Fassung Ii. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. The St. John Passion ranks alongside the St. Matthew Passion, the Christmas Oratorio, the Magnificat and the B minor Mass as one of the great vocal works from Johann Sebastian Bach’s Leipzig years. In contrast to his other large-scale choral works, however, Bach never gave this work a definitive final form. Rather, for every performance he substantially revis…

Tonalité : D-Dur - Op.: 86 -. Par DVORAK ANTONIN. With its traditional forms and proven compositional models, its original ideas, which are sometimes marked by a folk- or folksong-like melodic character, and with its harmonic richness, Dvorák’s D major Mass serves in its liturgical context to express the worship of God. The Mass is characterized by lyrical meditation rather than by dramatic immedi…

Par CAMPOGRANDE NICOLA. The score is inspired by the urban gardens that are becoming a new, exciting presence in our cities. In such a setting I imagined the piano as an urban memory and the string trio as a green, vegetal presence that surrounds it. Doing that, I created in my mind three special places to develop the different movements of the score. The first is indeed ideally On a Concert Hall …

King Arthur (Arr. Laurie). Par PURCELL HENRY. King Arthur was the only one of Purcell's professionally produced operas to have been designed as a semi-opera - the others were all adaptations of earlier plays. Dryden made a real attempt to integrate the music into the drama, but since he ascribed to the dramatic conventions of the period which virtually confined music to allegorical or supernatural…

Passionskantate. Par HOMILIUS GOTTFRIED AUGUST. He was without argument our greatest church composer, wrote the lexicographer E. L. Gerber a few years after Homilius's death in 1785. As a result of the destruction of the Kreuzkirche during the Seven Years War, the longtime Kreuzkantor, a pupil of Bach, performed his professional musical duties primarily at the Frauenkirche in Dresden. The Passions…

Musically depicting a meteor event that occurs in the Earth's atmosphere each day, this energetic composition provides the opportunity to teach dramatic playing. With very few notes and rhythms that are no more complex than quarter notes, eighth-note rhythms are introduced through clapping and stomping. The brighter the meteor, the more rare the event. (2:15) / Concert Band

for String Orchestra Score. Par SIBELIUS JEAN / LATHAM LYNNE (Arr.). This arrangement keeps the dramatic character of the original, but in changing the key to D minor, avoids some of the messy chromaticism. The introduction features the low strings and there are moments for just the 1st 2 desks to shine. This rousing work will most certainly enhance the tone production of your group!/ Répertoire /…

Par DE HAAN JACOB. This composition is based on a passacaglia theme, in which artistic perfection, symphonic drama and oriental melody lines play a role. The passacaglia is originally a dance made up of a series of variations above a bass line constantly present as an ostinato. It is not in this sense that the 'Symphonic Variations' are in the passacaglia form but in the sense of the open form of …
