Symphony no. 6 dates from the spring of 2009. It is dedicated to the conductor Károly Neumayer and his orchestra, the Pécs Railway Workers' Concert Wind Ensemble. About the work, the composer writes: 'This three-movement composition follows the classical traditions, but the first movement further develops the Scriabin-type sonata form, combining two fast movements. In contrast to the lyricism of the second movement a subterranean, negative force also makes its presence felt but in a dramatic conflict is overcome by the massive, inspired communal singing of the lyrical material, which becomes chorale-like as it emanates from the modal scales. The third movement is acheerful, dance-like scherzo, with comical, humorous sound-effects '

Die 6. Symphonie entstand im Frühling 2009. Sie ist dem Dirigenten Károly Neumayer und seinem Orchester, dem Bläserorchester der Ungarischen Staatsbahnen Pécs, gewidmet. Der Komponist schreibt über sein Werk: 'Die dreisätzige Komposition folgt den klassischen Traditionen, der erste Satz aber entwickelt durch die Verbindung von zwei schnellen Sätzen die Form von Skrjabin weiter. Im zweiten Satz erscheint als Gegenspieler zur lyrischen Grundstimmung auch eine negative, in die Tiefe ziehende Kraft. Letztere wird aber im dramatischen Gefecht vom lyrischen Stoff und vom choralähnlichen, aus der modalen Tonleitern stammenden, blockförmigen, gemeinschaftlichen Lied besiegt. Der dritteSatz ist ein fröhliches, tänzerisches Scherzo mit komischen, humorvollen Klangeffekten.'.

Provocativ e modal shifts and fresh melodic excursions take us to another land. The brooding minor key opening leads by stages to a big uplifting finish. There is also lots of contrast built into the orchestration, making Latin Journey a special treat for band and audience alike. Cross-cultural lessons are a natural fit with this one! Additionally, there is lots of opportunity to work on the finer points of balance and blend.Inventive!

De hoofdmelodie van Latin Journey is in feite de eerste melodie die de componist ooit schreef, op vijftienjarige leeftijd. Hij bezocht toen een seminar voor jonge mensen die wilden leren componeren - en deze melodie kwam voortuit een taakopdracht. Bijna dertig jaar later besloot Carmine Pastore om diezelfde melodie te gebruiken in Latin Journey, a werk dat hij schreef voor de Senior Band van een high school in de Verenigde Staten. Het resultaatmag er zijn!

Provokative modale Verschiebungen und erfrischende melodische Linien entführen den Zuhörer von Latin Journey in lateinamerikanische Gefilde. Die nachdenkliche Eröffnung in Moll verwandelt sich Schritt für Schritt hin zu einem heiteren Schluss. Kontraste prägen auch die Orchestrierung dieser musikalischen Reise. Eine willkommene Stilerweiterung für das Repertoire Ihres Jugendblasorchesters!

La musique latino-américaine est une musique exubérante, souriante, vive, romantique, passionnée et ensoleillée. Ces adjectifs correspondent également cette œuvre de Carmine Pastore. La magie des rythmes et des sons envo te l’esprit des musiciens et les mélodies trotteront dans la tête des auditeurs pendant des semaines. Une œuvre sur mesure pour élargir les horizons stylistiques de votre jeune formation.

