The most important work by the Russian composer Modest Moussorgsky (1839-1881) is undoubtedly his masterly opera Boris Godunov. A number of years after the composer’s death, this opera was re-orchestrated by Rimsky-Korsakov, with his romantic version being quiet different from the original score by Moussorgsky. ‘Love in the Garden’ is a lovely quiet moment from the opera, a beautiful duet between Marina and Dmitri. Add a little romance to any concert with this attractive arrangement for concert band.Het belangrijkste werk van de Russische componist Modest Mussorgsky (1839-1881) is ongetwijfeld zijn magistrale opera Boris Godunov. Een aantal jaren na de dood van de componist werd deze opera door Rimsky-Korsakov bewerkten opnieuw georkestreerd, zijn romantische versie week behoorlijk af van de originele partituur van Moussorgsky. Love in the Garden vormt in de opera een rustpunt, het is een prachtig duet tussen Marina en Dmitri (ook wel Grigorigenaamd). Wil van der Beek maakte er een fraai arrangement van voor harmonieorkest.Das bedeutendste Werk von Modest Mussorgski ist zweifellos seine Oper Boris Godunov. Einige Jahre nach Mussorgskis Tod wurde die Oper von seinem Kollegen Rimski-Korsakow neu orchestriert. Aus seiner romantischen Version, die ziemlich von der Originalpartitur abweicht, nahm sich Wil van der Beek das zärtliche Duett von Marina und Dmitri/Grigori in der Gartenszene vor und bearbeitete es geschickt für Blasorchester. Modest Moussorgski (1839-1881) a largement puisé son inspiration dans la Russie médiévale. Son chef-d’œuvre lyrique Boris Godounov, lui valut une reconnaissance internationale posthume gr ce la version retouchée par son ami Rimski-Korsakov, éclipsant complètement la version originale. Wil van der Beek a arrangé l’un des plus beaux extraits de l’opéra, le duo entre Marina et Dimitri/Grigori : O tsarévitch, je t’implore.

Enjoy this powerful minor-key march with your young band. It’s a great opportunity for the beginning group to experience playing a concert-style march with big, bold themes. Scored so that even a relatively small group can sound solid and impressive, the dynamics and articulations give you plenty to teach while the ranges and rhythms stay well within manageable limits for all players. Your students will love playing Thunderbolt Peak March. Electrifying!Mit dem Thunderbolt Peak March bekommen Jugendblasorchester schon früh die Möglichkeit, einen imposanten Marsch im Konzertstil mit breit angelegten Themen zu spielen. Dieser kraftvolle Marsch in Moll klingt auch schon in kleinerer Besetzung gut, was oft unvollständig besetzten jungen Ensembles sehr entgegen kommen wird. Leicht, aber eindrucksvoll! l’est de la Californie s’élève la Sierra Nevada. Coiffée de neige, la cime du Mont Thunderbolt (Thunderbolt Peak) se dresse, spectaculaire, au beau milieu de cette chaîne montagneuse. Cette marche imposante aux thèmes amples décrit, dans un mode mineur, la dangereuse beauté du décor. Une œuvre efficace même si l’on dispose d’une formation incomplète.

