The Carpenters have become icons of American pop culture and have experienced a global popularity since they first appeared on the music scene in the 1970's. This partnership of Richard Carpenter and his sister Karen had an impressive number of huge hits of which I Need to be In Love is one of the most popular. This new arrangement by Kazuhiro Morita is sure to be a highly popular with your audiences utilising the delicious vocal harmonies for which the Carpenters were famed.

I Need to Be in Love ist eine Ballade der amerikanischen Gruppe The Carpenters aus dem Jahr 1976. Der sehnsuchtsvolle Titel war tatsächlich sogar das Lieblingslied der Sängerin Karen Carpenter. Dass der Titel im Jahr 1995 erneut erfolgreich veröffentlicht wurde, beweist die Beliebtheit und Zeitlosigkeit dieses wunderschönen Liedes, das Kazuhiro Morita nun in einer Blasorchesterbearbeitung vorlegt.

The Carpenters, monument de la culture pop américaine, ont connu un succès planétaire dans les années 70. Ce duo, né de la collaboration entre Richard Carpenter et sa sœur Karen, a collectionné un nombre impressionnant de succès dont I Need to Be in Love. L’arrangement de Kazuhiro Morita dévoile les délicieuses harmonies vocales qui ont fait la notoriété des Carpenters.

Can't Take My Eyes Off You war ein Riesenerfolg für das Duo Bob Crewe und Bob Gaudio. Bekannte Künstler, wie unter anderem Diana Ross, Gloria Gaynor und später die Pet Shop Boys, brachten den Titel über drei Jahrzehnte hinweg immer wieder in die Hitparaden und die Menschen in den Discos zum Tanzen. Toshio Mashima bearbeitete den unwiderstehlich flotten Popsongs für Blasorchester. Bei diesem Titel kann niemand still sitzen!

Les auteurs-compositeurs Bob Crewe et Bob Gaudio ont formé un tandem couronné de succès. Dans les années 60 et 70, ils signent de nombreux tubes pour Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons dont l’immense standard de l’année 1967, Can’t Take My Eyes Off You. Toshio Mashima signe cet arrangement entraînant pour Orchestre d’Harmonie.

There have been many arrangements of Beatles’ songs for various kinds of ensembles, so rather than just producing a further medley of Beatles’ hits, Peter Kleine Schaars has added a new twist to them with this excellent new work. All You Need Is Love and With a Little Help from my Friends pass by in a swing march, Michelle sounds like a newly composed ballad and When I’m Sixty Four is played in Dixie swing style. A Hard Day’s Night is transformed into a funk theme with a samba interlude, Let It Be into a slow march, and Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da in a rock beat. Experience The Beatles as you have never heard them before.

A Little Irish Suite is an original work composed specifically for the Compact Band Series. This series offers smaller ensembles the opportunity to perform original, high-quality works. A Little Irish Suite consists of three movements, all based on Irish folk tunes. Clear structure and crisp harmonies complemented by plain, comprehensible melodies, are characteristic of this piece. It offers conductors the opportunity to work on tone, balance, phrasing as well as on technique with their ensemble. As with all works in the Compact Band Series, A Little Irish Suite features optional parts for instruments that are played less frequently. Conductors can pickand choose the parts needed to best fit the music and the musicians available, to determine the best possible instrumentation for their own ensemble. The duration of six minutes and the large variety and contrast of material played in A Little Irish Suite also make it an ideal selection for competitions or festivals.

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’.

Neither could I write a piece that could come close to reflecting his kind spirit, wit, personality or talent. In fact, it was almost impossible for me to write anything at all. My own grief and the stages of my grief kept getting in the way. I ended up with a setting of the hymn-tune, Resignation. Resigned.  To the fact that he is no longer with us. I know he is in a better place, but we are not. We miss him very much. And so, My Shepherd Will Supply My Need seems to speak to those of us he left behind. I apologize if this piece does not reflect your special feelings for him or help you celebrate his moving on. Unfortunately, I could only put down what I have come to accept and hope in some way it may speak to any of you that knew him or to others of you who have also lost a close friend. My Shepherd Will Supply My Need. That is my hope and my hope for you.Although technically very easy, this composition requires a maturity of musicianship to be performed properly. The Bb contrabass clarinet part is integral to the composition, but there are cues in the tuba part if you need them.  Make sure you bring horns to the fore at m. 53 and the low brass at m. 59 so the melody can be heard without effort. Exaggerate dynamics to bring more emotion to the piece. Be careful not to diminuendo too soon near the end or it will be difficult to diminish even further at the very end, where the lone clarinetist holds over a couple of measures, fading into nothing. I hope your students will enjoy this piece and take from it a greater appreciation for the way making music can express feelings.

