Welcome to Ireland, the country where the traditional music is as varied as the landscape! Marc Jeanbourquin’s Irish Fantasy starts in a carefree and lively fashion from County Galway, then strolls through the moorlands of Kerry in a slower, lyrical movement with room for a solo, and comes to rest in Cork, with high-spirited and up-tempo folk tunes, and an accompaniment reminiscent of the bagpipes.

Ierland heeft - naast een veelvoud aan prachtige landschappen - een rijke muzikale traditie. In dit werk verwerkte de componist beide elementen en steekt van wal met een indruk van het opgewekte County Galway om dan door de venen van Kerry te wandelen, begeleid door een langzame optionele solo voor trombone en trompet. In Cork mag de doedelzak natuurlijk niet ontbreken en breekt een heus dansfeest los met de typische Ierse folkmuziek!

Bienvenue en Irlande ! Le pays où la musique traditionnelle est aussi riche et variée que ses paysages.

Le voyage se poursuit par le comté de Kerry avec ses landes et ses lagunes, illustré dans le deuxième mouvement par une berceuse lente et cantabile, qui laisse au chef d’orchestre la possibilité de mettre en avant un soliste de l’ensemble.

Satoshi Yagisawa is well known for his dramatic symphonic band compositions. Even though he has written relatively few marches, they are also very popular: March Willing and Able is based on a chorale while March Bou Shu is based on a Japanese folk song. The Memory of Our Native Place is a rather unusual piece for Yagisawa, as it actually closely resembles a traditional march. The piece opens with a lively fanfare and is contrasted by the following theme. The trio features a chorale-like melody.

Satoshi Yagisawa is vooral bekend van zijn dramatische orkestwerken. Marsen schreef hij nog maar weinig. Die paar die hij schreef, zijn inmiddels allemaal wel erg geliefd en populair; March Willing and Able is gebaseerd op koraalmuziek en in March Bou Shu is een Japanse volksmelodie verwerkt. Deze nieuwe mars, The Memory of Our Native Place, begint met een stralende fanfare. Daarna klinkt een innig thema. In het triodeel komt een koraalachtige melodie naar voren. Kortom: hieraan houdt uw publiek zeker een mooie herinnering!

Satoshi Yagisawa ist bekannt für seine dramatischen Blasorchesterwerke - Märsche hat er bisher nur sehr wenige, dafür aber sehr beliebte geschrieben. Zwei davon sind March Willing and Able und March Bou Shu - der eine auf choraler Musik, der andere auf einem japanischen Volkslied basierend. The Memory of Our Native Place beginnt mit einer strahlenden Fanfare, bevor ein inniges Thema erklingt. Im Trio tritt eine choralartige Melodie hervor.

The Memory of our Native Place n’est pas une marche conventionnelle, mais contient néanmoins quelques éléments standard. Elle s’ouvre avec une fanfare brillante, suivie par un thème pétillant de fraîcheur marqué par une joyeuse alternance de réponses entre bois, cuivres et cuivres graves. La mélodie chantante du trio mène fi nale haut en couleurs faisant de The Memory of our Native Place une incontournable marche de concert.

Satoshi Yagisawa ha composto oltre cento brani per fi ati, ma solamente quattro marce, tra le quali ricordiamo le acclamate March Willing and Able e March Bou Shu, la prima basata su musica corale, la seconda su una canzone folk giapponese. Con The Memory of our Native Place, Yagisawa si allontana dal suo stile poco convenzionale, componendo una marcia che si avvicina agli schemi standard. L’inizio vede protagonista una fanfara brillante, seguita da un tema più intimo. Il trio espone una melodia simile a un corale.

Although this haunting tune has the flavor and sentiment of a traditional Irish folk song, it was composed in 1995 by multifaceted artist Padraigin Ni Uallachain. Her inspiration for the song was the idea that when we are happy or sad, the elements and the natural world are aligned with our feelings. From the wistful lyrics of the song; Down by the river there's a tall willow tree, who weeps all night for you and me. This evocative setting for band follows this sentiment through peaks and valleys of sound and emotion. Dur: 3:10.

Perhaps the oldest song of friendship, Robert Burns wrote the words to Auld Lang Syne in 1788 and set them to music using the melody of a previously existing Scottish folk song. This tune was later changed to the version most often heard today. Both melodies are presented here in this masterful Paul Clark arrangement that musically evokes warm memories of the past, and a positive feeling of friendship and hope for the future. Opportunities for musicality and expressive playing make it appropriate for bands of a wide range of experience. Auld Lang Syne is the perfect closing selection for your Holiday, or any, concert!
