David Fetter's brilliant new work Situation Update - Suite for Tenor Trombone and Concert Band is written in three contrasting movements totalling almost 11 minutes in length: 1. Swift 2. Longing 3. Exit Music Swift is marked Intense and is very rhythmic and angular. Longing is a beautiful lyrical movement marked Cantabile and Exit Music is marked Lively mixing chromatic, lyrical and syncopated segments, ending in a giant climax. Both the solo and accompaniment parts are written for advanced performers. The work's premier was performed in 2015 by retired Principal Trombonist of the Boston Symphony, Ronald Barron and accompanied at the Piano by Pianist Larry Wallach. Here is what Mr. Ewazen has said about Situation Update: I had the pleasure of hearing Ron Barron play David Fetter's exciting and virtuosic new work for Trombone and Piano, Situation Update. David's music allows the Trombonist to sing and soar in 3 contrasting movements filled with vivid colors, beautiful and expressive harmonies, and a wonderful flowing rhythmic energy. The outer movements crackle with energy, showcasing the amazing technique of soloist Ron Barron, as the melodic line shifts and changes with playful abandon, while the middle movement is heartfelt and lyrical, with beautiful melodic lines, supported by resonant, gorgeous harmonies. The work is a real tour de force and rightly deserves to take its place as a significant addition to the Trombone repertoire.

Song of Friendship was commissioned by the Concert Band of Jumonji University, Saitama, Japan and their conductor, Yutaka Nishida. The commission marked the 50th year of Yutaka Nishida’s involvement with bands as a player, conductor and radio presenter. The ceremonial Song of Friendship opens with an extended fanfare, largely featuring the brass section. This leads to the main theme, which develops slowly until it is played by the full band. A change of key signals a contrasting central section containing a quiet woodwind chorale, which grows until the return of the triumphant sounding main theme. Elements of the opening fanfare then close the work.

Song of Friendship werd geschreven voor het harmonieorkest van de Jumonji University in Saitama, Japan, en dirigent Yutaka Nishida. De opdracht markeerde tevens het vijftigste jaar dat Yutaka Nishida al actief was met blaasorkesten als muzikant, dirigent en radiopresentator. Song of Friendship opent met een uitgebreide fanfare waarin vooral de kopersectie aan het woord is. Dit gedeelte leidt naar het hoofdthema, dat geleidelijk verder wordt uitgewerkt tot het door het volledige orkest wordt gespeeld. Een modulatie kondigt een contrasterend middendeel aan, met een rustig koraal in het hout dat zich verder ontwikkelt tot aan de terugkeer van hettriomfantelijk klinkende hoofdthema. Het werk wordt afgesloten met elementen uit de openingsfanfare.

Song of Friendship wurde vom Blasorchester der Jumonji University in Saitama (Japan) und seinem Dirigenten Yutaka Nishida in Auftrag gegeben. Das Auftragswerk steht auch für Yutaka Nishidas über 50-jähriges Engagement im Bereich der Blasmusik als Musiker, Dirigent und Radiomoderator. Das feierliche Stück Song of Friendship beginnt mit einer ausgedehnten Fanfare, die vor allem die Blechbläser herausstellt. Diese führt zum Hauptthema, das sich langsam entwickelt, bis es schließlich vom gesamten Orchester gespielt wird. Ein Tonartwechsel leitet den gegensätzlichen Hauptteil mit einem ruhigen Choral in den Holzbläsern ein, der sich bis zur Wiederkehr destriumphierenden Hauptthemas langsam weiterentwickelt. Das Werk endet mit Elementen aus der Eröffnungsfanfare.

Song of Friendship est une commande de l’orchestre d’harmonie de l’Université de Jumonji, Saitama, Japon, et de leur chef Yutaka Nishida. La commande marque aussi la 50e année de l’engagement de Yutaka Nishida avec des bands, que ce soit comme joueur, chef d’orchestre ou présentateur radio. Le cérémonial Song of Friendship commence par une longue fanfare, mettant en scène en particulier les cuivres. Ceci nous mène au thème principal qui se développe ensuite graduellement jusqu’ une interprétation par l’ensemble entier. Une modulation signale le début de la section centrale contrastante. Elle se caractérise par un choral calme pour les bois qui se développeensuite jusqu’au retour du triomphant thème principal. Des éléments de la fanfare du début finissent alors l’œuvre.

