This work is a close-up of the encounters and relationships of trust between people, following the idea that friendship lasts forever.” After the passing of Satoshi Yagisawa’s close friend and work partner, Tsutomu Murata, a designer of Neo Create in August 2020, the composer began work on this piece. Murata performed music for audiences primarily as a leader and conductor of Kurume City Brass, a group which is active in Fukuoka Prefecture in Japan. Eternal Frienship depicts a five-minute chorale which explores “how music can convey that a close friend is indispensable to you, more broadly, everyone to someone,” much like how Murata conveyed the appeal of music to his audiences. Under the direction of the composer himself, the work had its world premiere and was recorded with the Kobe College Wind Orchestra.

Dit werk werpt een blik op fijne ontmoetingen en vertrouwelijke relaties tussen mensen en gaat uit van het idee dat vriendschap voor altijd is. Nadat Yagisawa’s goede vriend en collega Tsutomu Murata, een van de ontwerpers van Neo Create, in augustus 2020 overleed, begon hij aan deze compositie te werken. Murata musiceerde vooral als muzikaal leider en dirigent van Kurume City Brass, een ensemble dat actief is in de Japanse prefectuur Fukuoka. Eternal Frienship is een vijf minuten durend koraal waarin wordt verkend hoe muziek kan verklanken dat een goede vriendschap onmisbaar voor je is en hoe dit principe in bredere zin voor alle mensen geldt. Op een vergelijkbare manier wist Murata de betekenis van muziek op zijn publiek over te brengen. Het werk is onder leiding van de componist zelf in première gebracht en werd opgenomen door het Kobe College Wind Orchestra.

Dieses Werk betrachtet Begegnungen und Vertrauensbeziehungen zwischen Menschen, die überzeugt davon sind, dass Freundschaft ewig hält“. Nach dem Tod von Satoshi Yagisawas engem Freund und Kollegen Tsutomu Murata, einem Designer von Neo Create, im August 2020 begann der Komponist mit der Arbeit an diesem Stück. Murata trat hauptsächlich als Leiter und Dirigent von Kurume City Brass, einem Blasorchester in der Präfektur Fukuoka in Japan, in Erscheinung. Eternal Frienship besteht aus einem fünfminütigen Choral, der beschreibt, wie Musik verdeutlichen kann, dass ein enger Freund für jeden unverzichtbar ist“ eben genauso, wie auch Murata seinem Publikum die Anziehungskraft der Musik vermittelt hat. Das Werk wurde unter der Leitung des Komponisten mit dem Kobe College Wind Orchestra uraufgeführt und aufgenommen.

Cette œuvre examine les rencontres et rapports de confiance entre les gens, selon l’idée que « l’amitié est éternelle ». Satoshi Yagisawa commença écrire cette pièce la suite du décès, en ao t 2020, de son associé et ami proche, Tsutomu Murata, un concepteur de Neo Create. Murata se produisait en public principalement en tant que directeur et chef d’orchestre de Kurume City Brass, un ensemble actif dans la préfecture de Fukuoka, au Japon. Eternal Frienship prend la forme d’un choral de cinq minutes qui explore « comment la musique peut exprimer l’idée qu’il est indispensable d’avoir un ami proche et, plus largement, que l’on ne peut vivre sans les autres ». Murata savait certainement communiquer l’attrait de la musique son public. Eternal Frienship a été créée et enregistrée par l’Harmonie du collège de Kobe (Japon) sous la direction du compositeur lui-même.

The Loco-motion was the hippest dance routine to hit the clubs in the 1960s. In contrast to many songwriters who write songs after a trend has taken off , singer/songwriter partners and couple Gerry Goffi n and Carole King wrote the song that kicked off the entire dancesong craze. Little Eva was the fi rst of several artists to reach the top of the US charts with this hit in 1962. Let your band rise to new heights with Hideaki Miura’s funky arrangement!

The Loco-motion was een bijzonder geliefde manier van dansen in de jaren zestig. Gerry Goffin en Carole King waren met hun gelijknamige hit de trendsetter van deze muziek- en dansstijl. Dit in tegenstelling tot wat veel songwritersdoen: pas bepaalde muziek schrijven als het al een trend is. De eerste die het nummer vertolkte was Little Eva en zij scoorde er een nummer één hit mee. Hierna werd de song nog vaak en succesvol gecoverd. En nu is er dusook een lekker vlotte versie voor harmonieorkest van Hideaki Miura.

