This elegant and nostalgic piece depicts gentle snow falling as twilight fades on a winter's eve. The legato theme is heard in several sections, featuring a flowing accompaniment with modal shifts as players alternate between F-sharp and F-natural. Rich harmonies, slurs, and sustained pedal-tone pitches allow students to work on playing with good tone and bow control. The contrasting staccato section sparkles like snowflakes in the golden sun, with easy meter changes and a playful syncopated feel. In a quiet finale, the piece ends with a soft diminuendo reflecting the last rays of sunlight, vanishing over the darkening horizon.

Marco Reghezza: Como Preludio
Marco Smaili: Preludio
Alessand ro Spazzoli: Preludio in Do maggiore
Roberto Tagliamacco: Prelude sur le nom de Tarrega
Paolo Ugoletti: Prelude sur le nom de Tarrega

Having been invited several times onto the jury of the prestigious Certamen Tarrega in Benicasim, I thought I would involve a few composers in a gift to the father of the modern guitar. So I asked the composers to write a Prelude of the kind that Tarrega wrote and which count among his most significant compositions.
These Preludes for Tarrega, all written between August and November 2015, are very different from each other. The common feature, however, between these and the Preludes by Tarrega is their brevity, an average level of performance difficulty and guaranteed easy listening, even when written in a non-tonal language (like the meditative and melancholy piece by Emilio Calandin and the one by Marco Smaili, with its Impressionistic feel reminding one of Tarrega's most famous pupil, Miguel Llobet).
In some Preludes (the ones by Paolo Ugoletti, Roberto Tagliamacco, Claudia Montero) the reference to Lagrima, one of Tarrega's most famous Preludes, is evident in form, title and some citations. Ugoletti and Tagliamacco work well and expressively on harmony and counterpoint, while the Argentinian Claudia Montero links Tarrega to a heartbreaking Buenos Aires...
In Alessandro Spazzoli there is rather more a connection with Tarrega's sense of melody and deep simplicity, while Marco Reghezza remembers ironically what was brewing in European music when Tarrega was alive: in fact, his Como Preludio goes across the 24 keys - and even a reference to Wagner's Tristan raises its head...
I am delighted for this volume to come out at the time of the fiftieth edition of the Certamen Tarrega.
(Piero Bonaguri).

Barn Dance Saturday Night depicts the gathering of hometown country folks for a square dance. Different from a rousing fiddle tune, in that the tempo is a bit more reserved, it is happy music that will be fun to play and will delight your audiences.
I wrote this piece several years ago for one of my groups which met during the last period of the day. They loved to play what they called “Happy Music,” because it perked them up and they left school in a good mood. The arrangement I wrote then was quite group specific; this version should fit most orchestras very well, and itspreads the melody around more.This work is not intended to be intimidating or profound in the least but, instead, should evoke smiles. However, that does not mean that it should be played in a sloppy manner or without a diligent attitude. The staccatos are very important. Players should take special care not to clamp down on the bow with their bow holds in order to make the notes short; they can be executed by using relaxed wrist andfingers alone, if that is what the teacher wants their players to be learning while preparing this piece. There should be only good tone on those notes, and accents should not be added where not indicated unless instructed to do so by the teacher.There are notes in this piece with a tenuto mark (full value, but clearly defined) AND a staccato mark (separated). I want these notes to be clearly enunciated; not short, but not sustained into the next note, either. The key to doing this well may come in m. 48, where the basses and cellos must make a retake going into m. 49. The length of the quarter notes in m. 44 should match the length of the quarter notes in m. 48.

While composing this beautiful chorale, Hayato Hirose was inspired by the fond memory of the pre-marital days he spent with his beloved wife, Minako.The chorale starts with gorgeous woodwinds, after which the brass section is gradually added to enhance the atmosphere. The main theme is repeated and developed in several different keys in the middle section, followed by the recapitulation and the romantic coda that concludes the work. Moment Musical gives any concert programme a touch of warmth and tenderness.

De inspiratiebron voor het schrijven van dit prachtige koraal vond Hayato Hirose in zijn aangename herinnering aan de verlovingstijd die hij doorbracht met Minako, zijn geliefde echtgenote. Het koraal begint met een prachtige passagein het hout, waarna de kopersectie langzaam wordt toegevoegd voor nog meer sfeer. Het hoofdthema wordt herhaald en ontwikkelt zich in verschillende toonsoorten in de middenstem, gevolgd door de reprise en het romantische codawaarmee het werk eindigt. Moment Musical geeft elk concertprogramma een vleugje warmte en tederheid.

Zu diesem wunderschönen Choral ließ sich Hayato Hirose von der Erinnerung an die Zeit der Hochzeit mit seiner geliebten Frau Minako inspirieren. Moment Musical setzt mit prächtigen Holzbläsern ein, dann wird die Stimmung nach und nach von den Blechbläsern unterstützt. Das Hauptthema wird in mehreren unterschiedlichen Tonarten im mittleren Register wiederholt und entwickelt. Darauf folgen die Reprise und die romantische Coda, die das Werk beendet. Moment Musical verleiht jedem Konzertprogramm einen Hauch von Wärme und Zärtlichkeit.

C e choral aux lignes délicates et épurées débute avec ferveur. Les bois évoluent avec délicatesse et transparence, magnifiés par les cuivres qui se joignent élégamment au développement. Dans le passage central, le thème principal est exposé plusieurs reprises dans différentes tonalités. Une coda séduisante et romantique vient conclure la composition. Moment Musical est un délicieux flot de légèreté.

Questa corale dalle linee delicate inizia con fervore. I legni sviluppano con delicatezza e trasparenza, aiutati dagli ottoni che si uniscono allo sviluppo del tema. Nel passaggio centrale, il tema principale è esposto a più riprese in varie tonalit . Una coda seducente e romantica chiude il brano.

Keystone tells the story of the Odeon of Vriezenveen, a town in the Netherlands. “Odeon” is the name of ancient Greek and Roman buildings used for activities such as singing, music and poetry. This was the name chosen in 1998 by several members of the 'Vriezenveense Harmonie' for the cultural ceter they decided to have built. The piece starts slowly with the bass instruments, then speeds up in a counterpoint passage where the main motif moves from one set of instruments to another. After a slow section, the music speeds up again to reach a majestic chorale symbolising the splendid Odeon.
