Gottlieb And Rhapsody Of The Spheres are two works for solo Organ. Gottlieb was first performed in 2000 by Simon Neiminski at St Mary's Cathedral Edinburgh. Rhythmically there is a strong influence of Rave music and harmonically I turned the blues upside down often using minor triads in the left hand with major triads in the right hand.Gottlieb is dedicated to Sydney Gottlieb.'Rhapsody of the Spheres: Reading something John Coltrane said on his album 'A Love Supreme' that 'all vibrations lead to God' got me thinking maybe music is the best form of describing what is going on at an atomic and subatomic level: that the great composersand musicians take you to Heaven rather than try to describe it in words.With that in mind I wrote this piece-a prayer to the Moon and the Stars-where I wanted by using the most majestic instrument of all the organ to describe the beauty of existence. This is a one movement piece slow-fast-slow and is dedicated to my eldest son Sean.'David Heath

Par SPARKE PHILIP. La fresque Music of the Spheres (“La musique des sphères”) souligne la fascination qu’éprouve le compositeur pour les origines de l’univers. L’orchestration est proche de la musique de film. Le climat musical est ample, sonore et contrasté. / Niveau : 6 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Brass Band

In â??Land of Legendsâ?? German composer Andreas Ludwig (whatâ??s in a name) Schulte takes you along to the fictional world of legends myths and fairy tales. The introduction to the first part (The Castle) describes the majestic contours of the sceneof action. Its instrumentation (horns) immediately makes you imagine being in Medieval spheres. The addition of trenchant copper instruments even gives the part a heroic tinge. After entering through the gate a lot of hustle and bustle appearsto be going on in the courtyard. Pages squires and soldiers are busy attending to their arms. Beer is being brewed flax is being spun cattle are being tended and some craftsmen from neighbouring villages are busily at work. In the upperchamber of the round tower lives an old man (The Old Wizard). He hardly ever comes out and nobody knows exactly what he is doing. It is said that he is engaged in wizardry and magic. It is all very mysterious. There are also festivities some ofthem sober others exuberant. The wedding in the third part is celebrated in a grand manner. With a flourish of trumpets the bride makes her entrance at the hand of her father. Afterwards at the party there is dancing to the music played byminstrels and of course a plentiful banquet follows.

The Secret Language of Film Music-Today musical composition for films is more popular than ever. In professional and academic spheres media music study and practice are growing; undergraduate and postgraduate programs in media scoring are offered by dozens of major colleges and universities. And increasingly pop and contemporary classical composers are expanding their reach into cinema and other forms of screen entertainment. Yet a search on Amazon reveals at least 50 titles under the category of film music and remarkably only a meager few actually allow readers to see the music itself while none of them examine landmark scores like Vertigo  To Kill aMockingbird  Patton  The Untouchables or The Matrix in the detail provided by Scoring the Screen: The Secret Language of Film Music.This is the first book since Roy M. Prendergast's 1977 benchmark  Film Music: A Neglected Art to treat music for motion pictures as a compositional style worthy of serious study. Through extensive and unprecedented analyses of the original concert scores it is the first to offer both aspiring composers and music educators with a view from the inside of the actual process of scoring-to-picture.The core thesis of Scoring the Screen is that music for motion pictures is indeed a language developed by the masters of the craft out of a dramatic and commercial necessity to communicate ideas and emotions instantaneously to an audience. Like all languages it exists primarily to convey meaning. To quote renowned orchestrator Conrad Pope (who has worked with John Williams Howard Shore and Alexandre Desplat among others): “If you have any interest in what music 'means' in film get this book. Andy Hill is among the handful of penetrating minds and ears engaged in film music today.”

This book for soprano/tenor saxophone contains pieces for players of Grade 4-6 standard. With works by composers such as Bizet and Vivaldi standing aside the ever-popular Pam Wedgwood and Paul Harris, players are sure to find stimulating music that will appeal. Also for ABRSM examinations grade. / Niveau : Elémentaire / Date parution : 2001-07-19/ Recueil / Saxophone et Piano

Par SPARKE PHILIP. Not Before Time (Il est grand temps) est l?une des deux pièces commandées par Koninklijke Fanfare Kempenbloei Achel (dirigée par Ivan Meylemans) dans le cadre de son programme pour le Concours « World Music Contest 2022», qui s?est tenu à Kerkrade, aux Pays-Bas. L?orchestre a gagné le premier prix de la division « Fanfare Concert Division ». Cousine d?une autre ?uvre du compositeur, Music of the Spheres (qui s?ouvre « before time » [avant l?heure] en t=0), cette pièce débute avec des gammes chaotiques et des groupes d?accords denses rappelant l??uvre précédente. Après un passage multi-métrique rythmique, un air « diabolique » en 7/8 apparaît dans les saxos avant d?être repris par l?orchestre entier. La texture se dissipe soudainement pour introduire une série de clusters par les bugles qui s?amplifie sous un ostinato rapide par les saxos. Des interruptions par les cuivres graves se transforment en nouveau matériel qui mène à un choral en mineur agrémenté d?ornements fleuris par les saxos. Les passages du début sont ensuite réintroduits jusqu?à la réapparition du choral par l?orchestre entier, le tout menant à une coda triomphale. Cette ?uvre peut être interprétée immédiatement avant sa partenaire, Elegy: Echoes of Lives Past (AMP 506-020), dont les éléments du choral sont identiques. / Date parution : 2023-06-01/ Répertoire / Fanfare Band
