For Cityscapes Jan de Haan used the metropolis of New York, the largest city of the United States, as a source of inspiration. In three movements he manages to capture some of the Big Apple’s defining characteristics, from the breathtaking view of the skyline and the hustle and bustle of Central Park, to the excitement experienced in this glamorous and striking city. Let the magic of New York shine with this dramatic new item for brass band.

Voor Cityscapes heeft de componist zich laten inspireren door de metropool New York, de grootste stad in de Verenigde Staten. Het eerste deel verklankt de skyline van de ‘Big Apple’. De grootse aanblik van onder andere Manhattan,Brooklyn Bridge en het Vrijheidsbeeld staat model voor het pakkende hoofdthema. In deel twee wordt de stemming van het Central Park voorgesteld. Dit immense park in New York is een plek voor ontspanning en vermaak. In het slotdeelvan dit drieluik staat het altijd bruisende Manhattan, bekend om de vele wolkenkrabbers en het financiële centrum, Wall Street, centraal. Een absolute aanrader!

Jan de Haans Quelle der Inspiration für Cityscapes war die Metropole New York, die größte Stadt der Vereinigten Staaten. In drei Sätzen gelang es ihm, einige charakteristische Merkmale des Big Apples“ einzufangen: der großartige Anblick der Skyline von Manhattan, Brooklyn Bridge und der Freiheitsstatue, die Stimmung des berühmten Central Park und das pulsierende Leben in dieser glitzernden, eindrucksvollen Metropole. Absolut hörenswert!

Cityscapes (“Paysages urbains”) est une œuvre inspirée d’une série d’impressions et de paysages de la métropole de New York, la plus grande ville des États-Unis.Dans le premier mouvement, l’impressionnante ligne d’horizon de « La Grosse Pomme » s’étire devant nous. Manhattan, le pont de Brooklyn et la Statue de la Liberté sont l’essence du thème principal. Les dernières mesures de ce premier mouvement font référence la célèbre Symphonie n° 9 dite « du Nouveau Monde » que le compositeur tchèque Antón Dvorák composa lors d’un séjour New York.Le second mouvement est consacré Central Park, l’immense parc new-yorkais construit au XIXe siècle, etdestiné aux loisirs, au divertissement et la relaxation. Plusieurs b timents célèbres, tels que le Metropolitan Museum of Art, jalonnent Central Park.Le troisième et dernier mouvement de ce triptyque dépeint l’esprit bouillonnant de Manhattan, quartier célèbre pour abriter d’impressionnants gratte-ciel et la Bourse de Wall Street. La musique palpite au rythme du trafic intense et suit le tourbillon d’activité tumultueux. Elle décrit également les immenses buildings comme l'Empire State Building.

For Cityscapes, the composer used the metropolis of New York, the largest city of the United States, as a source of inspiration. The first movement mirrors the skyline of the ‘Big Apple’. In movement two, Central Park is introduced and in the closing movement of this triptych, the ever-sparkling Manhattan, known for its many skyscrapers, and its financial centre Wall Street, is the focal point. Not only are the busy city traffic and the chaotic hustle and bustle expressed in the music, but also the impressive buildings, including the famous Empire State Building. Let the magic of New York shine with this dramatic new item for brass band.

One of the most beautiful songs ever written. Philip Sparke’s sumptuous arrangement of this Stephen Foster classic will make a perfect item to bring a few minutes of peace and calm tranquillity to any concert. The lush harmonies, so characteristic of Philip Sparke’s arranging, are augmented with exquisite solo figures for cornet and flugel horn. Once you have played this you will want it on every concert programme.

Veel van de songs van Stephen Collins Foster (1826-1864), die onder meer Oh! Susannah, My Old Kentucky Home en Beautiful Dreamer schreef, waren erop gericht de zwarte Amerikaanse slaven een menselijker gezichtte geven. Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair schreef hij echter naar aanleiding van de afwezigheid van zijn vrouw toen hij in New York en zij in Pittsburgh woonde. De melancholie van de song komt in dit arrangement van PhilipSparke prachtig naar voren.

Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair stammt von Stephen Foster, der im 19. Jahrhundert in Amerika lebte und zahlreiche heute noch bekannte Lieder komponierte. Viele seiner Lieder handeln von der Befreiung der Sklaven, dieses Lied widmete er jedoch seiner Frau während einer langen, unfreiwilligen Trennung von Ihr. Mit Philip Sparkes sensibler Bearbeitung für Brass Band springt der Funke des romantischen Liedes garantiert auf Musiker und Publikum über!

