After he had survived a heavy sea storm, John Newton (1725-1807), captain of a slave ship, became a priest and from then on he fought for the abolition of slavery. During his tenure he wrote several hymns, of which Amazing Grace certainly is the best known. The melody assumedly derives from a song by the African slaves. Takashi Hoshide has written a compelling arrangement of this beautiful melody.

Nachdem er einen heftigen Seesturm glücklich überlebt hatte, wurde John Newton (1725-1807), der bis dato Kapitän eines Sklavenschiffs gewesen war, Pfarrer und kämpfte fortan für die Abschaffung der Sklaverei. Während seiner Amtszeit schrieb er mehrere Kirchenlieder, von denen Amazing Grace sicherlich das bekannteste ist. Vermutlich stammt die Melodie von einem Lied der afrikanischen Sklaven. Takashi Hoshide schuf ein unwiderstehliches Arrangement für Blasorchester dieser schönen Melodie.

Après avoir survécu une violente tempête en mer, John Newton (1725-1807), marin de commerce et capitaine de navire négrier, devient pasteur et lutte pour l’abolition de l’esclavage. Durant son ministère, il écrivit plusieurs hymnes, dont l’intemporel Amazing Grace. Il est fort probable que l’air vienne d’une mélodie chantée par des esclaves africains. L’arrangement de Takashi Hoshide est purement irrésistible.

Dopo essere sopravissuto ad una violenta tempesta in mare, John Newton (1725-1807), capitano della propria nave e mercante di schiavi, divenne pastore e cominciò a battersi per l’abolizione della schiavitù. Scrisse diversi inni, il più celebre dei quali è Amazing Grace. L’aria è probabilmente ripresa da una melodia cantata dagli schiavi.

Natha niel Dett was among America’s leading composers in the early 20th century, and MAGNOLIA SUITE is a beautiful example of his rich, hybrid style. Deeply inspired by the music and mission of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, Dett’s piano music springs from the late Romantic traditions of florid texture and embellishment, along with programmatic titles and raw emotion. It is notable for melody writing inspired by and paraphrasing African-American song. The 18-minute MAGNOLIA SUITE contains five movements, any of which may also be performed separately. This edition by Lara Downes provides a clean, new engraving that corrects the many errors and unclear indications appearing in the historical printing.
Robert Nathaniel Dett was born in a place that was built on freedom. The little village of Drummondville, Ontario was founded by enslaved Africans – Dett’s ancestors among them – who traveled the Underground Railroad out of the American South into Canada. Their journey brought them to a safe haven, a place where fortunes and futures could be transformed in the span of one generation, to lives full of new possibilities. You could call it “the place where the rainbow ends,” which is the title of the last movement of Dett’s Magnolia Suite.When Dett wrote these pieces, he was a young teacher at Lane College in Tennessee, a historically Black college that had been founded in 1882, the year of his birth. A place built on freedom, with the purpose of educating newly-emancipated slaves – a place designed to nurture the blossoming of ideas, the vibrant flowering of minds set free. This music is inspired by the gorgeous splendor of the magnolia blooms on that college campus, and also by the shared histories, experiences, and aspirations of the community that Dett found there.These five pieces pay affectionate tribute to lineage and legacy. They express gratitude for the bittersweet beauties of the present; nostalgia for the past (a bit romanticized, as the past always is); and an effervescent optimism for the future that awaits us in the place where the rainbow ends.

String Thang by Mark Wood is based on the twelve-bar blues. The blues has deep roots in American history, developed out of the work songs and chants of African-American slaves. The Great Migration of the first half of the 20th century saw freed slaves and their descendants move to northern and eastern parts of the U.S., taking their music with them. The blues took on different forms; in turn it helped to create rock, jazz, hip-hop, and other popular genres. A twelve-bar blues uses a repeating chord progression which allows musicians to express themselves creatively with each recurrence. If anything defines the blues, it is the use of blue notes---pitches that don't usually belong in a given key---and elements of improvisation.
