Following a
celebrated series of wind
ensemble tone poems about
national parks in the
American West, Dan
Welcher’s Upriver
celebrates the Lewis &
Clark Expedition from the
Missouri River to
Oregon’s Columbia
Gorge, following the
Louisiana Purchase of
1803. Welcher’s
imaginative textures and
inventiveness are freshly
modern, evoking our
American heritage,
including references to
Shenandoah and other folk
songs known to have been
sung on the expedition.
For advanced players.
Duration:
14’. In 1803,
President Thomas
Jefferson sent Meriwether
Lewis and William
Clark’s Corps of
Discovery to find a water
route to the Pacific and
explore the uncharted
West. He believed woolly
mammoths, erupting
volcanoes, and mountains
of pure salt awaited
them. What they found was
no less mind-boggling:
some 300 species unknown
to science, nearly 50
Indian tribes, and the
Rockies.Ihave been a
student of the Lewis and
Clark expedition, which
Thomas Jefferson called
the “Voyage of
Discovery,†for as
long as I can remember.
This astonishing journey,
lasting more than
two-and-a-half years,
began and ended in St.
Louis, Missouri —
and took the travelers up
more than a few rivers in
their quest to find the
Northwest Passage to the
Pacific Ocean. In an age
without speedy
communication, this was
akin to space travel out
of radio range in our own
time: no one knew if,
indeed, the party had
even survived the voyage
for more than a year.
Most of them were
soldiers. A few were
French-Canadian voyageurs
— hired trappers
and explorers, who were
fluent in French (spoken
extensively in the
region, due to earlier
explorers from France)
and in some of the Indian
languages they might
encounter. One of the
voyageurs, a man named
Pierre Cruzatte, also
happened to be a
better-than-average
fiddle player. In many
respects, the travelers
were completely on their
own for supplies and
survival, yet,
incredibly, only one of
them died during the
voyage. Jefferson had
outfitted them with food,
weapons, medicine, and
clothing — and
along with other
trinkets, a box of 200
jaw harps to be used in
trading with the Indians.
Their trip was long,
perilous to the point of
near catastrophe, and
arduous. The dream of a
Northwest Passage proved
ephemeral, but the
northwestern quarter of
the continent had finally
been explored, mapped,
and described to an
anxious world. When the
party returned to St.
Louis in 1806, and with
the Louisiana Purchase
now part of the United
States, they were greeted
as national heroes.Ihave
written a sizeable number
of works for wind
ensemble that draw their
inspiration from the
monumental spaces found
in the American West.
Four of them (Arches, The
Yellowstone Fires,
Glacier, and Zion) take
their names, and in large
part their being, from
actual national parks in
Utah, Wyoming, and
Montana. But Upriver,
although it found its
voice (and its finale) in
the magnificent Columbia
Gorge in Oregon, is about
a much larger region.
This piece, like its
brother works about the
national parks,
doesn’t try to
tell a story. Instead, it
captures the flavor of a
certain time, and of a
grand adventure. Cast in
one continuous movement
and lasting close to
fourteen minutes, the
piece falls into several
subsections, each with
its own heading: The
Dream (in which
Jefferson’s vision
of a vast expanse of
western land is opened);
The Promise, a chorale
that re-appears several
times in the course of
the piece and represents
the seriousness of the
presidential mission; The
River; The Voyageurs; The
River II ; Death and
Disappointment; Return to
the Voyage; and The River
III .The music includes
several quoted melodies,
one of which is familiar
to everyone as the
ultimate “river
song,†and which
becomes the
through-stream of the
work. All of the quoted
tunes were either sung by
the men on the voyage, or
played by
Cruzatte’s fiddle.
From various journals and
diaries, we know the men
found enjoyment and
solace in music, and
almost every night
encampment had at least a
bit of music in it. In
addition to Cruzatte,
there were two other
members of the party who
played the fiddle, and
others made do with
singing, or playing upon
sticks, bones, the
ever-present jaw harps,
and boat horns. From
Lewis’ journals, I
found all the tunes used
in Upriver: Shenandoah
(still popular after more
than 200 years),
V’la bon vent,
Soldier’s Joy,
Johnny Has Gone for a
Soldier, Come Ye Sinners
Poor and Needy (a hymn
sung to the tune
“Beech
Springâ€) and
Fisher’s Hornpipe.
The work follows an
emotional journey: not
necessarily step-by-step
with the Voyage of
Discovery heroes, but a
kind of grand arch.
Beginning in the mists of
history and myth,
traversing peaks and
valleys both real and
emotional (and a solemn
funeral scene), finding
help from native people,
and recalling their zeal
upon finding the one
great river that will, in
fact, take them to the
Pacific. When the men
finally roar through the
Columbia Gorge in their
boats (a feat that even
the Indians had not
attempted), the
magnificent river
combines its theme with
the chorale of
Jefferson’s
Promise. The Dream is
fulfilled: not quite the
one Jefferson had
imagined (there is no
navigable water passage
from the Missouri to the
Pacific), but the dream
of a continental
destiny.

