Gulliver's Travels (Les Voyages de Gulliver 1726) de l?écrivain irlandais d?origine anglaise Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) est un roman satirique qui raconte les quatre voyages de Lemuel Gulliver chirurgien à bord d?un navire. Le génie imaginatif la finesse d?esprit et la prose simple qui caractérisent les explorations fantaisistes de ces mondes imaginaires ont fasciné des générations de lecteurs. Bert Appermont a réalisé une œuvre en quatre tableaux hauts en couleurs à l?image des récits de Swift.1. Lilliput : Après un naufrage Gulliver se retrouve sur l?île de Lilliput dont les habitants les Lilliputiens ne mesurent qu?environ six pouces de haut.Peuple vif et énergique les Lilliputiens sont symbolisés par un thème enjoué. Les couleurs pétillent? / 2. Brobdingnag : Au pays de Brobdingnag Gulliver est enlevé par des géants. La ligne mélodique revient à plusieurs reprises. L?accélération du tempo intensifie la trame dramatique de ce second mouvement. / 3. Laputa : Laputa est une île volante habitée par d?étranges personnages qui penchent la tête tantôt à droite tantôt à gauche : ils ont un œil tourné en dedans et l'autre vers le ciel. La musique évolue dans un décor chimérique. / 4. Au pays des Houyhnhnms : Au cours de son dernier voyage Gulliver arrive chez les Houyhnhnms des chevaux intelligents et profondément sages qui règnent sur les Yahoos créatures dégénérées de type humain. L?ouverture puissante (trompettes) illustre les chevaux au galop ; le thème solennel qui suit (cors et trombones) symbolise les primitifs et sauvages Yahoos. Le mouvement s?achève sur un finale grandiose.

This composition is based on a passacaglia theme in which artistic perfection symphonic drama and oriental melody lines play a role. The passacaglia is originally a dance made up of a series of variations above a bass line constantly present as an ostinato. It is not in this sense that the 'Symphonic Variations' are in the passacaglia form but in the sense of the open form of the variations. Jacob de Haan himself originally an organist took his inspiration for this piece from the famous passacaglia for organ in C-minor by J.S. Bach. Following the introduction of the passacaglia theme (in the bass) the entry by the trumpets and trombones forms the majestic start to amusical adventure in which this theme (often fragmentary) returns in variations. Then there follow two faster movements with dramatic contrasts and virtuose passages. Particularly striking here is the use of two characteristic intervals from the beginning of the theme namely the minor second and the augmented fourth. An apause in the composition comes in the slow bridge where a syncopated bourdon (perfect fifth) is constantly repeated. The tension grows in dynamics and harmony and the oriental-flavour becomes obvious in the melody. We arrive at a faster movement via an accelerando in which a perpetuum mobile based on the passacaglia theme is central. Finally the whole flows into a martial theme in which the ostinato accompaniment n the descant derives from the passacaglia theme.

Comme le suggère le titre cette pièce se compose d?une fanfare et d?une hymne. Nordic Fanfare and Hymn a été écrit pour la cérémonie d?ouverture des Championnats du Monde FIS de Ski Nordique d?Oberstdorf en Allemagne. Pour pouvoir être utilisée dans le cadre de diverses cérémonies cette composition peut être interprétée dans quatre versions différentes. Une version intégrale ; une version constituée d?une courte fanfare jouée par les trompettes (cornets) trombones et timbales ; une version en double fanfare (suivi d?un tutti orchestral) et une version composée d?une fanfare suivi d?un extrait de l?hymne.

Trois motifs qui se succèdent alternativement composent cet hymne dédié au parc national de Yellowstone. À la mélodieuse introduction où le hautbois est mis à l?honneur se rajoute l?orchestre complet pour entamer le deuxième motif. Le troisième thème engage les cors et les trombones auxquels se rajoutent les trompettes pour aboutir au climax de l?oeuvre. Peu à peu la tension retombe par le cheminement inverse de l?ordre d?apparition des instruments pour finir en une douce et enchanteresse conclusion.

Easy Jazz Ensemble - Grade 2 Mike was able to create an easy version of this classic from the swing era without sacrificing the sound and style of the original. The trumpet section is the primary featured section however the saxes also get a crack at the melody and the trombones will really enjoy the glissandi in the shout chorus. This enjoyable chart is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser!
