music, having among his
teachers Gustav Mahler.
In 1936 he signed an
agreement with Warner.
Steiner, considered the
father of symphonic music
in Hollywood style. One
of his most famous and
popular masterworks is,
without any doubt, Gone
with the Wind (1939). The
movie was an immediate
success and won ten
Academy Awards. In spite
of the years passed, this
movie still moves young
audiences around the
world. Lorenzo Bocci has
chosen the song Tara?s
Theme from this movie and

It is truly one of the

This piece is a
loving tribute to Mr.
Herrick and his amazing
contribution to the
students of Lynden for
over thirty years. The
music begins with a
spirited section
oscillating between 6/8
and 2/4 time. It should
maintain a pulsing
feeling throughout. The
main melody appears at m.
25 and has a lilting,
reminiscing quality to
it. After some further
development, it moves to
a B-section at m. 41 with
some warm brass passages.
The woodwinds should soar
over the top with their
counter line. The lower
voices take over the
melody at m. 59. The
harmony becomes more
discordant at m. 71 with
passages trading between
the brass and woodwinds.
This tension
releases into a slow
section that features a
flowing, heartfelt
melody. This builds to
the big moment at m. 112.
The timpani ushers us
back to the 6/8, 2/4
section. The melody is
now accompanied by some
flowing counterpoint at
m. 153 which leads to the
B-section again at m.
169. This time the
woodwinds take the lead
and the brass provide the
counter line. A final big
moment at m. 194 is the
culmination and high
point of the composition.
A brief fast section puts
a bow on the piece for a

finale.

Jour
ney back to ancient
Greece and view a place
of long-gone legend.
Follow the trail to the
Kingdom of Ithaca, from
the heroic palace, to a
place of tranquility, to
a reckless dance of
abandon, to the return of
Odysseus. The melodic
material used in 200 B.C.
is from a two thousand
year old Greek hymn to
Apollo. The legendary
adventures of Odysseus as
described by Homer in the
Odyssey (ca. 700 B.C.)
provide the programmatic
material. The music is
freely based upon the
First Delphic Hymn (or
Paen to Apollo), composed
ca. 200 B.C. The source
is a transcription
appearing on pages 363 -
367 of Ancient and
Oriental Music, Edited by
Egon Wellesz (Oxford
University Press: London,
1957). Each movement of
the work depicts a key
event in the epic Homeric
poem, as described below.
Movement I: Intrada - The
first four notes of this
movement, C - Bb - G -
Bb, are the melodic and
harmonic foundation for
the entire work. These
pitches, introduced in a
simple and direct manner,
are subsequently
developed in more complex
fashions throughout the
suite. Following this
stately introduction is a
militaristic fanfare that
introduces the
dotted-eighth and
sixteenth-note figure
later reprised in the
second and fourth
movements. Indeed, all
the musical ideas which
will be central to the
remaining movements first
appear in the Intrada.
This movement depicts the
grandeur of Odysseus and
his kingdom in Ithaca,
and establishes the
heroic mood of the entire
work. Movement II: Ballad
- After a brief
restatement of the
opening
dotted-eighth-and-sixteen
th fanfare, the second
movement extracts the
falling third (Bb to G)
from the C - Bb - G - Bb
motif and extends it and
expands it into a
haunting solo for alto
saxophone. The C - Bb - G
- Bb motif appears again
(see measures 23 - 33 in
trumpets) as counterpoint
to this melody, now
pulsing through the thick
texture of the band. Many
performers have come to
view the Ballad as the
emotional epicenter of
the entire suite; my
conception of the Ballad
is to achieve a union of
pathos and strength.
Programmatically, this
movement depicts
Odysseus's son,
Telemachos, as he both
longs for Odysseus's
return and stoically
defends his father's
kingdom. Movement III:
Dance - It will take
Odysseus twenty years to
return to Ithaca. During
his absence, noblemen
besiege his palace,
violating the sanctity of
the household and seeking
the hand of his wife,
Penelope. This movement
depicts the wanton
revelries that result.
The original four-note
motif is chromatically
altered and the meter is
made irregular. The rapid
tempo, driving
percussion, and angular
meter and melodies
combine in an explosion
of reckless abandon.
Movement IV: March
Building from a delicate
woodwind ensemble
accompanied by finger
cymbals to a fully
orchestrated statement
replete with thundering
percussion, this is a
resounding march of
victory. Odysseus has
returned in triumph to
restore dignity to his
household and to reclaim
the throne of the Kingdom
of Ithaca. Ensemble

