This melody has been recorded by contemporary artists but has its roots as a traditional African song. Translating as âwe are the burning fire,â the song displays strength with its dynamic elements, optional percussion and repetitive harmonies that will appeal to younger and developing choirs.

The word primal is defined as relating to an early stage in development or basic, fundamental, essential, elemental. Imagine this tune challenging your players who fit that definition. Many young and developing musicians experience difficulty with mastering rhythmic accuracy with confidence. Yet, rhythm is essential to music performance. Student proficiency in reading rhythmic figures and being able to move comfortably from one meter to another should be a goal of the orchestra director. This work provides rhythmic challenges and uses multiple meter changes to create interesting, appealing, and unique rhythmic textures.

Farewell Tod und Verklarung marks a turning point in Richard Strauss's corpus of tone poems: Even before the November 1889 premiere of his previous work Don Juan, Strauss had finished his third work in this genre. He leads the listener with great clarity through the dying hour of a person who had pursued the highest ideals. The present Urtext edition evaluates for the first time all the corrections that Strauss made in the galley proofs of the work's full score and parts, correlating these to the music text. The preface provides insight into the genesis and reception history, while the detailed Critical Report systematically documents all of the editorial decisions.

Liebestod (German for Love Death) is the title of the final, dramatic music from the 1859 opera Tristan and Isolde by Richard Wagner. The music is actually an aria that Isolde sings over Tristan's dead body before she herself is consumed in death. The music is lush, with rich harmonies and undulating rhythms as the agony of death is also meshed with the passion of love.Randall Malmstrom has scored this 7-minute work for Trombone octet of advanced performers.

Spanish. Text Source: Filipenses / Philippians 2:6-11, La Biblia Latinoamérica Scripture: Philippians 2:6–11.
Commissioned by the American Federation Pueri Cantores to showcase diversity within the Spanish-language choral repertoire, this advanced choral piece written for SATB voices and piano accompaniment is a setting of Philippians chapter 2, in which Saint Paul exalts Christ as the “name above all names†for having taken on human form to die on the cross. The piece is in three sections, mirroring the three-part form of the scripture passage: a gentle, stoic homophonic opening in C major, a polyphonic, somber middle section in A minor at the words “even death on a cross,†and an exuberant section in A major climaxing in the final statement that “Christ Jesus is the Lord!†For choirs looking for a musical challenge and an opportunity to showcase the choral arts using scriptural texts in Spanish, this masterful work makes for a tremendous concert piece, prelude or liturgical anthem. Listen to this piece performed at the NPM 2022 National Convention Choral Institute Concert below:.

Staeliana was commissioned by the Fundacio Caixa de Catalunya in 2007 for the inauguration of an exposition of the work of Nicolas Staël at La Pedrera, Barcelona. In this work I wanted to compose homage to a painter who knew how to join together in his unique works both the traditions of the past along with the vanguard of his time. Beginning with figurative works which lead toward abstraction, his body of work can be defined as a contrast between these two concepts which, with extreme simplicity, define his entire artistic conception. Staeliana, an expressive chorale, at times both luminous and dramatic, dissolves into the most minimal expression. From the first joining together of the voices it concludes with utter simplicity of expression. The suicide of the artist in 1955 is representative of the dissolution of his existence as well as of his artistic works. This contrast between figurative and abstraction is reflected in the music by the contrast between stability and tension. I believe that this duality may be found both in his work and in his life, always oscillating between living a creative life or opting for death, which may be seen as a fusion in nothingness with the plenitude of purest simplicity.

What a stunning piece of cinematic history and what a stunning soundtrack. John William’s wonderfully compassionate main theme is woven into this arrangement that will haunt both band and audience. The magnificently simple melody reflects both the sadness and hope portrayed in the epic Steven Spielberg film. 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 financiële 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 verblüffend 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 décernés par l’industrie cinématographique 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 célèbre et le plus accompli de tous les compositeurs de musiques de film. Composant dans le style classique et possédant une fibre mélodique immensément riche, il séduit par la brillance orchestrale et la beauté lyrique de ses œuvres. Son nom est indissociable de celui du cinéaste américain Steven Spielberg. C’est pour lui qu’il a composé 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 reçoit un Oscar en 1994.
