Satoshi Yagisawa has lived in Ichikawa City, Chiba Prefecture in Japan since he was in elementary school. Around Christmas time every year in Ichikawa City, seven Chiba high school bands hold a joint concert. For the 20th anniversary the composer was asked to write a piece to be performed to close the concert. This piece was first performed in 2010 by Tadashi Yoshida, conductor and close friend of Satoshi Yagisawa, with a combined wind orchestra from Chiba Prefectural Kokubun High School, Chiba Prefectural Ichikawa Nishi High School, Chiba Prefectural Matsudo Mutsumi High School, Chiba Prefectural Matsudo Akiyama High School, Chiba Prefectural Matsudo Yakiri High School,Chiba Prefectural Funabashi Nishi High School and Chiba Prefectural Shiroi High School. The title was chosen from suggestions submitted by participating students. Dream Cruise was chosen by Satomi Otsu, a junior in Chiba Prefectural Matsudo Mutsumi High School Wind Orchestra. The composer skillfully scored this piece and created the chorus part so that all the hundreds of students could participate in the performance. This version has been revised so it can be played without the chorus part.

In de Japanse stad Ichikawa City, de woonplaats van Satoshi Yagisawa, houden zeven schoolorkesten ieder jaar rond kerst een gezamenlijk concert. Met zoveel deelnemers was de componist er veel aan gelegen een werk te orkestreren waaraan iedereen kon deelnemen. Zo componeerde Yagisawa het werk bijzonder zorgvuldig, met toevoeging van een koorpartij. Op deze manier konden alle leerlingen aan het optreden meedoen. Deze herziene versie kunt u zowel mét als zonder koor uitvoeren.

Prog ram Notes: It was a happy coincidence that the commission for SINFONIA XVI: TRANSCENDENTAL VIENNA came from the Henry David Thoreau School located in Vienna, Virginia. Thoreau is one of the magic names in American culture: Henry David Thoreau, one of the leading figures of the Transcendentalist movement, centered in 19th-century New England, left us a body of unique philosophical and poetical writings. To utter the words, Walden Pond, is to invoke an America long past in physical actuality, but still present in the minds and hearts of many American citizens. The name, Vienna, of course, summons thoughts of the Old World: culture, fine food, wine, civilized cities. While contemplating the form that SINFONIA XVI should take, I found myself thinking of two pillars of Viennese culture: expressionism and the waltz. Musically speaking, expressionism reached a zenith in the works of Arnold Schoenberg and Alban Berg. It was Berg, in particular, that I wanted to invoke in the outer movements of my composition. I knew I would also have to include a waltz, and an invocation of the mysterious forces that are contained in both expressionism and transcendentalism. Thus was the structure of the work generated. The outer movements with their vision of the night sky and the stars, Aldebaran and Sirius, frame the central movements, which are essentially two versions of the same material, and are quieter and less dramatic. The outer movements are symmetrical, and share both pitch and rhythmic materials. Accordingly, I see the work as a ternary form, with the central movements forming a unit within the outer frame: A (Movement 1) B (Movements 2 & 3) A' (Movement 4). Harmonically, the work can be summarized by the two pitch-series which occur in the opening bars of Movement 1: the initial 12-note row, with a tonal center on F-sharp (measures 1-6), and the subsequent D-minor Dorian 7-note row (beginning in measure 14). Aspects of these materials occur in all four movements, but they are most strongly present in Movements 1 and 4. Note that the 12-note row is not subjected to the usual serial procedures, but instead is treated as a signifier and is left unchanged. Since the fourth movement takes up where the first movement leaves off, I can conceive of one interpretation of SINFONIA XVI as an evocation of Thoreau himself contemplating two of the brightest stars on a clear, cold night. Aldebaran is an orange, first-magnitude star, located in the constellation Taurus; Sirius, the Dog Star, is the brightest star in the sky, and is located in the constellation Canis Major. Thoreau interrupts his star-gazing to entertain some inward thoughts, waking dreams, as it were, then returns his gaze to the splendid night sky and all its treasures. Although many other interpretations of the material are possible, it is important to remember that the abstract materials of the piece -- pitch, rhythm, structure -- are what count the most.

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 Spring”) 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.

Sea Dreams was written in memory of the composer's wife, Jean. After an introduction, which is not heard again until the end of the piece, the music becomes a rondo allegro, and gradually builds to a big climax. At the very end there is an oblique reference to the Liebestod of Wagner's Tristan and Isolde.

