A Quiet Moment Brass Band Set Score And Parts

SKU: BT.DHP-0910329-010

This quiet piece with its broad tones was originally written for brass band on request of Robert Leveugle, chairman of the composers own band: Brass Band Midden Brabant (Belgium). The direct cause was a visit to the beautiful cathedral of theEnglish city Canterbury, in which so many fine compositions sounded throughout the centuries. Later on, Jan Van der Roost rescored this piece for symphonic wind band, exploring the full richness of colours of this formation. Besides solo phrases forseveral instruments, there are some massive tutti passages making the wind orchestra sound like a majestic organ. By the way: an ad libitum organ part adds an extra richness, colour and power to this piece, making it sound even more broad andgrand.

Dieses ruhige Stück mit seinen breiten Tönen wurde ursprünglich für Brass Band geschrieben, im Auftrag von Robert Leveugle, dem Vorsitzenden der Brass Band, dem der Komponist angehört: die Brass Band Midden Brabant (Belgien). Später orchestrierte JanVan der Roost das Stück neu für Symphonisches Blasorchester, wobei er die reichhaltige Klangfarbenpalette dieser Formation voll ausnutzte. Neben Solo-Abschnitten für verschiedene Instrumente gibt es einige massive Tutti-Passagen, die dasBlasorchester wie ein riesiges Organ klingen lassen. Übrigens: Eine optionale Orgelstimme verleiht diesem Stück noch mehr Klangfülle, -farbe und Kraft, sodass es noch breiter und großartiger klingt.

Jan Van der Roost a composé Canterbury Choral la demande de Robert Leveugle, président du Brass Band Midden Brabant. Cette œuvre, empreinte de sérénité et de solennité, s’inspire de la beauté majestueuse de la célèbre cathédrale de la villede Canterbury, haut-lieu, de la culture musicale anglaise. Canterbury Choral alterne des passages en solo et des phrases en tutti. Les sonorités sont amples et rondes. Les courbes sont fluides, légères et brillantes. Les tutti, puissants etsoutenus, rappellent la richesse sonore et la générosité de l’orgue d’église.
Canterbury Choral est dédié Robert et Annie Leveugle.

Uno dei più bei pezzi lenti mai scritti. Ideale per un momento di tranquillit del vostro concerto.

Mercury Rising was commissioned by sinfonisches blasorchester wehdel and its conductor Thomas Ratzek, to celebrate their 50th anniversary in 2018. They premiered this piece in their half-century concert on 2nd November 2018 in the Bremerhaven Stadttheater in Germany. Designed as a virtuosic and lively opener, Mercury Rising opens with nervous energy and driving, syncopated rhythms in a blaze of colour. The horns and saxophones then introduce a broad melody, which the trumpets subsequently take up after a change of tonality. A quieter moment introduces a distant fanfare on muted horns over bubbling semiquavers in the low clarinets. This is interrupted by a passionate tenor melody but soon returns on the full brass section, accompanied by echoes of the opening woodwind figuration, and is extended to bring the piece to a triumphant close.

This classic Clarence Williams composition was written at the very beginning of the Jazz Age and speaks in the Count Basie language. An 8 measure written piano solo feeds into a quiet full ensemble melody with brass in bucket mutes. (Open in stand will do) Well placed unisons and ensemble writing leads to a 16 bar tenor sax solo (suggested written solo is provided) then builds to a final full ensemble shout chorus a minor third higher. Includes an optional flute part. The unique surprise ending will treat the audience and band to a few happy moments. Hint: (Opt. one bar vocal ending).
