When 18th century British composer Thomas Arne included his song Rule Britannia! in a masque based on the life of Alfred the Great that was presented at Cliveden the country home of Frederick Prince of Wales he could not have imagined that more than two hundred seventy years later his ditty would be known throughout the British Isles and beyond. Rule Britannia! is widely used in the Royal Navy and British Army and is featured each year at the Last Night of the Proms in the Royal Albert Hall as a national sing-along.At the time of writing the Dutch actually ‘ruled the waves ’ so this song was more an exhortation than a status report. The lyrics were also a statement ofcivil liberty. Since Cromwell’s time Britain had had a standing army which could be turned against the native population. A standing navy however existed solely to protect the nation from invaders protecting a free populace.Rule Britannia! has been quoted extensively by other composers among them Beethoven Wagner Strauss and Arthur Sullivan. Thomas Arne also penned a version of God Save The King which came to be the British national anthem.

BLÄSERKLASSE GLOBUS führt junge Musiker vom Proberaum in die weite Welt: Durch alle fünf Kontinente geht es von Amerika über Europa nach Japan und nach Afrika und schließlich zu den Kängurus nach Australien. Als Souvenirs nehmen die Reisenden Eindrücke von den Klangwelten in den verschiedenen Regionen mit. Vertraute Anhaltspunkte sind bekannte Melodien, die hier und da durchklingen, wie zum Beispiel das bekannte Lied von der Brücke in Avignon. Ebenfalls werden, unter anderem mit einem Variationensatz, einer Suite und einem Medley, diverse Gattungen gestreift. Die Stücke bringen nicht nur viel Abwechslung ins Spiel, sondern sie sind auch soarrangiert, dass sie genau auf die Lernfortschritte in Band 1 und 2 von Essential Elements, der kompletten Methode für den Musikunterricht in Schulen und Blasorchestern, Bezug nehmen. Die entsprechenden Kapitel in Essential Elements sind im Inhaltsverzeichnis der Partitur angegeben. Aber auch unabhängig von Essential Elements bieten die im ansteigenden Schwierigkeitsgrad angeordneten Arrangements abwechslungsreiches Spielmaterial für Bläserklassen und Jugendblasorchester. Sind die Stücke im Unterricht erst einmal einstudiert, kann ein buntes, szenisch ausgestaltetes Konzert unter dem Motto Weltreise“ vorbereitet werden. So gehen Spielspaß, Lernerfolg, Erfolgserlebnis und daraus resultierende Motivation Hand in Hand! Sehr nützlich für das Kennenlernen und Einstudieren der Arrangements in BLÄSERKLASSE GLOBUS ist die separat erhältliche CD mit vollständigen Orchesteraufnahmen aller Stücke (Bestellnummer DHR 13-860-3).
