Par CURNOW JAMES. The suite format and descriptive nature of snapshots allows Grade 2. 5 bands to handle a relatively large sized piece and have the fun of exploring myriad moods and styles. There are valuable geographical and historical considerations for cross-curricular teaching, and the sheer “enjoyability” of this one is undeniable. In Movement 1, early explorers witness the grandeur and expanse of the largest fresh surface water system on earth. In Movement 2, wavelets gently lap on the shores of beautiful beaches while happy families enjoy a sunny afternoon, and Movement 3 explores the ships and boats of every description which have navigated these waters for centuries. While thisexceptional piece is entirely different, if you enjoyed James Curnow’s previous Grade 2. 5 suites, you really should focus some attention on SNAPSHOTS. You won’t regret it. / Niveau : 2.5 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Par HANNICKEL MIKE. Two melodies in the Scottish style meet head-on in this energetic new arrangement. Your students will love the “bagpipe sound” and rhythmic color of the Scottish “snap”. This arrangement can also be used with young bands as a lesson in the concept of counterpoint. Each of the two main themes is clearly stated on its own, but remarkable things happen when they are played together. Through skillful selection of themes and contrapuntal composition, Mike Hannickel does a masterful job of melding these contrasting songs into a unified and energetic adventure into the Highlands. Fun to play, and a great style study! / Niveau : 2.5 / Musique légère originale / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Par SPARKE PHILIP. Highland Dawn dépeint un lever de soleil sur les Hautes-Terres d?Écosse, où de magnifiques paysages montagneux et un air limpide créent une ambiance bien particulière. Une section centrale plus rapide évoque la vie qui s?éveille au petit matin, avec les ornements (snaps en anglais) qui caractérisent la musique des cornemuses ; mais la sérénité du début revient pour mener la pièce à une conclusion paisible. / Date parution : 2022-01-14/ Répertoire / Concert Band/Harmonie

Par HANNICKEL MIKE. Your Beginning Band will enjoy this musical joke on their Christmas concert audience. While bits of The Twelve Days of Christmas, O Christmas Tree and Up on the Housetop make up the body of the music, the real intent of the piece is to be a humorous snapshot of a typical family at the Christmas morning gift exchange. This is a chance for your Beginners to play well known seasonal tunes in a really fun setting this year. / Niveau : 0.5 / Musique légère originale / Répertoire / Concert Band