Max Steiner was born in
Vienna in 1888, and grew
up surrounded by music.
He was a student of the
Imperial Academy of
Music, having among his
teachers Gustav Mahler.
In 1936 he signed an
agreement with Warner.
Steiner, considered the
father of symphonic music
in Hollywood style. One
of his most famous and
popular masterworks is,
without any doubt, Gone
with the Wind (1939). The
movie was an immediate
success and won ten
Academy Awards. In spite
of the years passed, this
movie still moves young
audiences around the
world. Lorenzo Bocci has
chosen the song Tara?s

Washed up on
the Phaeacian shore after
a shipwreck, Odysseus is
introduced to King
Alcinous. As he sits in
the palace, he tells the
Phaeacians of his
wanderings since leaving
Troy. Odysseus and his
men fi rst landed on the
island of the Cicones
wherethey sacked the city
of Ismarus. From there,
great storms swept them
to the land of the
hospitable Lotus Eaters.
Then they sailed to the
land of the Cyclopes.
Odysseus and twelve of
his men entered the cave
of Polyphemus. After the
single-eyed giantmade
handfuls of his men into
meals, Odysseus fi nally
defeated him. He got him
drunk and once he had
fallen asleep, he and his
men stabbed a glowing
spike into the
Cyclop’s single
eye, completely blinding
him. They escaped by
clinging to the belliesof
some sheep. Once aboard,
Odysseus taunted the
Cyclop by revealing him
his true identity.
Enraged, Polyphemus
hurled rocks at the ship,
trying to sink it. After
leaving the
Cyclopes’ island,
they arrived at the home
of Aeolus, ruler of the
winds.Aeolus off ered
Odysseus a bag trapping
all the strong winds
within except one - the
one which would take him
straight back to Ithaca.
As the ship came within
sight of Ithaca, the
crewmen, curious about
the bag, decided to open
it. The winds escapedand
stirred up a storm.
Odysseus and his crew
came to the land of the
cannibalistic
Laestrygonians, who sank
all but one of the ships.
The survivors went next
to Aeaea, the island of
the witch-goddess Circe.
Odysseus sent out a
scouting party butCirce
turned them into pigs.
With the help of an
antidote the god Hermes
had given him, Odysseus
managed to overpower the
goddess and forced her to
change his men back to
human form. When it was
time for Odysseus to
leave, Circe told him to
sail tothe realm of the
dead to speak with the
spirit of the seer
Tiresias. One
day’s sailing took
them to the land of the
Cimmerians. There, he
performed sacrifi ces to
attract the souls of the
dead. Tiresias told him
what would happen to him
next. He thengot to talk
with his mother,
Anticleia, and met the
spirits of Agamemnon,
Achilles, Patroclus,
Antilochus, Ajax and
others. He then saw the
souls of the damned
Tityos, Tantalus, and
Sisyphus. Odysseus soon
found himself mobbed by
souls. He
becamefrightened, ran
back to his ship, and
sailed away. While back
at Aeaea, Circe told him
about the dangers he
would have to face on his
way back home. She
advised him to avoid
hearing the song of the
Sirens; but if he really
felt he had to hear,
thenhe should be tied to
the mast of the ship,
which he did. Odysseus
then successfully steered
his crew past Charybdis
(a violent whirlpool) and
Scylla (a multiple-headed
monster), but Scylla
managed to devour six of
his men. Finally,
Odysseus and hissurviving
crew approached the
island where the Sun god
kept sacred cattle.
Odysseus wanted to sail
past, but the crewmen
persuaded him to let them
rest there. Odysseus
passed Circe’s
counsel on to his men.
Once he had fallen
asleep, his men
impiouslykilled and ate
some of the cattle. When
the Sun god found out, he
asked Zeus to punish
them. Shortly after they
