for Euphonium and Concert Band. Par SPARKE PHILIP. Pulcinella was commissioned by the Taiwanese euphonium player Tzu-Hsiang Lin. Lin is a renowned soloist and teacher and a Besson Euphonium Artist. He teaches euphonium at Taipei National University of the Arts, National Taiwan University of Arts, Shih Chien University and National Kaohsiung Normal University. Lin gave the premiere of Pulcinella in both its concert band and brass band versions in January 2021. Pulcinella continues Sparke?s series of euphonium solos named after characters of the Italian commedia dell?arte and opens with a long and expressive minor melody for the soloist over a brooding accompaniment. This is taken up briefly by the full band and is extended by the soloist after a change of key. A cadenza, accompanied by fragments of the main melody leads to a complete change of mood, tempo and tonality, introducing a Vivo section starting with a perky syncopated tune for the soloist. The band then uses elements of this new tune to introduce a change of key, where the soloist introduces a more lyrical second subject over a pulsing accompaniment. The band then takes this up and changes key to reintroduce the original Vivo melody, which leads to a short and acrobatic coda to bring the work to a spectacular close. / Date parution : 2021-11-03/ Répertoire / Orchestre D\'Harmonie

Excerpts from Movement 4. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. Developing an intimate understanding of the world’s greatest musical accomplishments is an important part of a music education. Every musician should have the joy of playing the music of Mozart, and the G-minor Symphony (Number 40) is one of Mozart’s signature works, and one of the greatest musical achievements of all time. Stephen Bulla has carefully and effectively brought the themes of the G-minor Symphony finale to the concert band stage with this delightful transcription/arrangement. Your band won’t be playing a “band arrangement”- they’ll be playing MOZART! Don’t forget the opportunity for a music history lesson built into this piece. Masterful! / Niveau : 4 / Classique / Répertoire / Concert Band

From 'Enigma Variations'. Par ELGAR EDWARD. Nimrod est le nom donné à la neuvième variation et la plus connue des Enigma Variations d'Edward Elgar, une ?uvre orchestrale de 14 variations sur un thème original composé entre 1898 et 1899. Chaque variation est aussi un portrait de l'un des 14 membres de la famille d'Elgar et cercle d'amis. ?uvre célèbre à part entière, Nimrod est un portrait d'Augustus Johannes, son meilleur ami et également l'éditeur d'Elgar. br> En raison de leur portrait, chaque variation est intitulée avec un nom ou des initiales qui identifient la personne. Bibliquement, Nimrod est un grand chasseur de l'Ancien Testament, représentant ainsi sa muse à travers un jeu de mots : Jäger en allemand signifie 'chasseur'. La mélodie semble représenter une promenade nocturne au cours de laquelle les deux discutent des mouvements lents de Ludwig van Beethoven ; les huit premières mesures rappellent en fait le début du deuxième mouvement de la Sonate pour piano Pathétique. Un arrangement de musique classique signé Franco Cesarini qui se distingue par son instrumentation habile et soignée. / Date parution : 2023-08-12/ Répertoire / Concert Band/Harmonie

Par TCHAIKOVSKI PIOTR ILITCH / JONES NATHAN (Arr.). Tchaikovsky composed his twelve character pieces for piano, The Seasons, while he was writing his popular ballet, Swan Lake. Each piece in The Seasons depicts a different month of the year in Russia. The original publication of September: The Hunt included an epigraph at the start of the piece-a small poem by Alexander Pushkin. This energetic arrangement for symphonic band by Nathan Jones opens with an octave fanfare between the winds and brass. Tchaikovsky\'s colorful harmony speaks here, with passing chromaticism adding color to the music. The fanfare theme is transformed in the quiet central section, still shifting to the minor mode with short solo passages for flute, bassoon, trumpet, xylophone and oboe (cued in flutes). The segue back into the opening fanfare is clever, with the notes leading through several keys before concluding in the major with a short reprise of the initial theme. / Date parution : 2022-09-20/ Répertoire / Concert Band
