This is a wonderful way to feature the lyrical playing of your beginning clarinet section. A simple accompaniment in 3/4 provides a nice background for the beautiful melody presented by the clarinets. Plenty of cues are provided, as well as ample amounts of rest, in each part. An excellent choice to teach phrasing, and show off the lyrical abilities of your band. (2:00).

A beginning band piece limited to a 6-note range, Rite of Passage will have your band playing together in very little time. Utilizing smaller chamber sections as well as the full band, this is an excellent teaching piece. With no clarinets over the break and no trumpets higher than a written A, this is a very easy Grade 1 concert march. (2:00).

At first lush and mysterious, then light and uplifting, The Voyage begins. Newcomer George Sweet brings us some invigorating ideas and harmonic treatments, as well as shifting hythmic feels from 4/4 to 3/4 time. There is some great interplay between various sections of the band that changes from light woodwind sounds to strong brass interjections. George is a composer to watch in the years to come.

Black light is defined as infrared or ultraviolet light which is invisible to the naked eye. The idea of an entire spectra existing out of the range of human perception was a large influencing factor for George Sweet in the composition of this piece. Richly scored for the modern concert band, Black Light is written in a post-minimalist style and is also heavily influenced by the work of American composers Steve Reich, John Adams, and Philip Glass.

Take care to maintain equal balance among the different “moving parts” so that they blend to create a solid whole both here and throughout the piece. The primary thematic material is stated by the trumpets and horns at m. 12. This material is the basis for much of the harmonic and thematic material that follows. A slightly varied statement of the main theme is presented again at m. 26 with a different type of motor accompaniment. This leads to a B-section at m. 44, which is a bold fanfare-like presentation of the main material. Another series of variations on the main theme begins at m. 50 and incorporates many different textural and harmonic ideas in the accompaniment. Once again, be careful to not let any one “moving part” overwhelm another and keep the texture evenly balanced.  A second, broader presentation of the B-section occurs at m. 90 and leads to a subdued C-section at m. 100 with new melodic material presented in the trumpet. A whimsical march-like section pushes to the return of the introductory motor material at m. 131. A final heroic presentation of the main thematic material results in a somewhat ambiguous coda, which brings the piece to a dramatic conclusion.

For La Belle Héléne Jacques Offenbach was inspired by Greek mythology. The plot is based on the story of Helen of Troy, but was turned into a satire on French high society of the 19th century. The overture of La Belle Héléne was-andis-very popular. Offenbach combined within it a series of arias and choral passages from the operetta.

Voor La Belle Héléne putte Offenbach uit de Griekse mythologie. Het verhaal draait om Helena van Troje, maar is als een satire op de elite verplaatst naar het Frankrijk van halverwege de 19e eeuw. De ouverture van La Belle Hééne -waarin Offenbach een aantal arias en koren uit de operette heeft samengevoegd - is nog altijd zeer succesvol.

Für La Belle Héléne bediente sich Jacques Offenbach der griechischen Mythologie. Die Handlung beruht auf Helena von Troja, wurde aber in eine Satire auf die höhere französische Gesellschaft des 19. Jahrhunderts verwandelt. Die Ouvertüre vonLa Belle Héléne war und ist sehr erfolgreich. Offenbach kombinierte darin eine Reihe von Arien und Chorstellen aus der Operette.

Jacques Offenbach sest inspiré de la mythologie grecque pour composer La Belle Héléne, dont le livret brosse lhistoire dHéléne de Troie. Mais parodiant lune des légendes grecques des plus illustres, cette opérette se veut être une satiresur lélite de lépoque. Innovant dans lécriture, Offenbach glissa dans lOuverture plusieurs arias et choeurs repris ensuite dans lun ou lautre acte de lopérette, afin den offrir un avant-go t lauditoire. Une transcription fidéle, réaliséepar Wil van der Beek.

Per comporre La Belle Hélène Jacques Offenbach si rifece alla mitologia greca. La trama si basa su Elena di Troia e venne trasformata in una satira per l’alta societ francese del XIX secolo. L’ouverture di La Belle Hélène ebbe ed hatuttora molto successo. Offenbach vi ha inserito una serie di arie e punti corali dell’operetta.

Composed by Derek Bourgeois. Band Music. Score and parts. Duration 17:40. Published by G & M Brand Music Publishers (CN.R10193).

With inspiration taken from composers Maurice Ravel, Arthur Benjamin and Charles Ives, Bourgeois take s a tongue-in-cheek approach to this challenging 3-movement work. While the work is infused with humor throughout, it still showcases his mastery of the wind band idiom.

