Commissioned by the Kentucky Music Educators' Association for its 2002 All-State Jazz Ensemble, the inspiration for this medium-advanced, up-swing release comes from the music of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers and Birdland, NYC's legendary jazz club. Though improvised solos are assigned to trumpet and trombone, chord sheets are included so anyone can serve as soloist. Mike's score calls for five trumpets, and the chart takes about six minutes from start to finish.

The 1712 Overture stands out in P.D.Q. Bach's oeuvre for two reasons, among others: it is by far the most programmatic instrumental piece among those by the minimeister of Wein-am-Rhein so far unearthed, and 2) its discovery has led to a revelation about the composer's father, Johann Sebastian Bach, that has exploded like a bombshell on the usually serene musicological landscape. The overture is based on an anecdote told to P.D.Q. Bach by a cousin, Peter Ulrich. Since P.U. Bach lived in Dudeldorf, only a few miles down the road from Wein-am-Rhein, he was P.D.Q.'s closest relative, and he was, in fact, one of the few members of the family who was on speaking terms with P.D.Q. The story, related to P.D.Q. (fortunately for us posterity types) in a letter, may be summarized thus: The town of Dudeldorf was founded by two brothers, Rudi and Dieter Dudel, early in the 18th century. Rudi remained mayor of the newborn burg for the rest of his long life, but Dieter had a dream of starting a musicians' colony, an entire city devoted to music, which dream, he finally decided, could be realized only in the New World. In 1712, he and several other bagpipers sailed to Boston, never to return to Germany. (Henceforth, Rudi became known as der deutscher Dudel and Dieter as the Yankee Dudel). Unfortunately, the head of the Boston Musicians' Guild had gotten wind of Dudel's plans, and Wilhelm Wiesel (pron. VEE-zle), known none too affectionately around town as Wiesel the Weasel, was not about to share what few gigs there were in colonial America with more foreigners and outside agitators. He and his cronies were on hand to meet Dudel's boat when it pulled into Boston Harbor; they intended to prevent the newcomers' disembarkation, but Dudel and his companions managed to escape to the other side of the bay in a dinghy, landing with just enough time to rent a carriage and horses before hearing the sound of The Weasel and his men, who had had to come around the long way. The Germans headed West, with the Bostonians in furious pursuit. soon the city had been left far behind, and by midnight so had the pursuers; Dieter Dudel decided that it was safe for him and his men to stop and sleep until daybreak. When they awoke, they found that they were in a beautiful landscape of low, forested mountains and pleasant fields, warmed by the brilliant morning sun and serenaded by an entrancing variety of birds. Here, Dudel thought, her is where I will build my colony. The immigrants continued down the road at a leisurely pace until they came upon a little church, all by itself in the countryside, from which there suddenly emanated the sounds of a pipe organ. At this point, the temptation to quote from P.U. Bach's letter to P.D.Q. cannot be resisted: They went inside and, after listening to the glorious music for a while, introduced themselves to the organist. And who do you think it was? Are you ready for this -- it was your old man! Hey, no kidding -- you know, I'm sure, that your father was the guy to get when it came to testing new organs, and whoever had that one in Massachusetts built offered old Sebastian a tidy sum to go over there and check it out. The unexpected meeting with J.S. Bach and his sponsors was interrupted by the sound of horse hooves, as the dreaded Wiesel and his men thundered on to the scene. They had been riding all night, however, and they were no spring chickens to start with, and as soon as they reached the church they all dropped, exhausted, to the ground. The elated Germans rang the church bells and offered to buy everyone a beer at the nearest tavern. There they were taught, and joined in singing, what might be called the national anthem of the New World. The melody of this pre-revolutionary patriotic song is still remembered (P.D.Q. Bach quotes it, in the bass instruments, near the end of the overture), but is words are now all but forgotten: Freedom, of thee we sing, Freedom e'er is our goal; Death to the English King, Long live Rock and Ross. The striking paucity of biographical references to Johann Sebastian Bah during the year 1712 can now be explained: he was abroad for a significant part of that year, testing organs in the British Colonies. That this revelation has not been accepted as fact by the musicological establishment is no surprise, since it means that a lot of books would have to be rewritten. The members of that establishment haven't even accepted the existence of P.D.Q. Bach, one of whose major works the 1712 Overture certainly is. It is also a work that shows Tchaikowsky up as the shameless plagiarizer that some of us have always known he was. The discovery of this awesome opus was made possible by a Boston Pops Centennial Research Commission; the first modern performance took place at the opening concert of the 100th anniversary season of that orchestra, under the exciting but authentic direction of John Williams.

