Cape Horn is situated at the southern point of South America, on the Chilean island “Isla Hornosâ€. For centuries, sailing around thehorn was said to be one of he most dangerous passages for ships that wanted to sail from the Atlantic Ocean westwards to the PacificOcean. Tradition has it that Sir Francis Drake discovered Cape Horn in 1578 and the Dutch voyager Willem Cornelisz Schouten was the first to round it in 1616. It was the latter who named the promontory after his Dutch hometown Hoorn. It is estimated that over 800 ships and 10,000 men in total sank into the icy waters during attempts to circumnavigate the cape. The work Cape Horn – a solo for Horn and concert band – attempts to reflect the beauty, but also the peril of this region. It is a matter of great importance to thecomposer Otto M. Schwarz to write new repertoire in the wind band solo works genre. The tonal language of his main genre – film music – is as unmistakable as the experimental parts and catchy tunes.

Originally written by the great English writer J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973), The Lord of the Rings has encountered new-found popularity recently with the release of three ?huge-hit? motion pictures. With Bilbo the Hobbit we enter the lands of Middle-earth during the Third Age, some decades before The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Fascinated by the works of the masters of film music, Maxime Aulio structured this work in their way. When the end credits roll, Maxime?s music displays all the basic characters and passages of the novel. From the landscapes of the Shire to Middle-earth, the Great Dragons to Gandalf the Wizard, Bilbo Baggins tells us his story through light and virtuosoarabesques in the solo part. Bilbo the Hobbit is a wonderful addition to the french horn repertoire and one to be a sure-fire hit with horn players everywhere. ijdens zijn leven schiep J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973) met zijn boek The Hobbit en de trilogie The Lord of the Rings (In de ban van de ring) een totaal nieuwe wereld, bevolkt met fabuleuze wezens: dwergen, elven, drakenen natuurlijk hobbits. Maxime Aulio gaf dit concertante werk vorm in filmische stijl. Met de aftiteling voor ogen verklankt Aulio’s muziek de hoofdpersonen en belangrijkste gebeurtenissen in de wereld van Bilbo de hobbit,zijn visie op het verhaal is imposant. Van de landschappen van de Gouw tot Middenaarde en van de draken tot Gandalf de tovenaar vertelt Bilbo Baggins ons zijn verhaal door middel van lichte en virtuoze arabesken in de solpartij.Fasziniert vom Schaffen der großen Meister der Filmmusik, versuchte Maxime Aulio dieses konzertante Werk über den Fantasy-Roman Werk Der kleine Hobbit von J.R.R.Tolkien in ihrem Sinne zu strukturieren.Wie in einem Abspann illustriert Aulios Musik alle wichtigen Figuren und Passagen der Erzählung in einer beeindruckenden Vision. Von den Landschaften in Auenland bis hin zu ganz Mittelerde, von den großen Drachen bis zu Gandalf, dem Zauberer, erzählt uns Bilbo Beutlin in seinem Solo seine Geschichte in leichten, virtuosen Arabesken.Durant toute une vie, un homme s'est consacré un autre monde, un monde imaginaire drapé du mystère de la littérature fantastique et des légendes. Nous entrons dans une autre dimension. La Terre du Milieu est née, et dans la force de sa flamme créatrice, John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (1892-1973) a donné vie toutes les créatures fabuleuses qui la peuplent : nains, elfes, dragons et hobbits. Nous sommes au Troisième ge de la Terre du Milieu, quelques décennies avant la trilogie du Seigneur des Anneaux. Nous sommes l’ère de Bilbon Sacquet ou Bilbon le Hobbit, un être de petite taille qui vit paisiblement avec ses semblables dans un pays de collines verdoyantes,la Comté. Paix précaire depuis que Bilbon a trouvé l’Anneau Unique jadis forgé par Sauron, le maître du Mal. Car l’Anneau souverain est doté d’un pouvoir immense qui permet son détenteur de se rendre invisible et gouverner les possesseurs des autres Anneaux. Sauron le Maléfique, avide de pouvoir, décide de reconquérir l’Anneau Unique par tous les moyens.Fasciné par les œuvres des maîtres de la musique de film, Maxime Aulio structure cette pièce concertante leur manière. Et tel un générique de fin, sa musique revient sur les passages et personnages fondamentaux du roman. La vision de Maxime Aulio est grandiose. Des paysages de la Comté la Terre du Milieu, des Grands Dragons Gandalf le Magicien, Bilbon Sacquet raconte son histoire au travers d’arabesques virtuoses et éthérées interprétées par le soliste. Bilbo the Hobbit (Bilbon le Hobbit) a été créé par la Musique des Équipages de la Flotte de Brest et Jean-Pierre Cenedese, Cor. Affascinato dal lavoro di Tolkien e dai maestri delle musiche da film, Maxime Aulio struttura questo brano concertante alla loro maniera. La musica riprende passaggi e personaggi chiave del romanzo Bilbo, l’Hobbit. La sua visione è grandiosa.