The Loco-motion war ein Modetanz in den 1960er-Jahren. Entgegen der weit verbreiteten Annahme sprang aber nicht das Songwriter-Ehepaar Gerry Goffin und Carole King mit ihrem gleichnamigen Hit auf diesen Zug auf, sondern sie waren tatsächlich diejenigen, die mit dem Titel den Trend erst auslösten. Nach dem Nr. 1-Erfolg der ersten Interpretin Little Eva wurde der Song oft und erfolgreich gecovert und liegt nun in einer flotten Blasorchesterbearbeitung von Hideaki Miura vor.

Au début des années 1960, le couple d’auteurs succès, Gerry Goffin et Carole King, compose la chanson, The Loco-motion, qui sera l’origine d’un phénomène qui va balayer tous les pays, le locomotion, un twist en ligne avec des mouvements de bras imitant le va-etvient des bielles de locomotives vapeur. Immortalisée aux États-Unis par Little Eva, la chanson sera reprise en France par Henri Salvador, puis par Sylvie Vartan, l’égérie des années yé-yé. Hideaki Miura en a réalisé un arrangement pour Orchestre d’Harmonie, aussi twistant que la version originale.

The Loco-motion è stato un ballo di moda negli anni ’60. Al contrario di molti autori che scrivono canzoni utilizzando trend gi esistenti, la coppia Gerry Goffin e Carol King fu l’artefi ce di questo ballo di successo. La prima interprete della canzone fu Little Eva che nell’ormai lontano 1962 raggiunse la vetta delle canzoni più vendute. Un tuff o nel passato con questo arrangiamento molto riuscito fi rmato Hideaki Miura.

This work was commissioned by the All Japan Band Association (Chiba Prefecture) to commemorate their 45th anniversary. The composer, Satoshi Yagisawa, was requested to write a march that was easy enough for junior high school students to play, and was based on the folk songs in Chiba Prefecture. After several months of research the composer finally discovered Boushu Oiwake, a lyrical folk song sung with the Japanese bamboo flute and shamisen (three-stringed Japanese instrument). After the composition process has been completed we have here a fantastic triumphant march sure to ?raise the roof? at any performance.

Dit werk is gebaseerd op de volksmuziek uit de Chiba-prefectuur. Aanvankelijk was het erg moeilijk om een geschikt volkslied te vinden voor een mars, maar na een aantal maanden zoeken ontdekte de componist Boushu Oiwake, eenlyrisch volkslied voor zang, de Japanse bamboefluit en de shamisen (een Japans instrument met drie snaren). Hij bouwde de mars op volgens zijn eigen muzikale ideeën met als basis het betreffende volkslied. De expressie varieert,afhankelijk van de tempi en de interpretaties van passages. Geef uw orkest de mogelijkheid om een unieke uitvoering van March-Bou-Shu te geven.

Der japanische Komponist Satoshi Yagisawa kreierte March-Bou- Shu in seiner eigenen Tonsprache, unter Verwendung eines Volksliedes aus seiner Heimat, dem Regierungsbezirk Chiba. Die Aufführung des Stückes gewinnt durch die Auslotung der ursprünglichen Spielweise des Liedes. Die verschiedenen Spielweisen variieren je nach Tempo und Interpretation einzelner Passagen und erlauben Ihrem Blasorchester ganz individuelle Spielweisen zu entwickeln.

Trouver une mélodie traditionnelle qui puisse convenir au style d’une marche ne fut pas chose facile. Après plusieurs mois de recherches, le compositeur découvre finalement la mélodie Boushu Oiwake, un chant traditionnel extrêmement mélodieux accompagné par une fl te en bambou et un shamisen (luth trois cordes). March-Bou-Shu trouve son sens dans l’expression musicale propre au compositeur. Votre interprétation trouvera son originalité dans le choix des tempi et l’expressivité des passages.