Legend of a Mountain vertelt de legende van ‘La dent du chat’, een berg in de Franse Savoie. De legende gaat over een niet gehouden belofte, de wraak van een kat en over de berg ‘De tand van de kat’. Een onheilspellende inleiding,gevolgd door een vriendelijk thema in 6/8 maat, turbulente passages, lyrische en agressieve thema’s evenals dramatische hoogtepunten vertellen deze legende op indringende wijze aan uw publiek.Legend of a Mountain erzählt die Legende von einem Berg im französischen Departement Savoie. Diese handelt von einem nicht gehaltenen Versprechen, dem grausamen Strafgericht einer Katze und einem Berg, welcher der Zahn der getöteten Katze sein soll. Eine düstere Einleitung, gefolgt von einem heiteren 6/8-Thema, turbulenten Passagen, lyrischen und aggressiven Themen sowie dramatischen Höhepunkten geben die Geschichte sehr anschaulich wider. Legend of a Mountain (Légende d’une montagne) raconte la légende de la Dent du Chat, une montagne située sur la rive Ouest du lac du Bourget dans le département de la Savoie (France). L’imposante introduction préfigure l’histoire dramatique que raconte la légende.Au pied de la montagne, non loin du lac, vivait jadis un pêcheur avec sa femme et leurs cinq enfants.Un thème paisible (en 6/8) évoque le pêcheur assis dans sa frêle barque dansant au milieu des eaux ondulantes du lac.Un jour, attendant en vain une prise, le pêcheur promit de rejeter l'eau le premier poisson qu'il attraperait dans l'espoir d'être récompensé pour son geste généreux. peineavait-il fait cette promesse qu'il sentit mordre son hameçon. Oubliant sa promesse, il garda le poisson et relança sa ligne. la troisième prise, il sortit de l’eau un chat noir.Le thème paisible est soudainement interrompu par les timbales qui annoncent la prise imminente d’un gros poisson. C’est l’effervescence. Le gros poisson (ou plus précisément le chat) a mordu. Dès lors, la musique devient plus turbulente.Le pêcheur rentra chez lui, le chat sous son bras. Sa femme et ses enfants l’adoptèrent et en prirent soin.Un thème lyrique s’élève de plusieurs pupitres de l’orchestre. Il reflète l’harmonie qui règne dans la famille du pêcheur. Ce sentiment d’harmonie chemine vers un motif plus incisif, suivi d’un coup de grosse caisse illustrant l’agressivité du chat. Au fil des mois, le chat devint agressif, allant jusqu’ mordre les enfants. Comme le pêcheur était superstitieux, il n'osait tuer le chat par crainte de malédiction. Il mit l'animal dans un sac et l'emmena très loin dans la montagne.La marche en montagne est illustrée par un thème ascendant. Le motif plus agressif est ensuite réexposé.L -haut, le chat s'attaqua aux troupeaux, aux chiens, aux femmes et aux enfants. Le pêcheur n'attrapa jamais plus le moindre poisson. Il vendit sa barque et devint b cheron. Le mauvais sort s'acharna sur lui. Il se blessa d'un coup de hache et.

The musical effect of Prarie Lullaby should be graceful and serene, evocative of a peaceful night on the open plains. To that end, players will need to strive for an unlabored rhythmic flow, smooth bowing and a clear, steady tone as close to p as possible. Beginning at m.39, the violin and viola parts are marked pizzicato. If young players are unable to return quickly to argo at m.53, they may make the bow preparation easier by taking a full measure rest at m.52. This option is marked in the parts and score. The divisi notes at m. 69 are provided for ensembles which lack violas. Ensembles with violas may have them play the lower notes while the second violins play the upper notes. Percussion, which is completely optional, should be very subdued. Choose a bell mallet which allows the tones to be heard just above the strings. the woodblock part is intended to imitate the clip-clop sound of a horse's hooves. Two different sizes of woodblocks or temple blocks are needed. Finding two suitable sounds on one woodblock is difficult. Again, the right mallets are very important. The suspended cymbal should be played with brushes if the string ensemble is small. If the suspended cymbal with brushes cannot be heard above a large number of strings, then sticks should be used instead. The percussion part can be performed by one player, provided the instruments and mallets are set up properly and the player has the skill to make the transitions smoothly. Note the optional rest at mm. 53-54.

