Royal Coronation Dances is the first sequel to the Fanfare Ode & Festival, both being settings of dance music originally arranged by Gervaise in the mid 16th-century (the next sequel is The Renaissance Fair, which uses music of Susato and Praetorius). Fanfare Ode & Festival has been performed by many tens of thousands of students, both in high school and junior high school. I have heard that some of them are amazed that the music they are playing was first played and danced to over 400 years ago. Some students tend to think that music started with Handel and his Messiah to be followed by Beethoven and his Fifth Symphony, with naught in between or before of consequence. Although Royal Coronation Dances is derived from the same source as Fanfare Ode & Festival, they are treated in different ways. I envisioned this new suite programmatically -- hence the descriptive movement titles, which I imagined to be various dances actually used at some long-ago coronation. The first movement depicts the guests, both noble and common, flanked by flag and banner bearers, arriving at the palace to view the majestic event. They are festive, their flags swirling the air, their cloaks brightly colored. In the second movement, the queen in stately measure moves to take her place on the throne as leader and protector of the realm. In the third movement, the jesters of the court entertain the guests with wild games of sport. Musically, there are interesting sonorities to recreate. Very special attention should be given to the tambourine/tenor drum part in the first movement. Their lively rhythms give the movement its power. Therefore they should be played as distinctly and brilliantly as possible. The xylophone and glockenspiel add clarity, but must not be allowed to dominate. Observe especially the differing dynamics; the intent is to allow much buzzing bass to penetrate. The small drum (starting at meas. 29) should be played expressively, with attention to the notated articulations, with the brass light and detached, especially in a lively auditorium. It is of some further interest that the first dance is extremely modal. The original is clearly in G mixolydian mode (scale: G-A-B-C-D-E-F-G). However, other editors might put in F-sharps in many places (changing the piece almost to G major), in the belief that such ficta would have been automatically put in by the 16th-century performers as they played. I doubt it. I have not only eschewed these within the work, but even at the cadences. So this arrangement is most distinctly modal (listen to the F-naturals in meas. 22 and 23, for instance), with all the part-writing as Gervaise wrote it. In the second movement, be careful that things do not become too glued together. In the 16th century this music might have been played by a consort of recorders, instruments very light of touch and sensitive to articulation. Concert band can easily sound heavy, and although this movement has been scored for tutti band, it must not sound it. It is essential, therefore, that you hear all the instruments, with none predominating. Only when each timbre can be heard separately and simultaneously will the best blend occur, and consequently the greatest transparency. So aim for a transparent, spacious tutti sound in this movement. Especially have the flutes, who do this so well, articulate rather sharply, so as to produce a chiffing sound, and do not allow the quarter-notes to become too tied together in the entire band. The entrance of the drums (first tenor, then bass) are events and as such should be audible. Incidentally, this movement begins in F Major and ends in D Minor: They really didn't care so much about those things then. The third movement (one friend has remarked that it is the most Margolisian of the bunch, but actually I am just getting subtler, I hope) again relies upon the percussion (and the scoring) to make its points. Xylophone in this movement is meant to be distinctly audible. Therefore, be especially sure that the xylophone player is secure in the part, and also that the tambourine and toms sound good. This movement must fly or it will sink, so rev up the band and conduct it in 1 for this mixolydian jesting. I suppose the wildly unrelated keys (clarinets and then brass at the end) would be a good 16th-century joke, but to us, our put-up-the-chorus-a-half-step ears readily accept such shenanigans.

Duration: 15' Performing Materials: score and parts Published by: Dunsinane Music Publishing Composer's Note: A fancy is an English version of the Italian capriccio, a form introduced in the 16th century for works in various media wherein the force of imagination has better success than observation of the rules of art (Furetière, Dictionnaire universel). The term is also used to describe a suite of dances. Fred’s Fancies is a series of six dances that are quite capricious in nature, a fair portrait of the person to whom the work is dedicated. The suite’s musical material is introduced in the first movement, an athletic Allegro. The following four movements emphasize some aspect of the first. The second, Waltz, is a quiet variation of the first movement’s opening gesture. The third, Manic, combines the opening gesture with a secondary theme emphasizing descending perfect fourths separated by half-steps. The fourth movement, Arioso, re-visits themes from the Waltz, now set in a freer rhythm. The fifth, Favotte, combines elements of the gavotte with fugal episodes. The cycle culminates in a speedy final movement, Vivace, that brings back the all principal themes of cycle.

Hava Nagila (the title means ‘let us rejoice’) is perhaps the best known example of a style of Jewish music called ‘klezmer’. Klezmer music originated in the ‘shtetl’ (villages) and the ghettos of Eastern Europe, where itinerant Jewish troubadours, known as ‘klezmorim’, had performed at celebrations, particularly weddings, since the early Middle Ages.‘Klezmer’ is a Yiddish term combining the Hebrew words ‘kley’ (instrument) and ‘zemer’ (song) and the roots of the style are found in secular melodies, popular dances, Jewish ‘hazanut’ (cantorial music) and also the ‘nigunim’, the wordless melodies intoned by the ‘Hasidim’ (orthodox Jews).Since the 16th century, lyrics hadbeen added to klezmer music, due to the ‘badkhn’ (the master of ceremony at weddings), to the ‘Purimshpil’ (the play of Esther at Purim) and to traditions of the Yiddish theatre, but the term gradually became synonymous with instrumental music, particularly featuring the violin and clarinet. The melody of Hava Nagila was adapted from a folk dance from the Romanian district of Bucovina. The commonly used text is taken from Psalm 118 of the Hebrew bible.