Non è facile trovare una melodia tradizionale adatta allo stile di una marcia. Dopo parecchi mesi di ricerca, il compositore scopre la melodia Boushu Oiwake, un canto tradizionale molto melodioso accompagnato da un flauto in bambu e da un shamisen (liuto a tre corde). March-Bou-Shu riflette lo stile musicale caratteristico del compositore. La scelta dei tempi e l’espressivit dei passaggi da parte degli esecutori dar un’impronta originale alla composizione.

This Is It is the title track from the film of the same name that first appeared after the death of Michael Jackson. The title, that should have represented the climax of a great career, has now taken on a second, unintentionally sadder meaning. In a brand new arrangement for wind orchestra by Hideaki Miura, the last hit of the ‘King of Pop’ is a must for your entertaining repertoire!

This Is It is de titelsong van de gelijknamige film die pas na de dood van Michael Jackson werd uitgebracht. De titel was eigenlijk bedoeld als afsluiting van een grootse carrière van de grote Michael Jackson. Onbedoeld heeft het door zijn vroegtijdige dood een treurige bijbetekenis gekregen. De laatste hit van de King of Pop geven wij nu uit in een gloednieuwe bewerking voor orkest. Een must-have voor op uw amusementsrepertoire!

This Is It ist das Titellied zum gleichnamigen Film, der erst nach dem Tod von Michael Jackson veröffentlicht wurde.

This Is It è il titolo della canzone che accompagna l’omonimo documentario del 2009, in gran parte realizzato utilizzando il materiale girato da Michael Jackson nei giorni immediatamente precedenti il suo decesso, mentre preparava le coreografie per il tour. Un titolo, che dopo la tragica morte del grande artista, suonò come una premonizione. L’arrangiamento di Hideaki Miura è un must del repertorio di musica da intrattenimento.

This Is It is the title track from the film of the same name that first appeared after the death of Michael Jackson. The title, that should have represented the climax of a great career, has now taken on a second, unintentionally sadder meaning. In a brand new arrangement for wind orchestra by Hideaki Miura, the last hit of the ‘King of Pop’ is a must for your entertaining repertoire!

This Is It is de titelsong van de gelijknamige film die pas na de dood van Michael Jackson werd uitgebracht. De titel was eigenlijk bedoeld als afsluiting van een grootse carrière van de grote Michael Jackson. Onbedoeld heeft het door zijn vroegtijdige dood een treurige bijbetekenis gekregen. De laatste hit van de King of Pop geven wij nu uit in een gloednieuwe bewerking voor orkest. Een must-have voor op uw amusementsrepertoire!

This Is It ist das Titellied zum gleichnamigen Film, der erst nach dem Tod von Michael Jackson veröffentlicht wurde. Der Titel Das war’s“, der eigentlich den Abschluss einer großartigen Karriere markieren sollte, hat nun ungewollt eine zweite, traurige Bedeutung bekommen. Der letzte Hit des King of Pop“ für Blasorchester von Hideaki Miura ist ein Muss für Ihr unterhaltsames Repertoire!

This Is It est le titre principal du film éponyme qui est sorti après la mort de Michael Jackson. Ce titre, qui aurait d représenter l’apogée d’une grande carrière, a maintenant pris une autre signification beaucoup plus triste. Dans un tout nouvel arrangement de Hideaki Miura pour orchestre d’harmonie, le dernier succès du «roi de la pop» est indispensable votre répertoire !

This Is It è il titolo della canzone che accompagna l’omonimo documentario del 2009, in gran parte realizzato utilizzando il materiale girato da Michael Jackson nei giorni immediatamente precedenti il suo decesso, mentre preparava le coreografie per il tour. Un titolo, che dopo la tragica morte del grande artista, suonò come una premonizione. L’arrangiamento di Hideaki Miura è un must del repertorio di musica da intrattenimento.

Composed by Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky. Arranged by Tohru Takahashi. The Great Classics. Concert Piece. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 2004. De Haske Publications #DHP 1043752-040. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-1043752-040).

English-German-French- Dutch.

