Wil van der Beek bearbeitete den feierlichen Huldigungsmarsch aus diesem Werk für Blasorchester. La Marche d’Hommage de l’acte III de la suite orchestrale Sigurd Jorsalfar d’Edvard Grieg, se trouve l’opposé des marches au caractère sombre ou martial. L’introduction en forme de fanfare est superbement lyrique. Puis vient l’exposition d’un thème joué cantabile. L’instrumentation développe quelque peu le thème initial avec des accents rythmiques la basse. Le thème de la marche est ainsi amorcé. Un trio central, lumineux et serein, précède le retour du thème de marche au tutti.

In the rest of the movement normalintonation should be used. The slow and rhythmical vibrato pulse should follow the accents 2nd Movement : The 10/5 meter is divided into two beats, and the dotted lines show the position of the second beat in each bar 3rd Movement : no comment 4th Movement : The very high harmonics are intended as mostly a high 'airy' sound. The small gliss/portamenti that will invariably occur in the fast shofts of positions are intended.

From the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean, Path to the Pacific reflects the open, airy and picturesque qualities of the American West. These textures are painted through the use of light syncopation, key modulations and triplets that will certainly ch.From the opening driving cello melody to the final ensemble flourish, Path to the Pacific is an exciting and rewarding piece for young players to play.The accents in the cello during the lively introduction at m. 1 are integral to the feel of the melodic line and provide an engaging technical challenge. The AAB form begins as the piece decrescendos to the quiet ‘A’ section at m. 9, featuring violin 1 with a singing, lyrical melody.The robust, joyous ‘B’ section is played with intensity, but still legato. The return to the ‘A’ material at m. 37 features the Cello. The 2nd statement of the ‘B’ material at m. 45 is highlighted by a refreshing tonal shift to the key of E then back to the key of ‘G’ before the crescendo to the fermata in m. 58.The active cello theme from the introduction returns in the A Tempo section at m. 59 at a piano dynamic. This begins the build to the maestoso section at m. 71. Measures 63-70 are the most aggressive bars of the composition. Strive for rhythmic precision when approaching the quintal harmony in m. 63-64, the accented figures in m. 65-67, and the triplet figures in m. 68-69. A rich, resonant tone from the full ensemble will make the maestoso section in m. 71 move powerfully to the final bar.

Jose ph Haas was the teacher, Paul Hindemith the model of the director of many years' standing of the Frankfurter Musikhochschule. The Heitere Suite was created in 1945. After a slow introduction (quasi rezitativo) with a viola solo full of suspense, the first violins start playing a succinct, rhythmically accentuated theme dominat-ing the whole movement and appearing in many different forms. Lively intensifications and, not least, the occasional soloistic use of the instruments are giving colour to this work. A valu-able addition to our concert programmes of moderate modern style. (Das Liebhaberorchester).
