The German composer Joseph Ignaz Schnabel (1767-1831) was a descendant of a musical family. During his lifetime he occupied several musical posts including Violinist, Organist, Concertmaster, Conductor, Music Teacher and managing director of the Royal Institute for Church Music. Schnabel composed masses, hymns, vespers, military music and a clarinet concerto.

During his lifetime, Heinrich Schaffer (1808-1874) was a famous singerand singing teacher. With his compositions for male-voice choir, hewas very influential in northern Germany. Nowadays, little is left ofthis man?s fame. Only his song Die Post im Walde is regularly performedwith much enjoyment by many men?s choirs. This beautiful song is nowavailable for trumpet and concert band.

Heinrich Schäffer (1808-1874) was een befaamd zanger en zangpedagoog. Met zijn composities voor mannenkoor was hij in Noord-Duitsland zeer invloedrijk, maar van zijn beroemdheid is nog maar weinig over. Alleen zijn lied Die Postim Walde is onsterfelijk, met name in de mannenkoorwereld. De charme van het lied ligt in het verhalende karakter ervan. Het beeld van een postiljon, bij nacht rijdend door een bos, nu en dan signalen spelend, denkend aan zijngeliefde… het wordt moeiteloos verklankt in Die Post im Walde.

Mit seinen Kompositionen, vornehmlich für Männerchor geschrieben, hatte der Sänger und Gesangslehrer Heinrich Schäffer großen Einfluss im norddeutschen Raum. Sein Lied Die Post im Walde wurde auch über die Grenzen dieser Region hinaus berühmt und wird heute noch gerne gesungen. Wil van der Beek machte das schöne Lied nun auch dem Blasorchester zugänglich.

Chanteur et pédagogue émérite, Heinrich Schäffer (1808-1874) a acquis une reconnaissance et une notoriété de son vivant. Il fut également chef de chœur du Hamburger Liedertafel, un chœur d’hommes hambourgeois. Ses œuvres pour voix d’hommes ont fait de lui un homme très influent en Allemagne du Nord. Aujourd’hui, il ne reste que très peu de traces de sa notoriété. Seule la chanson Die Post im Walde (Le Postillon dans les bois), composée sur un texte d’Otto Friedrich Gruppe - est parvenue résister aux vicissitudes du temps. Nombreux sont les chœurs d’hommes qui la chantent encore.L’attrait de cette chanson réside dans son caractère narratif. DiePost im Walde raconte l’histoire d’un postillon (cocher) qui la nuit, traverse la forêt au galop, sonne du cor et pense ceux qu’il aime.

For the teacher of instrumental music classes, individual differences among students are inevitable. Unfortunately, the lack of flexible materials frequently forces teachers to adopt a quasi-instructional procedure best described as lockstep, where all students in the class rehearse each exercise until the slow members of the class succeed or until the teacher gives up. The Individualized Instructor was designed with the expectation that students are different. With this method, high-, average-, and low-achieving students in a class are able to progress simultaneously at their own rate according to their interest and ability. In addition, the flexibility of the instructional format often allows twelve or more students to perform different musical material simultaneously, thereby eliminating the “follow the leader” approach to music learning. All study materials in the series are musical. Nonmusical exercises are excluded in favor of folk song literature, musical rounds, and musical ensembles. Furthermore, The Individualized Instructor encourages students to think about their music: to analyze unfamiliar material, generalize previously learned concepts and skills, and synthesize all elements into a musically proficient performance. In addition, this series develops many fundamentals (tonality, phrasing, tempo, and musical style) through the use of the singing voice. Singing best provides the “musical” experience that, subsequently, can be applied to the development of musically sensitive instrumental performance. Books 1, 2, and 3 and the supplementary books ensure that these fundamental ideas are carried well beyond the first year of instruction.

János Galli (1921-2006) was a conductor, composer, music teacher, a well-known and highly respected personality in Hungarian wind music life. As a music teacher he directed numerous string and wind ensembles and choirs, made hundreds of transcriptions for wind orchestras, and instrumented works for ensembles of all sizes and formations. The most important of his works are his series of volumes of marches, folksong arrangements and church music. He was excellent at instrumentation. For its fine sound and easy playability we recommend to youth wind bands and their conductors this work of his composed in memory of the king who founded the Hungarian state.

