Par WATSON SCOTT. The 14th-century carol, 'Personent hodie,' is both mysterious and powerful. On This Day Earth Shall Ring---a festive processional on the ancient melody arranged by Scott Watson---explores both aspects. Beginning quietly, the modal tune emerges over a chant drone with rustic, medieval percussion. Before long, the piece takes on the joyous character alluded to in the tune's most familiar English text setting, 'On This Day Earth Shall Ring' (written by composer, Jane Joseph, a student of Gustav Holst). As the work draws to an ebullient close, all the stops are pulled with resounding brass and ringing metallic percussion! Whether used as a striking concert opener or a jubilant final selection, On This Day Earth Shall Ring will add festive élan to your winter/holiday program!

Par LOPEZ VICTOR. Give your students the opportunity of playing a piece for beginning band that is upbeat and full of excitement! Violento is an original beginning band composition by veteran composer Victor López. This exciting work is a forceful and rhythmically driven composition that sounds more difficult than written. A mixture of the danzón---Cuba's unique genre of song and dance---and basic rhythmic interplay give this piece a unique touch. The inclusive, simple, and repetitious rhythmic patterns will certainly make an energetic statement at your next concert. (1:53) / Date parution : 2022-10-12/ Répertoire / Concert Band

Par BECK BRIAN. Kick off your shoes, jump in, and ride down Comegys Creek. This North Texas creek is named after Dr. C. G. Comegys, a prominent family who lived in Mckinney, TX in the early 1900s. Composer and fellow Texan, Brian Beck captures the southern rowdiness of frolicking in the water with friends and family.

Par SCIAINO PETER. 'Bahumba' is a nonsense word but a no-nonsense selection for concert band. The word stems from a sound composer Peter Sciaino heard coming from an idling car. The engine, clearly having issues, had an 'uneven' gate or pulse. He mindlessly heard the word 'Bahumba' within the sounds emerging from the struggling motor. Just like an engine, an ensemble can attain a smooth groove even if 'uneven' in terms of pulse. While the percussionists are often asked to provide this groove under the melodic lines, they ultimately break out with a feature that essentially places a percussion ensemble within the context of a concert band piece.

Par GASSI VINCE. 'Bandwidth,' according to Webster's Dictionary, is the maximum data transfer rate of an electronic communications system. In Bandwidth by Vince Gassi, waves of sound and rhythmic energy (1.21 gigawatts to be exact) are transferred to you and your audiences. Right from the first measure this piece will power on and power you up. Syncopated figures contrast with legato lines while the momentum build throughout. Not too complicated, just fun to play and easy to listen to. (2:14) / Date parution : 2022-10-12/ Répertoire / Concert Band

Par SHELDON ROBERT. Starfall by Robert Sheldon is a dynamic and exciting piece that was inspired by a viewing of the Lyrid meteor shower. This composition invokes interstellar drama with introspection into the vastness of our universe. (5:04) / Date parution : 2022-10-12/ Répertoire / Concert Band

Par STALTER TODD. My Victory Won, by Todd Stalter, explores melodic and metaphorical aspects of the hymn, 'Be Thou My Vision.' Taking inspiration from the little-known third verse of the hymn, the bold, percussive introduction soon gives way to a contemplative section featuring unique and interesting timbres, and a passage for solo flute. The work ends in a triumphant, unabashed burst of energy and affirmation. (3:56) / Date parution : 2022-10-12/ Répertoire / Concert Band

Par PEDERSON DAKOTA. Ambush by Dakota Pederson is a work that describes the fight of war and recounts a flanking ambush set out by soldiers as they close in on a victory.

The work challenges performers to focus on articulation and expression, while giving the percussion section a driving rhythm to maintain the energy.

Par SHELDON ROBERT. Take a journey on the Silk Road, the ancient trade route that linked the Far East with the Western world in this imaginative piece by Robert Sheldon. Exotic harmonies combine with driving rhythms and colorful percussion to create a soundscape of shifting sands and faraway lands. A solo alto saxophone references the sound of a Turkish sorna to open the piece, leading to the persistent rhythm and modal melodies. Finger cymbals, shakers, and hand drums help to represent the culture of this remote part of the world.

