Ray Charles (1930-2004) was a multitalented and pioneering American pianist and soul singer who became very popular in the late fifties, and remained respected for his music in the decades that followed. By incorporating gospel, jazz, blues, and big band elements, he helped shape the sound of rhythm and blues, and brought a soulful sound to everything from country music to pop standards. Ray Charles embodied the American dream, starting out a poor, blind boy from the southern United States and becoming an international music phenomenon; his nickname was “the Genius” for a good reasonIn this arrangement for concert band, Peter Kleine Schaars presents five of the songs thatcontributed to Ray Charles’ fame: I Can’t Stop Loving You, Hit the Road Jack, Georgia on My Mind, Hallelujah I Love Her So, and Unchain My Heart.

Ray Charles (1930-2004) was een vernieuwend Amerikaans pianist en soulzanger die populair werd in de jaren vijftig en geliefd bleef in de decennia die volgden.

Dit arrangement bevat vijf van de songs die bijdroegen aan de roem van Ray Charles: I Can’t StopLoving You, Hit the Road Jack, Georgia on My Mind, Hallelujah I Love Her So en Unchain My Heart.

In den fünfziger Jahren erlangte der Pianist und Soulsänger Ray Charles große, bis heute ungebrochene Popularität. In dieser Bearbeitung für Blasorchester präsentiert Peter Kleine Schaars fünf der Lieder, die wesentlich zu Ray Charles’ Ruhm beitrugen und auch heute noch ein hoch ansteckendes Soul-Fieber unter Musikern und Zuhörern auslösen können.

Ray Charles (1930-2004) était un pianiste et un chanteur de soul américain l’esprit novateur et aux multiples talents. Il connut le succès dès la fin des années 1950 et son immense notoriété ne le quittera plus. En intégrant dans son jeu des éléments venus du gospel, du jazz, du blues et du big band, il a contribué la naissance et au développement du rhythm and blues et apporté une sonorité pleine de sensibilité tous les styles musicaux, de la musique country aux grands classiques de la musique pop. Ray Charles incarnait le rêve américain : musicien noir, aveugle, issu du milieu défavorisé du Sud des États-Unis, il accède au statut de phénomène musical dans le mondeentier. On ne l’a pas surnommé “the Genius” par hasard. Dans cet arrangement pour Orchestre d’Harmonie, Peter Kleine Schaars a rassemblé cinq titres emblématiques de Ray Charles : I Can’t Stop Loving You, Hit the Road Jack, Georgia on My Mind, Hallelujah I Love Her So et Unchain My Heart.

Ray Charles è un vero mito: cinque decenni di successi, una carriera eccezionale ricca di decine di successi che hanno fatto il giro del mondo diventando fonte di ispirazione per intere generazioni di giovani artisti. Soprannominato “The Genius”, questo pioniere del R&B e della soul music, cieco dall’et di sette anni, ha composto alcune delle canzoni memorabili della musica nera americana tra cui I Can’t Stop Loving You, Hit the Road Jack, Georgia on My Mind, Hallelujah I Love Her so e Unchain My Heart.

Chamber Music Horn

SKU: PR.114422300

Composed by Stacy Garrop. Fold. Score. 4 pages. Duration 4 minutes, 20 seconds. Theodore Presser Company #114-42230. Published by Theodore Presser Company (PR.114422300).

SANSKARA is a free-flowing, lyrical solo work for horn, inspired by the Sufi religion practiced by Garrop’s first composition teacher. The composer has written: “While he and I never talked about his beliefs, I was intrigued to research Sufism while studying with him. While researching, I came across the word sanskara. The word means impressions imprinted onto a person’s soul as memories from their past lives; these impressions shape the person’s desires and actions in their current life. The ideas of reincarnation, and previous actions coming to bear on someone’s next life, were fascinating to my young mind, and I crafted SANSKARA into a series of melodic waves to represent one’s past impressions.”.

