GRADE LEVEL: SOARING BAND SERIES (Grade 2.5)

OTHER ASSOCIATED SERIES: LIMITED OR FULL BAND SERIES
WHAT IS THE LIMITED OR FULL BAND SERIES FROM C.DURIGG MUSIC?

Do you have intermediate or advanced performers in a very small band program? Are your performers ready for more intermediate or advanced band repertoire, yet the band’s limited instrumentation holds them back?

My Limited or Full series is geared toward the success of small bands with limited instrumentation. These pieces aim at giving small bands more advanced music within the framework of a young band arrangement. If you like the music, these pieces also sound great with a larger full instrumentation.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Lo, How A Rose E’er Blooming (originally known as Es ist din Ros entsprungen) is a German Christmas Carol and Marian hymn in mixed meter. First sung in the 15th Century and first published int he 16th Century, this hymn is still popular in the 21st Century. In multiple different contexts, the hymn compares the beauty of Christmas to that of a lovely rose. The most common harmonization to this melody was composted by Michael Praetorius in 1609, and the original part-writing contains elements of the Renaissance madrigal. Although this band arrangement is rescored with different part-writing, it pays some homage to the musical traditions employed in the original carol. This theme and variations is a mixture of four different scoring methods: modern Christmas Carol; gently-applied lyrical contemporary; Renaissance imitation; and a bombastic, Romantic orchestral finish. This piece features multiple subtle musical sensibilities and a gentle introduction into the world of mixed meter. I sincerely hope you enjoy this arrangement!

Lorem ipsum is an anonymous text that since the 15th century has been used by typographers to show the size and make of typefaces. The text distorts the original font found in Cicero’s De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum (1.10.32-33). There are various versions of the text, some comic, others absurd or even devoid of verbal sense. In that sense it is used here so as not to disturb the musical entertainment. It functions, therefore, as vocables without any message other than the purely musical.

The complex {4 [2, 2], 3 [2, 1]}, taken from the dedicatory’s name, organizes the whole work.

Composed by Anonymous. Arranged by Drake Mabry. Classical. Score and parts. 7 pages. Drake Mabry #3079037. Published by Drake Mabry (A0.799487).

Personet Armonia comes from a collection of music composed in Cyprus during the beginning of the 15th century. Many French musicians and composers were active at the Cypriot court, and the town of Nicosia became one of the most important centers of the Ars Subtilior style. This piece provides a perfect introduction to the beautiful and mysterious world of this 14th and 15th century musical style. The duration is 3'50.

The King, Janus I de Lusignan (1374-1432), was one of the most important figures in the music life of Cyprus. His daughter Anna, upon her marriage to Louis, Count of Geneva, took with her a thick manuscript, written between 1413 and 1426.

It consists of 159 folios containing over two hundred polyphonic compositions both sacred and secular. Two peculiarities make this manuscript unique: first, not a single composer is mentioned by name; and second, each work is without exception a unique copy: not one has ever been found in any other manuscript. This, then, is the only record of the Cypriot Ars Subtilior style.

The central compositional concern of those working in the Cypriot Ars Subtilior style was the logical, consistent attainment of the polyphonic ideal. Each voice is completely independent of the others, and moves through the polyphonic fabric to form a contour of its own. As to rhythm, Cypriot compositional technique is extremely complex. Ample use was made of rhythmic novelties such as syncopation, color and proportion, and new note symbols permitted the representation of note values that had previously defied graphical rendering. Thus, metric accents in the different voices almost never coincide, and the laws of rhythm were at times out of joint. In fact, a rhythm that was regular and without syncopation would stand out immediately as particularly conspicuous detail. 

I have also adapted this trio in versions for either clarinets or recorders. Paul Van Nevel has recorded a version for three sackbuts with his Huelgas Ensemble.
