Par KRZANOWSKI ANDRZEJ. Relief VII (1988) is a composition in which we can hear echoes of phrases contained in Programme no. 6 and Relief IV. This time they are evoked by tubular bells in secundal-tritonal motifs and, in general, by other percussion instruments. The accordion part is dominated by the narrative of unrestrained repetition, often based on broken ninth structures, ending with four sil…

Mathias' Sonatina, originally composed in 1953 but revised in 1986, is a slighter yet more approachable work. A considerable amount of straight repetition renders the music easily assimilable. For instance, both main themes in the opening sonata movement are repeated during the exposition; similarly a large stretch of the development consists simply of a transposed version of a previous passage. O…

Born in England, he studied in various cities including Berlin and composed works for unaccompanied violin, orchestra and string quartet. “Polish Dance” is his best-known work.

It's been performed by Elvis, Stevie Wonder, and a host of others, but it was the Tennessee Ernie Ford recording that brought this song to national attention and the top of the Billboard charts. Great voice-leading and a tight rhythmic groove make it fun to sing. / Choeur TBB

Stephen Warbeck's Oscar-winning music from the hit film 'Shakespeare in Love' has been skillfully arranged by Tony Osbourne into a four-movement suite for intermediate string ensemble.

Polka. Par GREINER THOMAS G.. Mit Thomas G. Greiner stellt sich ein neuer Komponist und Arrangeur im Autorenteam von „Ernst Hutter & Die Egerländer Musikanten - Das Original“ vor. Seine Polka Musikantenleben, die sich durch kleine Raffinessen in Harmonik und Rhythmik auszeichnet, widmete er dem „Musikantenleben“ von Ernst Hoffmann, dem Komponisten und ehemaligen Korpsführer des Gebirgsmusikkorps 8…

Par KAPUSTIN NIKOLAI. This short duet by contemporary Russian composer Nikolai Kapustin has a driving syncopated rhythm and edgy harmonic palette. Kapustin makes good use of both the cello?s rich sonority and its more hard-edged character to underpin the flute?s almost incessant virtuosic outpourings. There is tense rhythmic interplay between the instruments, making it a hugely enjoyable piece for…

Scored for small bands with reduced instrumentation. / Marching Band

Par GIACCHINO MICHAEL / MOORE LARRY (Arr.). Larry Moore's arrangement of several themes from the acclaimed Spider-Man: No Way Home captures both the drive and the pathos from within the movie. This arrangement requires both some higher position work and rhythmic reading from all players, but they will find the challenge worthwhile! / Date parution : 2022-11-29/ Répertoire / Ensemble de Cordes

Swing it William!. Par BLANKEN JOHN. The King's Swing basiert auf der niederländischen Nationalhymne Wilhelmus. John Blanken präsentiert diese aber zur Abwechslung in einem völlig neuen Gewand als Swingnummer. Blankens Werk enthält eine Reihe verschiedener Elemente: die rhythmisch angepasste Melodie, einen Walking Bass, eine Gegenstimme und eine rhythmische Begleitung. Eine witzige Idee, gekonnt u…