Step right up, ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, step right up! See the exotic, the strange, and the magical at the Cirque de L’étrange, or “Circus of the Strange.†This piece evokes a bygone era when circuses and carnivals provided people from all walks of life a chance to see human and animal oddities. Cirque de L'étrange is an original concert march written in standard march form, but its sound is anything but standard. This piece is playable by younger groups and is a great way to expose students to the march form and style without sounding like your typical march.Step right up ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, step right up! See the exotic, the strange, and the magical at the Cirque de L’étrange. Welcome to the Cirque de L’étrange, known in English as the “Circus of the Strange.†This piece evokes a time of a bygone era, a time when circuses and carnivals provided people from all walks of life a chance to see human and animal oddities that were sources of both delight and horror. While many of these sideshow attractions were deemed fraudulent, it did not deter the crowds from flocking to be shocked and awed. I have always held a special place in my heart for the showmanship of carnivals, because my grandfather dearly loved them. For much of his life, he worked at fairs and carnivals selling cotton candy and candy apples. A large portion of my days when growing up were spent running around fairgrounds and helping my grandfather with his stand. He imparted in me a love for the cunning, magic, and sheer joy that only carnivals and circuses can bring. In Cirque de L’étrange, I sought to capture the the mirthful, yet uncanny mood of the carnivals that I grew up exploring, thus transporting you to a different time.Cirque de L'étrange is an original concert march written in standard march form, but its sound is anything but standard. This piece is playable by younger groups, as it is a great way to expose students to the march form and style while not sounding like your typical march.Opening in D minor, the piece combines the playful feel of a march and a macabre tango. The second time through the First Strain (mm. 5-23), the upper woodwinds and bells add a second counter melody based in D harmonic minor, which heightens the peculiar nature of the piece. The Second Strain (mm. 24-43) by contrast, is a little more upbeat, thus evoking the magical ebullience of a circus, which is further highlighted by the xylophone part. The Second Strain ends in the key of F major and sets up the transition to the Trio in the key of G minor. The Trio (m. 44) begins with the G harmonic minor melody in the clarinets and a counter melody in the bassoon and tenor saxophone. The rest of the woodwinds and bells join in at m. 60 while the percussion adds a Gypsy-like feel with tambourine and triangle. At m. 76 the full band joins in the macabre parade with the trombones and baritones harmonizing the counter melody. The conclusion of the march has the upper woodwinds, adding a second counter melody complete with trills to bring the march to an exciting and dramatic finish.As the World’s Greatest Showman, P.T. Barnum, a man my grandfather greatly admired, once said “The noblest art is that of making others happy.†It is my hope that through this piece you will experience the thrill, delight, and fright that only carnivals can bring as you visit the Circus of the Strange!

The Hida High School is in a highland city called Takayama in Gifu Prefecture. Takayama City has some of the highest mountains in Japan, atmospheric rows of houses and streets, and a beautiful landscape. The magnificent views from these mountains can be described as a paradise above the clouds. When the composer visited there in the summer of 2001, the lovely flowers spreading through the valley and the refreshing air welcomed him. The flowers looked as if they were fashionably dressed and fully enjoying conversation and a short summer at a reunion party. The composer was inspired by this scenery to compose this piece. The musical party opens with happy greetings of a reunion andjoyful themes follow one after another. A light xylophone solo, a waltz and an adagio featuring alternate solos by alto saxophone, euphonium and trumpet lead to a brilliant finale featuring brass and percussion played in irregular time. A beautiful musical picture that your band will enjoy performing for many years.

Henk Hogestein has created a calm, yet uplifting arrangement of the famous Irish song Believe Me, if all these Endearing Young Charms. The melody displays the very best of Irish tradition with the words coming from a poem by Thomas Moore about love that goes above and beyond physical beauty. Irish Charms will make a wonderful inspirational interlude at any concert. In Irish Charms verarbeitete Henk Hogestein das ruhige, stimmungsvolle irische Lied Believe Me, if All those Endearing Young Charms. Die liebliche Melodie ist traditionell irisch; der Text ist ein Gedicht über Liebe, die über die vergängliche Schönheit hinausgeht, das der berühmte Dichter Thomas Moore einst für seine durch Krankheit entstellte Frau Bessie schrieb. Ein ergreifendes, ruhiges Stück für Blasorchester! Straordinario musicista, poeta e cantante, Thomas Moore (1779-1852) trovò la sua vera ispirazione quando si mise a lavorare su Irish Melodies (1808-1834) che ottenne un importante successo. Poetizzò l’Irlanda con una straordinaria intensit e un’emozione vibrante che hanno ben presto reso popolari questi brevi canti. Moore divenne così un eroe nazionale. Believe Me, if All those Endearing Young Charms è una delle più belle pagine dedicata alla moglie malata. Henk Hogenstein ne ha realizzato un arrangiamento fluido e coinvolgente.