Composer Modest Moussorgsky (1839-1881) came from the prosperous environment of Russian nobility. In 1865, after his officer’s education, he joined the guard’s regiment in St. Petersburg. Here he met a number of well-known colleague-composers, including Balakirev, Cui, Rimsky- Korsakov and Borodin. They strived to develop a “classical style” of composing while at the same time retaining a strong Russian influence. His opera Boris Godunov tells the tale of Boris, who with the support of the people, declared himself Tsar, but totally fell short of the role. The opera became popular in the re-orchestrated version produced by Rimsky-Korsakov in 1896. Tohru Takahashi has usedthe beautiful musical themes of this opera in Selections from Boris Godunov - a captivating work for concert band.

Moussorgsky� ��s opera Boris Godunov - gebaseerd op het gelijknamige drama van Aleksandr Pushkin (waarin Boris Godunov zichzelf met steun van het volk uitroept tot tsaar, maar in deze rol compleet tekortschiet) - werd populairin de bewerking die Rimsky-Korsakov in 1896 maakte. De oorspronkelijke partituur van Moussorgsky staat echter vol originele vondsten en vooruitstrevende harmonische, melodische en instrumentale details. Tohru Takahashi gebruiktede prachtige muzikale thematiek van deze opera in Selections from Boris Godunov - een boeiend werk voor harmonieorkest.

Se in Meisterwerk, die Oper Boris Godunow, schrieb Mussorgski auf der Grundlage des gleichnamigen Dramas von Alexander Puschkin. In diesem Stück erklärt sich Boris Godunow mit Unterstützung des Volkes selbst zum Zaren, versagt aber kläglich in dieser Rolle. Das Werk ist voll von einzigartigen Ideen und damals sehr innovativen harmonischen, melodischen und instrumentalen Details. Tohru Takahashi verwendete in Selections from Boris Godunov die wunderschönen musikalischen Themen der Oper - ein bezauberndes Werk für Blasorchester.

Com positeur essentiellement autodidacte, Modest Moussorgski (1839-1881) descend d’une famille aisée de la noblesse russe. Son chef-d’oeuvre lyrique Boris Godounov est basé sur la tragédie d’Alexandre Pouchkine, dans laquelle Boris Godounov, tsar autoproclamé et soutenu par le peuple faillit son rôle. En 1896, l’opéra connaît le succès dans une version retouchée par Rimski-Korsakov. La version originale de Moussorgski contient cependant des idées uniques, des détails harmoniques, mélodiques et instrumentaux innovateurs. Pour réaliser cette pièce captivante pour Orchestre d’Harmonie, Tohru Takahashi a rassemblé les superbes thèmes musicaux de l’opéra.

Compositore essenzialmente autodidatta, Modest Mussorgski (1839-1881) discende da una famiglia agiata della nobilt russa. Il suo capolavoro lirico, Boris Godunov, si basa sulla tragedia di Alexander Puschkin, nella quale Boris Godunov, proclamatosi zar e sostenuto dal popolo, fallisce nel suo ruolo. Nel 1896, l’opera conosce il successo in una versione ritoccata da Rimski Korsakov. La versione originale di Mussorgski contiene idee uniche, dettagli armonici, melodici e strumenti innovativi. Per trascrivere questo brano per banda, Tohru Takahashi ha raccolto i superlativi temi musicali dell’opera.

TINY TATTOO was written after the composer visited a “treetop” bistro at Big Sur, California. The restaurant is named Nepenthe, after an ancient Greek elixir fabled to relieve any and all sorrows. This spot-on-the-cliff made such an impression on Pann that musical ideas immediately started flowing, giving rise to the opening hook of this 5-minute orchestral work. Written as a gift to conductor Alastair Willis, TINY TATTOO is a highly catchy and colorful work with exciting percussion parts, equally suitable for advanced student orchestras, professional ensembles, and everything in between.
TINY TATTOO (2017) was written after visiting a “treetop” bistro at Big Sur, California with my wife after driving the entire day up from L.A. The restaurant is called “Nepenthe,” named after an ancient Greek elixir fabled to relieve one from any and all sorrows. This spot-on-the-cliff made such an impression on me (in my exhausted state) that I immediately began humming the opening minimal hook in what is now this piece.