Hava Nagila (de titel betekent ‘laat ons gelukkig zijn’) is misschien wel het bekendste voorbeeld van klezmer, een Joodse muziekstijl.De klezmermuziek komt van oorsprong uit de sjtetls (dorpen) en de getto’s van Oost-Europa, waar rondtrekkende Joodse troubadours, bekend als klezmorim, al sinds de middeleeuwen hadden opgetreden bij feestelijkheden, en dan met name bruiloften.Klezmer is een Jiddische term waarin de Hebreeuwse woorden kley (instrument) en zemer (lied) zijn samengevoegd. De wortels van de stijl liggen in wereldlijke melodieën, volksdansen, de joods-liturgische hazanut en ook de nigunim, de woordeloze melodieën zoals die worden voorgedragen doorchassidische (orthodoxe) joden.Sinds de 16e eeuw zijn er aan de klezmermuziek ook teksten toegevoegd, dankzij de badchen (de ceremoniemeester bij huwelijken), het poerimspel (het verhaal van Esther tijdens Poerim/het Lotenfeest) en tradities binnen het Jiddische theater, maar de term werd geleidelijk synoniem aan instrumentale muziek met een hoofdrol voor de viool en klarinet.De melodie van Hava Nagila is afkomstig van een volksdans uit de Roemeense regio Boekovina. De meest gebruikte tekst voor het lied kom uit psalm 118 van de Hebreeuwse Bijbel.

Hava Nagila (auf Deutsch ‚Lasst uns glücklich sein’) ist vielleicht das bekannteste Beispiel für den jüdischen Musikstil namens ‚Klezmer’. Klezmermusik hat ihren Ursprung in den Shtetls“ (Städtchen) und den Ghettos Osteuropas, woumherziehende jüdische Troubadours, die man ‚Klezmorim’ nannte, schon seit dem frühen Mittelalter auf Feiern, vor allem Hochzeiten, zu spielen pflegten. Klezmer ist ein jiddischer Begriff, der sich aus den hebräischen Wörtern ‚kley’(Instrument) und ‚zemer’ (Lied) zusammensetzt. Die Wurzeln des Musikstils liegen in weltlichen Melodien, populären Tänzen, jüdischem ‚Chasanut’ (Kantorengesang) und auch ‚Niggunim’, Melodien ohne Text, vorgetragen von den‚Chassidim’ (orthodoxen Juden). Seit dem 16. Jahrhundert wurden die Klezmermelodien mit Texten versehen, was auf die ‚Badchan’ (Zeremonienmeister bei Hochzeiten), auf das ‚Purimshpil’ (Das Esther-Spiel zum Purimfest) und aufTraditionen des jiddischen Theaters zurückgeht. Der Begriff Klezmer wurde jedoch mit der Zeit gleichbedeutend mit Instrumentalmusik, im Besonderen mit den Instrumenten Violine und Klarinette. Die Melodie von Hava Nagila ist eine Adaption einesVolkstanzes aus der rumänischen Bukowina. Der üblicherweise verwendete Text stammt aus Psalm 118 der hebräischen Bibel.

Hava Nagila (qui signifie Réjouissons-nous) est sans aucun doute la chanson traditionnelle hébra que de style klezmer la plus connue de toutes.La musique klezmer est née dans les shtetl (villages) et les ghettos d’Europe de l’Est, où les baladins juifs ambulants, appelés klezmorim, célébraient toutes sortes de cérémonies, en particulier les mariages, et ce depuis le début du Moyen- ge.Le terme yiddish klezmer est la combinaison de deux mots : klei, que l’on peut traduire par instrument et zemer qui veut dire chanson. Cette tradition musicale tire ses origines dans les mélodies profanes, les danses populaires, la musique juive hazanout (musique vocale) ainsi que les nigunim,les mélodies sans paroles entonnées par les hassidim (juifs orthodoxes).Au cours du XVIe siècle, les paroles ont été ajoutées la musique klezmer, afin d’illustrer le rôle du badkhn (le maître de cérémonie lors des mariages), le pourim-shpil (monologue où est paraphrasé le livre d’Esther) ou encore les traditions liées au thé tre yiddish, mais le terme est progressivement devenu synonyme de musique instrumentale, en particulier dans une interprétation au violon et la clarinette.La mélodie Hava Nagila a été adaptée partir d’une danse folklorique de la région roumaine de Bucovine. Le texte, couramment utilisé, est extrait du Psaume 118 de la bible hébra que.
