Best playability and musical spirit - this is what characterizes the music of Bertold Hummel who died in 2002, and why his music must be part of the repertoire of any amateur and semi-professional orchestra. The Oregon Symphony occupies a special position in his oeuvre: it was written by Hummel for the typically American symphonic wind bands, requiring almost 100 musicians, including 15 clarinets in three groups of five alone, as well as four piccolos and six flutes, bass clarinet, bassoons, saxophones, trumpets, horns, tubas and the typically American sousaphone, and five percussionists. The work consists of four movements; in the rousing finale, Hummel mixes jazz motifs with popular themes and even weaves the anthem of the State of Oregon in the final music. For getting better acquainted with this music, the first movement is also separately available ('Symphonische Ouverture', SHS 1001).

Concert Band/Harmonie - Grade 2.5

The work calls to mind an important event from the history of the city Coesfeld in Germany: the battle of Varlar, which took place in the year 1454. The composition presents us with a bird's eye view of the events: First of all, the consecration of the chapel on the Klinkenberg mountain is set to music in a hymn, after which the trumpets and trombones announce the imminent battle. In the subsequent fray not only the sounds of sabres and rapiers can clearly be heard but also the wailing of the wounded. When the Duke of Brunswick is wounded and captured by the troops of Walraf, Konrad von Diepen and his men march on Coesfeld in victory. Set against a festive melody, the hymnresounds in full glory.

De slag bij Varlar vond plaats in het jaar 1454 in de buurt van de stad Coesfeld. Rob Goorhuis nam deze historische gebeurtenis als bron van inspiratie voor zijn gelijknamige werk. Beginnend met een hymne, refereert de componist aan de inwijding van een kapel, om vervolgens met trompetgeschal de veldslag aan te kondigen. Het houwen en kletteren van de zwaarden, maar ook de klagende stemmen van de gewonden nemen de krijgsgeluiden over, om tenslotte uit te monden in de klanken van de hymne uit het begin. Dit keer om de glorieuze overwinning te vieren…!

Die Schlacht von Varlar fand im Jahre 1454 in der Gegend der Stadt Coesfeld statt. Rob Goorhuis’ musikalisches Luftbild der historischen Ereignisse beginnt mit einer Hymne zur Einweihung einer Kapelle, dann kündigen Trompeten und Posaunen die bevorstehende Schlacht an. Im folgenden Getümmel ist Säbelgerassel, aber auch das Wehklagen der Verwundeten zu hören, bevor mit der Hymne aus dem Eingangsteil der glorreiche Sieg gefeiert wird.

La bataille de Varlar a eu lieu en l’an 1454 autour de la ville de Coesfeld (Allemagne). Telle une vue aérienne, l’oeuvre composée par Rob Goorhuis brosse le portrait des événements qui s’enchaînent les uns après les autres : un hymne en honneur de la chapelle près du champ de bataille, puis l’affrontement venir, le bruit des bottes et le cliquetis des sabres, les gémissements des blessés puis nouveau l’hymne de l’introduction, repris cette fois dans un tempo plus rapide car il est destiné célébrer la victoire.

Rob Goorhuis riprende gli avvenimenti storici della battaglia di Varlar che ebbe luogo nel 1454 nella citt di Coesfeld in Germania. Il brano inizia con un inno che simboleggia l’inaugurazione di una cappella, mentre le trombe e i tromboni annunciano l’imminente inizio delle ostilit . Segue un passaggio caratterizzato dai suoni tipici della cruenta battaglia, ma anche dai lamenti dei feriti, che anticipano il glorioso inno della vittoria.

Concert Band/Harmonie - Grade 5

Composed by Jacob De Haan. Concert and Contest Collection CBHA. Concert Piece. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 1996. De Haske Publications #DHP 0960790-010. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-0960790-010).

This composition is based on a passacaglia theme, in which artistic perfection, symphonic drama and oriental melody lines play a role. The passacaglia is originally a dance made up of a series of variations above a bass line constantly present as an ostinato. It is not in this sense that the Symphonic Variations are in the passacaglia form but in the sense of the open form of the variations. Jacob de Haan, himself originally an organist, took his inspiration for this piece from the famous passacaglia for organ in C-minor by J.S. Bach. Following the introduction of the passacaglia theme (in the bass) the entry by the trumpets and trombones forms the majestic start to amusical adventure, in which this theme (often fragmentary) returns in variations. Then there follow two faster movements with dramatic contrasts and virtuose passages. Particularly striking here is the use of two characteristic intervals from the beginning of the theme namely the minor second and the augmented fourth. An apause in the composition comes in the slow bridge where a syncopated bourdon (perfect fifth) is constantly repeated. The tension grows in dynamics and harmony, and the oriental-flavour becomes obvious in the melody. We arrive at a faster movement via an accelerando, in which a perpetuum mobile based on the passacaglia theme is central. Finally the whole flows into a martial theme, in which the ostinato accompaniment n the descant derives from the passacaglia theme.

