This work was written in 2005, prompted by the composer's determination that young members of junior, music school and conservatoire wind ensembles should not be limited to transcriptions for lack of original compositions, especially contemporary ones. The new devices used in the Little Suite are suitable for student players to try out. Indeed, they enjoy them - for instance, purring or whistling into the instrument. Each of the three-or-four-minute movements of this four-movement work can also be performed separately. The titles of the movements are the following: 1. In cheerful mood, 2. Song, 3. Joke, 4. March. This music in modern idiom, full ofinteresting new effects, offers young players an opportunity for enjoyable music-making together, and at the same time prepares them for playing more difficult contemporary works.

Dieses Werk schrieb der Komponist 2005, für Jugendblasorchester. Jeder der vier Sätze dieser Komposition lässt sich auch einzeln vortragen. Die Titel der Sätze sind: 1. Gutgelaunt, 2. Lied, 3. Spass, 4. Marsch. Die in moderner Sprache gehaltene, mit vielen interessanten neuen Effekten bereicherte Musik bietet den jungen Instrumentalisten Möglichkeiten zum heiteren, gutgelaunten Musizieren in der Gemeinschaft und bereitet sie auch auf das Spielen schwierigerer zeitgenössischer Musik vor.

Little Suite (In Cheerful Mood, Song, Joke, March) pour musiciens décomplexés s’adresse aux Orchestres Juniors de niveau avancé, ainsi qu’aux formations la recherche de nouvelles expériences musicales. Il va falloir, siffl er, souffl er, ronronner, etc. Chacun des quatre mouvements (durée individuelle : 3-4 min.) peut être interprété séparément.

Little Suite si presta per essere eseguito da banda di livello avanzato come anche per tutte le formazioni desiderose di suonare un brano originale moderno con effetti sorprendenti. I quattro movimenti di questa piccola suite, In Cheerful Mood, Song, Joke e March, possono essere eseguiti separatamente.

For Concert Band. Composed by Istvan Bogar. EMB Concert Band Series. Concert Piece. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 2013. 330 pages. Editio Musica Budapest #EMBZ14840SET. Published by Editio Musica Budapest (BT.EMBZ14840SET).

István Bogár's series of movements intended for youngsters is colourfully instrumented, evocative music, rich in melodic invention in character it is most closely akin to Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker ballet music. In the opening movement (Little march), little boys wearing paper shakos on their heads and carrying wooden swords play at soldiers. The following movement, Humming, is the only movement in the suite that is calm and in odd-numbered rhythm in it the children gather flowers in their little baskets, and meanwhile hum pleasant tunes. The third movement is a funny game, with its tempo sometimes speeding up, sometimes slowing down, but by the end really going wild.The titleof the finale is Game of tag. The tiny formal sections and interludes in this lively, cheerful music are linked together by a recurring rondo theme, and the chase ends with a brief coda.

Das schwungvolle Werk richtet sich an Nachwuchsbands, die gerne etwas Neues ausprobieren. In den vier Sätzen spielt es mit Tempi, Klangfarben und Rhythmen und wird dabei von einem wiederkehrenden Rondothema zusammengehalten. Das fulminante Ende wird alle begeistern, die das Werk hören und spielen.

A Little Klezmer Suite was commissioned by Rushton Park High School to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their band programme. They gave the premiere in a virtual online concert in October 2020. Klezmer music originated inthe ‘shtetl’ (villages) and the ghettos of Eastern Europe, where itinerant Jewish troubadours, known as ‘klezmorim’, had performed at celebrations, particularly weddings, since the early Middle Ages. 'Klezmer' is a Yiddish termcombining the Hebrew words ‘kley’ (instrument) and ‘zemer’ (song). The roots of the style are found in secular melodies, popular dances, Jewish ‘hazanut’ (cantorial music) and also the ‘nigunim’, the wordless melodies intoned bythe ‘Hasidim’ (orthodox Jews). The melodies used in the four movements of A Little Klezmer Suite have traditionally been used in Jewish wedding ceremonies and celebrations.

