Romberg's adaptation of melodies by Franz Schubert for Lilac Time (1921) and started him on the path to greatness. He subsequently wrote his best-known operettas, The Student Prince (1924), The Desert Song (1926) and The New Moon (1928), which were in a style similar to the Viennese operettas of Franz Lehar. He also wrote Rosalie (1928) together with George Gershwin. His later works, such as Up in…

Par BLANKEN JOHN. John Blanken has created a swinging arrangement of the famous Scottish traditional tune Scotland the Brave. The usual version with bagpipes is the best known and there is a similarity in Swingin’ Kilts owing to its long, drone-like tones in the accompaniment. The theme has been rhythmically adapted but it is still easily recognisable. Swingin’ Kilts holds a challenge for every br…

Par VAUGHAN WILLIAMS RALPH. The Piano Quintet in C is a substantial and superbly written work lasting some 30 minutes. The first movement, marked Allegro con fuoco, is expansive, loquacious and filled with late romantic passion, its harmonies Brahmsian for the most part but tinged with modality in the quieter passages. The expressive romantic melody of the Andante second movement is fully characte…

Par ASSAD SERGIO. L’influence de la musique de Frédéric Chopin sur la musique brésilienne remonte au XIXe siècle. À l’époque, les compositions de Chopin ont déjà commencé à façonner le style pianistique d’Ernesto Nazareth, souvent considéré comme le père de la musique brésilienne. Au XXe siècle, d’autres compositeurs se sont également inspirés des belles mélodies de Chopin. Un exemple notable est …

Par HANNICKEL MIKE. This one is just right for the 'encore march' at your next young band concert, or anywhere a bright march is appropriate. Some carefully chosen accidentals keep things interesting, but there are no more than one or two for any given instrument, keeping the technical demands easily within the abilities of a Grade 1 band. If your school mascot happens to be the Eagle, you may wis…

Par DAUGELA KAZYS. The contemporary Lithuanian composer Kazys Daugla created Festive Rock in celebration of the 2003 Lithuanian national holiday.

for Alto & Tenor Saxopone. Par KOCH CLAUS HENRY. Though I consider myself to be primarily a jazz performer, classical music - above all instrumental baroque music and Viennese Classicism - have always been very important to me. For quite a long time, particular elements characterizing these styles of music have occasionally been integrated in some of my jazz compositions. With these pieces, I am n…

La réputation du compositeur Bohême Zdenek Fibich (1850-1900) a toujours été quelque peu éclipsée par celle de Bedrich Smetana et Antonín Dvorák. C'est fort dommage, pour Fibich, bien qu'il est mort jeune, apporté une contribution tout aussi importante à l'émergent styl national tchèque avec son large éventail de compositions. Après le début des leçons de piano avec sa mère comme son premier maîtr…

Par DALE MIKE. This piece in 3/4, begins with a chromatic cascading effect, reminiscent of the entertainers entering a circus ring. After the first section, based on semiquavers and a walking baritone part, the feel changes to triplets, but retains the jaunty feel throughout. Mike Dale / Date parution : 2024-04-27/ Répertoire / 4 Saxophones

This song was performed during Michael’s first solo world tour that started from Japan (Korakuen Stadium) in Sep…

Par JANACEK LEOS. One of Leos Janàcek 's last chamber music works was written in the autumn of 1926 at the suggestion of the pianist Otakar Hollmann (1894& 1967), an invalid from the First World War. Like his contemporary Paul Wittgenstein, Hollmann urged composers to write something for Piano left hand; he succeeded in winning over Bohuslav Martinu, Erwin Schulhoff and Janàcek to do this. Janàcek…
