The ballet La Bayadère (The Temple Dancer or The Temple Maiden) was created in 1877 for famed French choreographer Marius Petipa to music by Ludwig Minkus (1826-1917). In four act and seven tableaux, the ballet tells the story of the bayadère Nikiya and the warrior Solor, lovers who are beset by jealous rivals, arranged marriages beyond their control, murder, an opium-fueled hallucination of the afterlife, and a vengeful god that destroys the temple and everybody in it as revenge for Nikiya's murder. It was first performed on February 4, 1877, by the Imperial Ballet in St. Petersburg, Russia. It was hailed as a success and masterpiece immediately after the premiere, particularly The Kingdom of the Shades scene in Act II, an excerpt which remains a major standalone work for the ballet repertoire. Modern performances of La Bayadère are almost always derived from a 1941 version sated for the Kirov/Mariinsky Ballet by Vladimir Ponomarev and Vakhtang Chabukiani, which incorporates additional music by Minkus, Drigo, and Pugni. Act II takes place after Nikiya is killed by a concealed venomous snake. A depressed Solor smokes opium, resulting in a vision of Nikiya's spirit dwelling in the Kingdom of the Shades, a nirvana in the Himalayas. The two lovers reconcile among the shades of other bayadères in a Pas de deux, then Solor is awakened just in time for his arranged marriage to another woman. This orchestration of Act II has been completed by William McDermott. Instrumentation: 2.2.2.2: 4.2.3.0: Timp.Perc(2): Harp: Str (4-4-3-3-3 in set).

Perihelion was commissioned by the Cory Band as their own-choice piece for the 2013 European Brass Band Championships, held in Oslo, Norway. Winning the set piece section of the contest and coming second to Eikanger-Bjorsvik Musikklag with their own choice selection, Cory went on to become European Champions for the fifth time.Cory MD Philip Harper had asked for a 'Concerto for Band' to fully exploit his outstanding band of virtuosi, and composer Philip Sparke created a one-movement work with contiguous sections, first featuring horns and flugel, then trombones followed by cornets and a slower central section for percussion and baritones, euphonium andbasses.The piece is abstract in nature, without a specific programme, and the title merely reflects the fact that the piece was begun on January 2nd 2013, the day of Earth's perihelion - the point in its orbit when it is closest to the sun. It could also be argued that the piece weaves between moments of brilliant optimism and dark shadow, both of which can be the result of bright sunshine. Perihelion wurde von der der Cory Band als Selbstwahlstuck fur die European Brass Band Championships 2013 in Oslo, Norwegen, in Auftrag gegeben. Nachdem sie die Pflichtstuck-Sektion des Wettbewerbs gewonnen und mit ihrem Selbstwahlstuck den zweiten Platz hinter dem Eikanger-Bjorsvik Musiklag belegt hatte, wurde die Cory Band zum funften Mal Europameister.Der musikalische Leiter der Cory Band Philip Harper hatte ein 'Konzert fur Brass Band' in Auftrag gegeben, um das ausserordentliche Potential an Virtuosen in seiner Formation voll auszunutzen. Philip Sparke lieferte ihm ein einsatziges Werk aus aneinandergereihten Abschnitten, das zunachst die Tenor- und Flugelhorner,dann die Posaunen in den Mittelpunkt ruckt, gefolgt von den Cornets und einem langsameren Mittelteil fur Schlaginstrumente, Baritone, Euphonium und Basse.Es handelt sich um ein abstraktes, nicht programmatisches Stuck, dessen Titel sich lediglich auf die Tatsache bezieht, dass am 2. Januar 2013, als Philip Sparke mit dem Schreiben begann, das Perihel der Erde war - der sonnennachste Punkt der Erdumlaufbahn. Man konnte auch sagen, dass sich das Stuck zwischen Momenten strahlenden Optimismus' und dunklen Schatten bewegt, was beides der Wirkung strahlenden Sonnenscheins geschuldet sein kann.

Windermere Overture captures the grandeur of the largest lake in England by the same name. The short introduction quickly builds to the stately theme of the work. The middle section, while at the same tempo, explores a lighter texture and is generally orchestrated by instrument family. As the changing timbres continue to develop, the main theme returns, bringing the piece to a triumphant ending. A great overture that is easy to put together!

Marsyas ist ein Satyr aus den Metamorphosen des griechischen Dichters Ovid (43 v. Chr.-17 n. Chr.). Er findet eine von der Gottin Athene weggeworfene Flote und spielt bald so gut, dass ihn Apollo zu einem musikalischen Wettstreit zwischen Flote und Lyra herausfordert. Durch einen üblen Trick verliert Marsyas und erleidet eine grausame Strafe. Diese Sage bot eine ausgezeichnete Vorlage für ein spannendes Solowerk für Flote, in welchem auch die Harfe (Lyra) erklingt.Si les recits de metamorphoses furent tres populaires dans l'Antiquite greco-romaine, le recueil du poete latin Ovide [43 av. J.-C./17 apr. J.-C.] est de loin le plus celebre. Les quinze livres des Metamorphoses racontent la formation du monde et les transformations legendaires des dieux et des hommes en animaux, en plantes ou en objets. Parmi les nombreuses histoires de metamorphoses relatees par Ovide, on trouve celle de Marsyas, un satyre originaire de Celenes en Phrygie. Fils d'Hyagnis, considere comme l'inventeur de l'harmonie phrygienne, Marsyas excellait dans la musique. Un jour, Athena fit une flute double et en joua a un banquet des dieux. Tournee en derisionpar Hera et Aphrodite, et ayant constate elle-meme, en voyant le reflet de son visage dans l'eau, que l'instrument, quand elle en jouait, lui deformait les traits, elle jeta la flute en maudissant quiconque la ramasserait. Cette malediction frappa le satyre Marsyas qui la trouva et en joua magnifiquement, au grand plaisir des paysans des contrees phrygiennes qui l'ecoutaient et qui pretendirent que le dieu Apollon en personne n'aurait pu mieux faire avec sa lyre. Apollon entra dans une colere formidable et proposa a l'insolent satyre un concours musical dont le vainqueur pourrait faire subir au vaincu le chatiment de son choix. Les Muses et le roi Midas, choisis comme juges, ne reussirent pas a departager les concurrents. Alors, Apollon joua de la lyre a l'envers et demanda a Marsyas d'en faire autant avec son instrument. Cela etait impossible. Marsyas n'y parvint pas, et Apollon fut declare vainqueur. Il se vengea du satyre de la plus cruelle facon : il l'attacha a un pin et l'ecorcha vif.Certains racontent qu'Apollon, se repentant de sa vengeance, metamorphosa en fleuve le corps de Marsyas. D'autres pretendent que le sang de Marsyas ou les larmes versees par les nymphes et les satyres, prives des enchantements de sa flute, formerent le fleuve de Phrygie qui porte son nom. / Marsyas fut cree le 22 juillet 2005 a Bordes sur Arize en Ariege par le.
