MARS (135X180) inches. English-German-French-Dutch.
In 1950, Pope Pius XII selected Marche Pontificale from the OrganSymphony No. 1, by French composer Charles Gounod, as the officialhymn of the Vatican. The first rendition of the official hymn took placein the same year, in Saint Peter?s Square in Rome, played by sevenmilitary bands. To celebrate the 80th birthday of Pope Benedict XVI in2007, Wil van der Beek has produced a first-class arrangement of thisfamous work for concert band. Ter gelegenheid van het heilig jaar 1950 bepaalde de toenmalige paus Pius XII dat de Marche Pontificale van de Franse componist Charles Gounod (1818-1893) de officiële hymne van Vaticaanstad zou worden, als opvolger van eenhymne uit 1857 van Vittorino Hallmayr.De nieuwe naam van de mars werd â??Paushymneâ??. De godvruchtige Gounod had het werk in 1869 geschreven voor een jubileum van paus Pius IX. In dat jaar vond de première plaats op het Sint-Pieterpleinin Rome, gespeeld door zeven militaire orkesten. Het was een enorm succes - en ook nu nog is deze muziek zeer geliefd.Wil van der Beek stond garant voor het uitstekende arrangement van dit bekende werk.Marche Pontificale stammt aus der Orgelsymphonie Nr. 1, die Charles François Gounod 1835 zur Ernennung von Papst Pius IX schrieb und die seit 1950 als offizielle Vatikanhymne gilt. Nun liegt sie, pünktlich zum Jubiläumsjahr 2007, in dem unserâ?? Papst Benedikt XVI seinen 80. Geburtstag feierte, in einer neuen Bearbeitung für Blasorchester aus der Feder des erfahrenen Arrangeurs Wil van der Beek vor. En 1950, l'occasion de l'Année Sainte, le Pape Pie XII décida que la Marche pontificale du compositeur français Charles Gounod (1818-1893) deviendrait l'hymne officiel de l'Ã?tat de la Cité du Vatican. La Marche pontificale, comme l'avait appelée son auteur prit alors le nom dâ??Hymne pontifical remplaçant ainsi lâ??ancien hymne (Musica Festiva) composé par Vittorino Hallmayr en 1857.Animé dâ??une foi profonde, Charles Gounod avait composé cette marche en 1869 pour le jubilé sacerdotal du Pape Pie IX. La création eut lieu la même année, sur le parvis de la Basilique Saint-Pierre, par sept fanfares militaires. Lâ???uvre connut un succès immédiat.Elle est toujours appréciée de nos jours.Wil van der Beek en a réalisé un excellent arrangement.

From the Revival collection (octavo packet G-9405, spiral-bound G-9538), this arrangement uses the traditional tune FOUNDATION. The accompaniment has a folk quality that is both compelling and comforting. For added texture (as with all of the pieces in Revival), the final stanza of this hymn can be sung in unison, and includes an alternate harmonization of the accompaniment with a soprano descant.

Windgeboren belongs to a group of works in which musical conceptions are nourished by the wind as a gathering metaphor of the perceptible but invisible natural forces behind the music. In addition to this image a number of other impressions have arisen during the process of composition which have to some extent left their mark on the three strongly contrasting movements, for example, wind and spirit are said to be expressed by the same word in Hebrew. The archangel Michael is portrayed as the weigher of souls in many wonderful Danish frescos. Saint Michael in the role of standard-bearer and soul leader performs in the offertorium of the Requiem Mass. He leads the souls toward clarity, the holy light, the tripartition: beginning - middle - conclusion; birth - life - death; intonation - passage - hymn. This work is dedicated to Die Michaelstrompeter and Markus Stockhausen.

Text: Eric CrozierPublisher: Boosey & HawkesDifficulty level: 3Saint Nicolas (note the name has no 'H' in it!) was written for the centenary of Lancing College in Sussex, the independent secondary boarding school on the south coast of England which Peter Pears had attended in his teens. It has a vast chapel intended by its founder, Revd Nathaniel Woodard, as the cathedral for all the schools of his extensive foundation known collectively as 'Woodard' schools. St. Nicolas is famous for many legendary miracles and for being the original 'Santa Claus'. Crozier's libretto is designed to tell the story of his life, to recount some of his most celebrated acts and to give the audience/congregation the opportunity of joining in two beautiful hymns at key moments: 'All people that on earth do dwell' and 'God moves in a mysterious way his wonders to perform'. The narration is all done by the choir, though the tenor sings first-person narratives as well in his role as the mature Nicolas. The young Nicolas is sung by a boy in movement II. There is a dramatic moment at the end of this movement when the boy's voice does a tumble and the tenor proclaims in the voice of Nicolas as a young man: 'God be glorified'.The third movement is an accompanied recitative in which the soloist sings of Nicolas devoting himself to God through the agonies and torment of the many distractions and temptations of life. His faith wins through and he sings a final touching phrase: 'and Love was satisfied'. The sea whips up a storm in the next movement: 'He journeys to Palestine'. It threatens to overturn the ship and drown everyone on board. There is wailing from the sopranos and altos of the semi-chorus and agonised calls from the tenors and basses to 'man the pumps'. Finally, Nicolas begs God to let the storm cease and offers thanks for their safe delivery. Britten creates a palpable sense of relief in the final pages.In the fifth movement, 'Nicolas comes to Myra and is chosen Bishop', the choir sings chorale-like phrases welcoming him as their new Bishop. They go through his ceremonial dressing with all the accoutrements of his office, the mitre, crozier (nice pun on the librettist's name), robe and ring. An energetic chorus 'Serve the faith and spurn his enemies' leads to the first great hymn - a wonderfully climactic moment. Britten's arrangement is suitably uplifting.The final movement tells of Nicolas' death and the work ends with the other great hymn: 'God moves in a mysterious way'. This work demonstrates to me Britten's generosity of spirit and his natural feeling for enriching the repertoire at all levels of attainment. What a gift!Duration: 50 minutesPaul Spicer, Lichfield, 2011.