Tarta n Tapestries is an original piece that sets out to emulate Scottish folk music. Composer Larry Clark has created a concert overture in triple meter to capture the essence of music from Scotland. After a lilting first section,  lush and beautiful moments weave a tapestry of sounds with the lyrical, middle section of the piece. There is an optional part for bagpipes, and an optional ending should you chose to use this instrument as part of the piece. Alert your contest music committee about this strong new piece for advancing groups.
Tartan Tapestries was commissioned by Friends of the Arts for the Saint Andrew's School Band in Boca Raton, Florida. The band program at Saint Andrew’s School is under the direction of Andrea Wolgin. The premiere took place on November 29, 2017.When I was asked by their conductor Ms. Wolgin to write a piece for the Saint Andrew’s School, I asked her what kind of involvement she wanted the students to have in the process. We discussed several options for having the students involved in the process of creating with the type of piece they wanted.  We set up a “Skype” meeting with members of the band to discuss the piece. During this discussion, the consensus of the students was that they wanted a piece depicting the Scottish influence to the school. They also wanted a piece that would challenge all sections of the band and to include bagpipes if possible. I asked that the students be involved in helping to name the piece once it was completed, for which they agreed and were very helpful. Armed with this information, I set out to compose a piece for them, and Tartan Tapestries is the result.The piece begins with a fanfare gesture based upon rhythms and harmonies that appear throughout the piece. I chose the lilting triple feel to the piece, to bring about the Scottish flavor. I wanted the fanfare to be bardic sounding, to depict the strength of the Scottish people and for the piece to have a dynamic opening. The fanfare contains material that alludes to the main theme and with a bit of dissonance and tension that is resolved in the main body of the piece.The main theme is a lilting original melody, but one that I hope with have the essence of Scottish folk songs. The main idea is followed by a more modal and dark sounding secondary theme, first stated in the horns. This material is later used in the development section of the piece. The main theme returns several times, with different and varied orchestrations and harmonic treatments. This is followed by a short transition leading to the more lyrical and slower second section of the piece. A transparent presentation of the lyrical theme, which is based on aspects of the main theme, is presented first by a solo flute. This section is a nod to famous composer Malcom Arnold’s wonderful works for orchestra in its style and orchestration. After a transition or bridge section with a solo euphonium, the piece builds to a dramatic climax of the lyrical theme by the full band. This subsides to a return of the solo flute to end this second section of the piece, followed by a transition back the main theme.The solo bagpipes play a central role in the return of the main theme and take center stage after being heard in the distance earlier in the work. The piece brings back a shortened version of the darker secondary theme, followed by a hint of the fanfare material that builds to one last statement of the main theme by the full band, before leading to a dramatic coda to complete the work.It has been my pleasure to have been given the opportunity to compose this piece for the Saint Andrew’s School Band! I thank Andrea Wolgin for making it happen, and I hope that you enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed bringing the piece to life.–Larry ClarkLakeland, Florida 2017.

The classic holiday favorite by Al Stillman and Robert Allen is presented here in a playable arrangement for concert band. It is my hope that this arrangement will be equally satisfying for the young band with ample rehearsal time or for the more mature band that wants a holiday favorite they can perform with limited rehearsal. The piece is presented first in a lush chorale format with the use of extended jazz harmonies. Special care should be given to balancing and tuning the inner voices for the most pleasant sound. After the lush opening on the famous refrain the arrangement moves to the bridge in an up-tempo swing. In this section the percussion is written to imitate a drum set, but if a set is available it may be preferable to use it in order to get the right feel. Following the bridge is another statement of the refrain followed by a hymn-style section by the reeds with jazz interjections by the brass straight out of the famous Perry Como rendition. This is followed by a D.S. to the bridge, one more refrain and then a short coda It has been my pleasure to have the opportunity to write this arrangement. I hope you and your students enjoy it and find it useful for your program. -LARRY CLARK New York, NY 2003.

Composed by Hayato Hirose. De Haske Concert Band. Concert Piece. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 2011. De Haske Publications #1114967010. Published by De Haske Publications (HL.44011136).

UPC: 884088672614. 9.5x13.5x1.6 inches. English-German-French-Dut ch-Japanese.

Hayato Hirose composed this dramatic piece based on the great journey of Marco Polo, Italian traveller and one of the first Europeans ever to visit Asia. In the 13th century, he made a long journey from Venice to Mongolia with his father. After his arrival, he was sent to the various regions in Asia by the Mongolian government to take notes about the culture, the people, and the way of life in those areas. Celebrate the life of this great explorer with this dynamic new concert work.