set sail from the island,
Zeus destroyed the ship
and all the men died
except for Odysseus.
After ten days, Odysseus
was washed up on
theisland of the nymph
Calypso.
Nachdem
er an die Küste der
Phäaker gespült
wurde, wird Odysseus dem
König Akinoos
vorgestellt. In dessen
Palast erzählt er den
Phäakern von den
Fahrten nach seiner
Abreise aus Troja.
Odysseus und seine
Männer landen
zunächst auf
denKikonen, einer
Inselgruppe, wo sie die
Stadt Ismaros einnehmen.
Von dort aus treiben sie
mächtige Stürme
zum Land der
gastfreundlichen
Lotophagen
(Lotos-Essern). Dann
segeln sie zum Land der
Kyklopen (Zyklopen).
Odysseus und seine
zwölf Mannenbetreten
die Höhle von
Poloyphem, dem Sohn
Poseidons. Nachdem dieser
einige der Männer
verspeist hat,
überwaÃ…Nltigt
ihn Odysseus, indem er
ihn betrunken macht und
dann mit einem
glühenden Spieß
in dessen einziges Auge
sticht und ihn
somitblendet. Odysseus
und die übrigen
Männer fl iehen an den
Bäuchen von Schafen
hängend. Wieder an
Bord, provoziert Odysseus
den Zyklopen, indem er
ihm seine wahre
Identität verrät.
Wütend bewirft
Polyphem das Schiff mit
Steinen undversucht, es
zu versenken. Nachdem sie
die Insel der Kyklopen
verlassen haben, kommen
Odysseus und seine Mannen
ins Reich von Aiolos, dem
Herr der Winde. Aiolos
schenkt ihm einen Beutel,
in dem alle Winde
eingesperrt sind,
außer dem, der ihn
direktzurück nach
Ithaka treiben soll. Als
das Schiff in Sichtweite
von Ithaka ist, öff
nen die neugierigen
Seemänner den
Windsack. Die Winde entfl
iehen und erzeugen einen
Sturm. Odysseus und seine
Mannschaft verschlägt
es ins Land
derkannibalischen
Laistrygonen, die alle
ihre Schiff e, bis auf
eines, versenken. Die
Ãœberlebenden reisen
weiter nach Aiaia, der
Insel der Zauberin Kirke.
Odysseus sendet einen
Spähtrupp aus, der von
Kirke aber in Schweine
verwandelt wird. Mit
Hilfeeines Gegenmittels
vom Götterboten Hermes
kann Odysseus Kirke
überwaÃ…Nltigen
und er zwingt sie, seinen
Gefährten wieder ihre
menschliche Gestalt
zurückzugeben. Als
er wieder aufbrechen
will, rät Kirke ihm,
den Seher Teiresias in
derUnterwelt aufzusuchen
und zu befragen. Eine
Tagesreise führt
sie dann ins Land der
Kimmerer, nahe dem
Eingang des Hades. Dort
bringt Odysseus Opfer, um
die Seelen der Toten
anzurufen. Teireisas sagt
ihm sein Schicksal
voraus. Dann darf
Odysseusmit seiner Mutter
Antikleia und den Seelen
von Agamemnon, Achilles,
Patroklos, Antilochus,
Ajax und anderen Toten
sprechen. Dann sieht er
die Seelen der Verdammten
Tityos, Tantalos und
Sisyphos. Bald wird
Odysseus selbst von den
Seelen gequält,
kehrtvoll Angst zu seinem
Schiff zurück und
segelt davon. In Aiaia
hatte Kirke ihn vor den
drohenden Gefahren der
Heimreise gewarnt. Sie
riet ihm, den Gesang der
Sirenen zu vermeiden,
wenn er aber unbedingt
zuhören müsse,
solle er sich an denMast
seines Schiff es bindet
lassen, was er dann auch
tut. Dann führt
Odysseus seine Mannschaft
erfolgreich durch die
Meerenge zwischen Skylla
und Charybdis, wobei
Skylla jedoch sechs
seiner Männer
verschlingt.
Schließlich erreichen
Odysseusund die
überlebende
Besatzung die Insel, auf
der der Sonnengott Helios
heiliges Vieh hält.
Odysseus will
weitersegeln, aber seine
Mannschaft
überredet ihn zu
einer Rast. Odysseus
erzählt ihnen von
Kirkes Warnung, aber
kaum, dass
ereingeschlafen ist,
töten die Männer in
gotteslästerlicher
Weise einige Rinder und
verspeisen sie. Als
Helios dies entdeckt,
bittet er Zeus, sie zu
bestrafen. Kurz nachdem
sie die Segel für
die Abreise von der Insel
gesetzt haben,
zerstört Zeusdas
Schiff und alle außer
Odysseus sterben. Nach
zehn Tagen wird Odysseus
an den Strand der Insel
der Nymphe Kalypso
angespült.