This piece was
composed in 2009 for a
commission by Shinjuku
Bunka Center to
commemorate its thirty
years since its
opening.It is an
impressive work with a
brilliant, bright
fanfare, and the stately
sound of the church organ
reverberating through the
concert hall. The first
performance was given by
Hiroko Takahashi, a house
organist of the center,
with Shinjuku City Wind
Orchestra conducted by
Shigeto Ishizu. Original
works for church organ
and wind orchestra are
surprisingly scarce. This
is a fresh opening piece,
to be followed by an
organ solo which might
lead to a
march.
Dit werk is
in 2009 gecomponeerd in
opdracht van het Shinjuku
Bunka Center, ter
gelegenheid van het
dertigjarig bestaan van
dit concert- en
cultuurgebouw. Het is een
indrukwekkend stuk muziek
met een schitterende,
stralende fanfare,
waarbij de orgelklanken
door de concertzaal
schallen. De première
werd gespeeld door Hiroko
Takahashi, huisorganist
van het centrum, en het
Shinjuku City Wind
Orchestra onder leiding
van Shigeto Ishizu.
Verrassend genoeg zijn er
niet veel oorspronkelijke
composities voor orgel en
blaasorkest geschreven.
Gelukkig is dit een mooie
aanvulling op het
repertoire. Dit levendige
openingswerk kan
bijvoorbeeld heel goed
worden gevolgd door een
solowerkvoor orgel,
waarna een mars op het
programma zou kunnen
staan.
Dieses
Stück wurde im Auftrag
des Shinjuku Bunka
Centers komponiert, zu
Ehren des 30-jährigen
Jubiläum der
Eröffnung dieses
Kultur- und
Konzertzentrums in Tokio.
Celebration
Fanfare ist ein
eindrucksvolles Werk mit
einer brillanten,
strahlenden Fanfare und
einer Kirchenorgel, deren
feierlicher Klang durch
den Konzertsaal hallt.
Bei der Uraufführung
spielte Hiroko Takahashi,
der Hausorganist des
Zentrums, zusammen mit
dem Shinjuku City Wind
Orchestra unter der
Leitung von Shigeto
Ishizu. Originalwerke
für Kirchenorgel und
Blasorchester sind
überraschenderweise
sehr rar. Dieses Stück
eignet sich perfekt als
Eröffnungsstück,
dem ein Orgelsolo und
dann eventuell einMarsch
folgen könnte.

Australian
water dragons are fairly
large lizards that have
been around for 20
million years or so, and
they can be seen along
the rivers and waterways
of Eastern Australia. For
some Australian
Aborigines, the water
dragon is said to bring
divine presence and a
gateway to the astral
world. This programmatic
work portrays these
mystical primordial
creatures playing around
in the midday sun.

Percy
Grainger's Irish Tune
from County Derry is
unquestionably one of the
most beloved standards of
the concert band
repertoire. Rob
Romeyn’s brilliant
arrangement for the
Command series of this
iconic work has been
skillfully and carefully
adapted to better fit the
instrumentation of a
smaller ensemble, thus
allowing the piece to be
performed effectively by
many more bands who would
otherwise not have the
opportunity. All of
Grainger's iconic melodic
and harmonic lines and
harmonic structure are
present and left intact.
We predict this wonderful
arrangement will become a
classic and will be a
valuable addition to the
repertoire for many years
to come. Great music for
younger performers!

will make your band sound
mature beyond their

effective at ceremonial
events including

Based on the
ever-popular folk song
Simple Gifts, this
beautiful setting has
been created through the
use of only six different
notes.
Swearingen’s
ability to make a band
sound mature beyond their

we’ve all come to
appreciate. You can be
certain that audiences of
all ages will be deeply
touched by this highly
expressive work. Simply
breathtaking!