Par WEBB AMY. Operation Invictus is a rising band work that checks all the boxes: exciting parts for all players, commanding rhythms, and challenging, yet surmountable melodies that will leave your band feeling great about themselves and their performance. Each instrument gets to play snappy little licks that are so engaging they'll want to practice. Even the low brass gets some fanfare-like material that will sound powerful.

as recorded by Percy Faith Orchestra. Par DIAMOND NEIL. Neil Diamond a écrit sa Crunchy Granola Suite lorsqu'il s'est installé à Los Angeles, dans les années 1970, et qu'il a découvert que le granola macrobiotique était bon pour la santé. Les paroles de cette joyeuse chanson suggèrent même que manger du granola pourrait faire plus de bien qu'une visite chez le psychologue... La chanson est devenue encore plus populaire lorsque le célèbre orchestre de Percy Faith en enregistra une version instrumentale. Elle a été reprise dans de nombreuses émissions de radio, et ce pour de bonnes raisons. La musique entraînante est très reconnaissable : un air entêtant qui ne vous quitte pas – mais de manière agréable. Fortement recommandé pour votre prochain concert ! / Date parution : 2024-04-27/ Répertoire / Fanfare Band

Par SCHWARZ OTTO M.. Qu'est-ce que l'Américain Joseph Kittinger et l'Autrichien Felix Baumgartner ont en commun ? Ils ont tous deux sauté en parachute d’une hauteur de 30 km et plus ! Alors que la tentative de Kittinger le 16 août 1960 est d'une hauteur de « seulement » 31 333 mètres, Felix Baumgartner en sautant le 14 octobre 2012, pulvérisa le record avec une hauteur époustouflante de 38 969 mètres. La composition Stratosphere décrit l'aventure musicalement : l'escalade dans la capsule à l'aide d'un ballon, la courte pause dans la stratosphère suivie du saut, les turbulences pendant la descente en chute libre, et enfin l'ouverture du parachute qui se solde par un atterrissage en toute sécurité . / Date parution : 2024-04-27/ Répertoire / Fanfare Band

Par AAGAARD-NILSEN TORSTEIN. 'Pang' is an onimatopoeia that discribes the brutal forces unleashed from the very first bar. The stream of energy contiunes throughout the piece. The piece was comissioned by Bispehaugen Ungdomskorps (Bispehaugen Concert Band) in 1998. The version for brass band was written for Manger Musikklag and recorded by them on 'Grafitti', Bjørn Sagstad conducting. / Date parution : 2023-10-31/ Répertoire / Concert Band

Par VILHELMSEN INGEBJORG. 'The Cosmographic Mystery' outlines the great mysteries and secrets of the universe. The musical foundation is a tribute to composer Gustav Holst, and his suite 'The Planets'. Each movement from the suite is quoted in the course of the piece. The title is taken from a book by the German astronomer Johannes Kepler, which was published in the 17th century. The book explains Kepler's cosmological theory that the distance relationship between the planets could be understood in light of the five Platonic solids. The theory proposes that the solids dictate the structure of the universe through geometry. 'The Cosmographic Mystery' is supported by the Norwegian Composers' Fund, and was commissioned by Oslofjord brass. / Date parution : 2023-10-31/ Répertoire / Concert Band

Par LARSSON LARS-ERIK. Norge i rødt, hvitt og blått ('Norway in Red, White and Blue') was commissioned by the Oslo Fagott Choir (yes, that is indeed a gay men?s choir) for a concert with The Staff Band of the Armed Forces in 2015. I was given artistic licence to write a more modern and somewhat ?eclectic? arrangement for this originally Swedish melody written by Lars-Erik Larsson, which became something of a national liberation anthem when Nazi occupation ended in May 1945 ? then with new lyrics by Finn Bø, Bias Bernhoft and Arild Feldborg. After the premiere in Oslo, and a music video with Oslo Fagott Choir and The Staff Band, broadcasted by Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) on Constitution Day during coronavirus lockdown in 2020, I was approached by many to write an instrumental version of the arrangement for concert band. This version is now available through Norsk Noteservice. Reid Gilje has made this instrumentation for Brass Band. / Date parution : 2023-07-31/ Répertoire / Ensemble de Cuivres