Odysseus und seine Mannen
ins Reich von Aiolos, dem
Herr der Winde. Aiolos
schenkt ihm einen Beutel,
in dem alle Winde
eingesperrt sind,
außer dem, der ihn
direktzurück nach
Ithaka treiben soll. Als
das Schiff in Sichtweite
von Ithaka ist, öff

Sturm. Odysseus und seine

es ins Land
derkannibalischen
Laistrygonen, die alle
ihre Schiff e, bis auf
eines, versenken. Die
Ãœberlebenden reisen
weiter nach Aiaia, der
Insel der Zauberin Kirke.
Odysseus sendet einen
Spähtrupp aus, der von
Kirke aber in Schweine
verwandelt wird. Mit
Hilfeeines Gegenmittels
vom Götterboten Hermes
kann Odysseus Kirke
überwaÃ…Nltigen
und er zwingt sie, seinen
Gefährten wieder ihre
menschliche Gestalt
zurückzugeben. Als
er wieder aufbrechen
will, rät Kirke ihm,
den Seher Teiresias in
derUnterwelt aufzusuchen
und zu befragen. Eine
Tagesreise führt
sie dann ins Land der
Kimmerer, nahe dem
Eingang des Hades. Dort
bringt Odysseus Opfer, um
die Seelen der Toten
anzurufen. Teireisas sagt
ihm sein Schicksal
voraus. Dann darf
Odysseusmit seiner Mutter
Antikleia und den Seelen
von Agamemnon, Achilles,
Patroklos, Antilochus,
Ajax und anderen Toten
sprechen. Dann sieht er
die Seelen der Verdammten
Tityos, Tantalos und
Sisyphos. Bald wird
Odysseus selbst von den
Seelen gequält,
kehrtvoll Angst zu seinem
Schiff zurück und
segelt davon. In Aiaia
hatte Kirke ihn vor den
drohenden Gefahren der
Heimreise gewarnt. Sie
riet ihm, den Gesang der
Sirenen zu vermeiden,
wenn er aber unbedingt
zuhören müsse,
solle er sich an denMast
seines Schiff es bindet
lassen, was er dann auch
tut. Dann führt
Odysseus seine Mannschaft
erfolgreich durch die
Meerenge zwischen Skylla
und Charybdis, wobei
Skylla jedoch sechs
seiner Männer
verschlingt.
Schließlich erreichen
Odysseusund die
überlebende
Besatzung die Insel, auf
der der Sonnengott Helios
heiliges Vieh hält.
Odysseus will
weitersegeln, aber seine
Mannschaft
überredet ihn zu
einer Rast. Odysseus
erzählt ihnen von
Kirkes Warnung, aber
kaum, dass
ereingeschlafen ist,
töten die Männer in
gotteslästerlicher
Weise einige Rinder und
verspeisen sie. Als
Helios dies entdeckt,
bittet er Zeus, sie zu
bestrafen. Kurz nachdem
sie die Segel für
die Abreise von der Insel
gesetzt haben,
zerstört Zeusdas
Schiff und alle außer
Odysseus sterben. Nach

2011 was a
disastrous year for
Japan: on March 11 the
northeast of the country
suffered a violent
earthquake, which
triggered a huge tsunami
and caused massive damage
to people and the
environment. The ensuing
problems with the nuclear
reactor at Fukushima only
increased the misery: a
black day in the
country’s
history…One almost
inevitable consequence of
such dramatic
circumstances is the
particular damage
suffered by the cultural
arts. And so it was in
Japan: various high
school wind orchestras in
the effected areas lost
their practice rooms
and/or instruments. It
will take a long time
before the damage
suffered is
repaired—and it
will take great effort to
overcome thepsychological
effects, too. Focusing on
the latter, Yutada
Nishida (director of The
Bandwagon radio program)
asked a few composers for
a simple work that could
be played by many
orchestras. It just so
happened that the Osakan
Philharmonic Winds (with
whom Jan Van der Roost
had conducted a concert
exclusively of his own
works on September 25th)
had had a similar idea.
This concert saw the
baptism of Song of Hope.
This piece immediately
struck a chord with
musicians and audience
alike: it begins bleakly
in the low register and
evolves to a more open,
optimistic close. There
really is hope for better
times!
2011 was
een rampzalig jaar voor
Japan: op 11 maart
teisterde een hevige
aardbeving het
noordoosten van het land,
bracht een enorme tsunami
teweeg en veroorzaakte
zeer grote schade aan
mens en natuur. De
daaruit voortvloeiende
problemenmet de
kernreactor van Fukushima
maakten de ellende nog
groter: een zwarte pagina
in het bestaan van het
land ... Dat in
dergelijke dramatische
omstandigheden ook (en
vooral) het culturele
bestel een flinke knauw
krijgt, ishelaas een
haast onvermijdelijke
consequentie. Zo ook in
Japan: verschillende high
school bands in de
getroffen regio verloren
hun repetitieruimte en/of
instrumenten: het zal
lang duren voordat de
geleden schade is
hersteld - enhet zal ook
moeite kosten om er
mentaal weer bovenop te
geraken. Met het oog op
dat laatste aspect
verzocht Yutaka Nishida
(samensteller van het
radioprogramma The
Bandwagon) een paar
componisten om een
eenvoudig werkje te
schrijvendat speelbaar is
door een groot aantal
orkesten. Als bij toeval
kwam een dergelijk
verzoek eveneens van de
kant van de OSAKAN
Philharmonic Winds,
waarmee Jan Van der Roost
op 25 september een
concert dirigeerde,
uitsluitend gewijdaan
eigen werken. Daar werd
Song of Hope dan ook ten
doop gehouden en het
werkje sloeg meteen aan
bij uitvoerders en
publiek: na een tamelijk
donkere start in het lage
register evolueert het
tot een optimistischer en
opener slot.Er is
inderdaad hoop op betere
tijden!
Am 11.

