This swinging four-beat version of the old Von Tilzer baseball classic really cooks on all cylinders. Features lots of great ensemble writing including a little 3/4 tongue-in-cheek bridge right before the final chorus. An excellent chart to entertain and bring back the nostalgic swing era.

Greatest Hits-Fondé au début des années 1980 l?iconique groupe rock américain Red Hot Chili Peppers est aujourd?hui l?un des seuls bands aux succès musicaux si nombreux et si impressionnants. Richard Johnsen a créé cet arrangement très jouable sans perdre lestyle de leurs chansons. Ce medley comprend les chansons Californication Under the Bridge et Snow (Hey Oh). Vous ferez « rocker » votre public !

This original shuffle is solidly scored with a Benny Golson/Quincy Jones flavor. The saxes are featured on the head with the solo in the first tenor part. The bridge features a two sax/two trumpet ensemble with a tasty pyramid background that is fun to play. Ken has gone to great lengths to write extensive rhythm section parts assuring that even the most inexperienced players can make this one sound smooth.

Bang Bang is the latest hit from the new album by venerable punk rock band Green Day. Aggressive power chords and chaotic musical stylings deliver the goods as a powerful and convincing opener. The furious nature of the verse and chorus is contrasted with an Arabic sounding bridge providing a quick and surprising musical twist all of which is amazingly captured in this Tom Wallace chart.

To A New Dawn was commissioned by the United States Continental Army Band - Captain Timothy J. Holtan Commander and Conductor.The brief was for a piece to celebrate the 3rd Millennium and it was the composer’s aim to provide a work which as well as looking forward to the challenges of the new century also contained moments of reflection about the last one.After a bright introduction featuring the trumpets a perky theme passing quickly through several keys appears on the woodwinds. A solo trumpet takes up a new theme over bubbling quavers (eighth notes) and this leads to a rhythmic figure on low clarinets followed by the upper woodwinds. A brass interlude follows and after ashort bridge passage an oboe takes up a contrasting legato tune that builds to a climax.An andante section follows with solos for horn and flugel horn (or trumpet) and a florid flute cadenza. A passionate climax leads back to the faster music and eventually to a full recapitulation revisiting the earlier material before a lively coda close the work as it began.

Prague also named ‘The Golden City’ has been the cultural and administrative capital city of the Czech Republic for thousands of years. The city is beautifully situated on the river Moldau. Every year millions of tourists visit Prague. It is one of the most popular cities of Eastern Europe. With it's mysterious little squares dark alley ways and cobblestone streets the ‘City of the 100 Towers’ is a unique mixture of architecture dominated by monumental buildings numerous churches and the oldest castle of Europe. The Bohemian capital city remains timeless. Visit the fort and be amazed at the lovely views over the Charles Bridge. Spend your time carefully browsing through the little stalls filled with paintings photos jewelery and hand-decorated products accompanied by the sounds of the street musicians in the background. Notice the famous 15 th century astronomical clock that indicates the time every hour with a parade of the twelve apostles. When composing this piece it was Jan Bosveld’s intention to depict the atmosphere of this metropolitan city with over one million inhabitants rather than to create a fairly literal musical portrait. One of the many other names of Prague is ‘The City of the Clocks’. This can be heard throughout the piece depicted by the tubular bells. The piece consists of three movements (slow-fast-slow) and was written in a rhapsodic format. Jan Bosveld was commissioned to write ‘The Golden City’ by the Dutch Music Lend and Information Centre (MUI) a department of the library for the province of Gelderland in Arnhem the Netherlands.

The six short movements of this quartet can be described as follows but are not necessarily played in this order:1) A fast scherzo-like mechanism of terraced accelerandos 2) Quiet heterophony - col legno vertical spiccato 3)Alla chitarra 4) Al tamburo 5) Static harmony with microtonal inflexions 6) A second scherzo with changing metre.Benedict Mason's close association with the Arditti Quartet stems from the 1989 Huddersfield Festival whenthey gave the premiere of his first quartet. They subsequently recorded this work for Bridge Records.Duration 20'

A note from the composer: This one kind of like my Blues for All from the too soon to tell set is a disguised minor blues. In addition it has a vamp at the end of each a section and an 8 bar bridge to take it out of the C minor tonality for a minute.

The Hanover Wind Symphony New Jersey USA was founded in 1984 by its conductor Peter Boor. He commissioned HANOVER FESTIVAL to celebrate the band’s 15th Birthday and the first performance took place on October 27th 1999. The piece starts with a solemn brass fanfare. Woodwinds join in and the music subsides into an expressive chorale. A climax is reached and the fanfare returns. Trumpets introduce an explosive vivo section characterised by an energetic theme from the horns and low clarinets. A bridge passage with strong brass chords leads to a playful section that introduces a legato central theme under woodwind figures. This is taken up by the full band the playfulmusic returns and the original horn tune is reintroduced. Finally the opening fanfare returns this time accompanied by music from the vivo section until a fast and furious coda closes the work.
