From the call of the open seas to the wistful dance section, this piece will open the imagination of your students and audiences.  Very playable by young bands, the piece features a short opening ostinato that develops into a tone cluster and leads to the ominous sounds of the brass and percussion, which depict the slow lumbering ship on the dangerous, open waters. The piece continues through a more lyrical second section before a dramatic return of the opening material to close out this contest/festival style piece.

This leads to the ominous sounds of the brass and percussion, which depict the slow lumbering ship on the dangerous, open waters. After a quickly paced melody in the low register for the clarinets, the piece gives way to an exciting tutti section that features horns and saxes on an answering countermelody.The second section is a dance that starts with low reeds and a flute solo, but develops into a full band Spanish-sounding dance, with melody in many different places. The recap is a reverse of the beginning section and again loosely represents the danger of life on the high seas.The short ostinato that is used at the beginning and in some transitional moments is based on the beginning notes of Irish Tune from County Derry, a favorite of J. C. Sykes, who this piece honors. Mr. Sykes gave a lifetime to teaching music to band students in North Carolina. The first four notes in clarinet 1, the first four in flute 1 and the first four in clarinet 2 make up the first phrase from that beautiful melody. Just something to get students thinking about composition in a new way.

Fanfare Band - Grade 2

SKU: BT.GOB-000332-020

Composed by Andreas Ludwig Schulte. Set (Score & Parts). 75 pages. Gobelin Music Publications #GOB 000332-020. Published by Gobelin Music Publications (BT.GOB-000332-020).

The atmosphere of the Wild West is caught in a striking and most imaginative way by young composer Andreas Schulte in this work.
A caravan of gold- and fortuneseekers launch themselves into a big adventure and begin their rush westward.

The first movement desciribes these first days of buoyancy and optimism in a crisp march.
Near the campfire the pioneers rest themselves, and the music expresses feelings of romance, nostalgia for the past and hopes for the future.
A wistful melody very characteristically communicates these feelings.
Relaxation takes place in the third movement which is a musical characterization of a rodeo and its attendant festivities.
It is obvious that sometimes something goes wrong and this aspect can also be heard.
Nevertheless, the valiant rider wins in the end.
With a flashback to the beginning, the journey is completed musically, thus giving the composition a dignified finale.

Let the mystic Wild West entrance you. (Wagons ho ....!!) De sfeer van het Wilde Westen wordt door de jonge componist Andreas Ludwig Schulte op een uiterst treffende en beeldende wijze geschetst.
Een karavaan van goud- en gelukzoekers stort zich in het grote avontuur en begint de grote reis naar het westen.

Het eerste gedeelte beschrijft de eerste dagen van opgewektheid en optimisme in een vlotte mars.
Bij het kampvuur komen de pioniers tot rust en worden gevoelens van romantiek, heimwee (verleden) en hoop (toekomst) muzikaal weergegeven.
Een weemoedige melodie verwoordt die gevoelens op een zeer kenmerkende wijze.
De ontspanning vindt plaats in het derde deel waarin een rodeofeest muzikaal wordt verklankt.
Met een flashback van het begin wordt de tocht voltooid en de compositie waardig afgesloten.

Raak in de ban van het wilde westen!

SKU: CL.032-4881-00

Composed by Jr. Vuono. Jazz Ensemble. Jazz Festival. Score and set of parts. Composed 2020. Duration 3 minutes, 47 seconds. C.L. Barnhouse #032-4881-00. Published by C.L. Barnhouse (CL.032-4881-00).

It’s Awf’ly Nice Just Walkin’ With You is a beautiful ballad from the trusted pen of Rob Vuono, Jr., showcasing your lead tenor as well as the entire band. A wistful melody strolls across a lovely chord progression at a leisurely pace, as varied tone colors of velvety bucket-muted brass and lushly harmonized sax solis brilliantly combine to give this chart all of the hallmarks of a classic standard. A warm tenor sax solo (written solo provided) is featured after the first presentation of the song, with easy-going backgrounds adding subtle support. The brass mutes are removed momentarily as the chart progresses to a shout chorus that builds smoothly to its zenith, and then decisively leads to a coda that features effective linear writing between each section of the ensemble. Sure to be a favorite with the band and audience alike, add It’s Awf’ly Nice Just Walkin’ With You to your next concert or contest!

String Quartet - intermediate

SKU: BT.DHP-1175850-070

Composed by Henry Mancini. Arranged by Nico Dezaire. De Haske Pops for String Quartet. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 2017. 8 pages. De Haske Publications #DHP 1175850-070. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-1175850-070).

Moon River was written especially for Audrey Hepburn to sing and originally featured on the soundtrack for the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The song has been covered by many other artists and has remained well-known for many years. This love song to a river also makes a wonderful instrumental work, especially so on stringed instruments. Nico Dezaire’s sensitive arrangement for string quartet gives each member of the ensemble the opportunity to play the wistful melody.

Het speciaal voor Audrey Hepburn geschreven nummer Moon River maakte oorspronkelijk deel uit van de soundtrack voor de film Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Al snel werd het echter door vele zangers en zangeressen gecoverd en ontpopte het zich blijvend tot een wereldwijde hit. Dit liefdesliedje voor een rivier is ook een heerlijk instrumentaal werkje, vooral voor strijkinstrumenten. Nico Dezaires gevoelige arrangement voor strijkkwartet geeft elk lid van het ensemble de gelegenheid om de weemoedige melodie te spelen.

Moon River war ursprünglich Teil des Soundtracks zum Hollywood-Klassiker Breakfast at Tiffany's und der jungen Audrey Hepburn auf den Leib geschrieben. Schon bald wurde der Song von zahlreichen Sängern gecovert und trat so seinen Siegeszug um die Welt an, der bis heute anhält. Diese musikalische Liebeserklärung an einen Fluss lässt sich natürlich auch bestens instrumental darstellen, besonders schön auf Streichinstrumenten. Nico Dezaire lässt in seinem einfühlsamen Arrangement für Streichquartett jeden der vier Musiker an der sehnsuchtsvollen Melodie teilhaben.

Moon River a été écrit spécialement pour Audrey Hepburn et figure sur la bande originale du film Diamants sur canapé. Peu après, la chanson s’est vue reprise par de nombreux artistes, et est ainsi devenue le succès mondial qu’elle reste toujours. Cette chanson d’amour pour une rivière se prête aussi une interprétation instrumentale, particulièrement par des instruments cordes. Cet arrangement délicat de Nico Dezaire pour quatuor cordes permet chaque membre de l’ensemble de jouer la mélodie mélancolique.