Il celebrativo Song of Friendship si apre con un esteso tema di fanfara che presenta ampiamente la sezione degli ottoni. Questo conduce al tema principale, che si sviluppa gradualmente fino all’esecuzione da parte di tutta la banda. Un cambio di tonalit anticipa una contrastante sezione centrale che contiene un calmo corale di legni che cresce fino al ritorno trionfante del tema principale. Gli elementi musicali della fanfara d’apertura concludono l’opera.

As the title suggests, this piece comprises a set of variations on an original chorale,which is presented in the opening bars.The chorale uses the dark middle and lower sections of the band and is extended with minor variations until a pause leads to the first real variation, marked Vivo. This is in the form of a moto perpetuo. The second variation is a beautiful Andante introduced by a solo clarinet. Following a full band climax the final variation opens with quiet, nervous energy until its main theme is introduced.The chorale makes a brief appearance until the main theme reappears. This leads to a triumphant final augmented statement of the chorale theme, decorated by theflorid clarinet theme in the upper woodwinds. A dazzling new concert work.

Zoals de titel al aangeeft, bestaat het stuk uit een aantal variaties op een oorspronkelijk koraal, dat aan het begin wordt ge ntroduceerd. Het koraal, stevig verankerd in c mineur, komt naar voren in de donkere midden- en lage sectiesvan het orkest en wordt uitgebouwd met variaties in mineur, totdat een korte pauze de overgang vormt naar de eerste echte variatie, Vivo getiteld. Dit is een moto perpetuo. De tweede variatie, een krachtige Andante, introduceerteen soloklarinet. Na een climax in het hele orkest vangt de laatste variatie aan met een stille, nerveuze energie totdat het hoofdthema naar voren komt. Het koraal duikt even op totdat het hoofdthema weer verschijnt. Dit leidtnaar een glorierijke laatste reprise van het koraalthema in verbreding, omspeeld met het zwierige klarinetthema in het hoge hout. Een verbluffend nieuw concertwerk.

In drei sehr unterschiedlichen Variationen kommen in diesem Werk alle Register des Blasorchesters zum Zug: Die mittleren und tieferen Register stellen den originalen Choral in Moll vor, darauf folgt die erste, lyrische Variation im Tenorregister. Eine Solo-Klarinette präsentiert die metrische zweite Variation, abgelöst vom gesamten Blasorchester. Die hohen Holzbläser spielen eine wichtige Rolle in der dritten Variation, die zunächst verhalten einsetztt, dann aber das Werk zu einem triiumphalen Schluss führt. Ein interessantes Werk, das keine Wünsche bei Musikern oder Zuhörern offen lässt!

Chorale and Variations est une oeuvre de commande pour l’École Intercommunale de Gaillon Aubevoye en France (Dir. : Thierry Patel). Cette pièce est structurée selon la forme du choral suivi de trois variations sur le thème. Ancré dans la tonalité de Do mineur, le choral se développe dans les registres médium et grave de l’orchestre puis est élargi avec une succession de variations lyriques, florissantes, triomphantes et ornementées.

This three movement work, modeled on his earlier work Rhapsody for Brass, develops from and mirrors the earlier work, but with more modern tonal outlines and original melodic material. The first movement opens with several fanfare-like figures, which recur at various times in different instrumental combinations. With development, this music takes on a carnival-like atmosphere before concluding with an upward flourish. The second movement commences quietly with a slower theme shared by several solo instruments and develops into an extended study on The Water is Wide, a folk song which seems to have its beginnings in the United Kingdom as O Waley, Waley. Thethird movement reverts to the rhapsodic format with a lively theme marked ‘in a playful manner’. This substantial work is a gem in the concert band repertoire.

