Jesu bleibet meine Freude from Cantata 147-Bach’s appointment as the Cantor at Leipzig’s Thomaskirche in 1723 required him to produce a new cantata for every Sunday service. Jesu Joy of Man’s Desiring is taken from his Cantata No.147 and is unusually elaborate treated more like an aria than a chorale. It is perhaps the best-loved cantata movement from Bach’s entire output and is a certain crowd pleaser for your concert programme.

Pacific Dreams describes the experience of Miguel a traveling composer from Spain who feeling somewhat alienated from his homeland is wandering through an area of Sydney known as The Rocks. At a small outdoor market in a typical street of this oldcolonial neighbourhood he discovers a print of William DeShazos painting 'Pacific Dreams' Portrayed in the painting is the surf of one of the exotic islands in the Pacific. Next with the impressive Sydney Harbour Bridge looming over the narrowstreets of The Rocks he envisions sultry Pacific beaches. Suddenly a theme he once composed about the lakes in Japan comes to him. Is it the Asian influences present in cosmopolitan Sydney that bring this theme to mind? Or perhaps the waters aroundSydney over which he could sail to Tahiti? He is uncertain. Could this same theme be used to create a new composition about his feelings for the metropolis Sydney? How then to work his Pacific Dreams into the mix? Miguel is certainly no fan ofHawaiian music. Mayby he could use the vocabularies of islands like Hawaii and Tahiti their beautiful vowel combinations being sung ad libitum by a mixed choir.With these ideas and his newly purchased print of 'Pacific Dreams' he boards the Metroat Circular Quay. He has a final glimpse of the harbour and the Sydney Opera House as the train races into the ground. On to the hotel! To work! He must compose!Maestoso : Miguel is impressed as he gazes upon the Sydney Harbour Bridge. And yet hewants to go away from this city. Away to an exotic island in the Pacific.Steady Rock : In the Rocks musicians are playing at a square. Miguel basks in the atmosphere but at the same time he is fantasizing about Hawaii and Tahiti.Andante Lamentoso :In his hotel room Miguel is feeling sad and lonely in this big city. He takes comfort in his 'Pacific Dreams'.Allegro : Miguel boards the boat that takes him from Darling Harbour to Circular Quay. In his mind he is traveling on to Hawaii. Or is ithome where the bolero is playing? He is pulled back to reality by the skyline of Sydney.

Meditation on 'O come O come Immanuel'-The Advent hymn we all know today as O Come O Come Immanuel was arranged in its modern form by Thomas Helmore and published in Hymnal Noted in 1856. Both the words and melody however predate this version by centuries. The words are based on a 9th century antiphon and the tune Veni Immanuel is taken from a 15th century processional of French Franciscan nuns part of the setting for the funeral hymn Libera Me. This arrangement aims to expand on the power and mystery of the original tune and will be most effective if the solo cornet at the start and end of the piece can be placed away from the band maybe at the back of the auditorium.

from the Paramount Television Series STAR TREK-Qui ne connaît pas la célèbre introduction « s?aventurant avec audace là où aucun homme n?est jamais allé auparavant » au début de chaque film de la série Star Trek. De nombreuses générations ont été élevées avec l?une des séries de science-fiction les plus emblématiques jamais écrites. Le thème original est aussi iconique que les phrases d?ouverture ce qui en fait une parfaite préparation à la série de films Star Trek qui sortiront en 2017. L?arrangement est de Thomas Doss.

Le 30 avril 1803 le Traité de cession de la Louisiane entre la France et les États-Unis était signé. L?acquisition de ces terres permet aux États-Unis de doubler la superficie de leur territoire de l?époque. Meriwether Lewis et William Clark sont alors mandatés par le président Thomas Jefferson pour cartographier les sources du Missouri et tracer une voie vers le Pacifique. Parti de Louisville dans le Kentucky en mai 1804 le corps expéditionnaire (?Corps of Discovery?) traverse d?interminables territoires hostiles réussit à atteindre le Pacifique et rentre au terme d?un périple de deux ans ! Cette composition ne fait pas le récit du voyage mais permet au compositeur decommémorer les deux cents ans de cette fabuleuse expédition.

L?introduction qui évoque le paysage de Groningen avec ses magnifiques vues étendues est suivie de cinq variations basées sur le thème grégorien du XIIIe siècle Dies Irae qui est attribué à Thomas de Celano. Chaque variation peut être considérée comme une étape ou une scène de la riche histoire du village ce qui fait que cette ?uvre formidable et expressive se prête parfaitement à un concours ou un concert.