English-German-French- Dutch.

Heart in Motion compares the development of an ensemble to a tree, which-with careful nurturing-grows branches, twigs, leaves and fruit. As a fertilizer, you need to add an extra helping of positive attitude, enthusiasm and passion to it.Inspired by these images and concepts, Satoshi Yagisawa has composed Heart in Motionwhich, with a magnificent fanfare followed by a warm-sounding chorale, certainly lives up to its name.

De opdracht voor dit werk luidde om de totstandkoming van een blaasorkest te verklanken. Afgezien van concrete zaken komen bij de ontwikkeling van een succesvol muziekgezelschap natuurlijk ook een positieve instelling, enthousiasme en passie kijken.Deze beelden en begrippen inspireerden Satoshi Yagisawa tot het componeren van Heart in Motion, dat met een schitterende fanfare, gevolgd door een warm klinkende koraal, zijn titel eer aandoet.

Die Entwicklung eines Blasorchesters ist wie ein Baum, dessen Stamm Äste, Blätter und Früchte hervorbringen kann. Neben diesen sichtbaren Merkmalen gehören zum Wachstum eines Ensembles auch Hingabe, Begeisterung und Leidenschaft. Von diesen Metapherninspiriert komponierte Satoshi Yagisawa ein Werk, das mit einer strahlenden Fanfare, gefolgt von einem warm klingenden Choral, seinem Namen alle Ehre macht.

Heart in Motion (Cœur en mouvement) est une œuvre qui porte bien son nom car elle évoque l’arbrisseau de la forêt, qui, petit petit, pousse et grandit pour produire des brindilles, des branches, des feuilles et des fruits. Satoshi Yagisawavous invite développer vitalité, dynamisme, énergie et puissance. Quoi de plus naturel que d’associer cette extraordinaire production l’épanouissemen t de votre orchestre !

Quando gli è stato affidato l’incarico di comporre Heart in Motion, è stato chiesto a Satoshi Yagisawa di descrivere “la vita” di una banda, ma metaforicamente di paragonarla ad un albero con il tronco, i rami, le foglie e i frutti. Nellamusica non potevano mancare accenni ad un approccio positivo, all’entusiasmo e alla passione. Il risultato non poteva che essere un brano coinvolgente, che inizia con una luminosa fanfara seguita da un caldo corale.

Wind Sketches is a top quality concert work for wind band in three movements, inspired by the relationship between man and wind. Trade Winds, in the form of a march, is reminiscent of a shanty, conjuring up seafaring and the tradewinds. Becalmed, harmonically and melodically almost static, depicts the doldrums. All the more contrasting is Riding the Storm, which concerns the love-hate relationship of people to the winds that he needs and at the same times fears.

Wind Sketches is een eersteklas concertwerk voor blaasorkest. Het bestaat uit drie delen, die gebaseerd zijn op de relatie tussen de mens en de wind: Trade Winds, in marsvorm, doet denken aan een shanty en roept associaties op met dezee en passaatwinden. Becalmed, dat in melodieus en harmonieus opzicht bijna statisch is, schetst een windstilte. Riding the Storm is stormachtig: het beschrijft de haat-liefdeverhouding tussen de mens en de wind.

Wind Sketches ist ein hochkaratiges Konzertwerk fur Blasorchester in drei Satzen, die alle von der Beziehung Mensch und Wind inspiriert sind: Der erste Trade Winds in Marschform erinnert an ein Shanty und an Passatwinde auf hoher See.Der zweite Satz, Becalmed, harmonisch und melodisch fast statisch, beschreibt eine Flaute. Umso kontrastreicher ist der dritte Satz, Riding the Storm, der von der Hassliebe des Menschen des Menschen zu Winden gepragt ist.

Les trois mouvements de cette piece s'inspirent des rapports entre les humains et divers types de vents. Le premier, Alizes (Trade Winds), prend la forme d'une marche aux accents de chansons de marins, le deuxieme mouvement, Encalmine(Becalmed ), est de nature quasi statique, sans grand developpement melodique ou harmonique. Le finale, Porte par la tempete (Riding the Storm), depeint les relations humaines, par le biais de vents tumultueux, dangereux, benefiques etvivifiants.

