The Wooden Clock was composed for students in the early stages of musical development and employs basic rhythms and techniques in a creative and fun manner. Keeping time as a musician is essential, and this clever work reminds young musicians of that important responsibility in music making. Wood blocks are also used to mimic the ticking of a clock, and the entire band gets involved as they whisper tick, tock, tick, tock in several places.

This classic chart is taken directly from the original ink parts that were on the stands at the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra (now the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra) debut performance in February 1966 and continue to be played by the group Monday nights at the Village Vanguard in New York City. Originally commissioned by Count Basie for an entire album of Thad Jones' music, but Basie never made the record, and suggested that Thad start his own band instead. From that advice, Thad formed the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra. Based on the chord changes to I Got Rhythm, this uptempo advanced level chart maintains the swinging Basie mindset and is in a 32-measure AABA form. Duration 8:50.

Met Schindler's List, een film over het leven van Oskar Schindler, een Duits industrieel die in de Tweede Wereldoorlog met de inzet van al zijn financiele middelen meer dan 1100 Joden redde van de dood in Auschwitz, schreefregisseur Steven Spielberg filmgeschiedenis. De muziek bij deze - in Amerika met maar liefst zeven Oscars bekroonde - film werd geschreven door John Williams, de componist met wie Spielberg in het verleden al meer succesvolle productiesmaakte (onder andere Indiana Jones, Jawa, E.T. en Jurassic Park). Jan de Haan maakte een inspirerende bewerking van het pakkende thema uit Schindler's List.Die verbluffend leidenschaftlichen Melodien aus John Williams Musik zum Film Schindlers Liste flossen in dieses Arrangement ein, das Musiker und Publikum gefangen nehmen wird. Die herrlich einfachen Melodien spiegeln sowohl die Traurigkeit als auch die Hoffnung, um die es in Spielbergs Film geht, wider. Bewegend und mitreissend! Avec cinq Oscars, trois British Awards decernes par l'industrie cinematographique britannique, trois Golden Globes, quatre Emmy Awards, dix-huit Grammy Awards, d'innombrables disques d'or et de platine, John Williams (1932) est le plus celebre et le plus accompli de tous les compositeurs de musiques de film. Composant dans le style classique et possedant une fibre melodique immensement riche, il seduit par la brillance orchestrale et la beaute lyrique de ses œuvres. Son nom est indissociable de celui du cineaste americain Steven Spielberg. C'est pour lui qu'il a compose le plus de bandes originales, parmi lesquelles E.T., Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, Il faut sauver lesoldat Ryan, et la sublime bande originale du film La Liste de Schindler pour laquelle il recoit un Oscar en 1994.
