Par SPARKE PHILIP. The Hanover Wind Symphony, New Jersey, USA was founded in 1984 by its conductor Peter Boor. He commissioned HANOVER FESTIVAL to celebrate the band’s 15th Birthday and the first performance took place on October 27th 1999. The piece starts with a solemn brass fanfare. Woodwinds join in and the music subsides into an expressive chorale. A climax is reached and the fanfare returns.…

Commissioned by the Dean and Chapter of Guildford to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the consecration of the Cathedral, The Holy Spirit sets a text by the poet and novelist Evelyn Underhill with masterful word-painting. Although there is some organ accompaniment, most of the work is a cappella with varying moods and textures to reflect the highly descriptive text. Contrasting with the gentle ope…

Par ROELS STIJN. Prelude and Chorale est une scintillante et dynamique pièce d’ouverture, basée sur le brillant final d’une oeuvre écrite antérieurement, Aureus. La nouvelle composition s’articule autour d’un hymne splendide qui constitue également le fil conducteur de cette ouverture. Comme le suggère le titre, le morceau débute par un «prélude» moderne : un prologue de l’hymne actuel. Les premiè…

Par CAMPOGRANDE NICOLA. The score is inspired by the urban gardens that are becoming a new, exciting presence in our cities. In such a setting I imagined the piano as an urban memory and the string trio as a green, vegetal presence that surrounds it. Doing that, I created in my mind three special places to develop the different movements of the score. The first is indeed ideally On a Concert Hall …

Par MC CARTNEY PAUL. A Leaf is Paul McCartney's second composition in the classical idiom. Completed in 1994, A Leaf was conceived for the intimate resources of a solo piano. McCartney gratefully acknowledges the invaluable contribution of John Fraser in bringing this work to fruition. Its seven linked movements are for the most part reflective in character, expanding into bravura passages which t…

Par DOBSON SIMON. Torsion was commissioned by the Leyland Band and first performed on 23 January 2010 at the Royal Northern College of Music Festival of Brass, Manchester, by Leyland Band conducted by Jason Katsikaris. This colourful and dynamic work is the most personal and ambitious that Simon Dobson composed during his residency with the Lancashire brass band. The dictionary defines torsion as …

A Chorale about Love. Par ROELS STIJN. Close est un choral qui chante les louanges d?un thème universel : l?amour. Les gens qui nous sont chers sont ceux que nous aimons avoir auprès de nous, afin de pouvoir les serrer dans nos bras de temps en temps. C?était particulièrement difficile pendant la période où sévissait le COVID ? une privation que de nombreuses personnes ressentaient profondément. L…

Par VAN DER ROOST JAN. Spartacus is a 'Symphonic Tone Poem' with 3 joints. Each section has its own melodical materials, however: in the final movement the main theme from the second section returns in a 'grandioso'-tutti. The last bar but one recaptures the 'oriental' atmosphere of the very beginning. The first section (= from the beginning till J) builds up a climax by repeating and accumulating…

Par SPARKE PHILIP. Elegy: Echoes of Lives Past (Élégie : Échos de vies d?antan) est l?une des deux pièces commandées par Koninklijke Fanfare Kempenbloei Achel (dirigée par Ivan Meylemans) dans le cadre de son programme pour le Concours « World Music Contest 2022», qui s?est tenu à Kerkrade, aux Pays-Bas.

Par VAN DER ROOST JAN. Jan Van der Roost originally composed each and every note of ‘Slavia’ (as in case in ‘Puszta’, ‘Rikudim’ and ‘A Highland Rhapsody’). Consequently, ‘Slavia’ does not contain any arrangement of existing tunes, but is an original composition ‘in the style of…’. The introduction has an ABA structure and exposes a broad melodic line. Following a short cadenza, there is a second m…