In 1972, I wrote a Sonata for Two Pianos for two friends who were piano teachers at Wellington College. When in 1995 I was asked to write a work for wind band, I returned to this Sonata and have re-arranged and in the new version renamed it Fantasy Triptych. There are three movements: 1. Le Tombeau d'Arthur Benjamin Ravel wrote 'Le Tombeau de Couperin,' Arthur Benjamin wrote 'Le Tombeau de Ravel' and so the temptation to write 'Le Tombeau d'Arthur Benjamin' was overwhelming. At the end of the movement there is an oblique reference to Benjamin's own 'Jamaican Rumba' which accompanies a quote from an old Spanish folk song 'Loro, enciende el hervidor de agua.' 2. Mr. Bolt goes for a ride in his motor car, and Monsieur Ravel turns in his grave. The movement is dedicated to an old friend, Geoffrey Bolt, who adores the music of Ravel. but at the time of writing was learning to drive. He always described his vehicle as a motor car. To describe him as an impatient motorist would be a gross understatement. The refined suavity of Ravel's music was in complete contrast to these early manifestations of road rage, hence the central angry outburst. 3. The War March of the Ostriches The music of Charles Ives was fascinating me at the time of writing this movement and some of the influence has rubbed off in this rondo-like march. At the end there is a quote from the very beginning of the first movement. The title was inspired by the amusing antics of a group of ostriches during a visit to Bristol Zoo.

Be sure to pay attention to the accents in the trumpet, xylophone and snare drum lining up with the accents played by the rest of the ensemble. At m. 55, the xylophone should ring out and should be played with intention.

MARS (135X180) inches.

A mirage is an illusion, something without substance that does not really exist. Although not real, its unattainable nature is perfect for musical inspiration. Composer Jacob de Haan was strolling through a picturesque forest of the Dutch Gelderland when he thought he saw a body of water. While there was no water, its mere image created waves that can be relived in De Haan’s original composition, Mirage.

Mirage is het Engelse synoniem voor ‘Fata Morgana‘. De creatieve aanleiding voor deze compositie was dan ook het verhaal van een wandelaar die in een boslandschap in Gelderland water denkt te zien. Het in het triodeel deelsgezongen ‘wandelthema� � brengt de vreugde die de toeschouwer aan dit natuurverschijnsel beleeft bijzonder goed tot uitdrukking.

Mirag e“ ist ein englisches Synonym für Fata Morgana“. Als kreativer Anstoß für diese Komposition diente Jacob de Haan ein Spaziergänger, der durch eine Waldlandschaft im holländischen Gelderland geht und dabei glaubt, ein Gewässer zu sehen. Das im Trio teilweise gesungene Spaziergangs“-Thema bringt die Freude an diesem Naturerlebnis besonders gut zum Ausdruck.

« Fata Morgana » est le nom donné un phénomène de mirage, et que l'on attribuait la fée Morgane. Du mirage, nous passons aux notes joyeuses d’une étrange promenade en forêt où la lumière donne la sensation de l’existence d’une nappe d’eau au pied d’un arbre. Mirage ou réalité ? vous de le découvrir. Ce qui est s r, c’est que le Thème de la promenade (Trio) est partiellement chanté.

Una sorta di miraggio ha ispirato Jacob de Haan a comporre questo brano, prendendo spunto appunto da un “miraggio” di uno specchio d’acqua che gli si è presentato durante una passeggiata in una foresta in Olanda. Il tema della “passeggiata” parzialmente cantato nel trio, enfatizza gli spettacoli che la natura ci offre.

Quirks†”a word defined as a sudden sharp turn or an unpredictable peculiarity of behavior or action—demonstrate s the capricious nature of the title in its musical character. The music vacillates between fast and slow, happy and sad, extroverted and introverted, and just never goes where you expect. There is plenty of interplay between winds and percussion as the four and three notes of the main motive are tossed about the many instrumental colors. This is a tour-de-force, destined to become a band standard for more advanced bands. You must give this a careful listen.

English.

This three-movement programmatic work is based on various constellations and their Greek mythologies. Movements include Orion (The Hunter), Draco (The Dragon), and Pegasus (The Winged Horse). The opening movement paints a picture of the night sky before introducing the mighty Orion. The second movement depicts the fiery dragon and its fierce triple row of teeth. (An optional lion's roar enhances the movement.) The final movement takes listeners on a flight with Pegasus, beginning with a fast gallop on the ground before the magnificent animal takes flight. The movements can be performed separately or as a whole. Absolutely stunning!

You'll be surprised to know that this great sounding work uses only six notes in all instruments, with the exception of the clarinets, which also use a low written B to involve the right hand. The piece has a Renaissance quality to it and includes a middle processional theme (at the same tempo) to work on legato playing. Optional parts are included for clarinet 2 and trumpet 2. There is something for everyone in this dynamic addition to the repertoire!
