All the While was inspired by a very special person in Tyler Arcari's life. Director's will be happy to find many opportunities for emotional and passionate playing with plenty of fun in the middle for young bands. All the While gives students a number of chances to work on expressive playing during the beginning and ending sections, and offers a light rhythmic middle section for contrast.Program Notes:All the While is a bit of a personal piece for me. I was inspired to write it by a very special person in my life. It might be a young-band piece but I feel that it has the capacity for great emotion and passionate playing as well as a little fun in the middle. Sometimes it is difficult to tell people how you feel, even if you have known them for a long time. I think sometimes we say in our heads that “I have felt this way for a long time,†and all the while never being able to put it to words.About the work:The piece opens with a flute and alto saxophone duet. This melody trades off at m. 10 with the addition of new voices and harmonies building in intensity all the way to m. 28. I personally like to use extended phrases in this section, though it looks like it would just utilize four-measure phrases. I feel this adds to the momentum building in dynamic intensity. Measure 28 is a subito change beginning with a prominent Timpani solo. The following section should be played as lightly as possible to avoid a lumbering feel. In mm. 68- 70, the agogic accents should not be very heavy, but more pointed in their momentum to m. 70.Measures 70–76 should be taken with metric liberty bringing out all of the moving parts in the low brass. The low brass really adds the foundation of momentum for the rest of the band here. Measure 76 to the end, though a repetition of material from the beginning, should be played as the high point of the piece and familiar conclusion.

Alan Turing is considered the father of modern computational science and much, if not all, of our modern computer technology and the connectivity that we now take for granted is born of the work of this one great, but troubled man. His famous test was designed to prove whether artificial intelligence (AI) could successfully imitate human thought. The single movement of The Turing Test is essentially non-programmatic, but it does seek to show something of the emotion and colour of Turing’s life in its different sections. The composer employs bi-tonality and complex rhythms to show opposing worlds colliding. At the end of each test, we must decide: has true AI beenborn? Alan Turing wordt beschouwd als de vader van de moderne computerwetenschap. Veel, zo niet alle, moderne computertechnologie en connectiviteit die we nu vanzelfsprekend vinden, vloeien voort uit het werk van deze ene geweldige maar getroebleerde man. The Turing Test is in wezen een niet-programmatische compositie aan één stuk, maar in de verschillende gedeelten komt wel iets van de emotie en kleuren van Turings leven terug. De componist heeft geprobeerd bitonaliteit en complexe ritmes te gebruiken om naast elkaar bestaande werelden te laten botsen. Aan het slot van elke test moeten we ons afvragen: is hier sprake van ware kunstmatige intelligentie?Alan Turing wird als Vater der modernen Informatik angesehen, und vieles, wenn nicht sogar alles, was für uns inzwischen an moderner Computer- und Informationstechnologie selbstverständlich ist, basiert auf der Arbeit dieses großartigen, aber sorgenschweren Mannes. The Turing Test ist im Grunde genommen kein programmatisches Werk, aber es möchte Emotionen und Facetten von Turings Leben in einem einzigen Satz, der aus verschiedenen Abschnitten besteht, wiedergeben. Der Komponist hat versucht, Bitonalität und komplexe Rhythmen zu verwenden, um das Aufeinanderprallen der verschiedenen Welten darzustellen. Am Ende jedes Tests müssen wir entscheiden, ob wahre künstlicheIntelligenz geboren wurde. Alan Turing est estimé être le père des sciences numériques modernes et la plupart, sinon l’intégralité, des technologies et des connectivités informatiques modernes établies aujourd’hui sont nées du travail de ce grand homme troublé. The Turing Test n’est en fait pas programme mais cherche dépeindre l’émotion et la couleur de la vie de Turing dans les sections différentes, en un seul mouvement. Le compositeur utilise la bitonalité et des rythmes complexes pour illustrer deux mondes opposés qui se heurtent. A la fin de chaque test, nous devons décider : la vraie intelligence artificielle, est-elle née ?

