Moonlight Serenade was composed in 1939, by Glenn Miller in his typically American big-band style. It was an immediate success and it even became the signature tune of Glenn Miller. The catchy melody has since been used in various films and television series. It has been performed in many styles, from romantic to swinging. The Flanders Recorder Quartet likes to play this work with a low recorder consort: tenor, F bass, C bass, great bass (each instrument then plays an octave lower). This gives the work a slightly “close harmony” feel. Of course the more usual line-up also does the music justice.

Moonli ght Serenade is in 1939 gecomponeerd door Glenn Miller in zijn typisch Amerikaanse Bigbandstijl. De aanstekelijke melodie is in verschillende films en televisieseries gebruikt. In Frankrijk is de song populair gewordenonder de titel Dansez maintenant (1975) - in een uitvoering van Dave. Het Flanders Recorder Quartet speelt dii werk graag in laag blokfluitconsort: tenor, F-bas, C-bas, grootbas (elk instrument speelt dan een octaaf lager). Zo ontstaateen lichte close-harmonystijl. De muziek komt in de gebruikelijke bezetting natuurlijk ook uitstekend tot haar recht.

Moonligh t Serenade wurde 1939 von Glenn Miller in dem ihm eigenen, typisch amerikanischen Big-Band-Stil komponiert. Es wurde schon in vielen Stilen - von romantisch bis Swing - interpretiert. Das Flanders Recorder Quartet aus Belgien, dessen Mitglied und Arrangeur Paul van Loey diese Bearbeitung schrieb, spielt das Stück gerne mit einem tiefen Blockflötenensemble: Tenor-, F-Bass-, C-Bass- und Großbassblockflöte (wobei jedes Instrument eine Oktave tiefer spielt). Dies verleiht dem Werk eine Art Close Harmony“-Gefühl. Aber auch die übliche Besetzung wird der Musik vollkommen gerecht.

Glenn Miller (1904-1944) fut l’un des plus grands chefs d’orchestre de swing américains de son temps. Le son mythique du prestigieux Glenn Miller Orchestra mêlant swing, jazz et improvisation est, aujourd’hui encore, célèbre dans le monde entier. Glenn Miller reste pour le public une véritable légende et ses airs les plus célèbres sont dans toutes les mémoires. En 1939, Glenn Miller composa Moonlight Serenade, une pièce dont l’idiome sonore est typique du style Big Band américain. Il présenta sa création pour la première fois sur la face B du disque Sunrise Serenade. Le succès fut immédiat. La mélodie fit l’objet de nombreuses reprises notamment au cinéma et latélévision.

Nel 1939, Glenn Miller compose Moonlight Serenade, un brano dal linguaggio sonoro tipico dello stile big band americano. Esistono oggi numerose varianti stilistiche di questo brano. Il quartetto di flauto dolce delle Fiandre privilegia suonarlo con strumenti che si sviluppano nei registri gravi: flauti dolci tenori, basso in Fa, basso in Do e un grande basso. Il brano rivela così una struttura in close harmony. E' anche possibile eseguire il brano con un ensemble strutturato in maniera più tradizionale.

Sahar a is an exciting programmatic work for concert band that musically paints a picture of a fantastical desert crossing in three contrasting sections. The first section depicts a large caravan moving across the giant dunes. The second section describes a visit to a palace in a mystical oasis city. The third section brings the piece to an epic close as the caravan outruns a sandstorm to reach their final destination. Performance Notes You may use a set of congas in addition to or in lieu of the dumbek part to bring out that pitched drum sound. At m. 4, emphasize the accented quarter notes in the horns and euphonium. Measures 17-26, make sure that the sixteenth note marimba part is heard clearly. In measures 48-92, this entire middle section may be played in a rubato style at the director's discretion to achieve maximum musical expression. Be sure to emphasize the crescendo-decrescendo dynamics in this entire section. In measures 56-61, be sure that the syncopated flute and clarinet parts are heard clearly. and the flute and oboe are heard as well mm. 76-81. The descending eighth notes in the bass clarinet and tuba part should be brought out in mm. 76-81. Measures 109-112, make sure to bring out the trills in the Flute and oboe parts and sustain them all the way through the measure with a release immediately on beat 1 of the following measure. And finally, mm. 125-126, emphasize the F Horn and Alto Saxophone parts.

The Quest aims to take the listener on an epic musical journey. Beginning with a sweeping cinematic melody that is restated at the conclusion of the piece, the music transitions into an up-tempo section that features a catchy ostinato bass pattern, and gives your percussion section a chance to shine. The slower middle section features the woodwinds, before expanding the simple chorale into the rest of the band. The final section of the piece sees a restatement of the adventure theme before accelerating into a rousing conclusion that will make for an exciting concert closer. Make sure that all dynamic crescendos and decrescendos are very pronounced in the performance of the piece. Take care not to let the ostinato bass pattern overpower the melody. The slow section beginning at m. 61 may be conducted in a rubato style for maximum musical expression. The tempo at m. 103 may be taken faster or slower than the marked tempo according to the skill level of the band.