Sea Dreams was originally a commission, in 2007, from an American University who wanted me to write a piece in memory of my first wife, Jean, who died in 2006.

The music draws on three of the pieces that I had written for Jean in the early days before we were married, namely two violin sonatas (she was a violinist) and the 'Serenade' Opus 22 one of my most popular pieces.

Ray Charles (1930-2004) was a multitalented and pioneering American pianist and soul singer who became very popular in the late fifties, and remained respected for his music in the decades that followed. By incorporating gospel, jazz, blues, and big band elements, he helped shape the sound of rhythm and blues, and brought a soulful sound to everything from country music to pop standards. Ray Charles embodied the American dream, starting out a poor, blind boy from the southern United States and becoming an international music phenomenon; his nickname was “the Genius” for a good reasonIn this arrangement for concert band, Peter Kleine Schaars presents five of the songs thatcontributed to Ray Charles’ fame: I Can’t Stop Loving You, Hit the Road Jack, Georgia on My Mind, Hallelujah I Love Her So, and Unchain My Heart.

Ray Charles (1930-2004) was een vernieuwend Amerikaans pianist en soulzanger die populair werd in de jaren vijftig en geliefd bleef in de decennia die volgden. Hij gaf mede vorm aan de sound van de rhythm & blues en hij gaf een soulachtigeklank aan alle muziek van country tot aan popstandards - waarin hij gospel, jazz, blues en bigband-elementen verwerkte. Dit arrangement bevat vijf van de songs die bijdroegen aan de roem van Ray Charles: I Can’t StopLoving You, Hit the Road Jack, Georgia on My Mind, Hallelujah I Love Her So en Unchain My Heart.

Ray Charles, dem Hollywood jüngst mit einer Oscar preisgekrönten Filmproduktion huldigte, ist die Verkörperung des amerikanischen Traums: Vom armen, blinden Jungen aus den Südstaaten wurde er zum internationalen musikalischen Phänomen; seinen Spitznamen Genie trug er völlig zu Recht. In dieser Bearbeitung für Blasorchester präsentiert Peter Kleine Schaars fünf der Lieder, die zu Ray Charles' Ruhm beitrugen.

RRay Charles (1930-2004) était un pianiste et un chanteur de soul américain l’esprit novateur et aux multiples talents. Il connut le succès dès la fin des années 1950 et son immense notoriété ne le quittera plus. En intégrant dans son jeu des éléments venus du gospel, du jazz, du blues et du big band, il a contribué la naissance et au développement du rhythm and blues et apporté une sonorité pleine de sensibilité tous les styles musicaux, de la musique country aux grands classiques de la musique pop. Ray Charles incarnait le rêve américain : musicien noir, aveugle, issu du milieu défavorisé du Sud des États-Unis, il accède au statut de phénomène musical dans le mondeentier. On ne l’a pas surnommé “the Genius” par hasard. Dans cet arrangement pour Orchestre d’Harmonie, Peter Kleine Schaars a rassemblé cinq titres emblématiques de Ray Charles : I Can’t Stop Loving You, Hit the Road Jack, Georgia on My Mind, Hallelujah I Love Her So et Unchain My Heart.

Ray Charles è un vero mito: cinque decenni di successi, una carriera eccezionale ricca di decine di successi che hanno fatto il giro del mondo diventando fonte di ispirazione per intere generazioni di giovani artisti. Soprannominato “The Genius”, questo pioniere del R&B e della soul music, cieco dall’et di sette anni, ha composto alcune delle canzoni memorabili della musica nera americana tra cui I Can’t Stop Loving You, Hit the Road Jack, Georgia on My Mind, Hallelujah I Love Her so e Unchain My Heart.

Composed by Harrie Janssen. Set (Score & Parts). Gobelin Music Publications #GOB 000915-010. Published by Gobelin Music Publications (BT.GOB-000915-010).

Based on the poems by German poet Carl Hauptmann (late Romanticism) and the English poet William Wordsworth (early Romanticism).

Carl Hauptmann was in poor health as a child, but highly intelligent. He studied philosophy, psychology and biology. In the latter he was admitted to the degree of doctor. His marriage provided financial independence, so that he could focus on his studies.
Hauptmann wrote various novels, plays, poetry and scientific works.

