As performed in the fabulous Trans-Siberian Orchestra live concert, experience Tchaikovsky's 'Trepak' from The Nutcracker as you never have before. Just as energetic with wind and percussion instruments alone, several included optional parts enhance the authenticity. If you haven't seen TSO, check it out online. If you add lighting effects, there are no better choices for your holiday concert closer! (4:30) / Orchestre D'Harmonie

Par JOHNSON TIMOTHY. This energetic overture with delightful natural contrasts is sure to find its way into your repertoire. Opening with a wonderful F Horn melody (cued in Alto Saxophone) the classic overture style piece sparkles with interesting twists and turns. There are many style, dynamic and articulation contrasts in the piece so there are plenty of things to teach and learn. / Niveau : 2.5 / Musique légère originale / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Par VAN DER ROOST JAN. Singapura Suite was commissioned by Singapore's Ministry of Education Extracurricular Activities Branch to serve as a compulsory piece for the 1999 Singapore Youth Festival. 'Singapura' is the original name of Singapore in Malay, the native language there. Because Singapore is one of the most important harbors in the world, this two-piece work opens with a seaman's dance. An authentic melody, Chan Mali Chan, is woven into the middle of this first part, whose ABA form becomes clear through the recapitulation of the seaman's dance in a somewhat altered form. Singapore is also a dynamic city-state alive with excitement, thus the second part begins with a fitting dance, a fastbourrée. As contrast there is a second authentic melody, Dayung Sampan, a more easygoing sailing song. This short but curious suite ends in high spirits with a recapitulation of the beginning. / Niveau : 2.5 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Par CURNOW JAMES. A powerful statement in recognition of the allied D-day armada! There are so many musical considerations that make this piece an extraordinary teaching tool, let alone the cross-curricular tie-ins with the history department! The contrasts of style, dynamics, articulations, and harmonic balance make it a superb learning experience with an important historical connection. Perfect for festival or concert, James Curnow’s ARMADA OF FREEDOM will be a memorable event in your concert season. To the front! / Niveau : 2 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Par VAN DER ROOST JAN. A spectacular dive via an extended chromatic scale immediately submerges us in a charged and somewhat archaic-feeling atmosphere. Trumpets, horns and trombones resound in rhythmic patterns, buttressed by restless motifs in the percussion. A second theme, in the woodwinds, begins much calmer but is quickly pushed aside by that same brass offensive. This introduction is the musical expression of the sometimes tumultuous early history of the town of Peer in Belgium. It closes with a D scale played over two octaves and repeated three times, symbolizing the church steeples that dominate the townscape. Peer has the credentials of a town, and people should know about it. There followsa rhythmic, turbulent passage: in the course of history, Peer has not been spared the ravages of war, arson, occupation, epidemic and other evils. In contrast, a slow, pastoral, lyrical part expresses the periods of peace and prosperity the town has known, as well as the serene geographic setting that still characterizes the place. Various instruments in groups are developed in solo style while the accompaniment displays vast, painterly images of sound. Now and then an exotic intonation is heard: a variety of peoples and cultures have left their mark on the town. This episode of tranquility and peacefulness comes to a sudden end when, via a surprising, almost chaotic transitional passage, we are in effect transported back to our own time. A hopeful, festive march expresses the confidence in the future that the Royal Concert Band of Peer exudes. This confidence is wholly justified: under the direction of conductor Willy Fransen, the 95 members of the concert band have experienced an extended period of good fortune, and the 75 musicians of the youth band - and the 45 little musicians of the mini-band - are involved in thriving operations. / Niveau : 6 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie
