Unlike most passion settings with choir, soloists and orchestra, this version of the Markus-Passion has been conceived for band, narrator and mezzo soprano and baritone (or alto). The lyrics from the Gospel According to Mark have been used in full, which makes this passion quite unique. If desired, the lyrics of the evangelist can be spoken in any language, to make the work more accessible to the audience. However, because of the rhythms involved, the sung parts should always be performed in German. This special work should be a truly overwhelming experience for your audience!

De meeste passies zijn geschreven voor koor, solisten en orkest, maar deze versie van de Markus-Passion is gecomponeerd voor blaasorkest, verteller, mezzosopraan en bariton (of alt). De tekst uit het evangelie volgens Marcus wordt door de componist integraal gebruikt, wat deze passie uniek maakt. Desgewenst kunnen de teksten van de evangelist in elke gewenste taal worden uitgesproken, om het werk toegankelijker te maken voor het publiek. De gezongen delen zullen omwille van de ritmiek altijd in het Duits moeten worden uitgevoerd. Met dit in alle opzichten bijzondere werk biedt u uw publiek een overweldigende ervaring!

Diese Version der Markus-Passion wurde für Blasorchester, Erzähler, Mezzosopran (oder Alt) und Bariton geschrieben und unterscheidet sich dadurch von den meisten anderen Passionen, die für Chor, Solisten und Orchester konzipiert sind. Die Texte aus dem Markusevangelium wurden vollständig verwendet, was diese Passion einzigartig macht. Die Worte des Evangelisten können auch in einer anderen Sprache vorgetragen werden, damit das Werk für das jeweilige Publikum zugänglicher ist. Die Vokalstimmen sollten aufgrund der komplexen Rhythmen immer auf Deutsch gesungen werden. Dieses Werk ist in jeder Hinsicht etwas ganz Besonderes und bietet ein wirklich überwältigendes Erlebnis fürdas Publikum!

Contrairement la plupart des passions avec chœur, solistes et orchestre, cette version de la Passion selon Saint-Marc a été conçue pour orchestre, narrateur, mezzo soprano et baryton (ou alto). Les paroles de l’Evangile selon Marc ont été entièrement utilisées, ce qui rend cette passion si unique. Si vous le souhaitez, les paroles de l’évangélist e peuvent être récitées dans toutes les langues afin de rendre l’œuvre plus accessible au public. Les parties chantées doivent toujours être interprétées en allemand en raison de la rythmique. Cette œuvre est très particulière dans tous les sens du terme et est une expérience extraordinaire pour votre public !

The lyrics to Der Mond ist aufgegangen (The Moon Is Risen) come from Matthias Claudius, one of Germany’s best-known poets. The 1779 poem with the original title Abendlied (Evening song) was set to music by Johann Abraham Peter Schulz and has become perhaps the most famous Abendlied in the German-speaking world. Johann de Haan has created a delightful arrangement of this poignant melody. The wind orchestra can optionally be accompanied by a choir (Dutch and German texts are provided).

De tekst van het lied Der Mond ist aufgegangen is van de hand van Matthias Claudius, een bekende Duitse dichter. Het gedicht komt uit 1779 en had oorspronkelijk de titel Abendlied.

...Then Thy Words Will Take Wing... is a four movement composition based upon drawings made by Russian painter Zinovii Tolkatchev (1903-1970), who served as official artist during the liberation of concentration camps in Auschwitz. After the war, Tolkatchev’s works were published and now tour the world as a travelling exhibition. This composition is a tribute to the victims of the Holocaust who still remain nameless, and is a powerful piece to include in any concert programme.

“ …dan zullen uw woorden vleugels krijgen...” is een vierdelige compositie gebaseerd op vier tekeningen van de Wit-Russische schilder Zinovii Tolkatchev (1903-1970).

Na de oorlog verschenen de tekening van Tolkatchevs in albumvorm en momenteel reizen ze de wereld over, te bekijken bij tentoonstellingen. De compositie is een eerbetoonaan alle naamloze slachtoffers van de Holocaust en grijpt daarbij ook terug op de hoofdgedachte van de Yad Vashems, het gedenkbeeld van de Holocaust in Jeruzalem.

Hear the sounds of marching bands, choirs, and the music of Broadway in this exciting concert march. Inspired by an actual parade in New York, Michael Brand brings us this spectacular original march. Perfect in any setting throughout the year.

