Confident in its message yet humble of heart, this text speaks to our reliance on Calvary's cross and reminds us of the grace that is at the heart of our faith. The beautifully contoured tune is written in a gracious Celtic hymn style and is given nobility by dotted rhythms that punctuate the powerful text. The effective piano chords of the accompaniment contain many impressionistic color tones, giving the piece a modern sensibility. Strong!

This edition belongs to “Musique vocale françaiseâ€, a series devoted to French vocal repertoire – both in original and transposed key – designed for students and teachers as well as professionals; it includes 35 songs for medium-low voice, with original poems and English translations, that Camille Saint-Saëns composed throughout his entire career. The texts he chose for his music are proofof his excellent literary taste. It is not always easy to see a clear logic when looking at the entire corpus of the composer's melodies, coming to a total of around one-hundred and twenty works. Camille Saint-Saëns was one of the composers responsible for bringing nobility to French melody, thus paving the way for the generation, that of Gabriel Fauré and Henri Duparc, which would elevate it to its highest level.

As the title suggests, a joyful piece, in what I believe the medieval court Jester of the 12th or 13th century would play to entertain the nobility of that time. In the first movement, particular attention should be paid to articulation and phrasing. The cadenzas have scope for as much 'ad lib' as the soloist and accompanist want to give. Rubato can be used on the introductions to each phrase. In the second movement, a quiet lullaby (to put the guests to sleep), phrasing and legato playing should dominate throughout, with lots of feeling and tone. The time signature change should not alter the style of playing. Like the first movement, the third movement (The Wake-up Call) should be lively and energetic. Not played with as much rubato, but with strict adherance to tempo. Inspired by a brilliant recorder player I heard at a concert, this gave me the idea of the medieval Jesters. As a composer, I create the composition. As a musician, you create the music. Thank you for taking an interest in my composition.

Next to the Stabat Mater, the Petite Messe solennelle of 1863 is Rossini's second extensive sacred composition. Ostensibly, the work was an occasional piece, written for the dedication of a private chapel for the once well-to-do Parisian nobility. This explains the reduced instrumental accompaniment for two pianos and harmonium. Of course this instrumental garb, reminiscent of decent, elevated salon music, produces an unmistakable timbre which through its typical Rossini rhythm obtains an additional flair. Score available separately - see item CA.4065000.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote his Hafner Symphony K. 385 in the summer of 1782 on the occasion of the elevation into the nobility of his friend and patron Sigmund Hafner. Next to the well-known movements, this version (A) also contained the March K. 408/2 (385a) and possibly a second, no longer extant minuet. Called Hafner=Musique by Mozart, the work was unquestionably a serenade at first. In early 1783 Mozart then reduced the Hafner Music for his subscription concert at the Vienna Burgtheater on 23 March 1783 to a four-movement symphony. This is the form in which the work was first printed in 1785 (Version B). For a further performance, Mozart added flute and clarinet parts to the symphony. In 1805, this version (C) was published by Andre in Offenbach, who thus began making it known.The primary sources of the present Breitkopf Urtext edition are the autographs to K. 385 and K. 408/2 (385a). It thus becomes possible for the first time to play all three versions of the Hafner Music, since the variants of Versions A and B can be easily discerned through indications in footnotes and notes in small print.

A charming symphonic march based on an 18th Century nursery rhyme and folk tune - probably a parody of British nobility. A happy regimental tune marches through several jolly transformations before the duke and his men stride off into the distance. Great fun!

Composer Modest Moussorgsky (1839-1881) came from the prosperous environment of Russian nobility. In 1865, after his officer’s education, he joined the guard’s regiment in St. Petersburg. Here he met a number of well-known colleague-composers, including Balakirev, Cui, Rimsky- Korsakov and Borodin. They strived to develop a “classical style†of composing while at the same time retaining a strong Russian influence. His opera Boris Godunov tells the tale of Boris, who with the support of the people, declared himself Tsar, but totally fell short of the role. The opera became popular in the re-orchestrated version produced by Rimsky-Korsakov in 1896. Tohru Takahashi has usedthe beautiful musical themes of this opera in Selections from Boris Godunov - a captivating work for concert band.

De oorspronkelijke partituur van Moussorgsky staat echter vol originele vondsten en vooruitstrevende harmonische, melodische en instrumentale details. Tohru Takahashi gebruiktede prachtige muzikale thematiek van deze opera in Selections from Boris Godunov - een boeiend werk voor harmonieorkest.Sein Meisterwerk, die Oper Boris Godunow, schrieb Mussorgski auf der Grundlage des gleichnamigen Dramas von Alexander Puschkin. In diesem Stück erklärt sich Boris Godunow mit Unterstützung des Volkes selbst zum Zaren, versagt aber kläglich in dieser Rolle. Das Werk ist voll von einzigartigen Ideen und damals sehr innovativen harmonischen, melodischen und instrumentalen Details. Tohru Takahashi verwendete in Selections from Boris Godunov die wunderschönen musikalischen Themen der Oper - ein bezauberndes Werk für Blasorchester.Compositeur essentiellement autodidacte, Modest Moussorgski (1839-1881) descend d’une famille aisée de la noblesse russe. Son chef-d’oeuvre lyrique Boris Godounov est basé sur la tragédie d’Alexandre Pouchkine, dans laquelle Boris Godounov, tsar autoproclamé et soutenu par le peuple faillit son rôle. En 1896, l’opéra connaît le succès dans une version retouchée par Rimski-Korsakov. La version originale de Moussorgski contient cependant des idées uniques, des détails harmoniques, mélodiques et instrumentaux innovateurs.

Nel 1896, l’opera conosce il successo in una versione ritoccata da Rimski Korsakov. La versione originale di Mussorgski contiene idee uniche, dettagli armonici, melodici e strumenti innovativi.