Nordanvind is a tour de force symphonic rhapsody that is built on three Scandinavian folk songs. Composer Carl Strommen has composed these Viking-influenced melodies into a concert setting that brings out all of the history of the Scandinavian people. The piece is at times bold and aggressive, at other times beautiful. Carl employs all of the instrumental colors of the concert band to create a new work for more advanced ensembles.Modern Scandinavians are descendants of the Vikings, an adventuresome people who were known for their love of the sea, their naval prowess, and as fierce fighters . The Scandinavian Vikings were warriors from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden who traded, raided and settled in various parts of Europe, Russia, the North Atlantic islands, and the northeastern coast of North America .Starting around 1850, over one million Swedes left their homeland for the United States in search of religious freedom and open farm land . Augustana College was founded in 1860 by graduates of Swedish universities and is located on the Mississippi River in Rock Island, Illinois . Home of the “Vikings,†Augustana College is the oldest Swedish- American institution of higher learning in the United States . This powerful and lively piece takes inspiration from Swedish history and from Swedish folk songs and hymns .Havsdrake (Dragon of the Sea)The Nordanvind or “North Wind†blows a cold wind during a journey of a group of courageous Viking rowers . The “Dragon-ship†or long ships designed for raiding and war was a sophisticated, fast ship able to navigate in very shallow water . To musically portray these magnificent seafaring vessels, the director is encouraged to use an Ocean Drum (or a rain stick) during the introduction . Wind players may consider blowing air through their instruments to suggest the North wind . Adding men’s voices to accompany the haunting low brass and percussive “rower†sounds can be helpful in creating the dark and ominous portrayal of Viking adventurers .Slangpolska efter Byss - KalleIn Sweden, a “polska†is a partner dance where the dancers spin each other (släng in Swedish “to sling or tossâ€) . Slangpolska efter Byss - Kalle is attributed to Byss-Kalle, who was a notable Swedish folk musician, specifically a nyckelharpa player . Slangpolska efter Byss - Kalle is a traditional “polska†dance song most often played on the Nyckelharpa or keyed fiddle and is commonly heard in pubs and at festive events throughout Sweden . Approximately 10,000 nyckelharpa players live in Sweden today, and the Swedish and the American Nyckelharpa Associations are dedicated to this Swedish National instrument . The director is encouraged to share video and audio examples of the nyckelharpa playing the original Slangpolska efter Byss - Kalle .Tryggare Kan Ingen Vara (Children of the Heavenly Father)Tryggare Kan Ingen Vara Is a traditional Swedish melody, possibly of German roots, and was believed to be arranged as a hymn by the Swedish hymn writer, Karolina Wilhelmina Sandell-Berg (1832–1903) . As a daughter of a Swedish Lutheran minister, she began writing poems as a teenager and is said to have written over 1,700 different texts . There are two different accounts as to the inspiration for this hymn . The first story is that Lina (as she was called) wrote the hymn to honor her father and to say thank you to him for raising her and protecting her . A second belief is of her witnessing the tragic death of her father . She and her father were on a boat, when a wave threw her father overboard . It was said that the profound effect of watching her father drown is what caused Lina to write the text to this hymn . Although this is a treasured song to people of Swedish descent everywhere, it speaks to all people about a father tending and nourishing his children, and protecting them from evil .SPS71FThe Augustana College Concert BandFounded in 1874, the Augustana Band program is one of the oldest continuously active collegiate band programs in the country .
