David R. Holsinger returns to the band world with this first major composition written since his 2015 stroke. Commissioned to pay homage to Phi Beta Mu Band Fraternity, it contains all those Holsinger compositional fingerprints we enjoy playing. The plaintive opening prelude, the poly-chordal texture, followed by the robust presto we expect from this composer. Vigorous asymmetrical melodies, jubilant rhythms, fluctuating accents, poly-lineal textures, multi-layered, and electrifying excitement to the end!

One of Frederic Chopin's best known works, Prelude, Op. 28, No. 4, presents emotion-packed performance opportunities for bands at all levels. This new Ed Huckeby transcription for band provides an almost literal translation of Chopin's original work with tremendous musical challenges in both the interpretive and dynamic realms, providing the ensemble an opportunity to explore musical possibilities which might be less attainable in a more technical piece. The recognizable melodic and harmonic structures will make this piece a real hit with concert audiences and provides an opportunity to teach the musical styles of the greatest 19th century composer of piano music. Great music!

During his short lifetime Max Reger (1873-1916) was a prolific composer with many of his best known works being composed for organ. The ten chorale preludes in this selection are from his set of Thirty Short Chorale Preludes Op.135a composed as short voluntaries for liturgical use rather than for recitals in these arrangements Philip Sparke has kept this in mind and each prelude can be performed with minimal instrumentation for those occasions where a small band is needed. They also make great pieces for band warm-ups or studies in intonation, sound and balance.Tijdens zijn korte leven was Max Reger (1873-1916) een productief componist; veel van zijn beste werken zijn geschreven voor orgel. De tien koraalpreludes in deze selectie zijn afkomstig uit zijn set van dertig kleine koraalpreludes, opus 135a, die werden gecomponeerd als tussenspelen voor liturgisch gebruik, en niet zozeer voor recitals. Philip Sparke heeft hier rekening mee gehouden zodat elke prelude kan worden uitgevoerd met een minimale instrumentatie bij gelegenheden die een klein ensemble vereisen. De preludes zijn ook heel geschikt als warming-ups of oefeningen in intonatie, sound en klankbalans.Max Reger komponierte während seines recht kurzen Lebens eine Fülle an Werken vieler Genres. Diese zehn Präludien stammen aus 30 kleine Vorspiele zu den gebräuchlichsten Chorälen für Orgel. Sie waren ursprünglich eher als Voluntaries im liturgischen Rahmen, denn als Vortragsstücke gedacht. In seinem Arrangement für Brass Band berücksichtigte Philip Sparke diesen Verwendungszweck und machte sie für eine minimale Besetzung spielbar. Die Präludien eignen sich auch hervorragend als Aufwärmstücke oder als Stimm-, Klang- oder Balanceübungen und sie können in verschiedenen Zusammenstellungen als kleine Suiten aufgeführt werden.Pendant sa courte vie, Max Reger (1873-1916) était un compositeur prolifique dont la plupart des œuvres les plus célèbres furent composées pour orgue. Les dix préludes de choral de cette sélection sortent de ses Trente petits Préludes-Choral op.135a, composés comme morceaux d’orgue pour usage liturgique plutôt qu’ des récitals. Dans ses arrangements, Philip Sparke a gardé cela l’esprit et chaque prélude peut être interprété avec une instrumentation minimale lors d’évènements où un petit ensemble est nécessaire. Ils conviennent aussi comme pièces d’échauffement ou études en intonation, son et balance.
