Ye Olde English Hunt comes to life through this colorful and humorous musical portrait. The opening pastoral scene is augmented with bird whistles, duck calls, and whatever wildlife your percussion section can conjure up. A series of trumpet calls, followed by a chorus of A Hunting We Will Go leads us into the frenzy of the hunt, complete with barking dogs and the galloping of horse hooves. Great fun for the band and especially your audience, this is a lighter, tongue in cheek selection for all.

This work in four sections is written for a four-part variable instrumentation together with drums. We start off_x001E_ in the _x001F_first movement on an adventurous safari. In the second and third movements weâ??re on the hunt for great beasts of Africa, which can also be heard with all their stomping, screeching and yelling. A wonderful musical safari that all musicians and listeners alike will enjoy!

Dit werk voor vierstemmige variabele bezetting met slagwerk beschrijft in vier deeltjes verschillende taferelen van het Afrikaanse continent. In het eerste deel gaan we op safari. In het tweede deel gaan we op zoek naar een olifant, een neushoorn, een luipaard een leeuw en een buffel. Welke reptielen kunnen we ontdekken in het derde deel? En hoe kan het beter stoppen dan met een â??Monkey Rockâ??? Tijdens het werk kun je actief verschillende dierengeluiden nabootsen, waardoor je je echt in de jungle waant!

Dieses vierteilige Werk ist für eine vierstimmig variable Besetzung und Schlagzeug instrumentiert. Der Titel spricht schon für sich: In African Scenes spielt der schwarze Kontinent die Hauptrolle. Im ersten Satz starten wir zu einer abenteuerlichen Safari. Im zweiten Teil geht es auf die Suche nach den ?Big Fiveâ?? - den groÃ?en Fünfâ??: Elefant, Nashorn, Leopard, Löwe und Büffel. Im dritten Satz begegnen wir allerlei unheimlichen Reptilien, bevor das Werk fröhlich mit dem ?Monkey Rockâ?? endet, in dem auch ein Affenruf vertont wird.

Cette pièce en quatre mouvements est une oeuvre instrumentation variable quatre voix et percussions. Le titre parle de lui-même : dans African Scenes, le continent Noir tient le premier rôle. Le premier mouvement nous entraîne dans un safari plein dâ??émotions. Dans le deuxième nous observons les grands seigneurs de la savane : éléphant, rhinocéros, léopard, lion et buffl_x001A_e. Le climat du troisième mouvement donne un peu la chair de poule alors que nous rencontrons toutes sortes de reptiles dangereux. Heureusement, lâ??oeuvre sâ??achève avec le joyeux Monkey Rock, au cours duquel nous entendons même le cri dâ??un singe.

Questo brano in quattro parti è pensato per strumentazione variabile a quattro voci e percussioni. Il titolo parla da solo: in African Scenes il continente nero riveste il ruolo principale. Il primo movimento vede i protagonisti iniziare un avventuroso safari. Nella seconda parte inizia la ricerca dei â??Big-Fiveâ?: elefante, rinoceronte, leopardo, leone e bufalo. Il terzo movimento si caratterizza dallâ??inaspettato incontro con rettili rari, e precede il quarto e ultimo movimento. Monkey Rock, in stile più giocoso, rappresenta lâ??incontro con una simpatica e vivace scimmietta.

Composer Norman Dello Joio (1913-2008) received an Emmy award for his 1965 score for the television program The Louvre. His concert band adaptation resulted in a five movement suite combining original material with themes by Renaissance composers such as Susato, Lully, and Cesti. In this arrangement for younger players, Robert Longfield skillfully truncates each movement and lessens the technical demands while carefully maintaining the essence of this masterful wind band repertoire classic.

Kalei doscope Sky is inspired by the breathtaking pastime of hot-air ballooning and the glorious festivals around the world that honor the practice. A sky full of colorful spheres elegantly floating at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, International Balloon Festival of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Bristol International Balloon Fiesta, Mondial Air Ballons and more draw thousands of people to witness awe-inspiring scenes full of passionate balloonists. Traditional hot-air balloons mix with creatively designed balloons to thrill the tens of thousands of spectators below. While I personally am not a person who dreams of taking my own flight--heights are not my thing--I have to marvel at how gently and easily these vessels float among the clouds. It truly is an image of exquisite freedom. This piece reflects the view and experience of the onlooker taking in an elegantly shifting scene reminiscent of kaleidoscope patterns. Spectators like me can appreciate the beauty and vibrancy associated with a horizon full of adventurous balloonists and their wondrous aircrafts. Kaleidoscope Sky starts in a triumphant and celebratory fashion and continues to conjure images reminiscent of the wide variety of soaring colors on display at a hot-air balloon event. Ultimately, the piece appropriately concludes with a suspenseful, yet graceful, run to the finish line. Melodic lines should soar with attention being paid to phrase markings and assigned articulations. Encourage musicians to allow room for the melodic material to be heard in thicker textures where supporting harmonies are often rhythmic in nature. These harmonies should support, and not cloud the melodies. The meter changes should sound effortless, and the continuous figures in the percussion will help to achieve this effect. The snare drum, in particular, should bring accented notes to the foreground while maintaining a steady textural effect with non-accented notes as a rhythmic background. This will go a long way in finding a cohesive subdivision and ensemble pulse.