Captain Marco is het eerste werk van Hayato Hirose voor blaasorkest. Hij componeerde het in 1998. Met dit dramatische werk smeedt de Japanse Hirose een muzikale band tussen Europa en Azie, waarbij de grote zeevaarder Marco Polo deverbindende factor is. Marco Polo was niet alleen een van de eerste grote ontdekkingsreizigers ooit, hij hield ook een logboek bij van zijn avonturen. In zijn tijd deed het letterlijk een boekje open over het verre Oosten. Nog steedsspreekt deze roemruchte kapitein tot de verbeelding. In ieder geval tot die van de componist, die er een mooie compositie aan wijdde...

Capta in Marco ist Hayato Hiroses erstes Werk für Blasorchester und wurde im Jahr 1998 komponiert. In diesem dramatischen Werk knüpft der Japaner Hirose ein musikalisches Band zwischen Europa und Asien, indem er das Leben des berühmten Handelsreisenden Marco Polo vertont. Kapitan Marco war nicht nur einer der ersten grossen Seefahrer und Entdecker überhaupt, sondern er hinterliess auch seine Erfahrungen in einem Buch, das den Europaern damals das ferne Asien erklarte und offensichtlich auch heute noch sehr inspirierend ist.

Captain Marco est la premiere oeuvre pour orchestre d'harmonie d'Hayato Hirose, ecrite en 1998. Le compositeur nous emmene sur les traces du celebre aventurier et marchand venitien, Marco Polo, qui fut l'un des premiers Europeens a se rendre en Extreme-Orient. Hayato Hirose nous livre une oeuvre expressive, intense et epique.

Captain Marco, composta nel 1998, e la prima opera per banda di Hayato Hirose. Un brano espressivo ed intenso, omaggio a colui che ancora oggi e considerato uno dei piu grandi esploratori di tutti i tempi: Marco Polo.

At last the bass clarinet can shine in this major new solo work for bass clarinet and concert band. This composition begins with a rather mysterious opening passage with atmospheric sounds and effects. The soloist plays-preferably backstage- a number of fragments and melodic patterns, without actually starting the piece. After this somewhat hesitant introduction, a lively, cheerful allegro entitled Con Giocondita (with joy) bursts out. It isswarming with irregular meters, changing tempos, and polyrhythm, through which the listeners (and sometimes also the musicians) constantly get the feeling that they are being tossed around. The second movement brings rest andpeace making careful use of sound colours. The upbeat finale, titled Con Allegria (with cheerfulness), is the most significant movement for the soloist. This is a challenging piece of music that demands great virtuosity, but withthe correct performer it will be a real highpoint in any concert..

In een mysterieuze openingspassage zijn atmosferische klanken te horen. Dan barst er een vrolijk allegro los: Con Giocondita (met vreugde). Een intiemer tweede deel, Con Tristezza (met droefheid), brengt rust. Het orkestspeelt hier een belangrijke rol en laat allerlei klankkleuren horen in de dialoog met de solist. De onstuimige finale getiteld Con Allegria (met vrolijkheid) vraagt grote virtuositeit van de solist, het orkest doet opnieuwmeer dan alleen begeleiden. Na een korte cadens worden de drie voorafgaande thema’s in omgekeerde volgorde herhaald en een spannend slot beëindigt dit contrastrijke werk.

Freude, Traurigkeit und Fröhlichkeit sind die drei Stimmungen, die Jan Van der Roost in diesem Werk für Bassklarinette und Blasorchester in ebenso vielen Sätzen vertonte. Während die Freude in einem rhythmischen, energiereichen und lebhaften Allegro zum Ausdruck kommt, setzt der zweite, langsamere Satz lyrische und melodische Akzente. Das schnelle Finale ist eine große Herausforderung an den Solisten. Auch das Blasorchester spielt in diesem musikalisch erfinderischen Werk eine weit mehr als begleitende Rolle.

Tre Sentimenti (Trois sentiments) pour Clarinette Basse et Orchestre d’Harmonie est un carrefour inédit de sentiments contrastés (l’exubérance, la tristesse, l’allégresse) et d’idées musicales captivantes.