heftiges Erdbeben in
Japan einen riesigen
Tsunami mit

Yutaka Nishida vom
Radioprogramm The
Bandwagon bat daher
einige Komponisten,
darunter Jan Van der
Roost, ein einfaches,
für viele Orchester
spielbares Werk zu
schreiben. Song of
Hope beginnt
düster im tiefen
Register, um sich dann zu
einem optimistischeren
Schluss hin zu
entwickeln. Es gibt sie,
die Hoffnung auf bessere
Zeiten... !

Zion is the
third and final
installment of a series
of works for Wind
Ensemble inspired by
national parks in the
western United States,
collectively called Three
Places in the West. As in
the other two works (The
Yellowstone Fires and
Arches), it is my
intention to convey more
an impression of the
feelings I've had in Zion
National Park in Utah
than an attempt at
pictorial description.
Zion is a place with
unrivalled natural
grandeur, being a sort of
huge box canyon in which
the traveler is
constantly overwhelmed by
towering rock walls on
every side of him -- but
it is also a place with a
human history, having
been inhabited by several
tribes of native
Americans before the
arrival of the Mormon
settlers in the mid-19th
century. By the time the
Mormons reached Utah,
they had been driven all
the way from New York
State through Ohio and,
with tragic losses,
through Missouri. They
saw Utah in general as a
place nobody wanted, but
they were nonetheless
determined to keep it to
themselves. Although Zion
Canyon was never a Mormon
Stronghold, the people
who reached it and
claimed it (and gave it
its present name) had
been through extreme
trials. It is the
religious fervor of these
persecuted people that I
was able to draw upon in
creating Zion as a piece
of music. There are two
quoted hymns in the work:
Zion's Walls (which Aaron
Copland adapted to his
own purposes in both is
Old American Songs and
the opera The Tender
Land) and Zion's
Security, which I found
in the same volume in
which Copland found
Zion's Walls -- that
inexhaustible storehouse
of 19th-century hymnody
called The Sacred Harp.
My work opens with a
three-verse setting of
Zion's Security, a stern
tune in F-sharp minor
which is full of resolve.
(The words of this hymn
are resolute and strong,
rallying the faithful to
be firm, and describing
the city of our God they
hope to establish). This
melody alternates with a
fanfare tune, whose
origins will be revealed
in later music, until the
second half of the piece
begins: a driving
rhythmic ostinato based
on a 3/4-4/4 alternating
meter scheme. This pauses
at its height to restate
Zion's Security one more
time, in a rather obscure
setting surrounded by
freely shifting patterns
in the flutes, clarinets,
and percussion -- until
the sun warms the ground
sufficiently for the
second hymn to appear.
Zion's Walls is set in
7/8, unlike Copland's
9/8-6/8 meters (the
original is quite
strange, and doesn't
really fit any constant
meter), and is introduced
by a warm horn solo. The
two hymns vie for
attention from here to
the end of the piece,
with the glowingly
optimistic Zion's Walls
finally achieving
prominence. The work ends
with a sense of triumph
and unbreakable spirit.
Zion was commissioned in
1994 by the wind
ensembles of the
University of Texas at
Arlington, the University
of Texas at Austin, and
the University of
Oklahoma. It is dedicated
to the memory of Aaron
Copland.

