The famous monolith Ayers Rock (also called Uluru) is the only true attraction in the Northern Territory of Australia. This colossal red rock lies in the middle of a desert plain. At dusk, a beautiful spectacle develops as the setting sun envelops the rock in rose-red hues. There are tourists who climb the rock, while this is a taboo according to the indigenous religion of the Aboriginals. Besides, the climb is very strenuous. A walk around the rock is also an unforgettable experience.During a journey through Australia, Henk Hogestein was inspired by this rock; he composed this robust rock number to cherish the memory of it.

De beroemde monoliet Ayers Rock (ook wel Uluru genoemd) is de enige echte trekpleister in het Noordelijk Territorium van Australië. Deze kolossale rode rots ligt midden in een woestijnvlakte. Bij het vallen van de avond ontvouwt zicheen prachtig schouwspel als de ondergaande zon het geheel in rozerode tinten hult. Henk Hogestein werd tijdens een reis door Australië ge nspireerd door deze rots, hij componeerde dit stevige rocknummer ter herinnering.

Ayers Rock ist wohl die größte Attraktion im Norden Australiens. Der riesige rote Felsbrocken ragt mitten in der Wüste auf und bietet zu Sonnenauf- und Untergang ein großartiges Schauspiel. Touristen nutzen den Berg gerne zum Klettern, für die Aborigines, die Ureinwohner Australiens ist er jedoch ein heiliger Ort und damit tabu. Henk Hogestein setzte seine persönlichen Eindrücke von diesem besonderen Ort in diese rockige Nummer für zehnstimmige variable Besetzung und Schlagzeug um.

Montagne sacrée pour les Aborigènes qui le nomment Uluru, Ayers Rock est un rocher solitaire situé au centre de l’Australie dans le Territoire du Nord. Depuis des millénaires, les Aborigènes Anangu le décorent de gravures et peintures rupestres. Au lever ou au coucher du soleil, Uluru offre des sublimes dégradés de rouge et d'oranger. Henk Hogestein nous livre ses impressions et ses sentiments sur ce site grandiose travers cette pièce fluide et colorée.

Remembrance Day (Totengedenken) is a chorale-like piece in memory of those who have died in service. Jacob de Haan composed this work for a concert by the symphonic wind orchestra Symphonic Winds, which he conducted in Germany on Volkstrauertag (national remembrance day). The composition is based on a text from Totengedenken (Commemoration of Those Who Have Died). This narrative text is provided in four languages, and is intended to be spoken (using a microphone) ad libitum during the performance. Choir parts are also available to complement the performance.

Remem brance Day ist ein choralartiges Stück zum Angedenken an die Verstorbenen. Die Komposition basiert auf einem Text aus Totengedenken, herausgegeben vom Volksbund deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorg e. Ein beiliegender Text kann zur angegebenen Zeit während der Aufführung gesprochen werden. Das Ganze kann ad libitum durch einen gemischten Chor, der lange Töne ohne Text singt, vervollständigt werden. Remembrance Day ist ein recht langsames, erhabenes Werk zur würdevollen Umrahmung von Trauer- oder Gedenkfeiern, zum Volkstrauertag und ähnlichen feierlichen Anlässen. Textauszug A Remembrance DayWir denken heute an die Opfer von Gewalt und Krieg, Kinder, Frauen und Männeraller Völker. Wir gedenken der Soldaten, die in den Weltkriegen starben, der Menschen, die durch Kriegshandlungen oder danach in Gefangenschaft, als Vertriebene und als Flüchtlinge ihr Leben verloren. Wir gedenken derer, die verfolgt und getötet wurden, weil sie einem anderen Volk angehörten, einer anderen Rasse zugerechnet wurden oder deren Leben wegen einer Krankheit oder Behinderung als lebensunwert bezeichnet wurde. Wir gedenken derer, die ums Leben kamen weil sie Widerstand gegen die Gewaltherrschaft geleistet haben, und derer, die den Tod fanden weil sie an ihrer Überzeugung oder an ihrem Glauben festhielten. Wir trauern um die Opfer der Kriege und Bürgerkriege unserer Tage, um die Opfer von Terrorismus und politischer Verfolgung. Wir gedenken heute auch derer, die in diesem Jahr bei uns durch Hass und Gewalt gegen Fremde und Schwache Opfer geworden sind. Wir trauern mit den Müttern und mit allen, die Leid tragen um die Toten. Aber unser Leben steht im Zeichen der Hoffnung auf Versöhnung unter den Menschen und Völkern, und unsere Verantwortung gilt dem Frieden unter den Menschen zu Hause und in der Welt.

A Song of Hope is a brief musical expression of sorrow for young musicians to perform in memory of the students at Sandy Hook Elementary School and all victims of senseless violence. Bells and chimes punctuate the plaintive opening statement of the clarinets. Frequent meter changes of 2/4, 3/4, and 4/4 are used as are frequent changes of key (Eb, F, C, Bb). Jack Stamp deftly arranges the modulations so that unfamiliar tonalities are easily handled by young ensembles. A Song of Hope is playable with a limited woodwind section of just 2 Flutes, 2 Clarinets, and Alto Saxophone.

This sensitive contemporary work was written in memory of a former teacher at a middle school that is now thought to be haunted. Crystal glasses help set the ethereal mood as the theme is developed and ultimately juxtaposed with two other themes presented later in the work. Extremely musical and emotional, yet approachable by younger bands. This is serious literature.

This delightful three-movement suite begins with a bright and bold Fanfare in 4/4 time. The second movement is a poignant lyrical Interlude in 3/4 time which features a trumpet solo. The third movement is a jaunty march in cut time that alternates between major and minor tonalities, giving it a bit of a quirky attitude.

Skybridge Suite was commissioned by the Sudlow Intermediate School Band, Davenport, Iowa (Terry Reiter, Director) dedicated to the memory of Robin Ciccotelli, Band Director of 20 years at the school.

Skybridge Suite correlates to Book 2, Level 4 of Sound Innovations for Concert Band. (4:10) This title available in MakeMusic Cloud.
