Otto M. Schwarz: See You!: Concert Band: Score & Parts

SKU: BT.DHP-0991724-010

Otto M. Schwarz composed Fire & Ice for a symphonic rock project commissioned by the national music schools of the Austrian cities of Imst and Pitztal. In these cities, winter tourism plays an important role in the economy with spectacular weekly displays by winter sportsmen and women. The performances of the freestyle acrobats take place in the evening and draw huge crowds. Using torches and other pyrotechnics, these acrobats entertain the audience by means of fire, lights, snow, ice and acrobatics. This piece makes a perfect opening or final work for any concert. It will especially be a favourite among younger audience members.

De nachtvoorstellingen met vuur, licht, sneeuw, ijs en acrobatiek van de zogenaamde ‘freestyle-acrobate n’ zijn bijzonder geliefd in wintersportgebieden. Otto M. Schwarz gebruikte dit gegeven als thema in Fire & Ice, dat zeergeschikt is voor de opening of afsluiting van een concert. Dit muzikale spektakel zal beslist alom waardering oogsten.

Die österreichische Region Imst und Pitztal wird vom Wintertourismus mit all den wöchentlichen Shows der Wintersportler beherrscht. Besonders die Nachtvorstellungen der Freestyle-Akrobaten erfreuen sich großer Beliebtheit. Mit Fackeln und Pyrotechnik verstehen sie, eine atemberaubende Show aus Feuer, Licht, Schnee, Eis und Akrobatik zu gestalten. In Fire & Ice setzte Otto M. Schwarz diese Elemente und Kontraste gekonnt in Musik um. Dieses wirkungsvolle Stück wird bei jedem Publikum gut ankommen.

Les grandes stations de ski accueillent de nombreux touristes en hiver et des spectacles autour des sports d’hiver sont organisés très fréquemment. Les démonstrations nocturnes de ski acrobatique freestyle attirent toujours beaucoup de monde. Des skieurs réalisent des figures acrobatiques en utilisant différents moyens pyrotechniques, notamment des torches. Une discipline spectaculaire où se mêlent le feu, les lumières, la neige et la glace. Fire & Ice (“Le Feu et la Glace”) est une pièce dynamique qui peut être interprétée en ouverture ou en clôture d’un concert et qui fera le bonheur du public.

Le grandi stazioni sciistiche accolgono numerosi turisti e molti spettacoli sono organizzati per intrattenere gli amanti degli sport invernali. Le dimostrazioni di sci acrobatico freestyle attirano sempre molta gente. Sciatori realizzano figure acrobatiche utilizzando differenti mezzi pirotecnici come torce. Una disciplina spettacolare dove si mescolano fuoco, luci, neve e ghiaccio. Fire & Ice è un brano dinamico che può essere interpretato all’inizio o alla fine di un concerto.

With its height of 4,808 meters, Mont-Blanc is called “the roof of Europe.” The highest mountains on our planet have been insurmountable for a long time. Only in the past 250 years have those giants been mounted. Crystal-hunter Jacques Balmat and Michel-Gabriel Paccard, a doctor, were the first to climb Mont-Blanc, in 1786. Many paths lead to Mont-Blanc's peak: the regular ascent goes through the magnificent “voie royale of Saint-Gervais-les- Bains,” which was opened in August 1855 by the Englishmen Hudson, Kennedy, and Smythe. Today's most common route to climb up, starting from Saint-Gervais via Aiguille du Gou ter (3,863m), Do me du Gou ter (4,304m), and Are te des Bosses (4,547m), was first used in 1861. Otto M. Schwarz composed this work inspired by “the roof of Europe” with its luminous and huge glaciers. Early in the morning, mountain climbers set off to the peak; they witness the sunrise, and experience the hazards that the journey up to the summit brings along. A snowstorm and falling rocks at Are te des Bosses aggravate their journey. A sudden change of weather, however, enables them to reach the top after a strenuous ascent. This piece invites you to an imaginary journey from Saint-Gervais-les-Bains via the “voie royale” to the top of Mont-Blanc.

The pieces in the Vienna Solo Edition are written by Austrian composers who continue the old tradition of Vienna as a music metropolis. These easy to intermediate pieces cover a wide range of styles and so are ideal for working on aspects such as dynamics, phrasing, and articulation. At the same time they are excellent performance pieces. On the enclosed CD professional musicians have recorded their interpretation of each piece as an example; then every player is invited to give his or her own interpretation with the play-along version. The piano accompaniment allows you to play the pieces together with a pianist, which is educationally even more valuable.