There is a popular misconception that Stephen Collins Foster (1826—1864) found success as a song-writer writing many of his songs aiming to ‘humanise’ the black American slaves. He was a meticulous worker and sometimes spent months perfecting the lyrics of a song. His first success was Oh! Susanna (1848) and as his popularity grew he moved with his young family to New York to be near his publishers. This was not a success and Jane, his wife and Marion, his daughter, moved back to Pittsburgh in 1854. Foster wrote Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair as a result of her continued absence. Philip Sparke’s arrangement of this beautiful song will make an excellent slowinterlude in any concert.

Nordanvind is a tour de force symphonic rhapsody that is built on three Scandinavian folk songs. Composer Carl Strommen has composed these Viking-influenced melodies into a concert setting that brings out all of the history of the Scandinavian people. The piece is at times bold and aggressive, at other times beautiful. Carl employs all of the instrumental colors of the concert band to create a new work for more advanced ensembles.
Modern Scandinavians are descendants of the Vikings, an adventuresome people who were known for their love of the sea, their naval prowess, and as fierce fighters . The Scandinavian Vikings were warriors from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden who traded, raided and settled in various parts of Europe, Russia, the North Atlantic islands, and the northeastern coast of North America .Starting around 1850, over one million Swedes left their homeland for the United States in search of religious freedom and open farm land . Augustana College was founded in 1860 by graduates of Swedish universities and is located on the Mississippi River in Rock Island, Illinois . Home of the “Vikings,” Augustana College is the oldest Swedish- American institution of higher learning in the United States . This powerful and lively piece takes inspiration from Swedish history and from Swedish folk songs and hymns .Havsdrake (Dragon of the Sea)The Nordanvind or “North Wind” blows a cold wind during a journey of a group of courageous Viking rowers . The “Dragon-ship” or long ships designed for raiding and war was a sophisticated, fast ship able to navigate in very shallow water . To musically portray these magnificent seafaring vessels, the director is encouraged to use an Ocean Drum (or a rain stick) during the introduction . Wind players may consider blowing air through their instruments to suggest the North wind . Adding men’s voices to accompany the haunting low brass and percussive “rower” sounds can be helpful in creating the dark and ominous portrayal of Viking adventurers .Slangpolska efter Byss - KalleIn Sweden, a “polska” is a partner dance where the dancers spin each other (släng in Swedish “to sling or toss”) . Slangpolska efter Byss - Kalle is attributed to Byss-Kalle, who was a notable Swedish folk musician, specifically a nyckelharpa player . Slangpolska efter Byss - Kalle is a traditional “polska” dance song most often played on the Nyckelharpa or keyed fiddle and is commonly heard in pubs and at festive events throughout Sweden . Approximately 10,000 nyckelharpa players live in Sweden today, and the Swedish and the American Nyckelharpa Associations are dedicated to this Swedish National instrument . The director is encouraged to share video and audio examples of the nyckelharpa playing the original Slangpolska efter Byss - Kalle .Tryggare Kan Ingen Vara (Children of the Heavenly Father)Tryggare Kan Ingen Vara Is a traditional Swedish melody, possibly of German roots, and was believed to be arranged as a hymn by the Swedish hymn writer, Karolina Wilhelmina Sandell-Berg (1832–1903) . As a daughter of a Swedish Lutheran minister, she began writing poems as a teenager and is said to have written over 1,700 different texts . There are two different accounts as to the inspiration for this hymn . The first story is that Lina (as she was called) wrote the hymn to honor her father and to say thank you to him for raising her and protecting her . A second belief is of her witnessing the tragic death of her father . She and her father were on a boat, when a wave threw her father overboard . It was said that the profound effect of watching her father drown is what caused Lina to write the text to this hymn . Although this is a treasured song to people of Swedish descent everywhere, it speaks to all people about a father tending and nourishing his children, and protecting them from evil .SPS71FThe Augustana College Concert BandFounded in 1874, the Augustana Band program is one of the oldest continuously active collegiate band programs in the country . The Concert Band is one of two bands on campus and was formed more than thirty years ago . The Concert Band attracts students of every skill level and from a wide variety of majors . Students in the ensemble play a large part in choosing their music for performance, which include works from the standard repertoire, orchestral transcriptions, and the latest compositions from leading composers .Rick Jaeschke began his musical career as a clarinet player in the 1st US Army Band .
