Effervescence

SKU: CF.BPS121F

ISBN 9781491152751. UPC: 680160910250.

A lively and exhilarating new piece for beginning bands, Effervescence lives up to it's title, but is so much more. It also contains lush harmonies, sweeping melodic gestures reminiscent of the America school of composers like Copland.  It is a sophisticated musical presentation, but with limited technical demands, making it easy for young students, but very musically satisfying.
Effervesce nce is commonly known as the act of a gas escaping a liquid and the “fizzing” result that occurs. A secondary definition, however, is a show of liveliness or exhilaration. It is this secondary definition that is the inspiration for this piece.The piece begins with a broad, sweeping introduction followed by a statement of the main theme in the upper voices at m. 11. The trumpets perform the melody at m. 19, while the upper voices perform a countermelody which morphs into the main idea of the B-section that follows at m. 27. The lower voices restate the main theme at m. 35 while the upper voices provide a sweeping harmony with a somewhat “Americana” feel. After a restatement of the B-section at m. 43, a subdued section with new material occurs at m. 51. This pushes into a final restatement of the main theme at m. 59 and leads to a vibrant conclusion followed by a pianissimo afterthought.

Spring has finally arrived. The days grow longer, birds prepare to nest, trees turn green and plants begin to bloom as nature wakes up from her winter sleep. This, and the fact that the composer’s third grandson was born in the spring, were the inspiration for Spring Song.

Het is voorjaar! De dagen worden langer, de vogels bouwen hun nestjes, bomen hullen zich in het groen en alle planten beginnen te bloeien. Kortom: de natuur ontwaakt uit haar winterslaap. En precies in dit jaargetijde zag ook hetderde kleinkind van de componist het levenslicht. Lente en nieuw leven: voor Jan de Haan twee prachtige inspiratiebronnen voor zijn nieuwe werk Spring Song!

Es ist Frühling. Die Tage werden länger, Vögel bauen ihre Nester, die Bäume schlagen aus und alle Pflanzen beginnen zu blühen. Kurz gesagt: Die Natur erwacht aus ihrem Winterschlaf. Der Frühling und der glückliche Umstand, dass just zu dieser Jahreszeit sein dritter Enkel das Licht der Welt erblickte inspirierte den Komponisten zu seinem Stück Spring Song.

C’est le printemps : les jours s’allongent et la nature sort de son sommeil hivernal. C’est toute l’effervescence du printemps qu’exhale Spring Song. En outre, cette ravissante pièce célèbre également la naissance du troisième petit fils du compositeur, né au printemps.

E’ primavera: la natura si risveglia, gli uccelli preparano i nidi, gli alberi e le piante cominciano a fiorire. Uno spettacolo che la natura ci regala puntuale ogni anno. Spring Song trasuda di questo splendore e vuole essere per Jan de Haan un benvenuto al mondo al suo terzo nipote, nato appunto in quella che è per molti la stagione più bella dell’anno..

Composer’s Note:

I composed The Planets to be performed during my tenure as Composer in Residence at Chetham’s International Piano Summer School, Manchester, in August 2018. Drawing inspiration from Holst’s Suite of the same name – a work of unstoppable importance – my composition nevertheless contrasts conspicuously, both in its overall scheme (nine movements instead of seven) and orientation (my work takes the Sun as its point of orientation, whereas Holst places the Earth at the centre point and hence leaves it out of the musical scheme). There is, as a consequence, a sense of increasing serenity to my music following the effervescence of Jupiter, though there are reverberations of earlier themes and moods in the concluding movement, Pluto, which nevertheless ends enigmatically as befits its distant, ‘cold’ designation. Pluto was left out of Holst’s work for good reason – it had yet to be discovered – though Colin Matthews redressed the situation admirably in 2000. Whether one chooses to go along with Pluto’s unresolved status, or indeed to promote it to the position of ‘full’ planet (amusingly, Pluto became demoted to dwarf- planet in 1992) is perhaps less important than its potential to evince a musical spirit entirely to itself.

