Par SPARKE PHILIP. Der Titel The Roaring Forties spielt auf das 40-jährige Jubiläum des Orchesters an, das dieses Werk in Auftrag gegeben hat, ist aber auch der Name, den Seeleute dem Gebiet zwischen dem suüdlichen 40. und 50. Breitengrad wegen der dort herrschenden tosenden Westwinde gaben. Eine Fanfare, ein charakteristischer Choral, ein lebhaftes Vivo und zum Schluss wieder der Choral - das ist Philip Sparkes Umsetzung dieses Themas. Was sind Ihre „Wilden Vierziger“? / Niveau : 4 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

(The Four Seasons). Par VIVALDI ANTONIO. Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741) stands, with Handel and J. S. Bach, as one of the titanic figures of late Baroque composition. Not only was he lauded as a composer of vocal and instrumental works both sacred and secular, he was without doubt, the most prolific composer of his age. In addition to hundreds of vocal works, including forty-nine operas, he composed five hundred concertos. The Four Seasons are probably the best known of his concerti with the second movement, Largo, portraying time spent by a roaring fire listening to the rain pounding against the window. This new arrangement for brass band retains all the warmth of the original. / Niveau : 2 / Musique pour célébration / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie
