This edition of EL AMOR BRUJO (LOVE, THE SORCERER) is the 1924 revision of the 1915 version by Spanish composer Manuel de Falla (1876 - 1946). Originally a collaboration between de Falla, the flamenco dancer Pastora Imperio, and librettist María Martínez Sierra, the ballet follows Candela, a recent widow who attempts to dispel her abusive late husband's ghost so she can remarry. The original version of the ballet was not well-received, so de Falla dialed back the Roma cultural elements prominent in the original version and expanded the size of the orchestra to appeal to contemporary audiences. The 1924 version premiered in Paris on May 1925. Reprint Edition. Instrumentation: 2(2nd dPicc).1(dEH).2.1: 2.2.0.0: Timp.Perc(1): Pno: Str (4-4-3-3-3 in set): Contralto Voice.

Gillis' BALLET FOR BAND is music of the 20th century. The score is endlessly inventive and richly colored, with scoring for the full palette of sounds available in the symphonic wind band. The score contains both contrasting moments of lyrical beauty and muscular energy while never dissonant, with more than a few extended jazz chords a-la-Gershwin to be found. Both performers and listeners will discover much to admire in this exciting score.

Originally written for piano, this work translates well for young bands. Written in 3/4, but intended to be performed in a bouncy one, its light texture, melodic contour, and playful nature will be an outstanding addition to any contest or festival program. (3:00).

Bolero was originally written as a ballet for a famous ballerina and achieved great success on the stage. Nowadays the ballet itself is only rarely performed and even though Ravel thought the orchestra would seldom play it, it has become one of the best-loved pieces for the concert stage. This arrangement by Philip Sparke keeps very close to the original score in this melodically and rhythmically unique work.

Ravel schreef Bolero oorspronkelijk als ballet voor een beroemde danseres. Als zodanig was het ook bijzonder succesvol. Tegenwoordig wordt het als ballet nog zelden opgevoerd. Hoewel Ravel dacht dat het als orkestwerk nietin de smaak zou vallen, is het toch een van de geliefdste titels voor op het concertpodium geworden. De bewerking van Philip Sparke blijft dicht bij de originele partituur van dit melodisch en ritmisch bijzondere werk.

Bolero wurde ursprünglich als Ballett für eine berühmte Tanzerin geschrieben und feierte sensationelle Erfolge auf der Tanzbühne. Heute wird das Ballett nur noch selten aufgeführt und obwohl Ravel dachte, dass Orchester das Werk nur selten spielen würden, ist es zu einem der beliebtesten Titel für die Konzertbühne geworden.Philip Sparkes Bearbeitung halt sich nah an der Original-Partitur dieses melodisch und rhythmisch einzigartigen Werkes.

Le dernier ballet de Ravel, Bolero, fut ecrit et cree en 1928. Aujourd'hui, le ballet est rarement represente, et, bien que Ravel ait craint que les orchestres refusent d'interpreter son oeuvre, celle-ci est devenue l'une des plus populaires dans les salles de concert. Le Bolero est peut-etre unique en son genre, dans le sens ou l'orchestration geniale de Ravel est encore plus importante que les elements melodiques, rythmiques et harmoniques de l'oeuvre ; c'est pourquoi Philip Sparke n'a pas vu l'utilite d'en produire une version simplifiee ou reduite mais a essaye de respecter au mieux la partition de Ravel. Laissez-vous seduire !

Il Bolero composto da Maurice Ravel nel 1929 e per eccellenza la musica per balletto divenuta celebre anche come pezzo concertistico. E' sicuramente il bolero piu noto mai composto, nonche l'opera piu popolare di Ravel, commissionatagli da Ida Rubinstein, una ballerina russa. Philip Sparke ha rispettato la geniale orchestrazione di Ravel creando uno straordinario arrangiamento per banda.