This delightful new composition takes its inspiration from the classic French swash buckling tale of Cyrano de Bergerac and his fight to win the love of the beautiful maiden Roxane. The subject was a perfect departure point for composing a symphonic poem with a variety of musical aspects reflecting the story. Lyricism (the theme of Roxane), dramatic episodes, as well as Debussy-inspired impressionist moments are some of the elements that give the band and its conductor the chance to expose themselves as a versatile ensemble being able to create colour, to sing and to play like virtuosi. This work is sure to become a standard item in the concert band repertoire.

In Cyrano verklankt de componist Piet Swerts het romantische en tragische verhaal van de briljante dichter en zwaardkunstenaar Cyrano de Bergerac en zijn mooie, intellectuele nicht Roxane, op wie hij tot over zijn oren verliefdis. Zijn uiterlijk, met name zijn buitengewoon grote neus, belet hem om zijn gevoelens tegenover haar te uiten. De vele verwikkelingen die uit deze situatie voortkomen zijn te herkennen in deze programmatische compositie.

Piet Swerts erzahlt hier musikalisch die tragisch-romantische Geschichte von Cyrano de Bergerac, der einem verliebten Freund hilft, seine Liebe zu erobern und sich dann selbst unglucklich in dessen Angebetete verliebt. Diese Komposition spiegelt die Geschichte mit einer Vielfalt an musikalischen Aspekten eindrucksvoll wider. Lyrik, dramatische Episoden sowie von Debussy inspirierte, impressionistische Momente sind einige der Elemente, die dem Blasorchester und seinem Dirigenten die Chance bieten, sich als vielseitiges Ensemble, das zugleich Farben entfalten, singen und virtuos spielen kann, zu prasentieren.

La comedie heroique Cyrano de Bergerac (1897) valut a son auteur une gloire immediate. Cyrano, heros tragique et attachant, est entre dans le patrimoine universel, sans doute parce qu'il incarne superbement un mythe bien ancien : celui de l'amour et du bonheur impossibles. Ce delicieux chef-d'œuvre theatral d'Edmond Rostand a inspire ce poeme symphonique de Piet Swerts qui s'articule autour d'une grande diversite musicale exprimant differentes scenes de la piece. Passages lyriques, episodes dramatiques et moments impressionnistes, Cyrano comprend de nombreux ingredients qui permettent au chef et a sa formation d'exploiter leur polyvalence a travers lacouleur, le chant et le jeu virtuose.

Cyrano, eroe tragico e commovente, e entrato nel patrimonio universale senza dubbio perche incarna a meraviglia un mito molto antico: quello dell'amore e della felicita impossibili. Questo delizioso capolavoro teatrale di Edmond Rostand ha ispirato il poema sinfonico che si articola attorno ad una grande diversita musicale esprimendo diverse scene dell'opera teatrale. Passaggi lirici, episodi drammatici e momenti impressionanti, Cyrano comprende numerosi ingredienti che permettono al maestro di sfruttare la polivalenza attraverso il colore, il canto e il suono virtuoso.

Questo delizioso capolavoro teatrale di Edmond Rostand ha ispirato il poema sinfonico che si articola attorno ad una grande diversita musicale esprimendo diverse scene dell'opera teatrale. Passaggi lirici, episodi drammatici e momenti impressionanti, Cyrano comprende numerosi ingredienti che permettono al maestro di sfruttare la polivalenza attraverso il colore, il canto e il suono virtuoso.

Roger Zare is living every young composer's dream. At a tender age, he has already been lauded by the best, and his compositions continue to earn awards. Green Flash, his first publication with Theodore Presser Company, was written in 2007 for the USC Thornton Symphony, received a BMI Student Composer award in 2007, was chosen to be read at the 2008 American Composers Orchestra Underwood New Music Readings, won the ASCAP Rudolf Nissim Prize in 2009, and has now won the 2012 Symphony in C Young Composers' Competition.

A “green flash” is a rare atmospheric phenomenon that occurs as a sunset reaches its end. If conditions are just right, then a spark of green will hover on the horizon for a fleeting moment as the sun disappears. I first witnessed this subtle effect in Florida in 2005. Seeing the mythical event for the first time inspiredthis composition. Green Flash is a musical journey from daybreak to sunset. It focuses on the manipulation of colors and textures throughout its five sections. The musical events are designed to paint a picture of various scenes during the day. The piece begins with the heartbeat of the world emerging from the silentdarkness of the night. As night transitions to dawn, waves of color propagate from the repeating low C, building up through the harmonic series to become the vibrant colors of sunrise. Eventually all twelve notes of the chromatic scale are sounding together. Abruptly, a morning fog engulfs the scene. Out of the mist rises the only melodic theme in the work, played by a solo English horn, and later taken up by other solo winds. Once the fog dissipates, the sky fills with the playful dance of wispy cirrus clouds. A rainbow-like halo surrounds the sun, adding a burst of color to the scene. This carefree, optimistic cloud dance is invaded by a menacing front of cumulonimbus clouds. A storm rages at a frantic pace, but in its dying breath yields the most glorious of sunsets. Only as the last glint of sunlight disappears below the horizon, a faint sparkle of green lingers in the atmosphere.
