A Western Suite paints the musical picture of a group of gold diggers and adventurers in the Wild West! Opening with an optimistic march, followed by wistful sounds around the campfire, A Western Suite sees an exciting rodeo take place before the main theme brings the piece to an end. Bring the atmosphere of the Wild West onto the concert stage!

Raak in de ban van het Wilde Westen! Andreas Ludwig Schulte weet de sfeer van deze contreien op een uiterst treffende wijze te schetsen. Laat u meeslepen in het grote avontuur van de goud- en gelukzoekers. Euforie in het eerste deel!Een vlotte mars verklankt de opgewektheid en het optimisme. Maar bij het kampvuur komen de pioniers tot rust. Een weemoedige melodie verwoordt gevoelens van romantiek en heimwee, maar ook van hoop.Ontspanning vinden ze bij eenrodeofeest, dat in het derde deel muzikaal wordt verklankt. Flashback van het begin volgen, waarna de compositie waardig afsluit.

Die Western Suite zeichnet ein musikalisches Bild einer Karawane von Goldsuchern und Glücksrittern: Die Reise beginnt mit einem Optimismus versprühenden Marsch, gefolgt von wehmütigen Klängen am abendlichen Lagerfeuer. Am nächsten Tag findet ein schwungvolles Rodeo statt, bevor das Eingangsthema die Reise und die Komposition zu ihrem Ende führt. Bringen Sie den Wilden Westen auf die Konzertbühne!

L’oeuvre Western Suite dresse en musique, le portrait d’une caravane de chercheurs d’or et autres aventuriers. Le voyage commence dans une ambiance optimiste, qui se traduit par une pétillante marche. En soirée, la mélancolie s’installe autour du feu de camp, des sons lugubres s’échappent des instruments. Le lendemain est organisé un rodéo, festivité et excitation sont abordées par de riches lignes mélodiques, avant de réinterpréter le thème initial en final. Avec Western Suite, laissez entrer l’ouest américain dans votre salle de concert !

Il brano A Western Suite traduce in musica le avventure di un gruppo di cercatori d’oro e di altri avventurieri. Il viaggio inizia in un’atmosfera piena di ottimismo, che si riflette in una briosa marcia. In serata, la malinconia regna intorno al fuoco; gli strumenti emettono suoni quasi lugubri. L’indomani, gli avventurieri organizzano un rodeo, l’eccitazione per l’evento è affidata a ricche melodie, che anticipano la riesposizione del tema iniziale.

Bud Caputo presents Nutcracker Suite Selections for string orchestra featuring three abridged movements of?Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite:?Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, March, and Trepak. These abridged movements are sure to be crowd-pleasers around the?winter holidays or a favorite for?any time of the year.
This arrangement will challenge students, while fostering rhythmic independence, execution of bowing and pizzicato, and the ability to balance the melody with the accompaniment throughout the arrangement. However, ranges remain primarily in first position with some optional 8va< span class=s4> passages, allowing intermediate groups to perform this in time for the winter holiday concert. Suitable for Grades 3 through 5. To the Director: Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy: A steady tempo is critical when performing this movement, as students may have a tendency to rush during the pizzicato sections. There is a regularly occurring descending sixteenth-note rhythmic figure that is transcribed form the bass clarinet part in the original. It is important to maintain clarity and balance in performing these passages as seen in mm. 16-19, in the Basses and m. 34 in the Cello and Bass. The balancing of the chords will be a challenge in the execution of the many sforzandos in this movement. March: Measures 2 and 4, and similar melodic patterns that follow, require the performers to carefully balance their forte/pianos on beats 3 and 4, along with the rapid diminuendo. The contrasting rhythmic patterns in mm. 5-8, and later throughout this movement must line up precisely. Strings playing the pizzicato eight note, walking bass line, must not rush, and the upper strings playing the eighth-note/eight-rest figure must follow their section leaders in executing this in a unified manner. While there is no formal tempo change from mm. 40 to 41, directors may need to relax the tempo at the beginning of the movement to accommodate the technical challenge of the double time feel that happens in m. 41. Trepak: Tchaikovsky was careful to notate the p, f and sf, requiring the performers to recognize the difference between all three markings that frame the chief melody. The upper strings must be careful to support the melody in the lower strings that begins in m. 33. Directors will challenge their students to have fun in the last twelve measures with the accelerando passage to the end. Care must be taken to use an accelerando that works for all the players in the particular ensemble..

