Concert Band - Grade 5

SKU: BT.EMBZ14690

Composed by Istvan Bogar. EMB Concert Band Series. Concert Piece. Score Only. Composed 2010. 56 pages. Editio Musica Budapest #EMBZ14690. Published by Editio Musica Budapest (BT.EMBZ14690).

9x12 inches.

This splendidly instrumented work successfully combines 20th-century musical language with the antique elements deriving from its theme - for example, in the first movement we immediately find an ancient Greek asymmetrical rhythm. The second movement takes us on an adventurous journey to those astonishing geological wonders, the Meteoras the third movement presents a picture of the Delphic dancers, in its title the fourth movement indicates the form used in it, which preserves the unity between the thousands-of-years-old building and its contrasting environment, echoing to the music of the bouzouki. In the suite the composer expertly exploits the possibilities of instrumentationoffered by the wind orchestra, this extremely effective work can be a rewarding concert piece for any ensemble. (Recorded by Mirasound on CD 'Salute from Hungary' wwm 500.009 for World Wind Music label - www.worldwindmusic.nl ).

Dieses Werk von István Bogár ist eines der ungarischen Stücke für Blasorchester, welches in den letzten Jahrzehnten international einen großen Erfolg erntete. Es entstand im Auftrag des Ungarischen Rundfunks, seine Erstaufführung fand 1982 statt. Das grossartig instrumentierte Werk vereint erfolgreich die musikalische Sprache des 20. Jahrhunderts mit den vom Thema vorgegebenen, antiken Elementen. Ein Beispiel hierzu ist gleich im ersten Satz ‚Thessaloniki' ein altgriechischer, asymmetrischer Rhythmus. Der zweite Satz führt uns zu einem verblüffenden geologischen Wunder, den Meteoren, im dritten Satz wird das Bild der Delphi-Tänzer gezeichnet. Im vierten Teil (‚Athen') wird diegebrauchte Form schon im Titel angekündigt: Diese verewigt die kontrastierende Einheit der mehrere Jahrtausend alten Akropolis und ihr von Bouzouki-Musik lautes Umfeld (‚Plaka'). Der Komponist nutzt in der Suite die vom Blasorchester vermittelten Instrumentierungsmögli chkeiten meisterhaft aus.

Thessaloniki (danse de Macédoine) • Meteora • Delphi (danse antique) • Athènes (Acropolis, le quartier Plaka) En composant son oeuvre Hellas, le compositeur hongrois, István Bogár, a renoué avec ses racines grecques. La superbe trame orchestrale combine le langage musical du XXe siècle avec des éléments de la musique grecque antique. Les quatre mouvements sont techniquement exigeants et exploitent toutes les possibilités d’une formation vent. Une oeuvre enrichissante !

Un brano dalla splendida strumentazione, composto anche per ricordare le origini in parte greche del compositore, che abbina al linguaggio musicale del XX° secolo elementi antichi. I quattro movimenti Thessaloniki (Danza proveniente dalla Macedonia), Meteora, Delphi (Antica danza) e Athens compongono insieme un brano da concerto esigente ma allo stesso tempo molto gratificante.

Leroy Anderson (1908-1975), ever-popular in the concert hall for his light orchestral pieces, found a great musical ally in the Boston Pops Orchestra under its director, Arthur Fiedler. Premiering many of his works, they introduced to the world such gems as Sleigh Ride, Jazz Pizzicato, and The Syncopated Clock. In the 1950s, Anderson began to record his music under the Decca label, and out of these sessions came a short piece for orchestra, THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING, first recorded on June 25, 1954. A solo horn introduces the melody, which drifts through the orchestra into an idyllic finish. An American Pops classic in it's original scoring, this work is part of the Anderson Classics Series by E.F. Kalmus. Instrumentation: 2.2.2.2: (3Sax-AAT): 4.3.3.1: Timp: Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set).

The Cuban composer and pianist Ernesto Lecuona (1896-1963) wrote many works labelled as Afro-Cuban, and sorting them all can be difficult. While some are lost and others are scattered about, the 1930 piano suite titled Danzas Afro-Cubanas, a collection of six of the dances, remains a core group in the style. La Comparsa (Carnival Procession) is the sixth dance in the suite, and it is based on the traditional parade and ceremony that occurs during Carnival season in Cuba. This composition starts with the gradual approach of the procession and carries one through all the excitement until the last faint notes of the departing parade die away in the distance. This version for full orchestra has been arranged by Morton Gould (1913-1996). Instrumentation: 2.2.3+BCl.2: 3Sax(AAT; opt.): 2.3.3.1: Perc(1-2): Hp.Clst.Gtr: Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set): Pno Cond Score in set.