Dit werk is opgedragen aan wijlen Sir Dean Goffin en in grote lijnen gevormd naar de structuur van diens Rhapsody in Brass. Het eerste deel opent met fanfareachtige motieven, die terugkeren in verschillende instrumentgroepen.Deel twee begint met een langzaam thema dat in diverse solo-instrumenten naar voren komt. De muziek ontwikkelt zich hier tot een etude over het Amerikaanse lied The Water is Wide. In het levendige derde deel gebruikte Bulla,refererend aan Goffin’s afkomst, het Maori-lied Shout the Sound. Na een majestueuze herhaling van de opening van het deel wordt het werk afgesloten met een presentatie van technisch kunnen.

In drei unterschiedlichen Sätzen entwickelt dieses Werk die Rhapsody in Brass von Sir Dean Goffin weiter, dem die Symphonette auch gewidmet wurde. Fanfare ähnliche Figuren eröffnen den ersten Satz, der dann eine ausgelassene Stimmung entfaltet. Im zweiten Satz wird ein langsameres Thema von verschiedenen Soloinstrumenten präsentiert. Er entwickelt sich zu einer Studie über ein altes englisches Volkslied. Im letzten, rhapsodischen Satz folgte Bulla Goffins Wurzeln, indem er ein Lied der Maori aus Neuseeland verarbeitete. Ein grandioses Werk, das viele einzelne Facetten Ihres Blasorchesters, aber auch dessen Können als Ensemble beleuchtet.

Sym phonette possède des contours tonaux modernes et des mélodies originales. La richesse orchestrale des trois mouvements s’inscrit dans la suite de la délicieuse Rhapsody for Brass de Sir Dean Goffi n, qui cette composition est dédiée.

The year 2004 marked the 100th anniversary ofthe death of Antonin Dvorák. In 1879 Dvorákwrote this Polonaise as a commission for thecommittee organising the festivities for theirfamous national dance festival. Many famousCzech composers wrote dances specially for thisevent. This Polonaise in three movements, with itsfine melody lines, deserves to be more than just anoccasional work, however. Wil van der Beek’sconcert band arrangement does justice to theoriginal piece.

In 1879 schreef Antonin Dvoøák zijn Polonaise in opdracht van het comité dat de festiviteiten voorbereidde voor de toentertijd beroemde ‘vaderlandse danspartijen’. De bekendste Tsjechische componisten werden gevraagd om hiervoordansen te schrijven. Deze driedelige Polonaise met haar fraaie melodielijnen is echter meer dan een gelegenheidswerkje. De bewerking van Wil van der Beek doet het origineel beslist eer aan.

Antonin Dvorák, dessen Todestag sich im Jahr 2004 zum 100. Mal jährt, schrieb 1879 die Polonaise im Auftrag des Komitees, welches die Festlichkeiten zu der damals weithin berühmten Veranstaltung, die Vaterländischen Tanzfeste, vorbereitete. Nur die besten und bekanntesten tschechischen Komponisten wurden um einem Beitrag gebeten. Die dreiteilige Polonaise mit ihren schönen melodischen Linien ist weit mehr als nur eine Gelegenheitskomposition. Wil van der Beeks Bearbeitung für Blasorchester macht dem Original alle Ehre und wird auch Ihr Publikum überzeugen!

Castl e Creek was written by Dan Welcher in celebration of the Aspen Music Festival's 40th anniversary, and served as a special tribute to the Festival's longtime President, Gordon Hardy. Castle Creek itself is a tributary of the Roaring Fork River on which the Aspen Music Festival campus (as well as Hardy's home) is built. Gordon's initials (G.A.H.) are used as the musical basis for the fanfare, which is centered on the ascending pitches G, A and B, and reflects the upward motion and positivity of the Aspen Music Festival itself. For advanced players. Duration: 5'.
Program Note by the ComposerThere is no “secret program” or hidden meaning in this lively, five-minute work: it was intended as a celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Aspen Music Festival, and as a special tribute to the Festival’s longtime President, Gordon Hardy. The title CASTLE CREEK refers to a tributary of the Roaring Fork River on which the Aspen Music Festival campus (as well as Mr. Hardy’s home) is built.The work pays homage to Gordon Hardy by utilizing his initials (“G.A.H.”) as a musical motive: the three letters correspond to the pitches G, A, and B). This three-note group forms the basis of the fanfare that opens the work, and it also serves as an ostinato, a bass line, and a general means of organizing the work’s tonal centers. Because the three notes are in ascending order, the ever-upward direction of the Aspen Music Festival and the positive energy of Gordon Hardy are readily evident.The athletic fanfare that begins the work (marked “noble, but energetic”) is scored for brass and percussion alone, and may be played as a separate piece. The rest of the ensemble joins at the conclusion of the fanfare, and a spirited tune in 9/8 issues from the woodwinds. After this is given a thorough workout, a middle section in faster 3/4 time provides machine-like energy. Perhaps it is the energy of the Festival, in high gear. At the height of this, the music of the fanfare returns in broad open notes in the brass, with the machine still pulsing in support. The overture ends in a burst of motion, with the three-note motive in its highest transposition.My colleague and former student Paul Bissell made this excellent transcription from the orchestral original.

