Par YAGISAWA SATOSHI. Beyond the Horizon est disponible en trois mouvements séparés qui peuvent chacun être interprétés indépendamment, mais qui s’enchaînent parfaitement pour former un tout homogène. Il est donc possible d’interpréter l’œuvre complète, mais aussi d’en exécuter un seul mouvement. Le premier, « Kure », reflète cette ville japonaise animée et ses environs. Le deuxième mouvement, « S…

Arr. Menno Haantjes. Par DE HAAN JACOB. This playful three-part suite is largely based on symmetry. This of course is largely due to the relations of the arrangement of the themes; however, on the other hand, to the larger structures in form. The first part, (Prelude et Scherzo) has a solemn opening. Followed by it a related scherzo with many changes in time, this too is composed in a symmetrical …

Par VAN DER ROOST JAN. In this colourful composition, Jan van der Roost recreates the energetic and multi-racial city life in Manhattan, using four contrasting movements. The opening movement is rather short and rhytmical. In the second “Picture”, a variety of musical entities accumulate into a coloured “sound curtain”, on top of which the brass section presents a broad theme. In contrast to the t…

Commissioned by New York City Opera, and with a libretto by Mark Campbell, the opera was written to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall uprising. This is an opera that captures the rage, grit, humour and, finally, hope of the LGBTQ community’s uprising in a Greenwich Village dance club on one ho…

Par HANNICKEL MIKE. Big and bold, yet very easy to play! This work for beginning players is named after the ancient Mayan city in Guatemala, and the music reflects the mystery of the ruins there. This one will come together very quickly, with simple rhythms and carefully considered ranges. There's even an optional advanced percussion part to add interest. / Niveau : 0.5 / Pièce de concert / Rép…
