Par HAHN / LARRIEU. Having been considered as a 'fashionable' and 'cliche' composer of his day, Hahn was best known for his contributions to the French Melodie.

Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Bach would almost certainly have approved of this string quartet arrangement of his famous concerto for violin and oboe (BWV 1060) by John Cooley as he was well known for making arrangements of his own works, according to instrumental resources at his disposal. Bach himself made an arrangement of this piece for two solo harpsichords and string orchestra. It is quite ?not…

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…

Choralkantate. Par MENDELSSOHN-BARTHOLDY FELIX. During Mendelssohns years of study with Zelter, the arrangement of chorales already played an important role, and he continued to be occupied with the protestant chorale throughout his symphonic and oratorical work.

Par EVANS RICHARD. Composed in the early 1960s, this marvelous bossa nova may not be as well known as some, but is no less attractive, especially arranged here for young bands by Terry White. A brief duet of trumpet and tenor gives way to the saxes, then ultimately nice rich scoring for the entire band. Also included are solos for tenor sax and trumpet. Nice flow and pacing throughout./ Répertoire…

Originally composed for the Harpsichord, Organ or early Pianoforte, the Sonatas display the riveting use of discords and unconve…
