Imagine an oasis in the desert. Far in the distance a caravan is sighted. The air is filled with excitement and anticipation, the quiet desert becoming louder and more animated as the large caravan approaches and passes. This scene is musically depicted in Larry Neeck’s Desert Caravan, which provides numerous opportunities for your band to work with melody, dynamics, and drama. Transport your audience to a faraway place, as the sounds of the camels and their herdsman slowly die away, and the caravan fades into the distance. A delightful musical journey!

Sahar a is an exciting programmatic work for concert band that musically paints a picture of a fantastical desert crossing in three contrasting sections. The first section depicts a large caravan moving across the giant dunes. The second section describes a visit to a palace in a mystical oasis city. The third section brings the piece to an epic close as the caravan outruns a sandstorm to reach their final destination. Performance Notes You may use a set of congas in addition to or in lieu of the dumbek part to bring out that pitched drum sound. At m. 4, emphasize the accented quarter notes in the horns and euphonium. Measures 17-26, make sure that the sixteenth note marimba part is heard clearly. In measures 48-92, this entire middle section may be played in a rubato style at the director's discretion to achieve maximum musical expression. Be sure to emphasize the crescendo-decrescendo dynamics in this entire section. In measures 56-61, be sure that the syncopated flute and clarinet parts are heard clearly. and the flute and oboe are heard as well mm. 76-81.

An Ankh is an ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic representing the word Life. The Ankh of Eternity depicts an epic journey through ancient lands to find the mythical Ankh of Eternity amulet promising eternal life. The piece journeys through the desert in a caravan, with a stop for a Kaff celebration, an Arabic hand-clapping folk art. The discovery of the tomb is spine chilling and eerie with special percussion effects. After the Ankh is discovered, swarms of locusts descend and our travelers run for their lives. They may have found eternal life, but will they be forever cursed? The Ankh of Eternity uses an Arabic or double harmonic-major scale. Performers have multiple soloing and improvising opportunities. Complex but repeating rhythms offer players a chance to practice getting in the groove. Players and audiences alike will be invigorated by the many celebratory moments and thrilled at the eerie and downright scary moments! The Ankh of Eternity offers cultural and historical inclusion opportunities, improvisation, unique scales, rhythmic challenges, and a thrilling story. Conductor Notes: Measures 45-61: Kaff is the ancient Arabic art of hand clapping over improvised poetry. The Kaff Celebration section represents this art form. The improvising soloists should be designated by the conductor and should each be four measures long . Alternatively, soloists may copy the phrase in the second ending as a solo. The AYE! should be shouted joyously. The repeat may be omitted for performance time concerns, or, of course, repeated multiple times for more solos. Measures 64-73: Experiment with different cymbal noises, such as scrapes with a nail or coin, taps with triangle beaters, bowed cymbals, etc. Water-cymbal techniques should also be used. Fill a storage tub with water, and with the suspended cymbal still on the stand, hit the cymbal a couple times with a soft mallet, and lower the cymbal into the water for a glissando effect. The overall effect should be creepy cave-like echoes bending around corners.An Ankh is an ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic representing the word Life.

In Camel Ride you will experience the magic of a colourful Arabic caravan as it slowly passes by. With this short work for a flexible ten part instrumentation, composer Jan de Haan has brilliantly reflected the atmosphere of the parade and carefully capturing the mysticism of the East. Camel Ride will make a great interlude in your concert performances. In Camel Ride horen we een karavaan voorbijtrekken. In rustige tred schrijdt de kleurige stoet voort. Componist Jan de Haan heeft met dit korte werk deze sfeer voortreffelijk weten te treffen.Der im Titel dieses Werkes genannte Kamelritt ist durchaus wörtlich zu nehmen: Die Musik beschreibt eine vorüber ziehende Karawane. Ruhig, mit gleichmäßigem Schritt, hört man die Wüstenschiffe inmitten eines bunten Menschengewimmels stetig voranschreiten. Jan de Haan ist es in diesem kurzen Werk für zehn Stimmen ausgezeichnet gelungen, die Atmosphäre dieser exotischen Szenerie in diesem Stück für eine zehnstimmig variable Besetzung einzufangen.Au rythme de la caravane de chameaux, bercés par le vent, nous effectuons une promenade musicale de petits villages en criques isolées, de dunes en plages du bout du monde, de cascades en marabouts éclatants de blancheur. Camel Ride : une touche insolite ! Una passeggiata musicale nel deserto in groppa ai cammelli: atmosfere esotiche e mozzafiato, accompagnati dal vento tra le dune fermandosi in splendide oasi. Camel Ride: un brano insolito!
