Raindrops is an atmospheric composition that is fresh and unique. You will be able to hear the sound of rain as your journey through this exquisite piece. A challenging piece, but more than worth the effort for an advancing ensemble.
As you will hear, the main melody expresses drops of rain, especially the music in the piano part, which is like echoes. The piece is in time. This may seem to be an irregular time signature, but the music is designed to express a feeling of comfort. I recommend that it should be counted in a 3+2 pattern.

Bright and lively, this original anthem has the feeling of a middle-European folk song. Incorporating NOEL NOUVELET, the piano and percussion bring the vibe, adorning the catchy minor melody with colorful timbres. In troubadour style, the text tells the story of faithful shepherds looking for their lost sheep. The second verse uses an ostinato to create a rustic folk band with vocal sounds instead of instruments. Unforgettable sonic joy! Score and Parts (cl, perc 1-2) avialable as a digital download.

Upon completion of an activity, an event, or other meaningful experiences, there is a time for reflection for what has been accomplished and what is to follow. This lyrical piece features a memorable melody that is presented by all sections of the band. These reflective presentations lead into a slightly faster minor section indicating the anticipation of plans for the future. The final presentation of the melody indicates a positive feeling of accomplishment and features a moving countermelody by the woodwinds leading to a quiet, contemplative ending. Check out Journey's End, composed by Steve Hodges. (2:48) This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

Arctic Funk might just as well have been a flashing sequel to a scene from Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story.
Popular music but with a difference, as indicated by the title.
The work's quiet section temporarily soothes down the heated passion of its two corner movements, but everywhere else action is required throughout.
The work was commissioned in 1991 by Troms? Brass. Situated just above the Polar Circle, Troms? is one of Norway's northernmost towns. Topographically, the town probably comes across as freezing cold, but Troms? is famous for its 'warm' night-life.

The Composer: In Arctic Funk you might get a feeling of a party that takes place betweenice-rocks and snow-capped mountains.

Arctic Funk kan net zo goed een flitsend vervolg op een sc?ne uit de West Side Story van Leonard Bernstein zijn.
Populaire muziek, maar met een verschil, zoals aangegeven door de titel.
Afgewisseld door een rustig gedeelteis het volop actie.
Het werk werd geschreven in 1991 voor Troms? Brass. Troms? is een van de noordelijkste steden van Noorwegen, net boven de poolcirkel. Topografisch de stad komt waarschijnlijk over als ijskoud, maar Troms?is beroemd om zijn 'warme' nachtleven.
De componist: In Arctic Funk krijg je misschien het gevoel van een groot feest dat plaatsvindt tussen ijs rotsen en besneeuwde bergen.

Nessu n Dorma, an aria from Puccini's Turandot, is now instantlyrecognised due mainly to the performance by the late Pavarotti at the1990 World Cup in Italy. Since that time its popularity has continuedto grow and it is now often thought of as Pavarotti's theme tune.This version for concert band retains all the intense feeling of theoriginal.

De Italiaanse componist Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924) schreef een aantal indrukwekkende opera's die hem wereldberoemd maakten - onder andere La Boheme, Tosca, Madama Butterfly en Turandot. 'Nessun Dorma' uit Turandot iseen van de bekendste tenoraria's uit de wereld van de opera. De schitterende melodie komt in deze bewerking uitstekend tot haar recht.

Turandot (1926) est un opera posthume. Puccini decede en 1924, laissant son opera incomplet. Turandot sera acheve par Franco Alfano d'apres les esquisses du compositeur. Lyrique, somptueux et poignant, Nessun Dorma est devenu l'un des plus beaux airs d'opera, un theme de predilection pour les tenors les plus prestigieux, tels que Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo et Roberto Alagna.

Although structurally it subdivides into five movements, the entire quartet emerges as one vast continuum. There are no formal breaks between movements. However, certain musical signposts can be discerned, associated with each of the movements' terminations and new beginnings. The opening movement, The Nostalgia of Clanging Bell Sonorities, begins floating on recurrent Bbs whose soft rhythmic flow slowly puts into motion strong undercurrents suggestive of the latent power of water... After several suggestions of tolling bells, the movement gradually fades into hushed tones of veiled and very distant sonorities. It uses a unique effect, for the first time in a musical context, conveyed through the use of extra heavy practice mutes. The second movement, The Spill of Water, disengages itself from the first through its distinct contrast in tempo. Water moves fast, and when it splashes, it tends to run wildly. In this case, it happens to be bubbly water that gushes forth bodly... smashing across rocky shorelines. So, too, the music attempts to conjure such moods. At the end of this movement, a cello cadenza emerges, introducing an introspective type of melodicism. The third movement, The Poignancy of Memory, contains many silences as it tries to convey memory through fragmented remembrances much like often occur in our dream state. Progressing through several slowly building images, it gradually works itself into juxtaposition of musical images. Towards the movement's end, high harmonics are sounding in all four instruments while left hand pizzicato notes in the cello pluck the last remembrances of this central core. Almost imperceptibly, the viola assumes leadership as it dissolves into: The fourth movement, The Fluidity of Motion, which has mostly the viola, but also the cello, articulating lyrical statements against sheets of sound conjured up by the two violins playing a flood of swirling figures, evokes a kind of static motion in space. Here , the virtually imperceptible manner in which this hushed whisper continues incessantly, can suggest the potential fluidity with which movement may inch forward... Later into the fourth movement, two fairly extended solos by the second and then the first violins, lead to a kind of spontaneous dialogue amont the four instrumentalists. Eventually, this musical conversation gets caught up in: The fifth movement's The Rush of Time, which opens with a hushed flurry of speed, precipitates the Finale. It generates, at first slowly, but then very swiftly, whole shifts of rhythmic fields that initially seem to conflict with one another. Ultimately, this use of psycho-rhythmics contributes to an on-rush seem of motion and time. Rhythmic changes are, at times, abruptly precipitated with but little or no preparation creating a kind of inevitability in forward thrust, while the movement rushes forward with a feeling of gradual and continuous acceleration. It gathers density as more and more notes are piled progressively upon successive beats. The attempt is to spark tension and ignite excitement by means of frenetic confrontations of dissimilitudes. Ultimately - with the help of time - these polarities centrifically spin out their own destinies with their accompanying fall-out and own inevitable resolutions.
