Little Suite for Orchestra No. 1: Op 53-Malcolm Arnold is one Britain’s best-loved composers. In 1948 he composed a very short suite for the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain - entitled simply To Youth. Seven years later he took To Youth and made some fairly major revisions including a complete new movement and the Little Suite for Orchestra was born. The Little Suite for Orchestra follows a very similar pattern to the later suites for brass band starting with a bold strident Prelude which strangely ends quietly before a lovely lilting Dance composed in 3/8 time. Finally a rollicking and militaristic March brings the suite to a conclusion. This arrangement for brass band by Robin Norman is sure tobecome a classic in the brass band repertoire.

Durkle Bandrydge is the name of the composers imaginary world but it could very well be anyones invisible dream world with a different name. In this very versatile suite by Bruce Fraser 8 characters are featured each with its ownpeculiarities making Durkle Bandrydge such a colourful place. Do these characters differ that much from us? That is for you to find out! In the last part all characters come together in a special way.Durkle Bandrydge exists at the end ofyour street. It is invisible to humans but Durkle Bandrygators can watch us with great interest. The music will introduce you to some of the characters who live in this unusual place. The parts: Somnanbulyss who is a giant trollguarding the entrance to Durkle Bandryde. At least he is supposed to but he tends to sleep most of the time. His music is therefore very slow moving and sleepy. Long Gwysteen is a tall mysterious and somehow sophisticated character who walls around with a shell on his back. His music glides along rather gracefully. Squelfitch is a rather unpleasant and smelly character who lives in a bog which is why his music sounds rather slimy and a bit like trying to walkthrough quicksand. Perfydlia is a meddling old woman who gossips about everybody and squeals with sudden delight at the small exciting bits of tittletattle about others in the village. In the music you can hear her sudden little squealsof delight. Maryann Lovely is a beautiful young lady graceful gorgeous absolutely devine and her music is obviously just the same. Thistledoo Nicely is a lively character who spends and spends and spends with her credit card buying the latest fashion and never worries about having to pay the bills. Her music reflects her excitement when shopping and het ‘happy go lucky’ approach to life. Marsyn Edginton is the Lord of the manor the richest man in town the‘big cheese’ the man with all the power and of course the biggest house. He is very grand and his music like he could be a king. Jimmy McScotsmyn is a red haired scotsman wearing tartan cap. He misses his home country terribly and eatslots of shortbread oatcakes scotch eggs porridge and drinks an enormous amount of Scotch Wisky which helps him to have fond memories of the kind of music he would like to dance to when he was a younger man. His favourite dance is a Jig andthis is the music he remembers. Grand March of the Durkle Bandrydgators. We hope that you have enjoyed meeting these characters from Drukle Bandrydge and would invite you to listen to all the villagers now march along in a grand parade -it is a pity that you can not see them what is a wonderful sight. If you listen carefully you will hear the melodies which belong to the characters as they march past. Oh what a grand spectacle!

Jean-Michel Defaye’s Suite Marine is a really nice set of six pieces portraying sea animals. Written for Bb Saxhorn Bass Tuba or Euphonium with Piano accompaniment these six pieces are of medium/high difficulty. Each piece tries to re-create the main characteristics of the animal depicted such as their weight using the low range of the instruments and their speed with the Dolphin being faster and lighter than the Sea Lion for example. The Piano accompaniment also uses numerous atonal chords. It features: 1. L’otarie - The Sea Lion 1’35” 2. Le cachalot - The Sperm Whale 1’30” 3. Le requin - The Shark 1’20” 4. L’éléphant de mer - The Elephant Seal 1’20” 5. Le baleineau – The Whale Calf 0’53” 6. Le dauphin – The Dolphin 1’20” The book includes an insert with the instrument-only parts. As a pianist composer producer and arranger Jean-Michel Defaye mainly created pieces for brass and wind instruments. He won the Premier Second Grand Prix de Rome in 1958 and the Belgian Queen Elizabeth composition competition in 1959.

for Brass Quintet and Organ (ad lib.)-L?hymne chrétienne Adeste Fideles [Adeste Fidelis] est également connue sous le nom de Prosa In Nativitáte Dómini ou encore Cantique portugais (parce qu?il fut chanté dans la chapelle de l'ambassade du Portugal à Londres). Depuis la fin du XVIIIe siècle Adeste Fideles est chanté après la bénédiction de Noël dans de nombreuses églises françaises et anglaises. Le texte invite tous les croyants à se rendre à Bethléem pour adorer le Sauveur nouveau-né.L?origine du cantique reste un mystère. On mentionne divers noms de poètes. D?aucuns soutiennent qu?il s?agit d?un noël ancien inspiré d?une danse autour de la crèche. On pense également que SaintFrançois d?Assise s?en serait servi pour sa crèche vivante. D?autres attribuent son origine à Saint Bonaventure un prêtre franciscain contemporain de Saint François qui en aurait composé le texte original en latin au XIIIe siècle. Enfin certains historiens affirment qu?Adeste Fideles aurait été écrit par un poète anonyme français sous le règne de Louis XIV.Quoiqu?il en soit il est communément reconnu que les strophes ont été écrites ou découvertes par l?Anglais John Francis Wade (vers 1710-1786) alors qu?il travaillait en tant que chercheur et copiste à Douai en France. La première version imprimée du cantique date des années 1740. Elle fut ensuite intégrée au recueil Cantus Diversipublié en 1751.Catholique laïc John Francis Wade fuit l?Angleterre en proie à des persécutions religieuses. Vers 1731 il copiait des manuscrits de plain-chant au Collège dominicain de Borhem en Flandre. Plus tard il s?installa à Douai dans le Nord de la France forteresse de la foi catholique où le roi d'Espagne Philippe II avait fondé une université en 1559. Wade gagnait sa vie « en copiant et vendant des manuscrits de plain-chant et d?autres œuvres ». Il fut également professeur de latin et de musique sacrée. La notice nécrologique mentionnait l?excellence de son travail de copiste qu?il réalisa pour des chapelles locales ou des

Jan de Haan a composé Hispaniola pour célébrer le 500e anniversaire de la mort de Christophe Colomb (1451-1506). Né en Italie le jeune Christophe Colomb s?installa à Lisbonne. De là il entreprit ses voyages découverte vers l?Afrique et ailleurs. Adhérent à la thèse que la Terre est ronde il décida de rejoindre l?Asie (Les Indes orientales) en navigant par l?Ouest. En 1492 il embarqua avec une petite flotte battant pavillon espagnol. Après deux mois de navigation il découvrit les premières îles dans la mer des Caraïbes. Persuadé d'avoir atteint l'Asie Colomb baptisa ces nouvelles terres « Les Indes » et les hommes qui les peuplent « les Indiens ». Étonné par laressemblance de certains paysages avec l'Espagne il donna le nom d'Española (Petite Espagne) à l?une des îles (aujourd?hui Haïti et la République dominicaine). Ce nom fut ensuite latinisé en 'Hispaniola'.Hispaniola est une œuvre en trois mouvements sans interruption. Le premier mouvement illustre la préparation du voyage. La précision qui caractérise la musique alterne de manière répétitive avec la décontraction d?une atmosphère typiquement espagnole. Le deuxième mouvement d?allure vive est rempli de surprises rythmiques. Nous suivons Colomb dans son long imprévisible et dangereux périple en mer. Terre en vue ! la cloche du bateau s?ébranle. Nous entrons dans le troisième mouvement. Durant la longue exposition du thème les côtes semblent s?élever lentement de la mer. Puis vient l?euphorie de la découverte de la nouvelle terre. Finalement la musique rayonne dans une intensité lumineuse.
