Rainbow in the Clouds is based on an old traditional spiritual, possibly an African-American song from the 19th century, entitled God Put a Rainbow in the Clouds.  Composer Carol Brittin Chambers was inspired by poetic Maya Angelou to create of setting of this beautiful song. It is lush and beautiful throughout and will highlight the musicianship of your students.  This would serve as a welcome change of pace piece on your program for concert or contest.
Rainbow in the Clouds was commissioned by the Pflugerville Middle School Wind Ensemble in Pflugerville, Texas, directed by Shauna Satrom. The piece premiered in May 2017, in memory and celebration of Luis Ham, who was an Assistant Principal at Pflugerville Middle School.This piece is based on an old traditional spiritual, possibly an African-American song from the nineteenth century, entitled God Put a Rainbow in the Clouds. The first time I heard reference to this song was in a Maya Angelou video, in which she sings a portion of it: “When it looked like the sun wouldn’t shine anymore, Oh, God put a rainbow in the clouds.” In the video, Dr. Angelou honors those who have demonstrated kindness to her in the past, and she suggests that we all try to be a blessing to others. The Pflugerville community believed that Mr. Ham, with his positive outlook, was definitely a “rainbow in the clouds” for other people.The piece begins with a full ensemble introduction, followed by a woodwind treatment of the first verse with a fairly reserved tempo and straight eighth-note rhythm. When brass pick up the melody on the second phrase, we start to hear the song more like the original spiritual, with dotted-eighth, sixteenth rhythms. The middle section of the piece at m. 22 begins to move at a slightly quicker tempo, and the mood becomes lighter. This section becomes a call-and-response between a euphonium solo and upper woodwinds. The final section of the piece involves everyone playing together joyously and full, eventually winding down with two more solo statements in flute and euphonium.Note to the Conductor:Use this piece to introduce or reinforce the following musical concepts:Lyrical, expressive playing varied stylesSolo responsibilitiesKey changes, tempo changes.

The forerunner of the Bottle Dance was written for the Blue Danube Harmonica Band in the early 1960s. Later, at the instigation of the excellent folk dance choreographer Miklós Manninger, an arrangement for wind band was prepared, in order to widen the ensemble s repertoire of German national pieces by the addition of a Hungarian dance. The production scored a resounding success not only with the audience but also with the musicians who performed in it, with the result that before long the composer prepared from the Bottle Dance an independent work for wind ensemble - a showy piece, virtuosic in its effect yet easily playable. The youth orchestra arrangement is a simplified andshortened version of the work for full-scale orchestra.

Antal Farkas (1925-1992) komponierte hauptsächlich für Blasorchester und Bläser-Kammerensembles. Der Flaschentanz gehört zu seinen beliebtesten Werken. Der Vorläufer des Stückes entstand in den frühen 1960er Jahren für Akkordeonorchester. Auf Initiative des ausgezeichneten Volkstanzchoreographen Miklós Manninger fand später auch eine Bearbeitung für Blasorchester statt. Nicht nur beim Publikum, auch bei den ausführenden Musikern hatte das Stück durchschlagenden Erfolg, deshalb komponierte Farkas vom Flaschentanz bald darauf ein eigenständiges - eindrucksvolles, virtuos wirkendes - und dennoch leicht spielbares - Werk für Blasorchester. Die Bearbeitung für Jugendorchesterist eine vereinfachte und verkürzte Fassung der Fassung für großes Orchester.

Imprégné des caractéristiques des styles de danses populaires hongroises, Bottle Dance est une oeuvre espiègle, remplie d’effets virtuoses. Les exigences techniques restent néanmoins raisonnables. Devant le succès de sa version originale pour Orchestre d’Harmonica, Antal Farkas a décidé de renouveler l’expérience en réalisant cette version pour Orchestre d’Harmonie.

La “danza della bottiglia” fu scritta per la Harmonica Band Danubio Blu all’inizio degli anni ’60. Visto il grande successo della danza fu deciso di crearne un arrangiamento per banda. Bottle Dance si presenta al pubblico come un vero show, con effetti virtuosi e spettacolari.

János Galli (1921-2006) was a conductor, composer, music teacher, a well-known and highly respected personality in Hungarian wind music life. As a music teacher he directed numerous string and wind ensembles and choirs, made hundreds of transcriptions for wind orchestras, and instrumented works for ensembles of all sizes and formations. The most important of his works are his series of volumes of marches, folksong arrangements and church music. He was excellent at instrumentation. For its fine sound and easy playability we recommend to youth wind bands and their conductors this work of his composed in memory of the king who founded the Hungarian state.

János Galli (1921-2006) Chorleiter, Komponist und Musiklehrer, war in den ungarischen Bläserkreisen eine bekannte und anerkannte Persönlichkeit. Als Musiklehrer leitete er zahlreiche Streich- und Bläserensembles und Chöre, fertigte mehrere hundert Transkriptionen für Bläserorchester an und instrumentierte Werke für verschieden große Orchester unterschiedlicher Besetzung. Von seinen eigenen Kompositionen sind die Märsche, Volksliedbearbeitungen und die kirchenmusikalische Heftreihe am bedeutendsten. Er war eine exzellente Arrangeur. Sein Gedenkstück an den Staatsgründerkönig, Hl. Stephan empfehlen wir den Jugendblasorchestern und ihren Leitern wegen seines guten Klangs undwegen seiner einfacher Spielbarkeit.