The premier
performance of The
Rite of Spring in
1913 is the stuff of
legends. There are
disagreements amongst the
people who attended
whether it was the music
or the choreography that
caused the near-riot in
the audience. Since then
The Rite has been
performed regularly and
is considered to be one
of the most influential
works of the 20th
century, laying the basis
for modern jazz, film
music and even heavy
metal. It's all here: the
driving rhythms, the
haunting Russian folk
melodies, the brilliant
scoring, the crunching
harmonies and the epic
drama! The intention with
this arrangement for band
was to stay as true as
possible to the original
and choose the sections
that would work well in
this context. Sure to
become a valued and
important addition to the
wind band repertoire!

The
turbulence and intensity
of a major wind storm is
effectively recreated in
Richard Saucedo's Of Gale
Force Winds. Based around
rhythmic figures that
create a wind-like
effect, and combined with
a playful melody, the
piece alternates between
6/8 and 9/8 staying
rhythmically dynamic
throughout. A very brief
moment of repose hints at
the period of calm that
comes in the middle or
“eye” of
bigger storms. The fury
of the storm then returns
with darker sonorities
and increased energy as
this descriptive work
comes to an exciting
conclusion. Duration:

Nordanvind
is a tour de force
symphonic rhapsody that
is built on three
Scandinavian folk songs.
Composer Carl Strommen
has composed these
Viking-influenced
melodies into a concert
setting that brings out
all of the history of the
Scandinavian people. The
piece is at times bold
and aggressive, at other
times beautiful. Carl
employs all of the
instrumental colors of
the concert band to
create a new work for
more advanced
ensembles. Modern
Scandinavians are
descendants of the
Vikings, an adventuresome
people who were known for
their love of the sea,
their naval prowess, and
as fierce fighters . The
Scandinavian Vikings were
warriors from Denmark,
Norway, and Sweden who
traded, raided and
settled in various parts
of Europe, Russia, the
North Atlantic islands,
and the northeastern
coast of North America
.Starting around 1850,
over one million Swedes
left their homeland for
the United States in
search of religious
freedom and open farm
land . Augustana College
was founded in 1860 by
graduates of Swedish
universities and is
located on the
Mississippi River in Rock
Island, Illinois . Home
of the
“Vikings,â€
Augustana College is the
oldest Swedish- American
institution of higher
learning in the United
States . This powerful
and lively piece takes
inspiration from Swedish
history and from Swedish
folk songs and hymns
.Havsdrake (Dragon of the
Sea)The Nordanvind or
“North Windâ€
blows a cold wind during
a journey of a group of
courageous Viking rowers
. The
“Dragon-shipâ€
or long ships designed
for raiding and war was a
sophisticated, fast ship
able to navigate in very
shallow water . To
musically portray these
magnificent seafaring
vessels, the director is
encouraged to use an
Ocean Drum (or a rain
stick) during the
introduction . Wind
players may consider
blowing air through their
instruments to suggest
the North wind . Adding
men’s voices to
accompany the haunting
low brass and percussive
“rowerâ€
sounds can be helpful in
creating the dark and
ominous portrayal of
Viking adventurers
.Slangpolska efter Byss -
KalleIn Sweden, a
“polska†is a
partner dance where the
dancers spin each other
(släng in Swedish
“to sling or
tossâ€) .
Slangpolska efter Byss -
Kalle is attributed to
Byss-Kalle, who was a
notable Swedish folk
musician, specifically a
nyckelharpa player .
Slangpolska efter Byss -
Kalle is a traditional
“polskaâ€
dance song most often
played on the Nyckelharpa
or keyed fiddle and is
commonly heard in pubs
and at festive events
throughout Sweden .
Approximately 10,000
nyckelharpa players live
in Sweden today, and the
Swedish and the American
Nyckelharpa Associations
are dedicated to this
Swedish National

Kalle .Tryggare Kan Ingen
Vara (Children of the
Heavenly Father)Tryggare
Kan Ingen Vara Is a
traditional Swedish
melody, possibly of
German roots, and was
believed to be arranged
as a hymn by the Swedish
hymn writer, Karolina
Wilhelmina Sandell-Berg
(1832–1903) . As a
daughter of a Swedish
Lutheran minister, she
began writing poems as a
teenager and is said to
have written over 1,700
different texts . There
are two different
accounts as to the
inspiration for this hymn
. The first story is that
Lina (as she was called)
wrote the hymn to honor
her father and to say
thank you to him for
raising her and
protecting her . A second
belief is of her
witnessing the tragic
death of her father . She
and her father were on a
boat, when a wave threw
her father overboard . It
was said that the
profound effect of
watching her father drown
is what caused Lina to
write the text to this
hymn . Although this is a
treasured song to people
of Swedish descent
everywhere, it speaks to
all people about a father
tending and nourishing
his children, and
protecting them from evil

