Cantilena wurde als Pflichtstück für das Grenland International Brass Festival im norwegischen Ort Skien in Auftrag gegeben. In Anlehnung an das Stück Catilena von Henrik Ibsen, der in Skien geboren wurde, komponierte Philip Sparke Cantilena, was Wiegenlied und ausserdem, etwas weiter gefasst in einem gesanglichen Stil spielen bedeutet, und sich damit als der perfekte Titel für dieses lyrische und leidenschaftliche Stück anbot.

Geschreven in opdracht van de Tokai Village Wind Band, Ibaraki Pref. Dit werk is geschreven na de ontmoeting tussen de componist en Susumu Hara, een bevlogen dirigent en docent aan het Senzoku Gakuen College of Music. Toen SatoshiYagisawa hem ontmoette, spraken ze vol enthousiasme over muziek. De Tokai Village Wind Band - waarvan Susumu Hara de dirigent is - bestaat uit veel gedreven en toegewijde spelers. Hara liet de componist kennismaken met dit orkesten vertelde hem dat het bij uitstek geschikt was om een koraal uit te voeren dat kenmerkend is voor Yagisawa’s componeerstijl. Zo ontstond Cantilena.

Dieses Stück entstand nach einer Begegnung des Komponisten mit Susumu Hara, einem ausgezeichneten japanischen Musiklehrer und Dirigenten eines begeisterten Blasorchesters. Im Laufe einer enthusiastischen Diskussion über Musik kristallisierte sich der Wunsch nach einem sanften Stück, wie es typisch für Yagisawas Kompositionsstil ist, heraus. Und ein solches lieferte der Komponist mit Cantilena - ein elegantes Werk, das bei auch bei Ihrem Publikum gut ankommen wird!

Sous l’élégance de l’écriture aérienne se révèle une œuvre mélodieuse de style choral. Les couleurs sonores déambulent au gré de leur fantaisie en quête de poésie et de fraternité. Les notes s’égrènent, le charme de la cantilène opère.

Concert Band/Harmonie - Grade 6

SKU: BT.GOB-000258-140

Composed by Rob Goorhuis. Score Only. 34 pages. Gobelin Music Publications #GOB 000258-140. Published by Gobelin Music Publications (BT.GOB-000258-140).

Les Marteaux de La Marine was composed in 1999 as a commission by the Marine Band of the Royal Netherlands Navy.

The composition contains three static elements which interchange. Static in this case means that development of the material isnot pursued (by the composer).
The first element with which the piece begins is tranquil and colourful. The second element is sharp and incisive, while the third expresses energy. In all elements a repeated tone is the starting point whichexplains the hammers in the works title.The instrumentation is richly variegated with a harp also determining the palette of colours in the slower movements.

The composition opens with an atmospheric Larghetto containing fine harmonies in thesoft and subtly moving wood-winds. The introduction breathes an impressionistic atmosphere in which expressive cantilenas and soloistic agile motifs stand out. A strong setting is followed by an Allegro virtuoso containing fast motifs contrasted withshort and rhythmic stars of the various instrumental sections. Trumpets and horns add a virtuoso bugle-call motif.
After a short stringendosection, the transparent Larghetto returns with a varied setting of the opening elements. The beautifulleading roles in this section are reserved for cornet (trumpet) and horn. Subsequently, the flashing Vivo starts with continuous movements in triplets from both wood-winds and brass. Next, the opening Allegro re-appears once again and thus LesMarteaux de la Marine ends with a fast and virtuoso climax.

Les Marteaux de La Marine was selected as a compulsory grade 6 contest piece for symphonic bands in the Netherlands.

Les marteaux de la marine werd in 1999 gecomponeerd in opdracht van de Marinierskapel van de Koninklijke Marine.

De compositie kent drie statische elementen, elkaar afwisselend. Statisch wil in dit geval zeggen dat er geen ontwikkeling vanhet materiaal wordt nagestreefd.
Het eerste element waarmee het stuk begint is rustig en kleurrijk. Het tweede element is vinnig en scherp terwijl het derde energie verbeeldt. In alle elementen is de herhaalde toon het uigangspunt waarmee dehamers (martaux) verklaard kunnen worden. De instrumentatie is rijk geschakeerd waarbij in de langzame gedeelten een harp medebepalend is voor het kleurenpalet.

De compositie vangt aan met een sfeervol Larghetto met fraaie harmonieën in hetzachte, subtiel bewegende, houtregister. De inleiding ademt een impressionistische sfeer uit, waarbij expressieve cantilenes en solistische beweeglijke motieven naar voren komen.
Dan volgt een virtuoos Allegro met snelle motieven afgezet doorkorte, ritmische inzetten van de diverse instrumentengroepen. De trompetten en hoorns voegen een virtuoos signaalmotief toe. Na en kort stringendo-gedeelte keert het transparante Larghetto terug met een gevarieerde zetting van de beginelementen. Decornet (trompet) en hoorn vervullen in dit gedeelte een fraaie hoofdrol. Vervolgens zet het flitsende Vivo in met voortdurende trioolbewegingen in zowel hout als koper. Vervolgens duikt het Allegro van het begin nog op en Les marteaux de la marinebesluit met een snelle en virtuoze climax.

9x12 inches.

The teachers under whom Árpád Balázs (b.1937) studied composition - Ferenc Farkas, Aram Khachaturian and Goffredo Petrassi - each independently formed the opinion that with his lyrical gift Árpád Balázs's true creative field would be that of choral music and wind ensembles. Their early predictions are borne out by the roughly two hundred and fifty works for choir and almost twenty for wind orchestra that the composer has since produced. It is interesting that in the suite entitled Négy kép (Four pictures) the stylistic features of these two related musical fields are united. In it the wind instruments sing! It was not by chance that the expansive second movement was given thetitle Cantilena, while the slightly livelier but just as lyrical third movement was entitled Arietta. The opening movement of the work is a stridently jolly, energetic Induló (March), but not one of the rigidly military kind: the 6/8 rhythm contributes to its light-hearted character. This music is avowedly akin to the ballet music of Prokofiev. This choice series of four character pieces is crowned by Játék (Play) in which conveying the effect of the mixture of lines moving in parallel and then colliding with each other may be more technically demanding, but is well worth the effort! (Hungaroton HCD 31353).
