Par DELERUYELLE THIERRY. Columbus est une ouverture dynamique et brillante pour brass band, avec un passage central doux et mélodieux. Outre de nombreuses villes américaines qui portent ce nom, Columbus est un laboratoire spatial européen faisant partie de la Station spatiale internationale. Lancé en 2008 par la navette spatiale américaine Atlantis, il permet d’effectuer des expériences scientifiques en continu : physique fondamentale, sciences de la vie, physique des fluides, etc. Plusieurs centaines d'expériences par an sont réalisées au sein de Columbus. Commandée par le Brass Band Bourgueillois, cette pièce célèbre les 10 ans du lancement de la formation sous l’impulsion de son chef d’orchestre, Michaël Auclert. L’ensemble réunit des musiciens issus des différentes harmonies du pays Bourgueillois et même au-delà. Ainsi, tel le laboratoire spatial qui a inspiré l’écriture de l’œuvre, le Brass Band Bourgueillois fait lui aussi office de laboratoire, cette fois musical, au sein d’un territoire qui découvre cette formation et son répertoire original. / Date parution : 2023-07-31/ Répertoire / Brass Band

for Large Wind Band Concert Band Signature Series. Par BARNES JAMES. Hope Arises is one of two new works requested in 2021 of composer James Barnes by Colonel Donald Schofield, to be written for the United States Air Force Band. It is a short piece intended to be used as an opener for AFB's tour concerts. It opens with a dramatic brass fanfare, based on consecutive perfect fourths first introduced by horns and euphoniums, followed by a short oboe solo. An ascending line in mallets and woodwind provide a rather celestial transition, taking the listener to a lively, melodic allegro, which is based on the same opening fourths. This allegro theme is developed until a return to the opening fanfare is powerfully re-announced in brass. The work concludes quite dramatically, and includes a return of the ascending line in woodwinds, mallets, harp and piano. / Date parution : 2023-07-31/ Répertoire / Concert Band

Concert Band Signature Series. Par WALKER GEORGE. In 1946, George Walker was still doing graduate work at the Curtis institute when he composed Lyric for Strings, which would prove over the coming decades to become one of the most performed and enduring string orchestra works of the 20th Century. This first-ever edition for symphonic wind band was arranged by Dr. Luci Disano and premiered by The President's Own United States Marine Band on August 24, 2022. George Walker (June 27, 1922 - August 23, 2018) began his groundbreaking career as a young piano virtuoso and was admitted to Oberlin College on a scholarship following his first public recital at the age of 14. Graduating with the highest honors in his Conservatory class, he was admitted to the Curtis Institute of Music, becoming the first black graduate of this renowned music school. His works demonstrate a wide range of artistic excellence in genres ranging from instrumental and vocal solos and chamber music to compositions for orchestra and other large ensembles. He is the first black composer to be awarded the Pulitzer Prize. / Date parution : 2023-07-31/ Répertoire / Concert Band

Par HERMANSEN AGE. Gatens basuner (“The Trombones in the street”), originally entitled “Til gamle Hauge”, was written in 1958. Shortly before Norway’s National Day (May 17th), the band in which the composer played the Euphonium, purchased four trombones. At that time, trombones was not very common in Norwegian amateur bands. To honor the new instruments, and the four players who started practicing on them, he changed the title of the march to “Gatens basuner” / Date parution : 2023-07-31/ Répertoire / Marching Band

Par MENA MARIA. Here’s an easy arrangement of this popular Christmas song composed by Maria Mena and Martin Sjølie. I have tried to spread the melody to several groups throughout the arrangement. The melody has to be played rhythmically, but also with flow and legato style. Please strive for best possible intonation and balance where the melody is played by several players. At bar 13, flugelhorn and 2/3 cornet plays a little counter theme. Please strive for best possible intonation and balance also on this. Be aware so that the cup mute sound fits the flugelhorn as good as possible. The quarter notes played by horns and trombones at bar 18 have both a harmonic and rhythmic function. This arrangement is made with several cue notes for some instruments. In the score, there are some parts marked with optional. It’s possible to play the arrangement without these parts. The arrangement ends quite and calm, like a peaceful Christmas day. - Reid Gilje - / Date parution : 2023-07-31/ Répertoire / Ensemble de Cuivres

Par TORSKANGERPOLL IDAR. This piece for beginning band was written as a commission for Norsk Noteservice to the “Music for Beginners” serie. The piece is a feelgood item with limited range for all instruments, suitable for young players. The rhythmic structure is repetitive and polyphony is often in the “call and response” form. Hence it is an easy piece to read and play. The refrain is rhythmically unison making it easy for all to play syncopated rhythms. / Date parution : 2023-07-31/ Répertoire / Ensemble de Cuivres

Par VILHELMSEN INGEBJORG. Diplodocus is said to be one of the largest dinosaus to ever have lived. This plant munching beast weighted approximately 20 tons, and could measure up to 30 metres from head to tail. The dinosaur lived in North America during the Jurassic period. This piece describes the carefree nature of a Diplodocus. A life with no natural enemies, and with an exceptionally small brain. To the conductor: The drum set part (Perc. 1) can be played as written, or ad lib. There is also a simplified drum set part that can replace Perc 1. if needed. Perc 2. is optional, and can be omitted. / Date parution : 2023-07-31/ Répertoire / Ensemble de Cuivres