Charles Aznavour, the son of Armenian immigrants, was born in 1924, in Paris. He finally launched his singing career in France with great effort; despite his lack of star looks and less than remarkable voice. However, he had two things going for him:powerful on-stage charisma and great willpower. It took him about twenty years to reach the top but when he did, his determination certainly paid off. He became a star singer/songwriter in France and his chansons were embraced throughout the rest ofthe world as well. The typical French atmosphere that pervades his music can be clearly experienced in this medley for concert band. Charles Aznavour, 1924 in Paris als Sohn armenischer Einwanderer geboren, brachte es zu einem der größten Chansonniers Frankreichs im 20. Jahrhundert. Er feierte sowohl als Liedautor, Interpret als auch als Filmschauspieler große Erfolge. Die typischfranzösische Atmosphäre, die Charles Aznavour in seine Musik packte, ist auch in dieser Bearbeitung für Blasorchester deutlich spürbar. Das Medley von Roland Kernen lässt vier unvergessene Chansons von Aznavour Revue passieren. Charles Aznavour, le fils d’immigrants arméniens, est né Paris en 1924. Il s’est enfin lancé avec beaucoup d’effort dans sa carrière de chanteur en France, malgré son manque de physique de star et sa voix peu remarquable. Pourtant, il avait deux atouts importants : un charisme puissant sur scène et une forte détermination. Cela lui prit environ vingt ans pour atteindre le sommet, mais sa persévérance en valait la peine. Il devint un célèbre auteur-compositeur-interprète en France et ses chansons furent appréciées avec enthousiasme dans le monde entier. L’atmosphère typiquement française qui se répand dans sa musique peut aussi être ressentie dans ce medley pour orchestre d’harmonie.
L’atmosphère typiquement « chanson française » des musiques d’Aznavour est recréée dans ce medley pour Orchestre d’Harmonie, qui rassemble quatre succès du chanteur : For Me... Formidable, Les Comédiens, La Bohème et Je m’voyais déj .

I have never had much to do with the accordion in my career up until now, although this instrument is at home in many different forms across the world. It is a great phenomenon how air can be turned into sounds as diverse as beeping, murmuring, chirping or wheezing - all very human forms of articulation. The rib cage fills itself with sounds and expels the air with more sounds. From this thought, my title emerged: Der ewige Atem [Eternal Breath]. Breathing in and out is a synonym for our human existence from birth up until our last moments the eternal cycle of living and dying provided the ultimate inspiration for the addition of this extended epilogue to my Ode an die Nacht [Ode to the Night].

The operetta The Gipsy Baron is, together with Die Fledermaus (The Bat), the most famous theatre work by Johann Strauss Jr. A libretto full of romance, original musical ideas, compelling Viennese dances, fiery rhythmic Hungarian music and beautiful arias, were just some of the ingredients that lead to its huge success. The Gipsy Baron can also be thought of as a comic opera. The main motif of this overture won first prize in a contest that was to provide a new Hungarian anthem, however because Strauss did not have Hungarian nationality, another melody was chosen. A great transcription to bring a Hungarian twist to any programme.De operette Der Zigeunerbaron is, samen met Die Fledermaus, het beroemdste theaterwerk van Johann Strauss jr. Een libretto vol romantiek, originele muzikale ideeën, meeslepende Weense dansen, vurig ritmische Hongaarsemuziek, uitgewerkte aria’s: al deze ingrediënten moesten wel tot succes leiden. Het geheel is van een dusdanig hoog niveau dat Der Zigeunerbaron ook een komische opera genoemd mag worden. De ouverture is niet een bonte verzamelingvan ‘succesmotieven’ uit de operette. Ze is een (geslaagde) poging om het publiek in de sfeer te brengen van het land waar de handeling plaatsvindt: Hongarije.Die Operette Der Zigeunerbaron ist eines der berühmtesten Bühnenwerke von Johann Strauss (Sohn). Ein Libretto voll von Romantik, originellen musikalischen Ideen, bezaubernden Wiener Tänzen, feuriger ungarischer Musik und wunderschönen Arien waren die Zutaten, die zum Erfolg führten. Die Ouvertüre ist keine abwechslungsreiche Sammlung der schönsten Motive aus der Operette. Sie ist ganz klar ein (erfolgreicher) Versuch, dem Publikum die Atmosphäre des Handlungsortes Ungarn nahe zu bringen. Dies gelingt auch Ihrem Blasorchester mit Wil van der Beeks Transkription. mi-chemin entre l’opérette et l’opéra-comique, Le Baron tzigane de Johann Strauss renferme tous les ingrédients d’un succès annoncé : un livret romanesque souhait, des idées musicales originales, des airs merveilleux et une adroite fusion entre les sublimes danses viennoises et les rythmes pétillants de la musique hongroise. L’Ouverture plonge le public dans l’univers musical du pays où se déroule l’intrigue : la Hongrie. A met tra l’operetta e l’opera comica, Il Barone Gitano di Johann Strauss contiene tutti gli ingredienti del successo annunciato: un libretto romanzesco, idee musicali originali, arie meravigliose e un’abile fusione tra le sublimi danze viennesi ed i ritmi sfavillanti della musica ungherese. L’Ouverture accompagna il pubblico nell’universo musicale dell’Ungheria, paese dove si svolge l’intrigo.
