NORA’ S DANCE is a jazz-influenced rag from 1921, and among the only surviving compositions by Nora Douglas Holt. A charming and exciting work rejuvenated by Lara Downes’ 2021 recording for the Rising Sun label, the rag is both a fun 2 minutes for pianists and audiences, and also a fascinating time capsule. Composed several years after Scott Joplin’s death, and several years before the Charleston pervaded popular music, NORA’S DANCE blossoms with the energy and jazz harmony starting to emerge as The Roaring 20’s, using ragtime and stride as the seed for pianistic style.
My own life in music has been driven by a quest to find strong female role models, trails to follow, shoulders to stand on. In Nora Douglas Holt, I find an inspiring example of creativity, independence, and resilience – with a dash of troublemaking. She was a free spirit, a force of nature, and she lived a fascinating and eventful life on her own terms. She reinvented herself through five marriages and at least as many careers. From her beginnings at the piano at age four, she explored many avenues of musical expression – performing, composing, music journalism, broadcasting, teaching – all with inventiveness, style, and zeal.She made the most of the Roaring ’20s, as an artist, socialite, jetsetter, muse, and patroness of the Harlem Renaissance. In 1921 she started an independent arts journal called “Music and Poetry,” where the charming piano solo Nora’s Dance was first published. I think the piece captures beautifully, in a little under 2 minutes, the energy and excitement of those heady years.In 1926, Nora left New York to travel the world, performing in nightclubs throughout Europe and Asia. She put her belongings in storage before she left, and when she came back she discovered that many of her things had been stolen, including more than 200 of her musical compositions. She never composed again.When the Depression hit, she moved out to Los Angeles, where she studied music education at USC, taught music in the LA public schools, and opened her own beauty salon. She returned to New York in the ’40s and worked as a music critic for several major newspapers, then launched yet another career, this time in broadcasting. Her popular radio concert series “Nora Holt’s Concert Showcase” broadcast to New York’s classical music audience, with a focus on Black composers and performers.Ahead of her time, larger than life, full of ideas…. I am so pleased to introduce you to the feisty and free spirited Nora Douglas Holt!

The seaside, a blue lagoon under the sun… Only some birds disrupt tranquillity, but then leave by the evening. An idyllic vision illustrated by the sound of young violinists.
Composer Pascal Proust has many years of experience as a musician and music teacher. His work includes several hundred compositions for the most diverse instrumentations. He wrote Sea Blue for violinists with an ability of approximately 3 4 years’ experience. He paid special attention to an easy-to-follow, attractive musical style. Sea Blue is an ideal performance or competition work for young musicians.

De kustlijn, een blauwe lagune onder de zon… Enkel het gefluit van vogels onderbreekt deze stilte, maar verdwijnt weer tegen de avond. Een idyllische gedachte ge llusteerd door de klank van de jonge violist.
De componist Pascal Proust kan bogen op een jarenlange ervaring als muzikant en muziekdocent. Zijn oeuvre omvat honderden composities voor de meest diverse instrumentaties. Hij schreef Sea Blue voor violisten die ongeveer drie tot vier jaar les hebben gehad, waarbij hij speciaal aandacht heeft besteed aan een makkelijk te volgen, aantrekkelijke muziekstijl. Daardoor is Sea Blue een ideaal voordrachts- of wedstrijdstuk voor jonge muzikanten.

Am Meer, eine blaue Lagune in der Sonne ... Nur ein paar Vögel stören diese friedliche Stille, aber sie brechen wieder auf, als es Abend wird. Ein idyllisches Bild, das durch die Klänge der jungen Geiger veranschaulicht wird.
Der Komponist Pascal Proust kann aus seiner langjährigen Erfahrung als Musiker und Musikpädagoge schöpfen, sein Oeuvre umfasst mehrere hundert Kompositionen für verschiedenste Besetzungen. Er schrieb Sea Blue für Geiger mit ungefähr 3 4 Jahren Unterrichtserfahrung und legte besonderes Augenmerk auf einen leicht verständlichen, attraktiven musikalischen Stil. Dadurch eignet sich Sea Blue ideal als Vortrags- und Wettbewerbsstück fürjunge Musiker.