A Little Klezmer Suite werd geschreven in opdracht van de Rushton Park High School ter gelegenheid van het vijftigjarig bestaan van het blaasorkest van de school. De première vond in oktober 2020 plaats tijdens een virtueelonlineconcert. Klezmermuziek is ontstaan in de 'sjtetls' (dorpen) en getto’s van Oost-Europa, waar rondreizende Joodse troubadours, de zogeheten klezmorim, sinds de vroege middeleeuwen optraden bij feesten, met name bruiloften.Klezmer is een Jiddische term waarin de Hebreeuwse woorden 'kley' (instrument) en 'zemer' (lied) zijn gecombineerd. De oorsprong van de stijl is te vinden in wereldlijke melodieën, populaire dansen, de chazanoet muziek uit desynagoge met een voorzanger en de nigunim, de tekstloze melodieën die worden gezongen door de orthodoxe chassidische joden. De melodieën die in de vier delen van A Little Klezmer Suite zijn gebruikt, werden vanoorsprong ten gehore gebracht op Joodse bruiloftsplechtigheden en huwelijksfeesten.

Avalonâ€⠀œLong Live the King is a medieval fantasy piece depicting the Isle of Avalon where the mystical sword Excalibur of King Arthur was forged. Composer Tyler Arcari unearths a solid piece for young bands that is both bold and dramatic. This piece is sure to spark the imagination of students and give them strong musical content with which they can develop their musicianship.
Program Notes:Avalon–Long live the King began its journey as a commission in honor of a dear friend and mentor. David Riggs is one of those band directors that just seems timeless. He is a powerhouse with such a stacked resume that it is easy to forget that at the end of the day he enjoys taking long bike rides with his lovely wife and whittling a piece of wood just as much as being a band director. He has touched so many lives and inspired so many people in our field and beyond. I was humbled, and honored, when I was contacted for the commission. To David, I hope that you one day know how much you mean to so many people, including myself.About the piece:The piece is written with a little homage to David’s long tenure at Avalon Middle school in Pace, Florida. He was certainly treated like a king as the band director and rightly so. It seemed only fitting to add a little medieval fantasy. Avalon is a mystical island in the world of King Arthur where the great sword Excalibur was forged.The piece begins lyrically with a slow introduction with melodic material. This melodic motive is used throughout with slight variations depending on the instrument voicing etc. Care should be taken at m. 10 that the Timpani roll helps to bridge our transition from an exposed section to full tutti. Care should be taken so that the tempo change at m. 19 is brisk and avoids the low brass turning into stomping. Accessories like the China cymbal and tambourine can become overpowering. I recommend having students think of these effects as background in order to make sure they don’t POP out. The dynamic changes at mm. 27-35 should be subito similar to orchestral dynamic changes. Avoid unwritten crescendos in this section. Measures 60–64 are a great opportunity to teach those unwritten dynamics that make music so enjoyable as we lead up to the finale. It was originally left blank for some theatrics in the premiere at David’s retirement concert so I know he would enjoy adding some Cholesterol as David would say.Long Live the King!

This short but solemn overture was written on the occasion of the 110th jubilee of Harmonie Hautcharage, Luxembourg. It is an homage to Jean-Paul Frisch and his son Gérard (the present conductor), who each have been conducting theensemble for many years. Under their leadership, the band has developed and improved remarkably. The very first musical theme, presented during the introduction of this little overture, is based on the letters hidden in the namesJean-Paul and Gérard Frisch (in which h is considered b as it is in German), thus aiming the spotlight on both key figures in the history of Harmonie Hautcharage. After the rather stately intro, the allegro is more joyful andlighthearted, thus depicting the optimism of the many young players of the band. The end is exciting and energetic: it radiates positivity and belief in the future.

Deze korte maar plechtige ouverture is geschreven ter gelegenheid van het 110-jarig bestaan van Harmonie Hautcharage uit Luxemburg. Het stuk is een eerbetoon aan Jean-Paul Frisch en diens zoon Gérard (de huidige dirigent), die hetensemble ieder vele jaren lang hebben gedirigeerd. Onder hun leiding heeft het orkest zich enorm ontwikkeld en verbeterd. Het eerste muzikale thema, ge ntroduceerd in de inleiding van deze kleine ouverture, is gebaseerd op deletters die verborgen zitten in de namen Jean-Paul en Gérard Frisch (waarbij de h als b wordt beschouwd zoals in Duitsland het geval is). Hiermee worden beide sleutelfiguren uit de geschiedenis van Harmonie Hautcharage in deschijnwerpers gezet. Na de vrij statige opening klinkt het allegro vreugdevoller en luchtiger, waarmee het optimisme van de vele jonge spelers uit het orkest wordt weerspiegeld. Het meeslepende en energieke slot ademt positiviteiten geloof in de toekomst.