Night

Twilight floats above the valley's night
mists are hanging,
there's a whispering brook.
Now the covering veil is lifting quite:
come and look!
See the magicland before our gaze:
tall as dreams the silver mountains stand,
crossed by silent silver paths shining from a secret land.
Noble, pure, the dreaming country sleeps.
By the path the shadow black and hogh of a beach.
a wisp of a white smoke creeps to the dark'ning sky.
Where the valley is the darkest hued countless little lights shine silently.
O my soul!
Drink of solitude!



Carl Hauptmann



Wordsworth 'introduced' a new type of poetry, based on the speech of the common man. This was his answer to the poetry of the classicism which was bound by rigid rules. His definition of poetry was: the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings from emotions recollected in tranquility.

My heart leaps up when I behold a rainbow in the sky

My heart leaps up when I behold A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began.
So is it now I am a man.
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man.
And I could wish my days to be Bound each to each by natural piety.


William Wordsworth

In a truly poetic manner Harrie Janssen has transformed the contemplative thoughts of the poets into two compositions for Concert Band.

Two Symphonic Interludes is gebaseerd op gedichten van de Duitse dichter Carl Hauptmann (laat Romantiek) en de Engelse dichter William Wordsworth (vroeg Romantiek).

Carl Hauptmann had als kind een zeer zwakke gezondheidmaar was zeer intelligent. Hij studeerde Filosofie, Psychologie en Biologie. In het laatste vak promoveerde hij. Het huwelijk zorgde voor financiele onafhankelijkheid zodat hij zich kon richten op zijn verdere studie. Hauptmannschreef enkele romans, toneelstukken, poëzie en wetenschappelijke werken.

NIGHT - Carl Hauptmann

Twilight floats above the valley's night
mists are hanging,
there's a whispering brook.
Now thecovering veil is lifting quite:
come and look!
See the magic land before our gaze:
tall as dreams the silver mountains stand,
crossed by silent silver paths shining from a secret land.
Noble, pure, thedreaming country sleeps.
By the path the shadow black and hogh of a beech.
a wisp of a white smoke creeps to the dark'ning sky.
Where the valley is the darkest hued countless little lights shine silently.
O mysoul!
Drink of solitude!

Wordsworth 'introduceerde' een nieuw soort poëzie, gebaseerd op de taal van de gewone man. Het was een reactie op de aan strenge regels gebonden poëzie van het Classicisme. Zijn definitievan poëzie luidde: 'the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings from emotions recollected in tranquility'.

My heart leaps up when I behold a rainbow in the sky - William Wordsworth

My heart leaps up whenI behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began.
So is it now I am a man.
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man.
And I could wish my days to be

Night

Twilight floats above the valley's night
mists are hanging,

Now the covering veil is lifting quite:

Where the valley is the darkest hued countless little lights shine silently.
O my soul!
Drink of solitude!



Carl Hauptmann



Wordsworth 'introduced' a new type of poetry, based on the speech of the common man. This was his answer to the poetry of the classicism which was bound by rigid rules. His definition of poetry was: the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings from emotions recollected in tranquility.

My heart leaps up when I behold a rainbow in the sky

My heart leaps up when I behold A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began.
So is it now I am a man.
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man.
And I could wish my days to be Bound each to each by natural piety.


William Wordsworth

In a truly poetic manner Harrie Janssen has transformed the contemplative thoughts of the poets into two compositions for Concert Band.

Ray Charles (1930-2004) was a multitalented and pioneering American pianist and soul singer who became very popular in the late fifties, and remained respected for his music in the decades that followed. By incorporating gospel, jazz, blues, and big band elements, he helped shape the sound of rhythm and blues, and brought a soulful sound to everything from country music to pop standards. Ray Charles embodied the American dream, starting out a poor, blind boy from the southern United States and becoming an international music phenomenon; his nickname was “the Genius” for a good reasonIn this arrangement for concert band, Peter Kleine Schaars presents five of the songs thatcontributed to Ray Charles’ fame: I Can’t Stop Loving You, Hit the Road Jack, Georgia on My Mind, Hallelujah I Love Her So, and Unchain My Heart.

Ray Charles (1930-2004) was een vernieuwend Amerikaans pianist en soulzanger die populair werd in de jaren vijftig en geliefd bleef in de decennia die volgden. Hij gaf mede vorm aan de sound van de rhythm & blues en hij gaf een soulachtigeklank aan alle muziek van country tot aan popstandards - waarin hij gospel, jazz, blues en bigband-elementen verwerkte. Dit arrangement bevat vijf van de songs die bijdroegen aan de roem van Ray Charles: I Can’t StopLoving You, Hit the Road Jack, Georgia on My Mind, Hallelujah I Love Her So en Unchain My Heart.

