for Percussion and Violoncello. Par HUMMEL BERTOLD. In summer 2001, Bertold Hummel composed the present work as a commission for the 'Asiago Festival' and brought together in the grand dimensions of his 'Fantasy in one movement' - as he himself termed it - for the first time the instruments he had always loved much during his life. Asiago - the letters a-s-a-g, corresponding to the notes a, e-flat, a, g in the German musical scale, open and close the work - is a successful excursion into the complex sound combinations of percussion instruments and the mystical, sensuous tone of the violoncello, whereby the stringed instrument occasionally takes on a percussive role and the percussion is sometimes treated like a bowed. Driving rhythms pursue each other, alternating with meditative moments. Chorale fragments lead to a grand cadenza, in which the instrumentalists have the opportunity, following patterns provided, for free improvisation. The première of this work took place on 5th August, 2001 in the Duomo di S. Matteo in Asiago in northern Italy and was in the hands of Peter Sadlo and Julius Berger, who are amongst the most committed exponents of Bertold Hummel's works./ Répertoire / Percussion et Violoncelle

Par JEANBOURQUIN MARC. Pour composer Free Mind, un morceau léger et dynamique, Marc Jeanbourquin s’est inspiré d’un chant gospel, « Oh, Freedom », qui parle de la liberté afro-américaine de l'après-guerre civile. En ces temps de crise, le compositeur voulait évidemment garder un esprit positif et énergique, symbolisant l'espoir de jours meilleurs. Les quatre notes du thème « Oh, Freedom » sont présentes du début à la fin de l'œuvre, le tout agrémenté d’une percussion vivante qui apporte à Free Mind un caractère pétillant pour agrémenter un début de concert plein d’enthousiasme. / Date parution : 2022-07-20/ Répertoire / Fanfare

Edgar Knecht is a jazz pianist who has created his own unique style. His début CD, 'Good Morning Lilofee? (with four-piece combo), conquered the clubs and earned him invitations to international festivals. His treatment of the original melodies is refreshingly different from standard jazz arrangements: It is characterized by a free perception of the tunes, varied rhythms as well as unconventional harmonies. The same recipe for success underlies his second CD, 'Dance On Deep Waters?, with which the Edgar Knecht Quartet is again going on tour, with many gigs lined up for spring and summer.All eight of the songs in our edition offer agreeable and stimulating literature outside the classical and jazz pigeonholes for pianists everywhere, whether or not they dig German folksongs. Familiar tunes such as 'Es freit der wilde Wassermann? or 'Die Gedanken sind frei? gain a wholly new quality and pizzazz in his arrangements. Though based on the original songs, the pieces go far beyond them in form, harmony and rhythm, thereby turning the originals into top-quality jazz ballads. All the pieces have suggestions for improvised passages, usually with chords and written-out ostinato bass lines.All the pieces are recorded on the like-named CD with Edgar Knecht at the piano, accompanied by his trio of bass, drums and percussion.- Eight songs for piano- Appealing literature- Ad lib improvised partsContentsLilofee, Gedankenfreiheit (Freedom of Thought), Tiefe Wasser (Deep Waters), Nachttraum (Dream at Night), Fenjas Lullaby, Schwesterlein (Little Sister), Frühling (Spring), Wiegenlied (Cradle Song)The AuthorEdgar Knecht lives in Kassel (Germany), where he heads a piano school and tours with his combo. Since the age of 14 he has held concerts with his own piano pieces and written many theatre, film and TV scores. With his Edgar Knecht Trio he transforms German folksongs into fascinating jazz ballads with which he fills his programmes and venues. / Piano

Par BARKER WARREN. Ponder for a moment the lengths to which people have gone, the trials they have endured, and the risks they have taken while fighting to gain or preserve their freedom. After all, without freedom, what do you have?The opening of IN PRAISE OF FREEDOM introduces a sense of patriotism and independence. The Brass, Woodwinds, and Percussion take turns sharing the 'spotlight' throughout this uplifting piece. A final fanfare praises the progress of the relentless development of freedom for all mankind. / Niveau : 4 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Arr. John Blanken. Par JOHANSSON JAN. The popular Swedish children's series Pippi Långstrump (Pippi Longstocking) is about an exceedingly strong and strong-willed little girl with red braids - who is the brainchild of Astrid Lindgren. This series has been broadcasted in many countries. I arranged its cheerful theme tune in samba style. Even with the new rhythm, the original song is still very recognizable. In the exuberant samba style, the percussion plays an important role. Within the Långstrump Samba, this is especially clear in the ad libitum percussion solo halfway through the arrangement. The solo can go on as long as desired, and offers plenty of freedom because of the free choice of the instruments used. / Niveau : 3 / Musique légère originale / Répertoire / Fanfare

Par COLQUHOUN MICHAEL. Salsa is a popular Hispanic-American urban dance music with deep African and Cuban roots. Charanga is a style of Salsa which was popular from the 1920's through the 1970's. What made Charanga unique was that along with the usual percussion section (congas, bongos/cowbell, timbales, maracas/guiro and clave) there was a string section and a flute lead. When the music was cocinando (or 'cooking”), the percussion, piano, bass and strings would play a powerfully swinging, polyrhythmic patter over which the Charanga flutist was free to improvise complex and intricate riffs. These days, while Salsa is popular as ever, the Charanga as a separate entity is rare. The flute, however,continues to be an important solo instrument. This piece is a cubist portrait of Charanga, and is dedicated to all the great Latin Charanga flutists./ Répertoire / Flûte Traversière
