Arr. Peter Kleine Schaars. Viele Jahre lang unterhielt Peter Kleine Schaars' Jazz-Quartett bei diversen Festlichkeiten und Gelegenheiten - je nach Wunsch mit Jazz oder auch mit Pop und lateinamerikanischer Musik. Dabei stellten die Musiker immer wieder fest, dass eine Stunde absolut spitzenmäßiges Pop-Repertoire der perfekte Schlusspunkt einer jeder schwungvollen Party ist. Aus dieser praktischen Erfahrung heraus wählte Kleine Schaars seine Lieblings-Pop-Stücke aus und arrangierte sie in vorliegendem lebhaften Medley mit dem Titel That's the Way (I Like Them).

Par CURTIS MIKE. The huapango is a popular dance originating on the east coast of Mexico. Its subtle alternation of 2 and 3 can be demonstrated in this recitation: MEX-ico, EC-uador, CHI-le, COS-ta, RI-ca. These dances can be likened to diarist entries written during an extended stay in Mexico's west coast state of Nayarit. Following each sultry day of exploring the beaches, I would come back to the bungalow and seek out a spezial cool corridor to put pencil to staff. The titles reveal favorite places and the name of our esteemed bungalow manager, Ofelia Silva. The addition of an improvising percussionist could enhance performance./ Répertoire / Violon et Violoncelle

A Musical Space Adventure. Par HANNICKEL MIKE. Names like Mercury, Gemini, Soyuz, Sputnik, Apollo, Salyut, Eagle, Skylab, Space Shuttle and Mir have kindled the imaginations of millions. This new beginning band piece by Mike Hannickel honors all the brilliant and dedicated space visionaries who stayed here on Earth, but whose efforts made space exploration a reality. The simplest of rhythms, careful scoring and easily achieved instrument ranges are hallmarks of the Curnow Music Press Great Foundations Series, which is carefully designed to get your beginning band off to an exciting start. This composition limits the upper brass range to a sixth, while the low brass parts encompass a range of only a fifth. The basicflute part avoids difficult finger combinations, and an optional “advanced” flute part (playable simultaneously with the easier part) gives those who are progressing more rapidly a bit more challenge. You have the same choice of difficulty levels for your percussion section, with a basic part and a slightly more difficult “advanced” part. / Niveau : 0.5 / Répertoire / Concert Band
