Albastum is a proud, stately concert march written in classic A-B-A form. It opens with a festive fanfare in the brass section, followed by a lively, bright theme, symbolising the joy of playing music together at each weekly rehearsal. Following a melodious trio, a counter theme develops and the march comes to an exciting close with a reprise of the original theme.

Albastum is een majestueuze concertmars. Stijn Roels schreef hem in de klassieke A-B-A-vorm. De vreugde die muzikanten aan musiceren beleven, komt bijzonder goed tot uitdrukking. Orkestrale wisselingen tussen de bas en de discantin het eerste deel laten de bijzondere klankkleuren van de verschillenden instrumentgroepen goed zien. Een melodieus trio en de reprise van deel A ronden de mars af. Echt zo’n mars waaraan iedereen plezier beleeft!

Albastum est une majestueuse marche de concert, conforme la structure classique A-B-A. Elle débute avec une fanfare festive, suivie d’un changement de couleurs obtenu par l’alternance entre les cuivres graves, les saxophones et les euphoniums. La partie B - un trio mélodieux - a été confiée aux clarinettes. Un charmant contre-chant plane au-dessus du thème principal. Il s’ensuit une reprise de la partie initiale (partie A) avec, en prime, un contre-chant taillé sur mesure pour les fl tes et les clarinettes.

Fanfare for an Occasion was written to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the founding of Anglo Music Press, the publishing company dedicated to the works of British composer, Philip Sparke. It is a bright and festive work in which the main theme starts on the tenor instruments of the band before appearing as canonical imitation by all sections in turn. A short, repeated bridge passage leads to a second theme on the saxes that is taken up by the full band and leads back to a return of the main theme and a repeat of the second subject, which brings the fanfare to a brilliant close.

English-German-French-Dutch.

Hora Est! (Latin for ‘it is time!’) was composed to bid adieu to Sjoerd de Boer’s following forty years as conductor of the Chr. Fanfare Band, based in the town of Wjelsryp in the Netherlands. In the Netherlands, this small phrase, hora est, is traditionally said upon awarding a university doctorate at graduation ceremonies. The composition was written with Sjoerd de Boer firmly in mind, mirroring various aspects of his life. The main motif of the work consists of three notes, forming his initials: S (Eb) D B. At a certain point, the music is interrupted by a thunderstorm and heavy rain (forever a bad omen: the debut for this work took place a day after such a deluge, but fortunately their open-air concert was met with clear blue skies.) The fanfare then plays an Italianesque march, with the motif of de Boer’s initials interwoven throughout. The work re-uses this motif twice towards the end of the piece as one might expect, by the saxophones to create a festive, driven and virtuosic atmosphere. Finally, the work comes to an end with the initials motif played across the ensemble in complete unison. The powerful closing chords symbolise a fond farewell to de Boer: a driven and extremely capable conductor whose musical mark on Concordia will be felt for years to come. Hora Est! is suitable as a contest piece and would be a definite highlight for any upcoming concert.

Hora Est! is gecomponeerd ter gelegenheid van het afscheid van Sjoerd de Boer als dirigent van Chr. Fanfarekorps Concordia uit Wjelsryp (Friesland), na maar liefst veertig jaar. Hora Est! is Latijn voor ‘Het is tijd!’. Het zinnetje wordt traditioneel uitgesproken bij een promotie tot doctor op de universiteit, op het moment dat de vastgestelde tijd voor verdediging van het proefschrift om is. De pedel komt dan binnen en stampt met zijn staf op de grond terwijl hij deze woorden roept. In dat opzicht verwijst de titel naar de voormalige universiteitsstad Franeker, de woonplaats van Sjoerd en de stad waar hij jaren lang leraar muziek was aan de christelijke scholengemeenschap. Anderzijds verwijst de titel naar zijn afscheid van Concordia: ‘Het is tijd!’.
