“Phil ippe Gaubert (1879-1941) was a distinguished performer on the Flute. It comes as no surprise, therefore, that his compositions for the instrument are at the forefront of the instrument's repertoire, Ballade being no exception. After a prominent career as a flautist with the Paris Opéra, he was appointed as professor of Flute at the Paris Conservatoire as well as principal conductor of leading orchestras. It was during this time that Gaubert composed, including his famous Ballade which premiered in 1927. Addressing many technical features including flourishing semiquaver passages and a wide range, Ballade is a challenging yet riveting and stirring piece for aspiring flautists.”.

This exceptional collection of 41 truly beautiful airs and ballads from the British Isles offers both well-known tunes by the prolific blind Irish harpist, Turlough Oâ??Carolan and rarely heard melodies by anonymous composers; all have stood the test of time. Arranged for soprano or tenor recorder, these include Oâ??Carolanâ??s classically influenced â??Lord Inchiquinâ? and â??Eleanor Plunkettâ? as well as â??O Gentle Doveâ? and â??Cuckoo Dearâ?â?? both examples of the strong tradition of song in Wales. Among other tunes, the haunting modal melodies of â??The Dark Slender Boyâ? and â??Enchanted Valleyâ? express the melancholic heart and soul of the British Isles.

A few of these songs have taken on a life of their own in modern times. â??Bonny at Mornâ?, a popular traditional tune of northern England and Scotland, was arranged for soprano voice and harp by the 20th century British composer, Benjamin Britten. â??The Skye Boat Songâ? originally recounted Bonnie Prince Charles Edward Stuartâ??s journey to the Isle of Skye after his defeat at the historic Battle of Culloden. Later, the song evolved into a lilting lullaby and was more recently used as the theme song for the popular Outlander television series.

Departing slightly from recorder notation practice, author Marcia Diehl has judiciously arranged these melodies complete with spare slur markings to aid the amateur player in authentically and musically rendering these tunes.

“Writ ten for Flute or Violin accompanied by a Piano, Ballad is a piece by Albert Périlhou (1846-1936), dedicated to Paul Taffanel. This piece is one of the most famous by this author and could be chosen as a contest or a recital work. Composed in 1903, Ballad is a one-movement piece which begins with a slow part and alternates with an Allegro section. This latter is the section of the main theme which demonstrates the range of the flute with expressive runs. The melody of the slow part keeps coming back along the piece, which finishes on it. The difficulty of this piece would suit upper-intermediate level players.”.

“Guil laume Balay (1871-1943) served in the French military as a prolific Cornet player, having won first place in the 1894 Cornet Award competition at the National Academy of Music in Paris. His compositions were popular in the Cornet and brass repertoire at the time, including his Prelude and Ballad, adaptable to Cornet or Saxhorn with Piano accompaniment. This Balay work remains within the brass repertoire to this day and is suitable for intermediate to advanced level players. The Prelude is in 4/4 meter and exploits the full range of the instruments. There is also much use of flourishing semiquaver passages. The Ballad is a much more measured than the first movement and is in 2/4 time. The texture is predominantly melody-dominated homophony with the occasional use of call-and-response between the melody instrument and Piano accompaniment. This quirky, two-movement piece by Balay provides the intermediate to advanced Cornet or Saxhorn player with a fun, alternative performance piece.”.

B allad and Dance zijn twee delen uit The Universal Band Collection van Jacob de Haan. Tesse Telman koos ze uit om te bewerken voor accordeonorkest. Ballad is een rustige, gedragen melodie die sterk doet denkenaan een rock ballad. Dance is, zoals de titel al zegt, een opgewekte dans in vierkwartsmaat in een rondovorm.

Ball ad und Dance sind zwei Teile aus The Universal Band Collection von Jacob de Haan. Diese zwei Teile wählte Tesse Telman für sein Arrangement. Ballad ist eine ruhige, langsame Melodie, die an eine Rockballade erinnert. Dance ist, wie der Titel schon sagt, ein lebendiger Tanz im 4/4-Takt in Rondoform. Mit diesem bezaubernden Arrangement liefern Sie eine abwechslungsreiche Vorstellung bei Ihrem nächsten Konzert!

Avec The Universal Band Collection, Jacob de Haan a conçu une œuvre “ la carte”. Gr ce sa structure en cinq mouvements indépendants, il est possible d’interpréter l’œuvre dans sa version intégrale ou d’en donner quelques extraits. Tesse Telman a choisi de développer deux lignes mélodiques extraites de deux mouvements de cette suite. Ballad est une ligne fluide et arrondie qui s’apparente une ballade rock tandis que Dance débute sur un air de danse de la Renaissance avant de se fondre dans un passage pétillant et gracieux.