Arrows of Lightning is a work in four movements by the Luxembourg composer Marco Pütz. American Indian songs and poems, which includes a song that translates as Arrows of Lightning, served as the inspiration for this composition.In this song, the arrows were charmed by means of singing and dancing so that they would go faster - as fast as lightning. The scoring enables this piece to be performed by a band without a full contingent of players. A fantasticwild-west adventure for your band. Dur: 10:10 (Grade 2-1/2)Arrows of Lightning is een werk in vier delen van de hand van de Luxemburgse componist Marco Pütz. Als inspiratie voor deze compositie gebruikte hij een bundel met oude indiaanse liederen en gedichten. Arrows of Lightningis de vertaling van een oud indiaans lied. Hiermee bezwoer men de pijlen die voor de jacht bedoeld waren door middel van zang en dans, zodat ze sneller - zo snel als de bliksem - zouden gaan. De componist meende dat deze titeleen pakkende hoofdtitel zou vormen voor dit geheel van dansen en/of liederen. Met Rocking the Cradle, The Mystical Song, Circle Dance en Battle Dance.Zu diesem Werk ließ sich der Luxemburger Marco Pütz von einem indianischen Gedichte- und Liederalbum inspirieren. Die vier Sätze Rocking the Cradle, The Mystical Song, Circle Dance und Battle Dance greifen teilweise auf überlieferte indianische Gesänge zurück, teils entsprangen sie der Fantasie des Komponisten. Die Instrumentierung lässt auch eine unvollständige Besetzung zu, nur die Schlaginstrumente sollten vollständig besetzt sein. Ungewöhnlich und kreativ!Arrows of Lightning (“Les flèches de l’éclairâ€) est une œuvre en quatre mouvements du compositeur luxembourgeois Marco Pütz. Cette composition puise ses racines dans un recueil de chants et de poèmes améridiens anciens. Le titre de l’œuvre est la traduction d’un vieux chant indien chanté avant la chasse, et généralement accompagné d’une danse, pour ensorceler les flèches afin qu’elles soient rapides comme l’éclair. Séduit par cette histoire, c'est donc tout naturellement que le compositeur décida de reprendre ce titre pour définir son œuvre.1. Rocking the Cradle (“Berceuseâ€)2. The Mystical Song (“Chant mystiqueâ€)3. Circle Dance(“Danse en cercleâ€)4. Battle Dance (“Danse de combatâ€)Si les thèmes des différents mouvements émanent pour l’essentiel de danses ou chants amérindiens, ils sont enrichis d’éléments thématiques issus de l’imaginaire du compositeur. Les Indiens d’Amérique, leur grande culture, leur manière de vivre en harmonie avec le milieu naturel ont toujours fasciné Marco Pütz.L’orchestration a été réalisée de manière être également adaptée des ensembles effectif incomplet. Cependant, il est conseillé de couvrir toutes les voix de percussion.

Four roads lead to Santiago, so begins the Book of the Pilgrim. Written in the 12th century, the Codex Calixtinus opened the way for pilgrimage from most cities in Europe and North Africa to Santiago de Compostela, in Spain. Compostela - The Way of St James describes the pilgrims' journey. After a slow introduction, a brilliant theme announces the start of the journey. The arrival in Spain is indicated by incantatory chants and majestic chords. Finally, the music softens as the pilgrims venerate St James. ‘Er leiden vier wegen naar Santiago’ zo begint het boek der pelgrims. De Codex Calixtinus, geschreven in de 12e eeuw, effende indertijd de weg voor pelgrimages vanuit de meeste steden in Europa en Noord-Afrika naar het Spaanse Santiago de Compostela. Compostela - The Way of St James (Compostela de weg van de heilige Jakobus) is een beschrijving van zo’n pelgrimstocht. Na een langzame inleiding kondigt een stralend thema het begin van de reis aan. De aankomst in Spanje wordt gemarkeerd door bezwerende melodieën en majestueuze akkoorden. Tot slot wordt de muziek zachter om de diepe eerbied van de pelgrims voor de heilige Jakobus te verklanken. Vier Wege führen nach Santiago“, so beginnt das Pilgerbuch. Der im 12. Jahrhundert verfasste Codex Calixtinus ebnete den Weg für Pilgerreisen aus den meisten Städten Europas und Nordafrikas nach Santiago de Compostela in Spanien. Compostela - The Way of St James beschreibt die Pilgerreise auf dem Jakobsweg. Nach einer langsamen Einleitung kündigt ein brillantes Thema den Beginn der Reise an. Die Ankunft in Spanien wird durch religiöse Gesänge und majestätische Akkorde angezeigt. Schließlich wird die Musik leiser, während die Pilger den Heiligen Jakob verehren. « Quatre chemins vont Saint-Jacques », ainsi commence le Livre du Pèlerin. Écrit au XIIe siècle, le Codex Calixtinus ouvre la voie du pèlerinage qui va de la plupart des villes d’Europe et du nord de l’Afrique vers Saint-Jacques de Compostelle, en Espagne.