By Stan Applebaum. Concert Band/Wind Ensemble. FJH Concert Band. A piercing dissonance - created by trumpets; wildly trilling clarinets; and splashing, rolling cymbals - launches our toboggan on its fun-filled ride. Speeding into its first turn, the toboggan theme is stated by low clarinets in unison. Seconds later, the theme is restated by all woodwinds, spread across two octaves. An oboe solo, supported by French horns and saxes, accompanies the toboggan as it glides through a clearing between trees. All woodwinds pick up the oboe's message and complete the motif in a colorfully orchestrated section. The low clarinets are reintroduced to close off the first theme. Orchestrating the opening dissonance a fourth higher, our toboggan races down a second slope and into the second theme. Constant shifting of orchestral timbres helps conjure up images of a happy, carefree winter setting. The development of our second theme places our toboggan atop another hill. Recalling the opening dissonance and original key, the toboggan theme follows once again in low clarinets. Sixteen measures later, the opening section is restated but newly orchestrated. An abrupt eighth-note figure played by full ensemble brings our toboggan face-to-face with a snowbank, and the end of the ride. Score for this title: B1308S. Extra part for this title: B1308P.

Feature four trumpets in this swing-era style work for concert band. Reflect on the 40s, 50s and 60s musically as the trumpets set the stage for grand memories of the big-band sound. The key to the accompaniment is attention to articulation. Highly programmatic.

This work of festive atmosphere was written in 2000 for symphonic band, then the composer arranged it for symphony orchestra. In this piece, László Dubrovay (*1943) parts with his special, hallmark concert band effects; rather, lively vibrations enriched with colliding seconds and distant overtones are brought to the foreground. The special sound is coloured by ornamental trills, appearingeven in batches, and vibrating collisions in the high registers. The performance is rendered even more unique by the outer trumpets on both sides of the space. The trumpets and the flugelhorns can be divided into ten parts altogether, thus, the piece can be played by one ensemble or several bands together, as it is usual at the conclusion of large-scale festivals. This composition may be a great choice for festive concerts, since it is a solemn, innovative, and - by virtue of the free arrangement of the performing space- special work at the same time.

A great way to feature outstanding soloists from your band!

A set of variations on an Irish folk tune for full concert band by Ian Vlemmiks. This rousing tune is presented in many guises – folk sounding,  rousing, toe tapping sections give way to slower and more reflective/mournful variations . The music then switches from compound time to simple time for a march-like section, before a switch back to compound time for a richly chromatic version. Finally, brass fanfares and woodwind trills lead to a big finish. Great for the concert platform, the simpler phrase structures make this piece fairly straightforward to follow, even if some parts are technically harder (particularly flute 1 and clarinet 1).

Originally written by Vaughan Williams as a vocal setting of a sonnet by Dante Gabriel Rossini, this beautiful art song makes a dramatic musical statement through it flowing melodic lines and creative harmonies. Ed Huckeby has transformed this classic into a magnificent work for concert band, with colorful scoring featuring the woodwind choir as well as vulnerable, yet very playable, melodic lines in the horns and trumpets. Silent Noon is destined to become a new standard in the portfolio of great bands around the world.

A lively and exhilarating new piece for beginning bands, Effervescence lives up to it's title, but is so much more. It also contains lush harmonies, sweeping melodic gestures reminiscent of the America school of composers like Copland.  It is a sophisticated musical presentation, but with limited technical demands, making it easy for young students, but very musically satisfying.
Effervesce nce is commonly known as the act of a gas escaping a liquid and the “fizzing” result that occurs. A secondary definition, however, is a show of liveliness or exhilaration. It is this secondary definition that is the inspiration for this piece.The piece begins with a broad, sweeping introduction followed by a statement of the main theme in the upper voices at m. 11. The trumpets perform the melody at m. 19, while the upper voices perform a countermelody which morphs into the main idea of the B-section that follows at m. 27. The lower voices restate the main theme at m. 35 while the upper voices provide a sweeping harmony with a somewhat “Americana” feel. After a restatement of the B-section at m. 43, a subdued section with new material occurs at m. 51. This pushes into a final restatement of the main theme at m. 59 and leads to a vibrant conclusion followed by a pianissimo afterthought.

Perfect for your next concert or contest performance, Code of Honor will inspire feelings of courage and adventure. A robust opening flows naturally into the main theme proposed by the trumpets, accompanied by the dauntless snare drummer. Uplifting harmonies add to the already spirited mood. Things calm down a bit during a moving but dignified lyrical section. We are soon propelled once again into action by the snare drum and our heroic theme carries us to a rousing conclusion.
