Bach's cantata BWV 26 belongs to the Leipzig cycle of chorale cantatas, 1724/25, and it was first performed on 19 November 1724. The underlying 13-vers hymn by Michael Franck provided Bach and his unidentified librettist with an abundance of metaphors and comparisons which, from verse to verse and movement to movement, illustrate the fleeting and transitory nature of earthly life: an impressive musical-poetic exposition of potent baroque pictures of vanity.. Score and part available separately - see item CA.3102600.

Galea et Bellum was commissioned by the Excelsior Schraard music society (Friesland, the Netherlands). The work tells the story of a rare helmet that was discovered in a church in the Frisian village of Schettens in 2015. Research revealed that it had been the property of Skelte van Aysma, a Frisian officer who fought in the armies of the Princes of Orange Maurice and Frederick Henry during the Eighty Years’ War. This little piece of history was the starting point for this composition. As a leitmotif, the hymn ‘Ach wie flüchtig, ach wie nichtig ist der Menschen Leben’ (‘Ah, how fleeting, ah how insignificant’) has been used. This 17th century melody by Michel Franck, inan arrangement by Johann Sebastian Bach, initially appears only in fragments, but grows to full stature toward the end of the work. An ideal contest piece with lots of challenges for your band. Galea et Bellum is geschreven in opdracht van muziekvereniging Excelsior Schraard.

Vernon Park, Stockport’s oldest park, was created on land donated by Lord Vernon (George John Warren). It was built by poor mill workers who called it pinch-belly park and opened on 20th September 1858. Comprising twenty-one acres, it houses a museum, a bandstand, ornamental fountains, a fernery, rockery, borders and sunken rose garden as well terraced walkways that overlook the river and weir. The piece depicts a solitary walker engrossed in his own thoughts on a winter’s day, the landscape, and the park’s Victorian past.At the very end of the piece a reminder of the park’s Victorian origins can be detected in a quote from Elgar’s Salut d’amour of 1899, which may well have been played by a band in the bandstand. Stockport market celebrated its 750th anniversary in 2010. It dated back to September 1260 when a Royal Charter allowed Robert de Stokeport, the Mayor, to hold a weekly market within the defensive walls of the Norman Castle on the present site of Castle Yard.The Glass Umbrella was a popular name given to the 1861 covered market built of timber, glass and iron - nine bays with open sides and a glass canopy. In 1912, one bay was removed to enable electric trams and trolley buses to turn a sharp corner.The piece depicts a lively market day, the multiculturalism of the present day and the old cries of pick and pay without delay. The bells of St Mary’s Church are depicted by a cascading peel tuned to the ten bells of the church tower, and a fleeting reference to John Wainwright’s famous Christmas hymn Christians Awake, and the Westminster chimes striking the hour from St Mary’s, bring to piece to a conclusion. Separate parts are provided for recorder and oboe.

Herz an Herz, as the title implies (heart to heart), is a love duet. Two distinct voices, characterised through their respective male and female vocal registers, negotiate a warm, heartfelt melody through a loosely strophic form. Initially the voices sing in turn, each section - or verse - led predominantly by one. Each time their lines entwine, virtuosic flourishes ascend the keyboard, interrupting to render them silent again. It is only after one particularly tumultuous episode that the true duet appears: Out of the murky resonances of the lowest “A” emerges the throbbing chords and impassioned vocal lines from Wagners famous duet, O sink hernieder, Nacht der Liebefrom the second act of Tristan und Isolde. The 'singers', now reconciled, come together for one final verse before a fleeting memory of the beginning gently ushers in the end of the piece. Herz an Herz was awarded 1st prize in William Howard's Love Song Composing Competition and was premiered on 26th April 2017 at Hoxton Hall, London, by William Howard.

Odelettesis the title of a cycle of poems by the 19th-century French writer, Gérard de Neval. In his work, Trois Odelettes, Jacob de Haan set three of de Neval’s poems to music for soprano voice and concert band: Une Allée du Luxembourg describes a fleeting moment of love; Espagne is a typically sounding ode to Spain; and Chanson Gothique describes the joy of life itself. Odelettesis de titel van een reeks gedichten uit de negentiende eeuw van de Fransman Gérard de Nerval. Met Trois Odelettes verklankte Jacob de Haan speciaal voor sopraan en orkest drie gedichten uit de cyclus. UneAllée du Luxembourg beschrijft een vluchtig moment van liefde. Espagne is een ode aan Spanje met een Arabisch tintje. Met Chanson Gothique koos Jacob de Haan tenslotte een gedicht over de levensvreugde. Alle drieprachtig!Odelettes ist der Titel einer Gedichtreihe des Franzosen Gérard de Nerval aus dem 19. Jahrhundert. Jacob de Haan vertonte in Trois Odelettes drei Gedichte aus diesem Zyklus für eine Sopran-Singstimme und Blasorchester: Une Allée du Luxembourg beschreibt eine flüchtigen Moment der Liebe, Espagne ist eine typisch spanische - mit einem arabischem Hauch - vertonte Ode an Spanien. Mit Chanson Gothique wählte Jacob de Haan zuletzt ein Gedicht über die Lebensfreude.Odelettes est le nom du recueil de poèmes de Gérard de Nerval, poète français du XIXe siècle. Souffrant les tourments de la psychose, Nerval, poète maudit, vivait dans le royaume de son imagination, s’identifiant des princes de contes de fées et des héros orientaux. Son oeuvre restreinte, mais sublime, a profondément inspiré les poètes symbolistes et surréalistes. Jacob de Haan a composé des thèmes en osmose avec les rythmes des poèmes : Une Allée du Luxembourg, Espagne et Chanson Gothique, pour soprano solo et orchestre d’harmonie.Odelettes è il titolo di una serie di poemi del XIX° secolo di Gérard de Nerval. Jacob de Haan ha raccolto in Trois Odelettes altrettanti poemi da questo ciclo per soprano solo e banda. Une Allée du Luxembourg descrive un momento sfuggevole dell’amore, Espagne è un omaggio tipicamente spagnolo, ma con accenti arabi, alla Spagna. Con Chanson Gothique Jacob de Haan ha scelto un racconto sulla gioia di vivere.

Like a cozy sweater on a cold day, this original wintertime poem juxtaposes warmth with chills. Imagine the opening descending motive as the first falling flake and the eventual musical layers as accumulating snow. Each voice part sings in the sweet spot of their tessitura to garner rich choral tone. A harmonically vivid bridge creates contrast and offers a flurry of beauty in the piano, as singers realize the beautiful snowflakes are fleeting, all too soon they fade away. Delicate yet deep, simple yet stunning. This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

An earlier work by a young Schickele, The Flow of Memory is a glimpse of what might have been, had the composer not developed into a different voice. Atonal and a-tempo, the work is crafted for five almost individual performances by the ensemble, each of whom proceeds in their own tempo, according to Schickele. The phrases surface and disappear, as fleeting as memory itself. For advanced performers. Duration: c. 7'.