János Galli (1921-2006) Chorleiter, Komponist und Musiklehrer, war in den ungarischen Bläserkreisen eine bekannte und anerkannte Persönlichkeit. Als Musiklehrer leitete er zahlreiche Streich- und Bläserensembles und Chöre, fertigte mehrere hundert Transkriptionen für Bläserorchester an und instrumentierte Werke für verschieden große Orchester unterschiedlicher Besetzung. Von seinen eigenen Kompositionen sind die Märsche, Volksliedbearbeitungen und die kirchenmusikalische Heftreihe am bedeutendsten. Er war eine exzellente Arrangeur. Sein Gedenkstück an den Staatsgründerkönig, Hl. Stephan empfehlen wir den Jugendblasorchestern und ihren Leitern wegen seines guten Klangs undwegen seiner einfacher Spielbarkeit.

Who does not know the famous Te Deum Prelude by Marc-Antoine Charpentier (1634-1704)? This French composer studied both painting and composition in Italy. Returning to France, he took up the post of music master to the dauphin. He collaborated with Molière, working for the Théatre Francais until 1685. He then returned to court and was music director to the Princesse de Guise, composition teacher to the Duke d’Orleans and wrote music for the dauphin’s chapel. His Te Deum, of which the Prelude has become well known (particularly in Europe, where it is used as the Eurovision signature tune) is one of many pieces he wrote for important state and religious occasions.

De veelzijdige Franse componist Marc-Antoine Charpentier (1634-1704) schreef vele stukken voor belangrijke godsdienstige en staatsaangelegenheden. Zijn Te Deum Prelude is heel bekend geworden als Eurovisie-herkenningsmelo die.Dit arrangement is geschikt voor kleine bezettingen, grotere bezettingen kunnen (met veel effect) hout- en koperblazers contrasterend inzetten.

Marc-Ant oine Charpentier zählt zu den herausragendsten französischen Komponisten seiner Zeit. Sein Te Deum ist eines von vielen Stücken, die er für wichtige staatliche und religiöse Anlässe schrieb. Die Prelude aus Te Deum ist heute weithin als die Eurovisionsmelodie bekannt. Philip Sparkes Bearbeitung eignet sich auch für kleinere Besetzungen, größere Besetzungen können - sehr wirkungsvoll - kontrastiv Holz- und Blechbläser einsetzen. Ein bekanntes Stück eines großen Komponisten, das die jungen Musiker motivieren wird!

Marc-Antoine Charpentier (1634-1704) est le compositeur français le plus important des contemporains de Lully. Sa musique religieuse est particulièrement attrayante : il a composé de nombreux motets, messes et oratorios. En 1702, il compose une œuvre de circonstance, le Te Deum, dont le Prélude solennel et brillant deviendra célèbre comme indicatif de l’Eurovision.

Durin g his experience as a band conductor and teacher of wind orchestra conducting at university, Franco Cesarini has dealt with the topic of warm-ups very frequently. Throughout these long years of conducting he has had the opportunity to try many existing methods, evaluating their advantages and disadvantages. After a long time, he has decided to compile a collection of chorales for warm-ups, which are organized according to the criteria that he considers most effective. While working on his60 Warm-up Chorales for Concert Band, Franco Cesarini has always borne in mind that amateur musicians play for pleasure. He feels that it is extremely important that they have satisfaction at every moment of the rehearsal and not to start the rehearsal with needless “punishing” exercises. Nobody is really motivated to start playing with scales, long notes, or tricky rhythmical exercises. There is often a distinguished absentee in band rehearsals, namely music itself! Although this publication does not foresee a specific tempo for the chorales, they should often be performed rather slowly but without dragging. Dynamics are not indicated, so that the conductor has the opportunity to draw the attention of the musicians to his gestures and to make them react according to his indications. Timpani and bell parts have been added with the aim of not leaving the percussionists completely inactive during the warm-up phase, but can also be omitted. The chorales are written in four parts (SATB) and are also playable in smaller groups. The four voices can be played in different combinations of woodwinds or brass quartets or in mixed combinations. The collection includes ten chorales for the following keys: D flat major, A flat major, E flat major, B flat major, F major and C major. With his 60 Warm-up Chorales Franco Cesarini would like to convey the message to play the chorales in a musical way, thus raising the musicians’awareness of phrasing, the right interpretation of cadences, rubato and agogic. Above all, never do anything withoutputting the musical aspect in the foreground.
