Par VAN DER ROOST JAN. Since most of the bands competing in the 4th Section of the Dutch National Championships have many young players, this piece is stylistically youthful especially in the opening and closing sections.

Spatzenmesse. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. An unusual feature of this Mass is its cyclic form, a compositional principle which Mozart first introduced in his masses in this 'Mass in C': in the Agnus Dei ('Dona nobis pacem') he reverted to the music of the Kyrie, thus giving the Mass overall musical unity. Another unusual feature of this work is its popular character. This is evident both in its ca…

Three decades later Serge Diaghilev had it choreographed for his Ballets russes ? a sign of its great popularity. ?Pavane? exudes the spirit of Paris?s fêtes galantes at the turn of the century. A version for solo piano appeared in 1889; it was most likely prepa…