Frigyes
Hidas.
Frigyes
Hidas (1928-2007) was the
most prolific Hungarian
composer for wind
ensembles, and his works
are the most often
performed. His worldwide
popularity is based on
works such as Balettzene
(Ballet music), Vidam
zene (Cheerful music), El
nem tancolt balett
(Undanced ballet),
Requiem and Save the Sea.
His folk song suites,
which are enormously
popular in his homeland,
are fine examples of
Hidas' mature style in
the genre of folk song
arrangements. The first
suite works up nine folk
songs of differing
character and atmosphere,
while the second, with
its recurrent structure,
makes use of five
melodies, creating a
modern harmonic
environment around them
and thereby highlighting
even more the beauty of
the melodies. To perform
these works effectively,
ample technique is
required, as well as an
ability to shape the
music freely. Highly
recommended for ensembles
with an interest in
Hungarian wind music and
folklore.

2011 was a
disastrous year for
Japan: on March 11 the
northeast of the country
suffered a violent
earthquake, which
triggered a huge tsunami
and caused massive damage
to people and the
environment. The ensuing
problems with the nuclear
reactor atFukushima only
increased the misery: a
black day in the
country's
history... One almost
inevitable consequence of
such dramatic
circumstances is the
particular damage
suffered by the cultural
arts. And so it was in
Japan: various high
school wind orchestras in
the effected areas lost
their practice rooms
and/or instruments.It
will take a long time
before the damage
suffered is repaired -
and it will take great
effort to overcome the
psychological effects,
too. Focusing on the
latter, Yutada Nishida
(director of The
Bandwagon radio program)
asked a few composers
fora simple work that
could be played by many
orchestras. It just so
happened that the Osakan
Philharmonic Winds (with
whom Jan Van der Roost
had conducted a concert
exclusively of his own
works on September 25th)
had had a similar idea.
This concert saw the
baptism of Song of
Hope. This
pieceimmediately struck a
chord with musicians and
audience alike: it begins
bleakly in the low
register and evolves to a
more open, optimistic
close. There really is
hope for better
times!
2011 was
een rampzalig jaar voor
Japan: op 11 maart
teisterde een hevige
aardbeving het
noordoosten van het land,
bracht een enorme tsunami
teweeg en veroorzaakte
zeer grote schade aan
mens en natuur. De
daaruit voortvloeiende
problemenmet
dekernreactor van
Fukushima maakten de
ellende nog groter: een
zwarte pagina in het
bestaan van het land ...
Dat in dergelijke
dramatische
omstandigheden ook (en
vooral) het culturele
bestel een flinke knauw
krijgt, ishelaas een
haastonvermijdelijke
consequentie. Zo ook in
Japan: verschillende high
school bands in de
getroffen regio verloren
hun repetitieruimte en/of
instrumenten: het zal
lang duren voordat de
geleden schade is
hersteld - enhet zal ook
moeite kosten om er
mentaalweer bovenop te
geraken. Met het oog op
dat laatste aspect
verzocht Yutaka Nishida
(samensteller van het
radioprogramma The
Bandwagon) een paar
componisten om een
eenvoudig werkje te
schrijvendat speelbaar is
door een groot aantal
orkesten. Alsbij
toeval kwam een dergelijk
verzoek eveneens van de
kant van de OSAKAN
Philharmonic Winds,
waarmee Jan Van der Roost
op 25 september een
concert dirigeerde,
uitsluitend gewijdaan
eigen werken. Daar werd
Song of Hope dan
ook ten doop gehoudenen
het werkje sloeg meteen
aan bij uitvoerders en
publiek: na een tamelijk
donkere start in het lage
register evolueert het
tot een optimistischer en
opener slot.Er is
inderdaad hoop op betere
tijden!
Am 11.
März 2011 löste ein
heftiges Erdbeben in
Japan einen riesigen
Tsunami mit
desaströsen Folgen
für Mensch, Natur auch
das kulturelle Leben.
Yutaka Nishida vom
Radioprogramm The
Bandwagon bat daher
einige Komponisten,
darunter Jan Van
derRoost, ein einfaches,
für viele Orchester
spielbares Werk zu
schreiben. Song of
Hope beginnt
düster im tiefen
Register, um sich dann zu
einem optimistischeren
Schluss hin zu
entwickeln. Es gibt sie,
die Hoffnung auf bessere
Zeiten... !