In den fünfziger Jahren erlangte der Pianist und Soulsänger Ray Charles große, bis heute ungebrochene Popularität. In dieser Bearbeitung für Blasorchester präsentiert Peter Kleine Schaars fünf der Lieder, die wesentlich zu Ray Charles’ Ruhm beitrugen und auch heute noch ein hoch ansteckendes Soul-Fieber unter Musikern und Zuhörern auslösen können.

Ray Charles (1930-2004) était un pianiste et un chanteur de soul américain l’esprit novateur et aux multiples talents. Il connut le succès dès la fin des années 1950 et son immense notoriété ne le quittera plus. En intégrant dans son jeu des éléments venus du gospel, du jazz, du blues et du big band, il a contribué la naissance et au développement du rhythm and blues et apporté une sonorité pleine de sensibilité tous les styles musicaux, de la musique country aux grands classiques de la musique pop. Ray Charles incarnait le rêve américain : musicien noir, aveugle, issu du milieu défavorisé du Sud des États-Unis, il accède au statut de phénomène musical dans le mondeentier. On ne l’a pas surnommé “the Genius” par hasard. Dans cet arrangement pour Orchestre d’Harmonie, Peter Kleine Schaars a rassemblé cinq titres emblématiques de Ray Charles : I Can’t Stop Loving You, Hit the Road Jack, Georgia on My Mind, Hallelujah I Love Her So et Unchain My Heart.

Daydreamin g is a short, lighthearted tone poem with a very simple lyrical quality reflecting a behavior most of us exhibit from time to time. The melodic theme occurred to the composer as he was sitting in his studio looking out the window and doing what the title suggests he was doing. (2:15)

A lighthearted piece ideal for first-year concert programming!

Washington D.C. contains some of the worldâ??s most iconic monuments, memorials and statues. Philip Sparke has chosenthree of these as the inspiration for this piece: â??The Lincoln Memorialâ?? in the form of a Greek Doric temple in which the composer depicts the grandeur of this monument; â??The Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorialâ?? on which steps the iconic speech â??I havea dreamâ?? was given - the music is both reverential as well as powerful referring to Martin Luther Kingsâ?? speech; and the â??Encoreâ?? statue in memory of the world famousAfrican-American composer, pianist and bandleader Duke Ellington. In this finalmovement, Philip Sparke catches the virtuosic, energetic and unique dynamism of Ellingtonsâ?? music.

Three Washington Statues is geschreven in opdracht van de United States Army Band â??Pershingâ??s Ownâ?? en de leider van dit orkest, kolonel Thomas H. Palmatier. Washington D.C. is het decor van een aantal van de meest iconische monumenten,gedenktekens en standbeelden van de VS. Componist Philip Sparke heeft er drie uitgekozen als inspiratie voor dit werk: The Lincoln Memorial, in de vorm van een Griekse Dorische tempel, waarin de grandeur van het monument wordt verklankt; het MartinLuther King Jr. Memorial, het gebouw waar de iconische toespraak â??I have a dreamâ?? ooit weerklonk de sfeer is respectvol en eerbiedig, maar de muziek weerspiegelt tevens de karakteristiekekracht die ervan uitgaat; en het beeld â??Encoreâ?? vancomponist, pianist en bandleider Duke Ellington in dit laatste deel geeft Philip Sparke de virtuoze, energieke, unieke en dynamische stijl van Ellingtons muziek weer.

Three Washington Statues wurde von der United States Army Band Pershings Ownâ??, die von Oberst Thomas H. Palmatier geleitet wird, in Auftrag gegeben. Washington D.C. besitzt einige der weltberühmtesten Bauwerke, Denkmäler und Statuen. PhilipSparke hat drei von diesen als Inspiration für dieses Stück genommen. So beschreibt er die Erhabenheit des Lincoln Memorialâ??, das mit seinen dorischen Säulen in Form eines griechischen Tempels erbaut wurde. Das Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorialâ??erinnert an die legendäre Rede Martin Luther Kings I have a dreamâ?? (Ich habe einen Traumâ??). Die ehrfurchtsvolle und zugleich kraftvolle Musik ist ein Tribut an diese Rede. Die StatueEncoreâ?? erinnert an den weltbekannten afroamerikanischenKomponi sten, Pianisten und Bandleader Duke Ellington. In diesem letzten Satz fängt Philip Sparke die virtuose, energiegeladene und einzigartige Dynamik von Duke Ellingtons Musik ein.