Among the most frequently performed and well-known of P. I. Tchaikovsky's (1840-1893) works, The Year 1812, Solemn Overture, Op. 49 (more commonly known as the 1812 Overture) was written in 1880 to commemorate the 1812 defeat of Napoleon's invading French army by the Russians. Despite the composer's lack of enthusiasm about the project at its inception, claiming that he wrote it without any warm and loving feelings, Tchaikovsky acknowledged later that he did well in its composition, saying I absolutely do not know whether my overture (The Year 1812) is good or bad, but I rather think it is the former (pardon my immodesty). It premiered on August 20, 1882, in Moscow at the Art & Industry Exhibition, Ippolit Altani conducting. Famous for its use of cannons in the Finale, the Finale also calls for the inclusion of a military brass band, which is labelled as open instrumentation in the original. This edition by Martin Schmeling spells out specific instrumentation options for the banda.

The golden age of daredevil pilots comes to life in Len Orcino’s delightful Barnstormers March. This rousing march begins with a ratchet as the cranking of the propeller. The engine sputters to life and off the listener goes on his free ride into the air, as the music emulates the biplane and all its loops, dives, tricks and stunts. This open-air cockpit ride creates its thrills with musical devices. Parallel chromatic and diminished seventh chords will add new sounds to your bands vocabulary. You’ll label this one a real toe-tapper. It’s sure to become a pops concert standard.

The Carl Fischer heritage of publishing fine band music has been a fact of music publishing almost since the firm's founding in 1872. With a huge and expanding repertoire to draw on, it is a logical step for Fischer to issue a series of compact discs of band music for sale. With this release, the Carl Fischer Media Group begins what we intend to be the annual release of a recording devoted to classic band music. Bleecker Street Records is the name of the label developed for this purpose and A Perfect Union is our first commercial CD. It contains first-rate performances of classic original works for upper grade band such as Canzona by Peter Mennin, editions of celebrated transcriptions such as Procession of the Nobles in an edition by Van Ragsdale of the classic Eric Leidzen arrangement of Rimsky Korsakov's original and Robert Foster's edition of Henry Fillmore's celebrated transcription of Von Suppé's Light Cavalry Overture. Also included are terrific pieces by Daron Aric Hagen, Larry Clark, Quincy C. Hilliard and Elliot Del Borgo. The performances by the Washington and show the music and the players to best advantage. This will be a recording to own and treasure. Winds under the inspired direction of Edward Petersen, are invigorating.

Blue Rock is een werk in symfonische-rockstijl. Het begint met een expressieve ballad, met een solo voor altsaxofoon. Er volgt een sneller deel, dat is gebaseerd op een continue drumgroove en dat wordt gekenmerkt door een krachtigesyncopering en unisono melodielijnen voor het hele orkest. Als het hoogtepunt is bereikt, keert de ballad terug, hiermee krijgt het werk een luisterrijk slot.

This hymn was commissioned by â??Antwerpen 93â?. And this city, on the banks of the river Schelde has been nominated â??Cultural Capital of Europeâ? for 1993. The work-group â??animatieâ? took the initiative and commissioned a hymn, which -as the finale to a grand open-air event on 27th March- was premièred by hundreds of musicians from all over Europe. Philippe Langlet (France) was the conductor at this majestic occasion.Musically speaking the piece can no doubt be labeled easy. Indeed it is meant to represent a hymn, playable by all in different instrumental combinations. Consequently a variable instrumentation was chosen and a type of music, which by native is easily accessible anduncomplicated.The conductor is free -in the instrumentation- to score this piece according to his own taste. It is perhaps advisable to use the sharp brass in the forte parts, in order to make the range in the sound of the orchestra as colouful as possible. The percussion parts are not absolutely essential, so that the hymn can also be performed without percussion.

Antonin Dvorak first premiered his New World Symphony at Carnegie Hall in December of 1893 with the goal to bring American musical sensibility to European classical music. The second movement, labeled Largo, contained the melody that would later be identified as Goin’ Home. This well-crafted adaptation of that beautiful melody for concert band contains all the elements of the original orchestral version that has moved orchestral concert patrons for over a century. Expert scoring and careful orchestration techniques will ensure success with all ensembles. We think this outstanding arrangement will become a concert band classic for many years to come. Our highest recommendation!
