Satoshi Yagisawa has lived in Ichikawa City, Chiba Prefecture in Japan since he was in elementary school. Around Christmas time every year in Ichikawa City, seven Chiba high school bands hold a joint concert. For the 20th anniversary the composer was asked to write a piece to be performed to close the concert. This piece was first performed in 2010 by Tadashi Yoshida, conductor and close friend of Satoshi Yagisawa, with a combined wind orchestra from Chiba Prefectural Kokubun High School, Chiba Prefectural Ichikawa Nishi High School, Chiba Prefectural Matsudo Mutsumi High School, Chiba Prefectural Matsudo Akiyama High School, Chiba Prefectural Matsudo Yakiri High School,Chiba Prefectural Funabashi Nishi High School and Chiba Prefectural Shiroi High School. The title was chosen from suggestions submitted by participating students. Dream Cruise was chosen by Satomi Otsu, a junior in Chiba Prefectural Matsudo Mutsumi High School Wind Orchestra. The composer skillfully scored this piece and created the chorus part so that all the hundreds of students could participate in the performance. This version has been revised so it can be played without the chorus part.

In de Japanse stad Ichikawa City, de woonplaats van Satoshi Yagisawa, houden zeven schoolorkesten ieder jaar rond kerst een gezamenlijk concert. Met zoveel deelnemers was de componist er veel aan gelegen een werk te orkestreren waaraan iedereen kon deelnemen. Zo componeerde Yagisawa het werk bijzonder zorgvuldig, met toevoeging van een koorpartij. Op deze manier konden alle leerlingen aan het optreden meedoen. Deze herziene versie kunt u zowel mét als zonder koor uitvoeren.

Dream Cruise schrieb der Japaner Satoshi Yagisawa für ein Konzert von einem Zusammenschluss aus sieben Schulblasorchestern seiner Heimatstadt Ichikawa. So war es ihm ein Anliegen, ein besonderes Werk zu schaffen, das er mit großer Sorgfalt orchestrierte und mit einer Chorstimme ausstattete, die eine Aufführung mit einer großen Anzahl an Musikern und Sängern erlaubt, aber auch weggelassen werden kann.

Chaque année, l’époque de Noël, sept orchestres d’harmonie des écoles secondaires de Chiba (Japon) se réunissent pour donner un concert Ichikawa, ville natale du compositeur. Pour marquer le 20e anniversaire de cet événement, le compositeur avait été prié d’écrire une pièce destinée clore le concert. Dream Cruise est une oeuvre fraîche et pétillante mettant l’honneur l’ensemble des pupitres.

Dream Cruise è stata composta da Satoshi Yagisawa per un concerto che includeva sette orchestre di fiati della sua citt natale. Il risultato è un’opera caratterizzata da un’orchestrazione particolarmente curata con parti del coro che consentono un’esecuzione da parte di un numero importante di musicisti e cantanti. Questa versione è stata rivisitata per essere eseguita senza le parti del coro.

English.

Fear, anxiety, adrenaline, and a sheer rush of excitement all take center stage in this musical depiction of a rollercoaster ride. After percussion simulate the sound of a lift hill, the ride is off in an action-packed series of drops, turns, and loops. Eventually the riders get their hands up in the air and revel in the unabashed joy of the moment before the ride comes to its end. Unique and powerful!

Start marching to a new destiny. From an original brass band musical by Michael Brand and Ian Chippandale, March: Song of Socialism is a rousing concert march sure to please any audience. This new arrangement by the composer is for full concert band.

In the Red is an original brass band musical by Michael Brand and Ian Chippendale. It is based on Robert Tressell's famous socialist novel, The Ragged-Trousered Philanthropists, which describes the trials and tribulations, the humour and the marriages of working-class life in Edwardian England. This powerful book has been allied to a powerful score and the show ends with the show's hero, Will Easton, exorting all the working men - painter and decorators - to embrace socialism and overthrow the bosses. In this Song of Socialism, the men start marching to a new destiny. It never happened in England of course, but it did elsewhere! The composer has now arranged this stirring march for Concert Band.