Amid his beloved catalog of music for low brass, NEWBURYPORT SONATA is Eric Ewazen’s first recital work for tuba. The composer’s preface tells us, “This work was written during the year of Covid quarantine, and it reflects the strong emotions of that time. The final movement is full of energy and a return to life! There is almost a march-like feel to the music, with a lively and even playful rhythm as the tuba lines are bold, strong, and ultimately energetic and exciting.” The work is also available as NEWBURYPORT QUINTET for Tuba and String Quartet.
The Newburyport Sonata began life as the NEWBURYPORT QUINTET for Tuba and Strings, commissioned by David Yang, director of the Newburyport Chamber Music Festival in Massachusetts. The quintet version was premiered by members of the festival, featuring tuba soloist Scott Devereaux of the U.S. Army Field Band.I’ve long been a fan of low brass instruments and had the pleasure of attending the very first Tuba/Euphonium Convention at Indiana University, which was a real celebration of low brass! As a former cellist (I’ve long been a fan of instruments with a tenor/bass range, the world of euphoniums and tubas) I wanted to write a piece showcasing both the wonderful virtuosity the instrument is capable of, and also its expressive lyricism, which shaped the NEWBURYPORT QUINTET. This adaptation for tuba and piano consequently has a wide variety of musical gestures and moods, exploring the color of the instruments.The first movement is in compound rhythm, with a lilting, energetic 6/8 feel supporting a cantabile line in the Tuba. In a traditional form, there are contrasting themes, sometimes playful and sometimes heroic, which share a lively, rolling rhythm. The second movement is a heartfelt appassionata, with the Tuba sometimes singing in a soulful minor key, and sometimes expressing powerful emotions.This work was written during the year of Covid quarantine, and it reflects the strong emotions of that time. The final movement is full of energy and a return to life! There is almost a march-like feel to the music, with a lively and even playful rhythm as the tuba lines are bold, strong, and ultimately energetic and exciting.In writing this piece, I collaborated greatly with Scott, who played through passages I wrote and gave me technical suggestions on how to flatter the gorgeous sound of the Tuba, allowing it to really sing!The quintet version is also available from the publisher, www.presser.com/114-42284 .

Ray Charles, dem Hollywood jüngst mit einer Oscar preisgekrönten Filmproduktion huldigte, ist die Verkörperung des amerikanischen Traums: Vom armen, blinden Jungen aus den Südstaaten wurde er zum internationalen musikalischen Phänomen; seinen Spitznamen Genie trug er völlig zu Recht. In dieser Bearbeitung für Blasorchester präsentiert Peter Kleine Schaars fünf der Lieder, die zu Ray Charles' Ruhm beitrugen.

Cont inuing the journey started in The Musician’s Soul in 1999… In The Musician’s Empathy, James Jordan argues for both awareness and understanding of the essential role Empathy plays in honest musicianship. Jordan states that our awareness of what Empathy is (and is not) will build both new human depth and new connection within the rehearsal room and concert hall. This book is a collection of suggestions and metaphors for how musicians can harness their own human empathy to refocus rehearsals and performances. Jordan passionately argues that an acute and constant awareness and understanding of Empathy should be at the forefront of all music making, and must be the threshold to artistry and human connection in a post-pandemic world “re-set.” Joining with James Jordan, Jason Max Ferdinand shares how Empathy has shaped his own music making. The book also contains a wealth of QR codes for video presentations dealing with topics related to this book for both self-exploration and class use. Grammy-nominated James Jordan is Professor of Conducting at Westminster Choir College of Rider University, where he conducts the acclaimed Westminster Williamson Voices. He is Artistic Director and Conductor of The Same Stream (www.thesamestreamchoir.c om). He is Co-Director of the Choral Institute at Oxford and Director of the Westminster Conducting Institute. Jason Max Ferdinand is Director of Choral Activities at Oakwood University, where he conducts the Aeolians of Oakwood University.