ISBN 9790365061808.

Engl ish composer Malcolm Arnold wrote this compact sonatina in 1951 and it has since become one of his most popular instrumental works. As always with Arnold, it is impeccably crafted: the first movement, with it's wide leaps, the occasional incursion of a six-eight bar into the prevailing four-four, and the lightest of jazzy touches, lives up to its marking of Allegro con brio; while the second demonstates Arnold's love at this period of a gentle cantabile style where no shadows yet lurk. The finale is a wild dance in three-four time marked Furioso, and it is a distant cousin of the Czech Furiant. With its vigorous rhythms and cascading semiquavers, it has something of the open-air quality of Dvorak at his most buccolic - not a frequent influence on Malcolm Arnold, but a highly appropriate one in this charming (and challenging) little work. This version for clarinet solo with wind band has been arranged by saxophone player Alex Steurs.

2008 marked the 400th anniversary of the 1608 founding of Quebec City in Canada. The Band of Les Voltigeurs de Quebec, an infantry regiment of the Canadian forces, commissioned this piece as part of the anniversary celebrations.

The folk songs of Quebec share, for obvious reasons, a history with the folk songs of France, but many can also claim to originate in Canada. All three movements of this suite use different settings of the evocative “La'-haut sur ces montagnes” as an introduction, and are then based on two popular folk songs. The first movement uses “Veillée rustique” and “Petit Jean,” the second uses “À la claire fontaine” and “Vive les matelots,” and the third is based on “C'est l'aviron” and “Au cabaret.&rdquo.

Composed by Francis Johnson. Arranged by Kenneth Amis. Music of Black Composers and Artists. Study score only. Amis Musical Circle #AMC-WB-003SSC. Published by Amis Musical Circle (AI.AMC-WB-003SSC).

8.5 x 11 inches.

The 1818 publication of Francis Johnson's A Collection of New Cotillions marks the first known publication of original music by a black composer in the United States. A prolific composer, instrumentalist, teacher and conductor, Johnson led a varied and successful career in an era in U.S. history that was not inviting to black professionals. His musical interests ranged from the contemporary works of Johann Strauss Jr. to traditional, popular dances.

The cotillion is a French country dance that was popular in Europe and America in the 18th century. It was originally danced by four couples in square formation and was an important influence in the development of the square dance in the United States. Francis Johnson composed two sets of six piano accompaniments for this dance. The original 1818 publication even included movement instructions for the eight dancers. The short and charming melodies that he composed are a fitting example of popular dance music of the time.

This transcription may be performed as a piano solo, with the piano as a non-solistic instrument within the ensemble or without piano at all. If it is to be a piano solo, the other instruments should not play the passages marked “opt. tacet (optional tacet). If the piano will not be treated soloistically, the conductor can have some or all of the “opt. tacet passages played at their discretion. When there is no piano involved in the performance ,all instrumentalists should ignore the “opt. tacet instruction and play everything.

A delightful three-movement work to show off the bandâ??s skill at playing different styles. The first movement marked Tarantella, includes an asymmetric 9/8 measure and a woodwind fugato. Nocturne features solos for flute, oboe and alto saxophone. Rondo begins with a fierce percussion section soli throughout the movement, and a reflection of developmental material from the Nocturne shows up in this movement as well. A challenging work, but your group will learn several musical concepts. A concert band classic.
