The winter holiday season might bring to mind the Toy Soldier Dance as performed annually by the famous Radio City Rockettes. There were in fact a number of composers who wrote march music for toy, tin or wooden soldiers. Four of those songs have been included in this medley: Parade of the Wooden (or Tin) Soldiers by Leon Jessel, March of the Toys from the operetta Babes in Toyland by Victor Herbert, Fritz Kreiser's Toy Soldier March for violin and piano, and March of the Wooden Soldiers from Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite. This arrangement, Toy Soldier Marches, is designed for high school band because of the rhythmic technique required by the compositions, although the ranges remain much easier. The ambitious director might incorporate some uniformed marching band students into the performance as wooden soldiers marching down the aisles.

The Wooden Soldier is a short and simple piece commissioned by the Singapore Ministry of Education. It was originally intended as a compulsory piece for the 2012 Singapore Youth Festival. Because many school bands in Singapore are incomplete, the composer was specifically asked to create a work that could equally be played by a limited ensemble—which explains various doubled andoptional parts.The wooden toy soldier that inspires the work initially marches in a fictitious parade before gliding into a swift waltz. Both sections are based on the same melodic material: the brisk triple-time passage is in fact a variation on the parade theme. Switching between majorand minor keys—together with a number of surprising twists—makes an enthralling work despite the restrictions imposed.

The Wooden Soldier is een kort en eenvoudig werkje dat is geschreven in opdracht van het Singaporese ministerie van Onderwijs. Het was aanvankelijk bedoeld als verplicht werk voor het Singapore Youth Festival 2012. Omdat veelschoolorkesten in Singapore een onvolledige bezetting hebben, kreeg de componist het nadrukkelijke verzoek om het werk zo vorm te geven dat het ook met een beperkt ensemble uitgevoerd kan worden: dat verklaart een aantal verdubbelingenen instrumenten ad libitum.Het houten speelgoedsoldaatje dat als inspiratiebron diende, stapt eerst in een fictieve parade en strekt daarna de benen tijdens een vlotte wals. Beide passages zijn gebaseerd op hetzelfde melodischemateriaal: de snelle driekwartsmaat is dus als het ware een variant op het paradethema. De afwisseling tussen grote- en kleinetertstoonaarden en hier en daar een verrassende wending zorgen ervoor dat dit werkje met zijn enethema blijft boeien, ondanks de vele opgelegde beperkingen.

Th e Wooden Soldier ist ein kurzes, einfaches Werk, das im Auftrag des Bildungsministeriums von Singapur geschrieben wurde. Es war zunächst als Pflichtstück für das Singapurer Jugendfestival 2012 gedacht. Da viele Schulblasorchester in Singapur unvollständig besetzt sind, bat man den Komponisten ausdrücklich, das Werk so zu gestalten, dass es auch mit einem begrenzten Ensemble gespielt werden könne: Dies erklärt einige Verdopplungen und optionale Instrumente.Der hölzerne Spielzeugsoldat, der als Quelle der Inspiration diente, marschiert zunächst in einer fiktiven Parade, um danach das Tanzbein zu einem flotten Walzer zu schwingen. BeideAbschnitte basieren auf demselben melodischen Material: Der schnelle Dreivierteltakt ist also im Grunde eine Variation auf das Parade-Thema. Der Wechsel zwischen Dur- und Moll-Tonarten sowie eingestreute überraschende Wendungen sorgen dafür, dass dieses Stück mit seinem einen Thema trotz der zahlreichen auferlegten Beschränkungen stets spannend bleibt.

The Wooden Soldier (Le soldat de bois) est une pièce courte et simple commandée par le Ministère singapourien de l’Education. Cette oeuvre a été initialement écrite comme pièce imposée pour le Festival de la Jeunesse se déroulant Singapour en 2012. Comme de nombreuses formations scolaires présentent quelques lacunes au niveau de certains pupitres, Jan van der Roost a été sollicité afin de composer une oeuvre qui pourrait également être jouée par une formation incomplète - ce qui explique le doublement de certaines parties et les voix optionnelles.Le petit soldat de bois qui anime cette composition musicale, marche tout d’abord au coeur d’une parade fictive avantd’exécuter quelques pas d’une valse rapide. On retrouvera la même trame musicale dans les deux parties de l’oeuvre : les vivifiantes mesures ternaires de la valse sont en fait une variation du thème de la parade. Une alternance entre mode majeur et mineur ainsi qu’un certain nombre de rebondissements inattendus, font de cette pièce une oeuvre captivante, malgré les restrictions imposées.

Commissionato come brano d’obbligo dal Ministero dell’Educazione per il Singapore Youth Festival 2012, The Wooden Soldier è stato arrangiato per poter essere eseguito da una formazione ad organico ridotto. Il pezzo include varie parti raddoppiate e opzionali. Il brano inizia in uno stile simile a una marcia da parata per poi scivolare verso un rapido valzer, basandosi, seppure in stili diversi, sul medesimo materiale melodico. I passaggi tra tonalit maggiori e minori, come anche sorprendenti colpi di scena, fanno di questo brano una valida aggiunta al programma da concerto.

The first movement 'Breakfast al fresco' is dominated by impressionistic colour, delicate tremoli sul ponticello and flageolet sounds in the two strings are juxtaposed with precise runs in the piano. The title of the second movement is self-explanatory: 'Parade alla russe' quotes an old Russian soldiers' song 'Nightingale, little bird ...' and is also a reference to Eric Satie's circus pictures. For violin, cello, and piano.