Roya l Coronation Dances is the first sequel to the Fanfare Ode & Festival, both being settings of dance music originally arranged by Gervaise in the mid 16th-century (the next sequel is The Renaissance Fair, which uses music of Susato and Praetorius). Fanfare Ode & Festival has been performed by many tens of thousands of students, both in high school and junior high school. I have heard that some of them are amazed that the music they are playing was first played and danced to over 400 years ago. Some students tend to think that music started with Handel and his Messiah to be followed by Beethoven and his Fifth Symphony, with naught in between or before of consequence. Although Royal Coronation Dances is derived from the same source as Fanfare Ode & Festival, they are treated in different ways. I envisioned this new suite programmatically -- hence the descriptive movement titles, which I imagined to be various dances actually used at some long-ago coronation. The first movement depicts the guests, both noble and common, flanked by flag and banner bearers, arriving at the palace to view the majestic event. They are festive, their flags swirling the air, their cloaks brightly colored. In the second movement, the queen in stately measure moves to take her place on the throne as leader and protector of the realm. In the third movement, the jesters of the court entertain the guests with wild games of sport. Musically, there are interesting sonorities to recreate. Very special attention should be given to the tambourine/tenor drum part in the first movement. Their lively rhythms give the movement its power. Therefore they should be played as distinctly and brilliantly as possible. The xylophone and glockenspiel add clarity, but must not be allowed to dominate. Observe especially the differing dynamics; the intent is to allow much buzzing bass to penetrate. The small drum (starting at meas. 29) should be played expressively, with attention to the notated articulations, with the brass light and detached, especially in a lively auditorium. It is of some further interest that the first dance is extremely modal. The original is clearly in G mixolydian mode (scale: G-A-B-C-D-E-F-G). However, other editors might put in F-sharps in many places (changing the piece almost to G major), in the belief that such ficta would have been automatically put in by the 16th-century performers as they played. I doubt it. I have not only eschewed these within the work, but even at the cadences. So this arrangement is most distinctly modal (listen to the F-naturals in meas. 22 and 23, for instance), with all the part-writing as Gervaise wrote it. In the second movement, be careful that things do not become too glued together. In the 16th century this music might have been played by a consort of recorders, instruments very light of touch and sensitive to articulation. Concert band can easily sound heavy, and although this movement has been scored for tutti band, it must not sound it. It is essential, therefore, that you hear all the instruments, with none predominating. Only when each timbre can be heard separately and simultaneously will the best blend occur, and consequently the greatest transparency. So aim for a transparent, spacious tutti sound in this movement. Especially have the flutes, who do this so well, articulate rather sharply, so as to produce a chiffing sound, and do not allow the quarter-notes to become too tied together in the entire band. The entrance of the drums (first tenor, then bass) are events and as such should be audible. Incidentally, this movement begins in F Major and ends in D Minor: They really didn't care so much about those things then. The third movement (one friend has remarked that it is the most Margolisian of the bunch, but actually I am just getting subtler, I hope) again relies upon the percussion (and the scoring) to make its points. Xylophone in this movement is meant to be distinctly audible. Therefore, be especially sure that the xylophone player is secure in the part, and also that the tambourine and toms sound good. This movement must fly or it will sink, so rev up the band and conduct it in 1 for this mixolydian jesting. I suppose the wildly unrelated keys (clarinets and then brass at the end) would be a good 16th-century joke, but to us, our put-up-the-chorus-a-half- step ears readily accept such shenanigans.

The first modal episode begins with a chant-like melody in G Aeolian mode (natural minor) that is reminiscent of early medieval music. The full brass section answers with simple block chords that accentuate the modal tonality. The Allegro that follows is set in B-flat Mixolydian mode (major scale with a flatted seventh). A dance-like melody dominates this episode and the percussion section is featured in a simple question-and-answer exchange.

Expect the unexpected in this major new work for Saxophone quartet and band by James Curnow. Built on a grand thematic plane, this tour de force employs the full range of expression. Gleaming modernity; dark modality; rhythms ranging from tentative to deliberate; and throughout, a sense of mysterious expectation for what is next to come. Expectations are fulfilled with the Presto finale.Not every band is capable of playing at this level, but if yours is, consider breaking new ground with DIALOGUES.

In Dialogues voor saxofoonkwartet, harmonieorkest en slagwerk ontvouwen zich levendige dialogen tussen de solisten, maar ook het harmonieorkest komt in dit expressieve, veeleisende werk ruimschoots aan bod.

In Dialogues für Saxophonquartett, Blasorchester und Schlagzeug entspinnen sich lebendige Dialoge zwischen den Solisten, aber auch das Blasorchester kommt in diesem ausdrucksstarken, stellenweise sehr anspruchsvollen Werk nicht zu kurz.

Dialogues est une oœuvre pour Quatuor de Saxophones et Orchestre d’Harmonie. La conversation est expressive, soutenue et exigeante la fois pour les solistes et l’accompagnement.< /p>

A delightful concert piece in rondo form for middle school bands which is built on a modal melody. Chisham develops this tuneful theme through a number of variations which build to a rousing finish. Excellent teaching material that will demonstrate to younger students how a single motive can be developed into a strong musical statement. Includes lots of percussion parts to keep all your drummers involved and interested. A superior choice for almost any young band performance including contests. An exceptionally nice composition for this grade level! Very highly recommended!