Arrows of Lightning is een werk in vier delen van de hand van de Luxemburgse componist Marco Pütz. Als inspiratie voor deze compositie gebruikte hij een bundel met oude indiaanse liederen en gedichten. Arrows of Lightningis de vertaling van een oud indiaans lied. Hiermee bezwoer men de pijlen die voor de jacht bedoeld waren door middel van zang en dans, zodat ze sneller - zo snel als de bliksem - zouden gaan. De componist meende dat deze titeleen pakkende hoofdtitel zou vormen voor dit geheel van dansen en/of liederen. Met Rocking the Cradle, The Mystical Song, Circle Dance en Battle Dance.Zu diesem Werk ließ sich der Luxemburger Marco Pütz von einem indianischen Gedichte- und Liederalbum inspirieren. Die vier Sätze Rocking the Cradle, The Mystical Song, Circle Dance und Battle Dance greifen teilweise auf überlieferte indianische Gesänge zurück, teils entsprangen sie der Fantasie des Komponisten. Die Instrumentierung lässt auch eine unvollständige Besetzung zu, nur die Schlaginstrumente sollten vollständig besetzt sein. Ungewöhnlich und kreativ!Arrows of Lightning (“Les flèches de l’éclairâ€) est une œuvre en quatre mouvements du compositeur luxembourgeois Marco Pütz. Cette composition puise ses racines dans un recueil de chants et de poèmes améridiens anciens. Le titre de l’œuvre est la traduction d’un vieux chant indien chanté avant la chasse, et généralement accompagné d’une danse, pour ensorceler les flèches afin qu’elles soient rapides comme l’éclair. Séduit par cette histoire, c'est donc tout naturellement que le compositeur décida de reprendre ce titre pour définir son œuvre.1. Rocking the Cradle (“Berceuseâ€)2. The Mystical Song (“Chant mystiqueâ€)3. Circle Dance(“Danse en cercleâ€)4. Battle Dance (“Danse de combatâ€)Si les thèmes des différents mouvements émanent pour l’essentiel de danses ou chants amérindiens, ils sont enrichis d’éléments thématiques issus de l’imaginaire du compositeur. Les Indiens d’Amérique, leur grande culture, leur manière de vivre en harmonie avec le milieu naturel ont toujours fasciné Marco Pütz.L’orchestration a été réalisée de manière être également adaptée des ensembles effectif incomplet. Cependant, il est conseillé de couvrir toutes les voix de percussion.

Paul Dukas (1865-1935) was a composer who had little self-confidence and was very self-critical. As a result of this he destroyed the manuscripts of all but seven large and five small works. Luckily kept what is now his best know composition, the symphonic scherzo L’apprenti sorcier (The Sorcerer’s Apprentice). He also came very close to destroying the manuscript of his ballet music La Peri (The Fairy). This was however rescued by his friends. Thus we can still enjoy this magnificent fanfare which was originally used as an opener for the ballet. This magnificent transcription for fanfare band will make a great opening item for any concert.In Paul Dukas’ ballet La Péri (De fee) is in stilistisch opzicht zijn bewondering voor Wagner (de romantiek) en het Franse impressionisme merkbaar: een interessante en unieke mix, want deze twee stijlen werden maar weinig gecombineerd.De populaire fanfare die voorafgaat aan La Péri is van oorsprong alleen voor koperblazers geschreven en pas naderhand aan het werk toegevoegd. Het gebruikte idioom is moderner dan dat in het ballet zelf. Deze schitterendefanfare wordt vaak afzonderlijk uitgevoerd en is geschikt als openingswerk voor diverse gelegenheden.In den Werken des französischen Komponisten Paul Dukas (1865-1935) ist stilistisch die Bewunderung für Wagner sowie für den französischen Impressionismus spürbar, woraus sich ein interessanter, seltener Stilmix ergibt. Das Ballett La Péri enthält immense dynamische Abstufungen und fordert die Musiker dementsprechend stark. Die populäre Fanfare, welche dem Werk vorangeht, eignet sich in der gelungenen Blasorchesterbearbeitung von Wil van der Beek als Eröffnungswerk für viele Anlässe.
