Par VAN DER ROOST JAN. As The Curtain Closes est une composition solennelle rayonnant de noblesse et de fierté qui présente des challenges à tous les pupitres. Le thème principal du début est introduit par la flûte accompagnée de percussions étouffées. Bientôt, le climat se relâche et la musique se développe dans un optimisme grandissant pour aboutir à un climax majestueux qui s?achève sur un dern…

Par VAN DER ROOST JAN. In the most literal sense: a piece for an occasion. The actual occasion was Jan de Haan’s twentieth anniversary as a conductor of the top Dutch brass band, “Soli Deo Gloria” (Leeuwarden). To mark the occasion, the band commissioned the Belgian comopser Jan Van der Roost to create a surprise piece: without knowledge of the person being celebrated, a suitable source of inspira…

Par JARRELL MICHAEL. Composition works like an arborescent structure. At each ramification you choose a path, which depends on the whole dynamic of the whole piece. Doing this, you leave quite a lot of ideas and fragments behind. Nachlese is a german term already used by Goethe for the idea of 'reading again', referring to, commenting something... The idea of this cycle (Nachlese) is to come back…

Par SAINT-SAENS CAMILLE / NICHOLAS ELLIS CAMILLE (Arr.. Saint-Saëns’s Danse Macabre began life in 1874 as a song, then as a tone poem for full orchestra, and quickly became one of his most popular works. It conjures a midnight scene where Death himself plays the fiddle, summoning skeletons to dance until dawn. The music brims with wit and theatrical colour: eerie harp strokes mark the hour, a skel…

From Coppelia Ballet. Par DELIBES LEO. French composer Léo Delibes (1836-1891) was primarily known for his operettas and short comic operas. He was also famous for the ballet Coppelia from which arranger Wil van der Beek has transcribed the czardas for concert band. Characteristic of this work and the music of Delibes' in general are rhythmic, alternating melodies. Another trademark of Delibes' wo…

Après avoir entendu la mélodie de l'hymne 'Viens, tu Fount de toutes sortes de bénédictions', on est immédiatement frappé par la puissance de sa simplicité. Ce réglage conserve cette simplicité, alors que la refonte de l'air dans les harmonies fraîches et fournir un puissant climax tutti. (4,10) / Concert Band

Although quite some time has passed since the multifaceted organ music from Spain's Golden Age could be called an 'insider's tip?, it had yet to attain popularity with any wide audience outside the countries of the Iberian Peninsula. The three-volume Urtext edition of selected works by Joan Cabanilles, the cathedral organist from Valencia, now has every chance of becoming a milestone in its own ri…

Par HARVEY JONATHAN. The text of this work is by Bishop J Cosin, based on Veni Creator Spiritus. The music is based on a pentatonic chord throughout, and reflects the floating rhythms of plainchant. The piece builds to a wonderful and ecstatic climax using a set of aleatoric overlapping vocal phrases. Commissioned by 1984 Southern Cathedrals Festivaland first performed at Winchester Cathedral in J…

Par VAN DER ROOST JAN. This piece was commissioned by the ‘Concert Band Vlamertinge’ and is a plea for peace: the title translates as ‘Peace on Earth’. This is expressed by means of the vocal contribution expected from the performers. In various places of the piece you can recognize, the words ‘Et In Terra Pax’ - an appeal for peace - at first jumbled together but later more rhythmically structure…