However, ranges remain primarily in first position with some optional 8va passages, allowing intermediate groups to perform this in time for the winter holiday concert.  Suitable for Grades 3 through 5.To the Director:Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy: A steady tempo is critical when performing this movement, as students may have a tendency to rush during the pizzicato sections. There is a regularly occurring descending sixteenth-note rhythmic figure that is transcribed form the bass clarinet part in the original. It is important to maintain clarity and balance in performing these passages as seen in mm. 16-19, in the Basses and m. 34 in the Cello and Bass. The balancing of the chords will be a challenge in the execution of the many sforzandos in this movement. March:  Measures 2 and 4, and similar melodic patterns that follow, require the performers to carefully balance their forte/pianos on beats 3 and 4, along with the rapid diminuendo. The contrasting rhythmic patterns in mm. 5-8, and later throughout this movement must line up precisely. Strings playing the pizzicato eight note, walking bass line, must not rush, and the upper strings playing the eighth-note/eight-rest  figure must follow their section leaders in executing this in a unified manner. While there is no formal tempo change from mm. 40 to 41, directors may need to relax the tempo at the beginning of the movement to accommodate the technical challenge of the double time feel that happens in m. 41. Trepak:  Tchaikovsky was careful to notate the p, f and sf, requiring the performers to recognize the difference between all three markings that frame the chief melody. The upper strings must be careful to support the melody in the lower strings that begins in m. 33. Directors will challenge their students to have fun in the last twelve measures with the accelerando passage to the end. Care must be taken to use an accelerando that works for all the players in the particular ensemble.

Fanfare Band - Grade 4

SKU: BT.DHP-0920404-020

Composed by Jan Van der Roost. Inspiration Series. Concert Piece. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 1992. De Haske Publications #DHP 0920404-020. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-0920404-020).

This suite was composed by Jan Van der Roost on the occasion of the 110th anniversary of the ‘Koninklijke Sint Martinusfanfare’ (Royal Saint Martinus Fanfare Band) from Halle (Belgium). The composer was required to create a suite in three movements based on three images associated with the ‘Sint Martinusfanfare’ from the small town of Halle in the province of Brabant. The first movement (Andante Pomposo) describes Martin, a soldier in the Roman army. In Andante Moderato we see the image of Martin, who become a Christian and chooses to devote his life to God. In this movement, the composer was inspired by the Brabantine gothic art of the Sint Martinus Basilica in Halle. Thecontrast between the dark Basilica and the statue of Our Lady between the soaring pillars will vividly come to life for audiences of this descriptive piece. The final movement, Allegro Molto Vivace’, could have been an image for a frivolous peasant in the Halle carnival. In a triptych about St. Martin it is more fitting to refer to it as an apotheosis, the crown on the pastoral work of Martin, Bishop of Tours, Patron Saint of the Fanfare Band and the Basilica of Halle.

Jan Van der Roost komponierte diese Suite anlässlich des 110. Geburtstages der Koninklijke Sint Martinusfanfare aus Halle (Brabant).
Auftrag des Komponisten was es, ein dreisätziges Werk zu schreiben, dessen einzelne bildhafte Teile einen Bezug zur Sint Martinusfanfare herstellen sollten. Der erste Satz, ein Andante Pomposo, beschreibt Martin, Soldat im römischen Heer. Das darauffolgende Andante Moderato zeichnet ein Bild von Martin, der sich zum Christentum bekehrt und sein Leben Gott widmen möchte. In diesem Satz ließ sich derKomponist von der brabantischen Gotik der Sint Martinus Basiliek in Halle inspirieren. Der Kontrast zwischen der dunklen Basilika und der von hoch emporstrebenden Pfeilern umgebenen, strahlenden Statue der Mutter Gottes wird für den Zuhörer in diesemausdrucksvollen Bild leicht nachvollziehbar.
Der Schlusssatz, ein Allegro Molto Vivace, hätte die musikalische Beschreibung eines ausgelassenen Bauerntanzes während des Karnevalsumzugs in Halle sein können. In einem dem Heiligen Martin gewidmeten Triptychon ist es jedoch angemessener, in einerApotheose darauf zu verweisen, als Krönung des pastoralen Wirkens des Heiligen Martin, Bischof von Tours, Schutzheiliger des Auftraggebers und Stifter der Basilika in Halle.