The composer wrote of his work as follows: In the music of Hungary, folk songs are manifestly of great importance, on the other hand our ancient airs and dances play a modest role. For this work I have been influenced by dances of the 17th century, written by unknown amateurs in a relatively simple style. Most of these dances were recorded between the 14th and 18th centuries under the usual form of tablature notation. My interest in this music was first captured in the 1940s. I was so fascinated that I decided to give these melodies new life. I fitted the little eight-bar dances together into ternary and rondo forms, and leaning on early Baroque harmony and counterpoint, Iattempted a reminiscence of that atmosphere of the provincial Hungarian Baroque.

So schrieb der Komponist über sein Werk:

In der ungarischen Musik sind natürlich die Volkslieder sehr wichtig, doch die alten Melodien und Tänze spielen in unserer Musik eine geringere Rolle. Für dieses Werk habe ich mich von Tänzen des 17. Jahrhunderts anregen lassen, die von unbekannten Dilettanten, also ziemlich einfach, geschrieben worden waren. Die meisten waren in der zwischen dem 14. und 18. Jahrhundert geläufigen Tabulaturschrift notiert. In den vierziger Jahren begann ich mich erstmals für diese Musik zu interessieren. Ich war davon so fasziniert, dass ich mich entschloss, sie wieder zum Leben zu erwecken. Ich fügte die kleinen achttaktigen Tänze zu dreiteiligen undRondoformen zusammen. Ausgehend von der frühbarocken Harmonik und Kontrapunktik habe ich mich in einer Art ungarischen provinziellen Barocks versucht.“.

A Little Irish Suite is an original work composed specifically for the Compact Band Series. This series offers smaller ensembles the opportunity to perform original, high-quality works. A Little Irish Suite consists of three movements, all based on Irish folk tunes. Clear structure and crisp harmonies complemented by plain, comprehensible melodies, are characteristic of this piece. It offers conductors the opportunity to work on tone, balance, phrasing as well as on technique with their ensemble. As with all works in the Compact Band Series, A Little Irish Suite features optional parts for instruments that are played less frequently. Conductors can pickand choose the parts needed to best fit the music and the musicians available, to determine the best possible instrumentation for their own ensemble. The duration of six minutes and the large variety and contrast of material played in A Little Irish Suite also make it an ideal selection for competitions or festivals.

A Huntingdon Celebration ist eine kurze, lebhafte Ouvertüre. In dieser abwechslungsreichen Komposition erscheinen verschiedene Themen und Phrasen einmal in einzelnen Instrumentengruppen, dann spielt wieder das gesamte Blasorchester. Die Fanfare der Eröffnung rundet schließlich ein Werk ab, mit dem Sie Ihr Ensemble von vielen Seiten präsentieren können. So setzen Sie Ihre Musiker ins rechte Licht!

L’Orchestr e d’Harmonie du Comté du Huntingdonshire, situé dans l’Est de l’Angleterre, a été fondé en 1993. En 2001, les musiciens invitent le compositeur Philip Sparke, pour un week-end de travail consacré ses œuvres. De cette collaboration chaleureuse, naît l’idée de passer commande d’une pièce pour le 10ème anniversaire de la création de la formation, célébré en 2003. Philip Sparke leur compose A Huntingdon Celebration.Cette ouverture courte et vive débute avec une introduction écrite en forme de fanfare qui s’inspire du thème principal, exposé, dans un premier temps, par les clarinettes et les saxophones, puis par l’Orchestre d’Harmonie en entier. Cuivres et boisétablissent une conversation musicale qui mène l’introduction d’un second thème tout en legato, sur un accompagnement bouillonnant en croches. Le passage central, plus lent, développe un choral dans les registres ténors. Le tempo premier revient ensuite et le thème initial est exposé nouveau, amorçant la reprise de la fanfare d’ouverture qui vient conclure l’œuvre sur une note brillante.

Questo breve e vivace brano d’apertura è ideale per iniziare un concerto. L’incipit è scandito da un tema in stile di fanfara eseguito dai clarinetti e dai sassofoni, sostenuto dall’intera banda. Dopo un corale centrale più lento, ritorna il tempo originale seguito dalla fanfara d’apertura che riappare portando il brano ad una trionfale chiusura.

