Diese Suite in c-Moll zollt einem berühmten klassischen Blaserwerk Tribut - der Ersten Suite in Es-Dur von Gustav Holst von 1909 - und erscheint zu deren 100-jahrigem Jubilaum. Die viersatzige Suite erinnert an die Stilistik von Holst, enthalt aber auch charakteristische Klangidiome sowie Strukturmerkmale von Jacob de Haan. Eine erfrischende originale Komposition, inspiriert von einem durchaus nicht angestaubten Klassiker. En 1909, Gustav Holst composa une œuvre audacieuse et novatrice, la Premiere Suite en Mib Majeur, op. 28 ndeg1 (First Suite in Eb major, Op. 28, No. 1), une suite exclusivement ecrite pour instruments a vent. A l'occasion du centenaire de cette piece, devenue un classique du repertoire pour Orchestre d'Harmonie, Jacob de Haan a compose la Memorial Suite en Ut mineur. Cette composition en quatre mouvements fait reference aux qualites stylistiques de l'œuvre de Holst, tout en s'appuyant sur le langage sonore et l'ecriture caracteristiques du style de Jacob de Haan. Le resultat est original.Comme Gustav Holst, Jacob de Haan a choisi d'ouvrir sasuite avec une chaconne, une forme de variation contrapuntique (a l'origine une danse espagnole a trois temps) dans laquelle un theme revient de facon recurrente accompagne a chaque fois par un nouveau contre-chant. Ce theme ostinato est utilise de differentes manieres tout au long des quatre mouvements, assurant ainsi l'unite de l'œuvre. Le second mouvement est un scherzo. Par sa progression et son caractere, il s'apparente a l'intermezzo central de la suite de Holst. Le troisieme mouvement, Song Without Words (Chanson sans paroles), porte le meme titre que le second mouvement de la Deuxieme Suite en Fa, op. 28 ndeg 2 (Second Suite in F, Op. 28, No. 1) composee par Holst en 1911. A mi-chemin de ce mouvement tres expressif apparait un solo de saxophone alto. Jacob de Haan conclut son œuvre par une Marche comme le fit jadis Gustav Holst.

About Build-A-Band Series
The Build-A-Band Series provides educational and enjoyable music for bands with incomplete or unbalanced instrumentation.

All of the publications in the Build-A-Band Series have been arranged to be playable with any instrumentation as long as each part is used: 1st Part, 2nd Part, 3rd Part, 4th Part, and Bass Part. (Please note: In some of these arrangements the 4th Part, and the Bass Part are the same, making it possible to play those arrangements with only 4 parts.)
