As recorded by QUEEN-Freddie Mercury avoua avoir composé Crazy Little Thing Called Love alors qu?il prenait son bain dans un hôtel à Munich. Cela ne lui prit que 5 minutes pour réaliser les partitions de chaque instrument et le texte. Le génie cela ne s?explique décidément pas... La chanson écrite dans un style très rockabilly et chantée à la manière d'Elvis Presley off rira au groupe son premier n° 1 aux États-Unis.

MusicWorks ? Grade 3Here is a marvelously appealing work suitable for contest or concerts composed in two main sections. The melodic and reverent Ballad is richly scored and contains nicely contrastinginstrumental colors. A spirited clapping pattern accompanies the woodwinds in the opening strains of the Dance. The Ballad theme returns in a glorious grandioso setting to close out this well-crafted work. (5:40)

This novelty piece in rondo form features the clarinet section removing one section of their instrument at a time. As the piece progresses, the instruments become smaller and smaller until the main theme they carry is totally absent from the accompaniment part played by the rest of the ensemble. The creative possibilities with this piece are limited only to the director's imagination! (2:10) / Concert Band

This ballad will take you to the countryside of France where a genuine peace prevails.

From Balletti a cinque voci-During the second half of the 16th century Giovanni Giacomo Gastoldi composed almost entirely sacred works however it was with his Balletti not published until 1591 and 1594 that he gained fame and recognition. The homophonic structure and simple melodies conveyed a charming sense of naivety that became so popular during this period. Robert van Beringen has arranged Amor Vittorioso La Sirena L’Innamorato and L’ardito with five part flexible instrumentation.

Pour cette ?uvre le compositeur s?est inspiré de grandes ballades orchestrales d?artistes pop comme Marco Borsato Céline Dion ou Laura Fabian et l?a dédiée à une personne spéciale. Grâce à l?instrumentation 'Ballata Per Te' peut ?tre joué par quasi n?importe quel orchestre et s?apparente surtout à des mélodies entraînantes qui se succèdent tantôt en mineur tantôt en majeur.

Flexible Instrumentation for brass woodwinds or strings incl. percussion-From the blockbuster James Bond film Skyfall pop sensation Adele has crafted a fitting theme to suit the mood. Skillfully arranged here for incomplete ensembles.
