The Way to Heaven was commissioned by the Royal Air Force Music Services. 2015 was the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, which took place between July and October 1940, when the courageous fighter pilots of the Royal Air Forcethwarted Hitler’s ambitions to launch an invasion on the UK.
The Way to Heaven opens with fluttering woodwind figures and brass fanfares, which build to a climax before a change of key introduces a short quotation for the Polish National Anthem - Mazurek Dbrowskiego. This fades and you can hear thesignal to scramble and the throaty sounds of the squadron’s Merlin engines bursting into life before they line up to take off. This leads to the main thematic material of the work, which depicts the heaven-bound flight of 303 Squadron as it climbs tointercept the incoming Messerschmitt 109s. A brief allusion to the Polish national anthem brings the piece to a triumphant close.

The Way to Heaven is geschreven in opdracht van de Britse Royal Air Force Music Services. In 2015 was het 75 jaar geleden dat de Slag om Engeland plaatsvond, tussen juli en oktober 1940, toen de moedige gevechtspiloten van de Royal Air Forcede ambities van Hitler om het Verenigd Koninkrijk tot capitulatie te dwingen wisten te dwarsbomen.
The Way to Heaven opent met ‘dwarrelendeâ€℠¢ motieven in het hout en koperfanfares, die worden opgebouwd tot een climax voordat een modulatie een kort citaat van het Poolse volkslied Mazurek Dbrowskiego introduceert. Dit sterft weg endan horen we het alarmsignaal voor het opstijgen van de vliegtuigen, en het schorre geluid van de Merlin-motoren voordat de gevechtstoestellen de lucht in gaan. Dit leidt tot het belangrijkste thematische materiaal van het werk, dat de ‘vlucht naarde hemel’ van het 303 Squadron beschrijft tijdens de klim omhoog met als doel het onderscheppen van de Duitse Messerschmitts Bf 109. Een toespeling op het Poolse volkslied brengt het werk naar zijn triomfantelijke slot.

The Way to Heaven wurde von den Royal Air Force Music Services in Auftrag gegeben. 2015 jährte sich die Luftschlacht um England, die von Juli bis Oktober 1940 stattgefunden hat, zum 75. Mal. Die mutigen Jagdflieger der Royal Air Force hattenHitlers Ambitionen einer Invasion Englands verhindert.
The Way to Heaven beginnt mit einer unruhigen Figur in den Holzbläsern und mit Blechbläser-Fanfaren, die sich zu einem Höhepunkt aufbauen, bevor ein Tonartwechsel einen kurzen Verweis auf die polnische Nationalhymne Mazurek Dbrowskiego“ einleitet. Dies verklingt langsam und man hört das Signal zum Kampf und das Dröhnen der Merlin-Triebwerke der Staffeln, die vor dem Start zum Leben erwachen und sich aufstellen. Dies führt zum Hauptthema des Werkes, das den Flug in den Himmel vonStaffel 303 beschreibt, um die herankommenden Messerschmidt 109 abzufangen. Es klingt nochmals kurz die polnische Nationalhymne an, bevor das Stück mit einem triumphalen Schluss endet.

The Way to Heaven commence par des motifs tremblants pour bois et des fanfares de cuivres qui se développent vers une apogée ; ensuite une modulation introduit une courte citation de l’hymne national polonais, Mazurek Dbrowskiego. Alorsque ces idées s’affaiblissent, on entend le signal pour décoller en urgence, puis le son rauque des moteurs Merlin de l’escadron mis en marche, avant que les avions ne s’alignent pour décoller. Ceci mène au matériel thématique principal de l’œuvrequi dépeint le vol vers le ciel de l’escadron 303 alors qu’il monte pour intercepter les Messerschmitt 109 entrants.

9.25x12.25x1.382 inches.

Moving Heaven and Earth consists of a theme and 4 variations; although the theme is original it contains a phrase heavily influenced by a 14-bar passage from the Libera Me in Faure's Requiem. It is a sequence that the composer finds harmonically compelling and, although it is never quoted directly, it appears in altered form in the theme and each of the variations. In the original, the passage is set to the words: Quando c''li movendi sunt et terra (When the heavens and the earth shall be moved) which gave inspiration for the title.

Composed by Shaffer. Concert Band. Extra full score. Composed 2020. Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications #012-4897-01. Published by Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications (CL.012-4897-01).

Opening with a lush flute soli, Into Heaven’s Hands explodes with power, emotion and jubilation in celebration of a beautiful life. The powerful opening gives way to a lyrical and whimsical faster section. David Shaffer’s mastery of intricate harmonic progression is on full display throughout this work. A slower, lyrical middle section compliments the entire piece with a balance of pure musical emotion. The percussion writing is simple but very effective in producing an exciting and musical experience for both the players and the listeners. An excellent choice for contest or festival!

Based on the shaped note melody Saints Bound For Heaven, Jubilee by James Curnow captures a feeling of joyful celebration through a series of unique and skillfully adapted variations. The opening strains are actually fragments of the first variation and occur before the main tune is introduced by low brass and woodwinds. The second variation features a euphonium solo and builds to a glorious climax with the full ensemble. The final variation is joyful and filled with energy, using flourishes in the woodwinds and fanfares in the brass for a grand conclusion to this marvelous work. (Grade 3.5) Dur: 5:30.

Composed by Barry Toombs. Solos/ensembles. Conservatory Editions. Sacred. Score. Neil A. Kjos Music Company #E1456F. Published by Neil A. Kjos Music Company (KJ.E1456F).

Psalm XIX: The Heavens Declare was written by the Italian composer, writer, and theorist Benedetto Marcello (1686-1739). By profession Marcello served as a governor and chamber-lain in Italy, although he is well-known for his harsh satires of contemporary coposers, such as Vivaldi and Lotti, As a composer, Marcello was ingenious and imaginative; his works include opera librettos, concertos, vocal music, and psalm settings in cantana style. This particular psalm setting has become popular for organ, and, thanks to the talent of arranger Barry Toombs, is part of the repertoire of the Westwind Brass. Mr. Toombs's brass quintet arrangement of The Heavens Declare calls for the optional B Piccolo Trumpet in the 1st Trumpet part. It is preferred that the 1st trumpet player use a piccolo trumpet. However, if one is not available, B trumpet may be uses as a substitute.