In June 1997 I was in New York and had a free weekend. On Sunday morning I was awoken early by a great deal of banging and saw that barriers and roadblocks had been erected throughout Central Park. Why? I soon heard the answer: a great parade. When the Americans put together a parade they really mean it! This one lasted 3 hours and brought the center of New York to a standstill. Bands, dancers and choirs marched past in celebration of the Jewish faith. New York Parade is completely original but its starting point in my imagination was a marching band, a choir and Broadway. The marching band starts in the distance, passes by and as it moves away we hear the next block of performers singing, almost chanting, a hymn (called Jewish Song). The groups suddenly turn into Broadway, as a song from an imaginary show intervenes but then the band and choir return in counterpoint and all three themes come together.

The teachers under whom Árpád Balázs (b.1937) studied composition - Ferenc Farkas, Aram Khachaturian and Goffredo Petrassi - each independently formed the opinion that with his lyrical gift Árpád Balázs's true creative field would be that of choral music and wind ensembles. Their early predictions are borne out by the roughly two hundred and fifty works for choir and almost twenty for wind orchestra that the composer has since produced. It is interesting that in the suite entitled Négy kép (Four pictures) the stylistic features of these two related musical fields are united. In it the wind instruments sing! It was not by chance that the expansive second movement was given thetitle Cantilena, while the slightly livelier but just as lyrical third movement was entitled Arietta. The opening movement of the work is a stridently jolly, energetic Induló (March), but not one of the rigidly military kind: the 6/8 rhythm contributes to its light-hearted character. This music is avowedly akin to the ballet music of Prokofiev. This choice series of four character pieces is crowned by Játék (Play) in which conveying the effect of the mixture of lines moving in parallel and then colliding with each other may be more technically demanding, but is well worth the effort!

English-German-French- Dutch.

Based on traditional Easter chants Fantasia di Pasqua is a tremendous work to feature four of your players in a religiously inspired work. Often this work is performed in church concerts or religious situations and, as such, the composer suggests that the quartet may be utilised performing from two ‘galleries’. This creates a wonderful double-choir effect that befits the Renaissance-like style of such great composers as Gabrieli. A truly inspired work to bring a touch of Renaissance class to your concerts.

In Fantasia di Pasqua speelt het (koper)kwartet een cruciale rol. De componist raadt aan dit kwartet vanuit een galerij te laten spelen: de zo gecreëerde dubbelkorigheid past bij de enigszins renaissancistische stijl van hetwerk. De gebruikte koraalmelodieën worden alle - veelal dansrijk - door het kwartet uitgevoerd in diverse cadansen, die mede door de dubbelkorigheid resulteren in een levendige en afwisselende uitvoering. Het kwartet hoeft nietper se te bestaan uit twee trompetten (cornetten) en twee trombones, maar kan naar believen worden samengesteld.

In seiner Fantasia di Pasqua verwendete Michael Bilkes traditionelle Osterlieder. Ein Quartett spielt hier eine entscheidende Rolle. Dies kann ein Blech- und/oder Holzbläserquartett sein, möglich ist auch ein Posaunenchor (der Komponist gibt hierzu Tipps). In Kirchen kommt die Fantasie besonders schön zur Geltung, wenn das Quartett von der Empore herab spielt. Der so kreierte Doppelchor-Effekt passt ausgezeichnet zum Renaissance ähnlichen Stil und verspricht eine sehr lebhafte und abwechslungsreiche Aufführung.

Fantasia di Pasqua est une fantaisie basée sur des mélodies chorales pascales, issues de la Renaissance. Un quatuor (cuivres/bois) joue un rôle primordial dans le développement de la pièce. La musique pascale étant essentiellement destinée être interprétée dans un lieu de culte, le compositeur préconise de placer le quatuor sur le balcon. L’effet de double chœur ainsi créé donne la pièce un caractère varié et divertissant.

Jubiloso, maestoso, tranquillo, lyrico, dynamic detail, captivating rhythms, woodwind choir, brass choir and more! All the elements of a great grade 3 festival piece are here. Tutti sections contrast with subtle and delicate scoring as this melodic masterpiece weaves its magic around the beautiful hymn “What Wondrous Love is This?” Careful attention has been paid to cross cueing so that bands that are missing an instrument here or there can still do a credible interpretation. Memorable!