Un bord de mer, un lagon bleu sous le soleil … Seuls quelques oiseaux viennent troubler cette quiétude, mais repartent le soir venu. Un tableau idyllique illustré par le son de jeunes violonistes.
Le compositeur Pascal Proust puise volonté dans son immense expérience de musicien et professeur de musique - son catalogue d’œuvres englobe plusieurs centaines de compositions pour divers instruments. Il a notamment écrit Sea Blue pour violonistes ayant environ 3 4 années de pratique, dans un style musical accessible et coloré. De ce fait, Sea Blue est la pièce idéale pour tout examen ou audition de jeunes musiciens.

Brass Band - Grade 4

SKU: BT.AMP-335-030

Composed by Philip Sparke. Ceremonial Series. March. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 2012. Anglo Music Press #AMP 335-030. Published by Anglo Music Press (BT.AMP-335-030).

9x12 inches. English-German-French-Dut ch.

Marcho Brioso was commissioned by The Brioso Brass, a British-style brass band from Hokkaido, Japan. They gave the first performance in January 2012.The commission was for a bright and breezy march that the band could use as their theme tune, so Marcho Brioso falls into the composer’s series of Broadway-style marches, which includes Slipstream, The Bandwagon and Jubiloso. After a short introduction a solo cornet plays the main theme, accompanied by a euphonium counter-melody. A secondary phrase from the horns and baritones leads to a tutti version of the main theme which is followed by the traditional ‘bass’ strain. A change of key heralds thetrio section, which features a cantabile melody on euphonium; this is then taken up by the full band after a short bridge passage and further change of key.This takes us back to the home key which sees a quiet staccato version of the main theme lead to a recapitulation and a short coda which brings the march to a close.

Marcho Brioso is geschreven in opdracht van The Brioso Brass, een brassband in Britse stijl uit Hokkaido in Japan. De première vond plaats in januari 2012.De componist kreeg het verzoek een vrolijke, luchtige mars te schrijven die de band als herkenningstune zou kunnen gebruiken. Marcho Brioso past daarom uitstekend in Philip Sparke’s serie van marsen in Broadwaystijl - waarin ook Slipstream, The Bandwagon en Jubiloso thuishoren.

Mar cho Brioso wurde von The Brioso Brass, einer britisch geprägten Brass Band aus Hokkaido in Japan, in Auftrag gegeben. Das Stück wurde von der Band im Januar 2012 uraufgeführt.Gewüns cht war ein heiterer, flotter Marsch, welcher sich als Erkennungsmelodie der Brass Band eignen sollte. So fällt Marcho Brioso in die Reihe der Märsche des Komponisten im Broadway-Stil, zu denen auch Slipstream, The Bandwagon und Jubiloso zählen.Nach einer kurzen Einleitung spielt ein Solo-Cornet das Hauptthema, begleitet von einer Gegenmelodie im Euphonium. Die Nebenphrase in den Hörnern und Baritonen führen zu einer Tutti-Version des Hauptthemas, die vomtraditionellen Bass“-Solo abgelöst wird. Ein Tonartwechsel kündigt den Trio-Teil an, der eine cantabile gespielte Melodie auf dem Euphonium enthält; diese wiederum wird nach einer kurzen Überleitung und einem weiteren Tonartwechsel von der gesamten Band aufgegriffen.Der letzte Wechsel führt zurück zur ursprünglichen Tonart, in welcher dann eine Staccato-Version des Hauptthemas eine Rekapitulation hervorbringt sowie eine Coda, die den Marsch zu seinem Ende führt.

Marcho Brioso est une œuvre de commande pour le Brioso Brass, un Brass Band de style britannique basé Hokkaido, au Japon. La création mondiale de cette pièce eut lieu en janvier 2012.L’orchestre souhaitant une marche enjouée qui pourrait lui servir d’indicatif musical, Marcho Brioso s’inscrit dans la lignée des marches du compositeur : Jubiloso, Slipstream et The Bandwagon. Un style « broadwayien », des motifs fortement syncopés et quelques surprenantes et capricieuses mesures viennent troubler le rythme régulièrement cadencé de ces marches.Après une courte introduction, le cornet solo joue le thème principal, accompagné d’un contre-chant l’euphonium. Un second motif de huit mesures exécuté par les cors et les barytons mène une version tutti du thème principal. Puis une brève section intermédiaire est déléguée aux basses. Le changement de tonalité qui s’ensuit annonce le trio qui contient une mélodie cantabile confiée l’euphonium ; ce trio est ensuite repris par l’orchestre entier après un bref passage de transition et un autre changement de tonalité.Nous revenons ensuite la tonalité de départ pour un rappel du thème principal en une paisible version staccato et une courte coda, pour conclure cette marche brillante et sémillante.