With this composition in a rumba style, Peter Kleine Schaars invites us to enjoy a relaxed sailing trip in the waters of the Caribbean. The feeling of freedom on the boat is mirrored by an extensive melody surrounded by a palette of colourful harmonies the shades of the water while the clever percussion sets the course of the ship. Who wouldn’t dream of such an adventure? Although the musical themes and accompaniments have been constructed from combinations of rhythmic cells that occur less often, the composition sounds very natural and flowing. Assuming the rhythmic cells 1 to 8 are part of the basic skills of your band, in this composition, the accent rather lies on cells 9 to 13. The instrumentation is created in such a way that these ‘new cells’ occur in all parts, so that all musicians of the band become familiar with this rhythmic development.

Met deze compositie in rumbastijl neemt Peter Kleine Schaars ons voor een relaxte zeiltocht mee naar de Caribische wateren. Het vrije gevoel op de boot wordt weerspiegeld door een uitgestrekte melodie te midden van een palet van kleurrijke harmonieën de schakeringen van het water terwijl de uitgekiende percussie de rechte koers van het schip bepaalt. Wie droomt er nou niet van zo’n avontuur? Hoewel de muzikale thema’s en begeleidingen zijn opgebouwd uit combinaties van enkele minder vaak voorkomende ritmische cellen, klinkt de compositie heel natuurlijk en vloeiend. Ervan uitgaande dat de ritmische cellen 1 tot en met 8 tot de basisvaardigheden van uw orkest behoren, ligt in deze compositie de nadruk vooral op de cellen 9 tot en met 13. De instrumentatie is dusdanig dat deze ‘nieuwe cellen’ voorkomen in alle partijen, zodat alle musici van het orkest vertrouwd raken met deze ritmische ontwikkeling.

Mit dieser Komposition im Rumba-Stil lädt uns Peter Kleine Schaars zu einem entspannten Segeltörn in der Karibik ein. Das Gefühl der Freiheit an Bord spiegelt sich in einer ausgedehnten Melodie wider, die von einer Reihe farbiger Harmonien den Bewegungen des Wassers umrahmt wird, während das Schlagzeug geschickt den Kurs des Schiffes hält. Wer träumt nicht von einem solchen Abenteuer? Obwohl die musikalischen Themen und die Begleitung aus einer Kombination verschiedener Rhythmus-Einheiten bestehen, die nur vereinzelt vorkommen, klingt die Komposition sehr natürlich und fließend. Da die Rhythmus-Einheiten 1 bis 8 sicher zu den Grundfertigkeiten Ihres Ensembles gehören, liegt der Schwerpunkt dieser Komposition eher auf den Rhythmus-Einheiten 9 bis 13. Die Instrumentierung ist so angelegt, dass diese neuen Rhythmus-Einheiten“ in allen Stimmenvorkommen, sodass alle Orchestermitglieder mit diesen Rhythmen vertraut gemacht werden.

Avec cette composition de style rumba, Peter Kleine Schaars nous invite un voyage décontracté en bateau sur les eaux des Cara bes. Le sentiment de liberté qu’offre le voilier est dépeint par une ample mélodie dans une palette d’harmonies colorées les teintes de l’eau , tandis que d’habilles percussions tiennent le cap. Qui ne rêverait pas d’une telle aventure ? Bien que les thèmes et accompagnements musicaux aient été élaborés partir de combinaisons de cellules rythmiques qui se rencontrent moins souvent, les sonorités de l’œuvre sont très naturelles et fluides. En présumant que les cellules rythmiques 1 8 fassent partie des compétences de base de votre orchestre, l’accent se trouve plutôt sur les cellules 9 13. L’instrumentation est arrangée de manière ce que ces « nouvelles cellules » se trouvent dans toutes les parties, afin que tous les membres de l’orchestre se familiarisent avec cette évolution rythmique.

The poignant lament “Mo Chile Mear” (My Gallant Hero) was authored after the defeat of the Scots and their Celtic allies at the Battle of Culloden in 1746, ending dreams of independence from English rule. Michael's emotional setting opens with a flute solo then builds gradually as layers of instrumental groups are added. The piece shifts to a lilting 6/8 style, propelled by the percussion section, and culminates in a majestic statement by the entire ensemble.
