Festival Prelude ‘Ad Excel’ was commissioned by the AD Concert Band, from Solihull in the UK, to celebrate their 40th Anniversary in 2016. The title, Ad Excel, is a play on words: it is Latin for ‘to excel’ but also celebrates the band’s anniversary as XL is 40 in Roman numerals. The work opens with a bright fanfare with frequent changes of meter. This leads to a playful main subject, played first by woodwinds, followed by full band. A bridge passage leads to a legato second subject, played twice. The bridge passage returns to introduce the both main melodies in new keys and instrumentations before a coda, derived from the opening fanfare, brings the work to a close.

Festival Prelude ‘Ad Excel’ werd geschreven in opdracht van de AD Concert Band uit het Britse Solihull, ter gelegenheid van het veertigjarig bestaan van dit orkest in 2016. De titel, Ad Excel, heeft een dubbele betekenis, die is gebaseerd op de Engelse van het Latijn afgeleide term ‘to excel’ (excelleren, uitblinken) én op het veertigjarig jubileum van de band, aangezien XL in Romeinse cijfers het getal 40 aanduidt. Het werk opent met een opgewekte fanfare waarin frequent van maatsoort wordt gewisseld. Dan volgt een speels hoofdthema, eerst in het hout en dan het volledige orkest. Een bridgegedeelte leidt naar een legato tweede thema, dat twee keer klinkt.Daarop keert de bridge terug om beide hoofdmelodieën in nieuwe toonsoorten en instrumentaties te introduceren, waarna een coda, ontleend aan de openingsfanfare, het werk besluit.

Das Stück Festival Prelude ‘Ad Excel’ wurde 2016 von der AD Concert Band aus Solihull (Vereinigtes Königreich) aus Anlass ihres 40-jährigen Jubiläums in Auftrag gegeben. Der Titel, Ad Excel, ist ein Wortspiel: Es ist das lateinische Wort für to excel“ (engl.: hervorragend sein“), bezieht sich aber auch auf das Jubiläum des Orchesters, da XL die römische Ziffer für 40 ist. Das Werk beginnt mit einer strahlenden Fanfare mit zahlreichen Taktwechseln. Sie führt zu einem verspielten Hauptthema, das zunächst von den Holzbläsern und anschließend vom gesamten Orchester gespielt wird. Eine Überleitung führt zu einem zweiten Thema im Legato. Die Überleitung kehrtschließlich wieder, um die beiden Hauptmelodien in neuen Tonarten und Instrumentierungen vorzustellen, bis das Werk in einer Coda, die von der Eröffnungsfanfare abgeleitet ist, endet.

Festival Prelude ‘Ad Excel’ est une commande de l’AD Concert Band de Solihull au Royaume-Uni, pour célébrer leur 40e anniversaire en 2016. Le titre, Ad Excel, est un jeu de mots : en latin, il signifie « exceller », mais les chiffres romains XL font aussi 40, l’anniversaire célébré par l’orchestre. L’œuvre commence par une fanfare éclatante aux changements de mesure fréquents, suivie par l’introduction du thème principal, joué par les bois, puis repris par l’orchestre. Un pont mène au second thème legato avant d’introduire - nouveau les deux mélodies principales avec des tonalités et instrumentations différentes. L’œuvre se termine avec une coda dérivée de la fanfared’ouverture .

Festival Prelude ‘Ad Excel’ è stato commissionato dalla AD Concert Band, di Solihull nel Regno Unito, per celebrare il loro 40esimo anniversario nel 2016. Il titolo, Ad Excel, è un gioco di parole: è il corrispondente latino di “eccellere” ma celebra allo stesso tempo l’anniversario della band dato che XL equivale a 40 in numeri romani. L’opera si apre con una luminosa fanfara con frequenti cambi di tempo. Questa sfocia in motivo giocoso principale, prima suonato dai legni, subito dopo dall’intera banda. Un passaggio che funge da ponte porta poi a un secondo tema in legato, suonato per due volte. Il passaggio ritorna poi ad introdurre le due melodieprincipali in una nuova tonalit prima della coda, che riprende la fanfara di apertura, portando il brano alla conclusione.