Songs
from Across the Water
was commissioned by
Pennsylvania Symphonic
Winds - Phil Evans,
Founder and Director.
Phil Evans hails from the
UK and served for 25
years in the Band of HM
Royal Marines. Now
resident in the USA he
founded Pennsylvania
Symphonic Winds in 2008,
giving them the tag line
‘An American Band
with a British
Accent’, as he
wanted to combine the
best of both
countries’ band
traditions. With this in
mind, composer Philip
Sparke decided to create
a suite of British folk
songs, scored with an
American influence to
fulfil the philosophy of
the band’s tag
line. The three
movements, which are
played without a break,
are based on the
following folk
songs,which come from all
corners of the British
Isles: The Three
Ravens & The Cruiskeen
Lawn, The Lark in
the Clear Air and
The Piper o’
Dundee & Men of
Harlech.
Songs from
Across the Water werd
geschreven in opdracht
van de Pennsylvania
Symphonic Winds, waarvan
Phil Evans de oprichter
en tevens de dirigent is.
Phil Evans is geboren en
getogen in het Verenigd
Koninkrijk, hij was 25
jaar lang lid van de Band
of HM Royal Marines.
Tegenwoordig woont hij in
de VS, waar hij in 2008
de Pennsylvania Symphonic
Winds oprichtte, met als
motto ‘An American
band with a British
Accent’ (Een
Amerikaans blaasorkest
met een Brits accent),
aangezien hij de
blaasmuziektradities uit
beide landen wilde
combineren. Met dit
gegeven in zijn
achterhoofd creëerde
componist Philip Sparke
een suite van Britse
folksongs, georkestreerd
met een Amerikaanse
invloedom de filosofie
achter het eerdergenoemde
motto eer aan te doen. De
drie delen, die zonder
onderbreking worden
gespeeld, zijn gebaseerd
op de volgende folksongs,
die afkomstig zijn uit
alle hoeken van de Britse
Eilanden: The Three
Ravens & The Cruiskeen
Lawn, The Lark in
the Clear Air en
The Piper o’
Dundee & Men of
Harlech.
Songs from
Across the Water
wurde von den
Pennsylvania Symphonic
Winds in Auftrag gegeben,
deren Gründer und
Leiter Phil Evans ist.
Phil Evans stammt aus dem
Vereinigten Königreich
und spielte 25 Jahre lang
im Blasorchester der HM
Royal Marines. Inzwischen
lebt er in den USA und
gründete 2008 die
Pennsylvania Symphonic
Winds, denen er den
Beinamen An American band
with a British
Accent“ (Ein
amerikanisches
Blasorchester mit einem
britischen Akzent“)
gab, da er das Beste aus
der
Blasorchester-Tradition
beider Länder
miteinander vereinen
wollte. Aus diesem Grund
hat der Komponist Philip
Sparke eine Suite aus
britischen Volksliedern
komponiert, wobei
dieInstrumentierung einen
amerikanischen Einfluss
hat, um so die
Philosophie des
Orchesterbeinamens zu
verwirklichen. Die drei
Sätze, die ohne Pause
gespielt werden, basieren
auf den folgenden
Volksliedern, die aus
allen Gegenden der
britischen Inseln
stammen: The Three
Ravens & The Cruiskeen
Lawn, The Lark in
the Clear Air sowie
The Piper o’
Dundee & Men of
Harlech.

The
ultimate full score
medley of beautiful
melodies from the Studio
Ghibli film Princess
Mononoke (1997, dir.
Hayao Miyazaki), arranged
for concert band in the
series: New Sounds in
Brass (NSB). Grade 3;
Duration: approx.8'50;
Composed by Joe Hisaishi;
Arranged by Takashi
Hoshide. Arranger Takashi
Hoshide says, I have
selected beautiful
melodies from the
soundtrack of 'Princess
Mononoke' (1997, directed
by Hayao Miyazaki) and
arranged them into a
medley. What can be said
about these songs as a
whole is that they
combine a grand
continental scale with
the delicacy that
reflects Japanese
emotions. Since there are
no upbeat songs in this
selection, I had to work
hard on the arrangement,
but this allowed for
creating contrasts and
transitions between each
scene in the performance.
'Ashitaka Sekki (English
title: The Legend of
Ashitaka)' - 'Sekki'
means a story that is not
recorded but passed down
orally. In this anime,
this can be considered a
sub-main theme. The song
starts with a feeling
that the story is about
to begin and, once the
theme kicks in, aim for a
grand performance to
convey its scale.
'Encounter' - This is the
music that plays during
the scene where the
protagonist Ashitaka
meets San. Interestingly,
the motif of the main
theme 'Princess Mononoke'
is used in this melody.
Here, let's pursue the
shifts in the timbre of
individual phrases,
creating a beautiful and
aesthetic soundscape.
'Princess Mononoke' -
This is the main title of
the anime. The melody
line is carried by horns
and trumpets.