Performanc e Note:

Movements may be performed separately as desired, though the connections between musical characters will of course be lost in doing so. In Neptune and Pluto (which are best performed attacca) I include infrequent use of a bell, pitched at B4. This denotes the intangibility of time; it adds a welcome new colour, as well as an additional element for the audience to ponder on. A standard hotel receptionist’s bell was used in the inaugural performance – surprisingly resonant, even in a sizeable auditorium – though if this is unavailable the cellist can play the same note (or harmonic, if preferred).

World Premiere given at Stoller Hall, Chetham’s School of Music, Manchester, August 2018: Gillian Poznansky (flute), Sebastian Poznansky (cello) and Mark Tanner (piano).

In Real-Pop führt uns Kees Vlak in fünf Sätzen durch das moderne Japan. Der Großstadt Yokohama ist die moderne Ouvertüre gewidmet. Einen reizvollen Kontrast dazu bildet der zweite Satz, eine Ballade über den stillen Winter im Norden des Archipels. Satz drei handelt vom in Japan sehr beliebten Wintersport Skifahren; an der Skipiste begegnet uns auch das schüchterne chinesische Mädchen aus dem vierten Satz. Computer ähnliche Techno-Klänge im fünften Satz stehen für das technisch fortschrittliche Japan. Eine spannende Reise für Musiker und Publikum!

Real- Pop est une œuvre en cinq mouvements dont chacun dépeint un aspect particulier du Japon : Yokohama City Rock reflète l’effervescence du port de Yokohama ; Wintertime se fait l’écho de la sérénité des gens du Nord ; Super Ski nous emmène sur les pistes de ski ; Lovely China Girl raconte l’histoire d’une jeune fille d’origine chinoise. Dans le dernier mouvement nous assistons une soirée branchée sur fond de musique techno. Et l , ça déménage !

Nell’ultimo movimento assistiamo ad una serata alla moda con il sottofondo di musica techno.

Dès l’époque de Chopin, les musiciens polonais commencèrent à faire de Paris une destination de prédilection. La capitale française devint même, dans l’entre-deux-guerr es, leur seconde capitale musicale, tant son effervescence cosmopolite les attirait. La création polonaise rayonna dans de nombreux domaines et les archives (presse française, programmes de concerts, correspondances) révèlent l’ampleur et l’importance de cette présence. Certains d’entre eux, tels que la pianiste et claveciniste Wanda Landowska ou la cantatrice Marya Freund, s’étaient installés avant la Grande Guerre. La scène parisienne accueillit de grands virtuoses, notamment le pianiste et compositeur Ignacy Jan Paderewski, les violonistes Paul Kochański et Bronisław Huberman. De jeunes talents, Feliks Łabuński, Piotr Perkowski, Antoni Szałowski, Tadeusz Szeligowski et Maria Modrakowka, formèrent l’Association des jeunes musiciens polonais. Paris libéra leur énergie créatrice. Cet ouvrage explore la dimension socioculturelle de ce phénomène en dressant des portraits individuels et collectifs de musiciens qui choisirent de lier leur destin à une ville actrice à part entière de cette histoire.

'Synergy' is the combined power of a group when they are working with each other-in musical terms, it's that magical something that happens when people create music together. Written as a celebratory piece, Synergy is a rousing overture that explodes with energy and effervescence-an ideal concert opener or festival piece full of joy and excitement that showcases all sections of the band. Dur: 4:30.

'Flee the storms.' Reynaldo Hahn (1874-1947) put this motto of classical artists at the heart of his music for piano four hands, preferring the balance of proportions to the roar of passions, the eclecticism of good taste, charm and delicacy. Berceuses falls within the French tradition of children's music such as illustrated by Faure's Dolly and Ravel's Ma mere lOye. These seven pieces evoke with refinement the happiness of a cloudless day, the effervescence that reigns on Christmas Eve, or the gentle syncopated rocking of a young Creole, Selfiana. The Variations pueriles sur une melodie de Carl Reinecke manifest a free, whimsical vein, whereas the Trois preludes sur des airs irlandais drink at the pure sources of folk music, borrowing their thematic material from the famous collection Songs of Old Ireland which Stanford had brought out in 1882. Published for the first time from ahandwritten score, the Variations sur un theme de Charles Levade end with a wild quadrille that takes the heroes of the celebration to the nearest inn. The Piece en forme daria et Bergerie from 1896, finely polished, takes up with the ambiance of the pastorale, popular in the 17th century.