This symphonic sketch for concert band is packed full different motives thrown around the ensemble hinting at the programmatic leitmotifs of Wagner. Every section of the ensemble gets a workout in this delightful 10-minute work.

A Symphonic Sketch for Concert Band. The resurgence of interest in George Lloyd's music must give us faith that such talent will ultimately prevail against sometimes unhappy circumstances. Lloyd was Cornish and showed precocious gifts at an early age - he had completed his first symphony by the age of nineteen. During the 1930s he completed two operas, one of which - The Serf - was produced at Covent Garden in 1938. He was set for a glittering career as a composer. The Second World War intervened and he was invalidad out of the Navy in a shell-shocked state, and having written very little serious music since 1937 went to Switzerland to recuperate, looked after by his wife, Nancy. Painfully, he began writing again - symphonies Nos. 4 and 5 - and then returned to England. He needed to earn a living and he set up a mushroom farm in Dorset. But slowly he began to compose again and drafted more symphonies in short score. By this time he was virtually unknown - despite being considered the equal of Walton, Britten, and other young stars of English music some 30 years earlier. Lloyd decided to embark on a series of recordings of his symphonies, and slowly popular acclaim enabled him to regain his position. The Forest of Arden was written in 1987 as a result of a commission by the Solihull Youth Wind Band. Although Lloyd's music feels instinctively written one should not be misled - it is carefully crafted, but the craft and structure are always subordinated to create a flow with a strongly melodic content. Instead of two or three themes, The Forest of Arden contains an abundance of ideas which can be described in two groups. The first group contains the opening rhythmic motif, quickly developed into a short rising quaver passage in the woodwinds, and later then a chromatic ostinato bass - only 8 bars at this stage but later expanded. The second group is broad and expansive, initially based on intervals of rising fifths introduced by euphonium, tubas, and baritone saxophone, immediately echoed by horns. Low brass and winds expand the theme into rising sixths and octaves. There is a hint of development, bit this is arrested as the music moves to a piu tranquillo section introduced by the alto saxophone which further develops the rising sixth theme. There follows a true development of the opening material, starting with the ostinato bass and gradually passing through different tonal centers until the rising fifths of the second theme group are heralded - fortissimo and poco piu largamente shortly before the end. The structure is almost Wagnerian (albeit on a much smaller scale), with themes being used as leitmotifs, but this is music which, even within the space of ten minutes is conceived on a grand design.

This easy-to-prepare beginning band comedy piece will have the audience rolling in the aisles. Feature that popular principal, custodian, secretary or any other staff or community member who has a little bit of comedian in them as the Triangle soloist. One interruption after another prevents the soloist from actually playing the Triangle until the very end of the piece where, with a band member’s assistance, the soloist finally gets to play the Triangle one single time. Everyone will love it! Side-splitting!

Di t concert voor triangel en orkest staat garant voor een komische noot. De triangelsolist(e) komt met veel poespas op en mist vervolgens tijdens het concerto - op een zeer opvallende manier - elk moment waarop hij of zij moet spelen.De laatste noot is echter eindelijk raak. Het wordt extra leuk als een bekende persoon deze grappige rol op zich neemt (bijvoorbeeld een oud-lid of een voorzitter): de spelers en het publiek zullen zich kostelijk vermaken!

Ein heiteres, komödiantisches Stück, das leicht einzustudieren ist: Präsentieren Sie jemanden - gerne auch einen Nicht-Musiker - dem verdutzten Publikum als den Triangel-Solisten“ vor. Was nun folgt, ist unbezahlbar komisch: Eine Unterbrechung jagt die andere und hält den Solisten“ von seinem kunstvollen Vortrag ab, bis er schließlich, ganz zum Schluss, mit tatkräftiger Unterstützung eines Orchestermusikers, doch noch zu seinem Auftritt kommt. Ein absoluter Brüller!

Cette composition humoristique est un hommage « vibrant » au triangle. Une seule note jouer mais avec prestance, précision et sérieux. La carrière en dépend ! Hélas, les empêchements sont nombreux : problème de matériel, de temps, d’espace, sonnerie du portable, etc. Notre brillant soliste réussira-t-il son coup de maître ? vous de le découvrir !