I tre movimenti di questo brano si ispirano al rapporto dell'uomo con il vento. Il primo, Trade Winds, prende la forma di una marcia dagli accenti di mare, il secondo movimento, Becalmed, e di natura quasi statica, senza grandi sviluppimelodici o armonici. Il finale, Riding the Storm, descrive i tanti venti tumultuosi, pericolosi, benefici e vigorosi.

Auror a Eclipsed was inspired by the solar eclipse of 2017.  During a solar eclipse, a beautiful and fascinating aurora sometimes forms around the moon creating an eerie outline. This “ring of fire” is actually the sun’s outer edges being revealed for the human eye. An aggressive composition younger students will enjoy playing over and over again.
I wrote Aurora Eclipsed while looking outside at 2017’s solar eclipse. I find space and celestial bodies so fascinating. To think of how small we are compared to the scale of even just the moon is impressive.During a solar eclipse, a beautiful and fascinating aurora sometimes forms around the moon creating an eerie outline. This “ring of fire” is actually the sun’s outer edges being revealed for the human eye. About the work:Unlike most of my young-band pieces, Aurora Eclipsed begins at its peak tempo. The rhythmic pattern in m. 2 is repeated throughout the piece and is used in the melody in order to help facilitate the teaching of eighth-note patterns. The melodic pattern changes slightly at m. 25, while remaining just as repetitious as the previous pattern, giving everyone ample opportunity for exposure. At m. 25 the directions call for euphonium and bassoon only. This is merely a color choice and can easily be used with trombones to fill the need or to help strengthen your students' playing. The use of sfz is not used very much in this level of music, but I thought with the addition of the accents that it would be a great opportunity to teach this colorful effect.

Courage of the Cossacks is a refreshing march in the style of Russian folk music, offering a break from the standard American march style for festival performance. Composer Ed Kiefer has scored this piece to sound sonorous throughout while highlighting all sections of the band. Directors looking for a unique march need look no further.
Courage of the Cossacks was written for my friends in Union County, NC . Based on several Cossack folk tunes it is a very dark sounding march which features almost every section of the band . The trio is one of the most beautiful oppressive melodies I have ever heard, and it is set in stark contrast to the upbeat, Russian sounding opening strains . After the trio comes to a halt, the piece restarts slowly, gradually accelerating to the final strain, much like many Cossack dances . A combination of March and Dance, this piece is not too difficult to perform and is very rewarding for both students and audiences . Courage of the Cossacks is a great piece to begin or end any concert and a perfect march for showing off your group at festival .

As the title implies, this piece is written in a contemplative manner for beginning students.  It is a good piece to demonstrate basic compositional techniques that the students will be able identify easily in the piece. It begins with a lush opening section with an elegant melody to work on musicianship. This is contrasted by the uptempo section of the piece based on the same basic musical material, but in a varied style and frolicking feel. A very satisfying piece for beginning wind players.
Contemplation : the action to look thoughtfully at something for a long time.When composing music that will be used with younger students, I want to stimulate thoughtfulness in them. In this particular piece I want the students to be able to stretch their musicianship beyond their experience on their instruments to play in a contemplative manner. To me, this is the essence of musical playing in an emotional and thoughtful way. It is something that cannot be stressed enough, even in students that have just begun to play. As soon as possible, they should be asked to put themselves into the music and make it more than the notes and rhythms on the page.This piece is my attempt to provide very young students, who are just beginning their musical journey, with something they can reach technically, but have to stretch for musically. The amount of notes and rhythms is limited, but students should strive for beauty of tone, good phrasing and emotional involvement.After a short introduction, the heartfelt main theme begins at a lyrical and slow tempo. This is developed with the addition of a secondary theme, featuring the lower voices, before the piece leads to an Allegro section that is based on the same musical material with a difference in tempo and a variation in rhythm patterns. The piece can serve to show students that the same basic music can have an entirely different emotional connection with differences in tempo, rhythm and style, with the first section of the piece being sentimental and the faster section being more joyous in nature.  As with all of my pieces for younger students, it is completely acceptable to me for you to adjust the tempo to fit the educational needs of your students.It has been my pleasure to have the opportunity to write this piece. I hope you and your students enjoy it and find it useful for your program.—Larry ClarkLakeland, FL 2018.
