Arr. Timothy Johnson. Par BRAHMS JOHANNES. Brahms was known to be extremely careful when composing his music. When he decided to compose a symphony he wanted to be sure to exceed the standard that had been set by Beethoven. His first symphony, completed in 1876 when he was 43 years old, took several years to complete because of his attention to detail. This arrangement of the theme from the finale…

Par BALAZS ARPAD. Árpád Balázs (*1937) composed the first version of the work between 1994 and 1996 for tárogató and concert band. Since this traditional Hungarian instrument is rarely found in ensembles abroad, a soprano saxophone can serve as an alternative solo instrument. The composer uses melodies from the early 18th century, from the age of Rákóczi's war of independence. An ambitious framewo…

Par OGDEN NIGEL. Reflecting his admiration for the age of flying boats and Bakelite radios, the 'Art-Deco Suite' is an affectionate study in nostalgia - a trio of images from the 1920s and 30s set in music of timeless elegance. The first piece 'Ritzy', speaks for itself: classy, carefree and full of elite syncopations. 'Acacia Avenue', in contrast, is a miniature tone poem, its languidly flowing m…

Based on the well-known bible text 'Sing unto the Lord a new song? (Psalm 96:1-3), this upbeat composition with strong dynamics and flowing block chords alternating with fast-paced polyphony brings across this joyful message and enthuses singers. / Choeur TTBB

Par DANCLA CHARLES. The studies by Charles Dancla (1817–1907) are more than mere technical exercises. They demand a special sense of tone, an elegant, softly flowing and swinging way of playing. They challenge the violinist in all associated disciplines, such as staccato on an up- and downbow, arpeggios, double stop passages and rapid passages. Apart from that, Dancla again and again seeks the sof…

Song of Remembrance is an intermediate-level trio, written in equal parts. Some of the characteristics that make this piece so appealing include its nostalgic and tender tone, the constant motion through sixteenth and eighth notes, and few accidentals. This trio is largely legato, which creates flowing and dramatic lines that everyone will enjoy. / Piano 6 Mains

Par WENNAKOSKI LOTTA. Lotta Wennäkoski's Pige (2021-2022) for string quartet was commissioned to be paired with the Death and the Maiden quartet by Franz Schubert ('pige' is Danish for girl). The composer tells: 'The first movement Vorüber, ach, vorüber! is based on the first half of Schubert’s lied lying behind his The Death and the Maiden quartet. The ”maiden’s song” in the beginning of the li…

Voices fan out from a unison pitch and blossom into rich choral sonorities during the hushed introduction of this resplendent work. Next, an intense compound meter exposition is energized by the percussive piano part. In the flowing middle section, the tension of dissonance is beautifully resolved through each sequential phrase. A terrific concert and festival piece. / Choeur Mixte (SATB)

Par DEBUSSY CLAUDE / NICHOLAS ELLIS (Arr.). Composed in the late 1880s, Debussy’s Deux Arabesques are among his earliest piano works, already hinting at the impressionistic language that would later define him. Their flowing lines and delicate shifts of harmony create music of ornamental grace, true to the title’s suggestion of fluid, decorative design. In this arrangement written for the Korros E…

Par COURT DOUGLAS. This fanfare is an exciting opener for any festival of concert. Fanfare Esprit combines a regal opening with strong, flowing melodic lines. The composition allows any ensemble to express its individual spirit and character while providing an energetic opening for any program. / Niveau : 2 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie
