Par DE HAAN JACOB. A collection of 5 short works in pop style which can be performed by any kind of compilation. The titles can be presented on the programme as separate works but the Universal Band Collection can also be performed as a complete suite. From a didactic point of view it is a suitable work to teach musicians something about the structure in music. For this purpose not only the big structure but also the small structure was kept very clear. Western Girl : A girl from the west of the USA rides her horse across the prairie, dreaming of her future. The rough structure: introduction - theme in a blues scale - the same thing in a different instrumentation - finale. Just a ballad : A balladin pop style with a rough A-B-A form. First there is the introduction of the main theme (A), then follows a tenor melody in minor with a rhythmical reference to the main theme (B). Finally there is the main melody, performed tutti with a different rhythm in the drums (A'). Play the Game : An English saying meaning: play fairly. Playful music in up-tempo with a wink to China, where almost all games are manufactured nowadays. Once again an A-B-A structure here. San Diego : A Mexican fugitive enjoys his freedom in America but also remembers his place of birth with melancholy. A sad minor melody with a straight trendy beat appears twice. The second time it has a slightly different instrumentation, in which the muted trumpets represent the Mexican feeling. Final Dance : Eventually there is a dance with an introduction in renaissance style, followed by a fast dance in rock style. All this composed in a classical song structure: introduction, verse, bridge, chorus, shortened verse, bridge, chorus, chorus. / Niveau : 2 / Musique légère originale / Répertoire / Brass Band

Edward Gregson's Occasional Pieces for Brass Quintet. Processional (1992) for brass quintet was commissioned by the University of Sunderland to celebrate their first graduation ceremonies under university status. These were held at the Empire Theatre Sunderland during November 1992. The commission was partly funded by Northern Arts.

Trio for Horns and Brass Band-Cette composition dévoile toutes les facettes des altos. Très longtemps confiné dans un rôle d?accompagnement l?alto est devenu ces dernières années un protagoniste à part entière du brass band.Horns enjoying themselves (?Les altos s?amusent?) est une œuvre divertissante qui séduit à la fois les musiciens et le public. Le premier tableau s?inspire de l?univers du cirque. Les mélodies espiègles sont accompagnées de dissonances fantaisistes et humoristiques. Le second passage est un voyage lent et serein qui dévoile les couleurs moelleuses et lumineuses de l?alto. Le troisième et dernier tableau s?ouvre avec une cadence des solistes (seuls). Écrit sur un rythmeternaire il exploite le brio technique des solistes.

In its original form the Suite was written in answer to a commission from the Farnham Festival and was first performed on 11 May 1971. I was however not entirely satisfied with it and did not pass it for publication until 1982 when I revised it in considerable detail. In its revised form it was first performed on 18 June 1983 at Monash University Melbourne.The music requires little explanation. The titles of each of the five movements indicate their character: 'Fanfare'; 'Dance' which has Elizabethan overtones; 'Popular Song' which explores jazz rhythms and harmonies; 'Ceremony' - a solemn chorale; and 'Finale' a light-hearted Rondo with fugal touches. The overallintention is simply to entertain both the players and their audiences.

Le choral Für deinen Thron tret? ich hiermit de Jean-Sébastien Bach est au centre de cette composition.Anton Bruckner fut un des plus fervents admirateurs de Jean-Sébastien Bach. D?ailleurs cette admiration si profonde fut riche de conséquences sur sa propre oeuvre. Dans Spiriti de Thomas Doss on sent planer l?esprit de Bruckner dont l?univers est évoqué par un fragment du choral de la Symphonie n° 5 qui apparaît en filigrane à la fin de l?oeuvre.L?introduction une sorte de marche funèbre expose les premiers fragments du choral de Bach. La musique éclate en segments que Thomas Doss combine et recombine pour construire un premier Allegro turbulentqui s?épanouit dans des tutti puissants. La trame devient exubérante et le divers fragments du choral de Bach finissent par tourbillonner les uns autour des autres dans un vol désordonné.Le passage central (religioso) est de nature méditative et introspective. Une structure en noires pleure une âme éplorée. S?appuyant sur des éléments minimalistes associés aux segments utilisés précédemment le troisième et dernier passage s?achemine vers l?exposition grandiose du choral de Bach. Dans le tourbillon de cloches on sent planer l?ombre des deux grands maîtres de l?orgue.
