Bach's first cantata for the election of the Leipzig town council, composed in August 1723, is one of his most splendidly scored work from his Leipzig period. The choice of opening, with the representative form of a French overture, was suited to a festive orchestral scoring. Two choral movements frame a middle section which consists of two arias and a recitativo accompagnato with a trumpet ritornello. The conclusion of this extended festive music takes a reflective turn in movements 8 and 9, when Bach allows a recitative to be followed by simple, prayer-like chorale movement. Score and part available separately - see item CA.3111900.

This work is a close-up of the encounters and relationships of trust between people, following the idea that friendship lasts forever.” After the passing of Satoshi Yagisawa’s close friend and work partner, Tsutomu Murata, a designer of Neo Create in August 2020, the composer began work on this piece. Murata performed music for audiences primarily as a leader and conductor of Kurume City Brass, a group which is active in Fukuoka Prefecture in Japan. Eternal Frienship depicts a five-minute chorale which explores “how music can convey that a close friend is indispensable to you, more broadly, everyone to someone,” much like how Murata conveyed the appeal of music to his audiences. Under the direction of the composer himself, the work had its world premiere and was recorded with the Kobe College Wind Orchestra.

Dit werk werpt een blik op fijne ontmoetingen en vertrouwelijke relaties tussen mensen en gaat uit van het idee dat vriendschap voor altijd is. Nadat Yagisawa’s goede vriend en collega Tsutomu Murata, een van de ontwerpers van Neo Create, in augustus 2020 overleed, begon hij aan deze compositie te werken. Murata musiceerde vooral als muzikaal leider en dirigent van Kurume City Brass, een ensemble dat actief is in de Japanse prefectuur Fukuoka. Eternal Frienship is een vijf minuten durend koraal waarin wordt verkend hoe muziek kan verklanken dat een goede vriendschap onmisbaar voor je is en hoe dit principe in bredere zin voor alle mensen geldt. Op een vergelijkbare manier wist Murata de betekenis van muziek op zijn publiek over te brengen. Het werk is onder leiding van de componist zelf in première gebracht en werd opgenomen door het Kobe College Wind Orchestra.

Dieses Werk betrachtet Begegnungen und Vertrauensbeziehungen zwischen Menschen, die überzeugt davon sind, dass Freundschaft ewig hält“. Nach dem Tod von Satoshi Yagisawas engem Freund und Kollegen Tsutomu Murata, einem Designer von Neo Create, im August 2020 begann der Komponist mit der Arbeit an diesem Stück. Murata trat hauptsächlich als Leiter und Dirigent von Kurume City Brass, einem Blasorchester in der Präfektur Fukuoka in Japan, in Erscheinung. Eternal Frienship besteht aus einem fünfminütigen Choral, der beschreibt, wie Musik verdeutlichen kann, dass ein enger Freund für jeden unverzichtbar ist“ eben genauso, wie auch Murata seinem Publikum die Anziehungskraft der Musik vermittelt hat. Das Werk wurde unter der Leitung des Komponisten mit dem Kobe College Wind Orchestra uraufgeführt und aufgenommen.

Cette œuvre examine les rencontres et rapports de confiance entre les gens, selon l’idée que « l’amitié est éternelle ». Satoshi Yagisawa commença écrire cette pièce la suite du décès, en ao t 2020, de son associé et ami proche, Tsutomu Murata, un concepteur de Neo Create. Murata se produisait en public principalement en tant que directeur et chef d’orchestre de Kurume City Brass, un ensemble actif dans la préfecture de Fukuoka, au Japon. Eternal Frienship prend la forme d’un choral de cinq minutes qui explore « comment la musique peut exprimer l’idée qu’il est indispensable d’avoir un ami proche et, plus largement, que l’on ne peut vivre sans les autres ». Murata savait certainement communiquer l’attrait de la musique son public.

An extraordinary acknowledgement of the esteem with which the composer was regarded in his lifetime, the three surviving odes on the death of Henry Purcell are also in themselves among the finest works by his English contemporaries. John Blow's extended elegy 'Mark how the lark and linnet sing', which sets a poem by Dryden, modestly scored for two voices, two recorders and continuo, is a masterpiece displaying both the contrapuntal skill which Blow had taught Purcell and the florid declamatory style which Purcell had brought to perfection in such numbers as ''Tis Nature's voice' in Hail! bright Cecilia. Henry Hall's 'Yes my Aminta', laid out for similar forces, is an eloquent and finely crafted pastoral dialogue in the pathetic style, with words probably written by the composer himself. Grandest in conception is 'Come, come along for a dance and a song', by Jeremiah Clarke. Setting a conventional pastoral elegy penned by an unknown hand, it marshals three solo voices, chorus and full baroque orchestra in a sequence of contrasting movements - including both the song and the dance to which the title refers - which together form a lament at once arresting and poignant. The three works have not hitherto been presented together, and the Clarke appears for the first time in a modern critical edition - together with Godfrey Finger's hitherto unpublished 'Farewell' Suite in G minor, probably from his own lost ode on Purcell's death.

As recorded by the Oliver Nelson Orchestra, 'Berlin Bei Nacht' is the 4th movement of the Impressions of Berlin suite. Set in an up-tempo fashion, this Oliver Nelson's 1971 forward-thinking original starts out with an in-your-face swing unison line played by the saxophones and the trumpets, with the trombones and rhythm section providing the undercurrent. It then moves into a half-time Latin feel before settling into a funk/rock blues solo section (trumpet, or as you choose). This exciting and unique arrangement will be a favorite for your band and audiences alike! 5-4-4-3 (opt. 5th trombone).

As recorded by the Oliver Nelson Orchestra, 'Heidi' is the 3rd movement of the Impressions of Berlin suite. A gorgeous solo feature for alto saxophone throughout, this piece builds from a quiet beginning to a very powerful point (a 'Bolero' type of tension as the piece develops) before it diminishes to a quiet ending. This 'edited' version is in a lower key, has a shorter solo section and simpler brass ranges, making it more playable for both the soloist and the ensemble while still maintaining the integrity of Oliver's beautiful ballad. 5-4-4-3.

As recorded by the Oliver Nelson Orchestra, 'Ku-Damm' is the 1st movement of the Impressions of Berlin suite. Based on the blues, as so much of Oliver's music was, this bright swing (waltz feel) starts with an aggressive line for woodwind doubles and adds to its intensity with the entrance of the trumpets a short while later. There is solo space for alto saxophone, trombone, and piano. This lively, moving composition is sure to bring an exciting contrast to any program! 5-4-4-3 (opt. 5th trombone).
