Following the death of his mother in 1888, a depressed Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921) decided to take a trip to his favorite destination, North Africa, travelling to Ceylon, then to Alexandria and Cairo over the period of several months. While he was in Egypt, he composed his fantasia for piano and orchestra, AFRICA, Op. 89. Dedicated to pianist Marie-Aimée Roger-Miclos, it premiered on October 25, 1891, with the dedicatee playing the solo, and the work was an immediate success both at the premiere and after, which pleased Saint-Saëns a great deal to the point that he considered AFRICA a signature work. Borrowing themes and techniques from North African music, the fantasy draws on material he heard in Algeria and Egypt, offering an exotic sound to those listening in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This concertante is notable also as one of the first works to be recorded with the composer as soloist, with a surviving 1904 recording with Saint-Saëns at the piano. This colorful piece continues to be performed regularly today. Reprint edition. Instrumentation: 2.2.2.2: 2.0+2.3.0: Timp.Perc(2): Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set): Solo Piano.

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

This work in four sections is written for a four-part variable instrumentation together with drums. We start off_x001E_ in the _x001F_first movement on an adventurous safari. In the second and third movements weâ??re on the hunt for great beasts of Africa, which can also be heard with all their stomping, screeching and yelling. A wonderful musical safari that all musicians and listeners alike will enjoy!

Dit werk voor vierstemmige variabele bezetting met slagwerk beschrijft in vier deeltjes verschillende taferelen van het Afrikaanse continent. In het eerste deel gaan we op safari. In het tweede deel gaan we op zoek naar een olifant, een neushoorn, een luipaard een leeuw en een buffel. Welke reptielen kunnen we ontdekken in het derde deel? En hoe kan het beter stoppen dan met een â??Monkey Rockâ??? Tijdens het werk kun je actief verschillende dierengeluiden nabootsen, waardoor je je echt in de jungle waant!

Dieses vierteilige Werk ist für eine vierstimmig variable Besetzung und Schlagzeug instrumentiert. Der Titel spricht schon für sich: In African Scenes spielt der schwarze Kontinent die Hauptrolle. Im ersten Satz starten wir zu einer abenteuerlichen Safari. Im zweiten Teil geht es auf die Suche nach den ?Big Fiveâ?? - den groÃ?en Fünfâ??: Elefant, Nashorn, Leopard, Löwe und Büffel. Im dritten Satz begegnen wir allerlei unheimlichen Reptilien, bevor das Werk fröhlich mit dem ?Monkey Rockâ?? endet, in dem auch ein Affenruf vertont wird.

Cette pièce en quatre mouvements est une oeuvre instrumentation variable quatre voix et percussions. Le titre parle de lui-même : dans African Scenes, le continent Noir tient le premier rôle. Le premier mouvement nous entraîne dans un safari plein dâ??émotions. Dans le deuxième nous observons les grands seigneurs de la savane : éléphant, rhinocéros, léopard, lion et buffl_x001A_e. Le climat du troisième mouvement donne un peu la chair de poule alors que nous rencontrons toutes sortes de reptiles dangereux. Heureusement, lâ??oeuvre sâ??achève avec le joyeux Monkey Rock, au cours duquel nous entendons même le cri dâ??un singe.

Questo brano in quattro parti è pensato per strumentazione variabile a quattro voci e percussioni. Il titolo parla da solo: in African Scenes il continente nero riveste il ruolo principale. Il primo movimento vede i protagonisti iniziare un avventuroso safari. Nella seconda parte inizia la ricerca dei â??Big-Fiveâ?: elefante, rinoceronte, leopardo, leone e bufalo. Il terzo movimento si caratterizza dallâ??inaspettato incontro con rettili rari, e precede il quarto e ultimo movimento. Monkey Rock, in stile più giocoso, rappresenta lâ??incontro con una simpatica e vivace scimmietta.

Concert Band/Harmonie - Grade 3

SKU: BT.GOB-000318-140

Composed by Carl Wittrock. Score Only. 20 pages. Gobelin Music Publications #GOB 000318-140. Published by Gobelin Music Publications (BT.GOB-000318-140).

Carl Wittrock's wide interest in global folk-music resulted in this concert-piece based on original African rhythms.
Obviously, the percussion section has a conspicious role to play, but the band too may indulge itself in moments of thoroughly delightful excitement.
The introduction depicts the awakening of nature, and develops into a dance. The (main) motif of this dance is from a dance entitled Apollo and comes from Gambia. Its accompaniment consists of an ostinato pattern by balaphon-master Maudo Susa.
The quiet middle movement is based on the rhythm of the 'gigbo' : a traditional dance from Ghana.
In the final movement -which also bears a slight resemblanceto a theme from 'The Lion King'- the so-called 'Kono' rhythm is used. The work is played most advantageously using djembes.

Challenge and please your percussion section with 'The African Connection'. Carl Wittrock's brede interesse voor de wereldmuziek resulteerde in dit op originele Afrikaanse ritmes gebaseerde concertwerk.
Het slagwerk speelt uiteraard een opvallende rol, maar ook het orkest kan zich op een heerlijke manier uitleven.
De inleiding schildert het ontwaken van de natuur, welke overgaat in een dans. Het motief van deze dans (Apollo) is afkomstig uit Gambia. De begeleiding bestaat uit een ostinaatpatroon van de balafon-meester Maudo Susa.
De basis van het rustige middendeel is gelegen in het ritme van de Gigbo, een traditionele dans uit Ghana.
Het laatste deel (met enige gelijkenis met The Lion King) maakt gebruik van het zogenaamde Kono ritme.
Het werk komt het best tot zijn recht als er gebruik wordt gemaakt van djembes.

Daag uw percussie sectie uit en doe ze een groot plezier met: The African Connection!
