Par VAN DER ROOST JAN. Jan Van der Roost was commissioned to write this hymn by the “International Association for Human Rights” in Frankfurt. The commission specified that the instrumentation of this simple hymn should be so, that it can be performed by a variety of combinations of players. The piece starts with an “intrada” for brass ensemble based on the first bars of the hymn, but is “ad libit…

Par BULLA STEPHEN. The inspiration for this piece, commissioned by the United States Army Band, came from the Gulf and its constant presentation to the world as a media event on television. The composer wanted to capture the colour and events of war as they were played out on the television screen. Composed as a single movement rhapsody, the work is framed by the riveting sounds of airborne bombin…

'Escape from Dead Raider's Hollow' is a fast-paced adventure. Opening quietly, the introduction gradually builds in volume and energy up to a tempo change where the piece takes off and doesn't relent until the end. Combining rhythms of 3 over a pulse of 2 creates a hemiola effect that drives the piece forward, creating a feeling of anxiety and being chased. This is a bombastic, action-packed piece…

Par VILHELMSEN INGEBJORG. 'The Cosmographic Mystery' outlines the great mysteries and secrets of the universe. The musical foundation is a tribute to composer Gustav Holst, and his suite 'The Planets'. Each movement from the suite is quoted in the course of the piece.

Par VAN DER ROOST JAN. Jan van der Roost’s new work Jubilus will make an ideal opening piece for any event. It is in a classical ABA form, beginning with a rising brass fanfare which is quickly replaced by a contrasting expressive lyrical theme. The two themes alternate for a few seconds until an exciting new atmosphere is created with the lively allegro. This eventful piece lets you show off many…

Par WATSON SCOTT. The 14th-century carol, 'Personent hodie,' is both mysterious and powerful. On This Day Earth Shall Ring---a festive processional on the ancient melody arranged by Scott Watson---explores both aspects. Beginning quietly, the modal tune emerges over a chant drone with rustic, medieval percussion. Before long, the piece takes on the joyous character alluded to in the tune's most fa…

Par BARKER WARREN. Ponder for a moment the lengths to which people have gone, the trials they have endured, and the risks they have taken while fighting to gain or preserve their freedom. After all, without freedom, what do you have?The opening of IN PRAISE OF FREEDOM introduces a sense of patriotism and independence. The Brass, Woodwinds, and Percussion take turns sharing the 'spotlight' througho…

Par SPARKE PHILIP. Bacchanalia est une commande du Yokohama Bacchus Brass Orchestra pour marquer son 20e anniversaire, en 2019. L’orchestre souhaitant que le titre de cette courte pièce d’ouverture reflète la référence à Bacchus de son nom, Bacchanalia était un choix idéal. L’esprit du dieu grec du vin imprègne la pièce, avec des thèmes complexes, des motifs enjoués et, parfois, une certaine ambig…
