A contagious piece of music by Peter Martin in which he hints at the popular amusement music by Bert Kaempfert. Mombassa is a lively harbour city in Kenya which can be heard in the music. Happiness and cheeriness are the ingredients of this nice piece. Success is assured.

Wer nur den lieben Gott lässt walten-Wer nur den lieben Gott lässt walten was composed by Georg Neumark in about 1641 and was subtitled ?Trostlied? literally meaning consolation song. Songbooks at the time showed the popularity of this song and it is still well-known today partly due to Johann Sebastian Bach?s use of the melody for one of his own chorals. In Jan de Haan?s arrangement the choral is heard twice once alternating with the original motif from the introduction and a second time without interruption reflecting the composer?s original intention - a song of consolation.

Par MENA MARIA. Here’s an easy arrangement of this popular Christmas song composed by Maria Mena and Martin Sjølie. I have tried to spread the melody to several groups throughout the arrangement. The melody has to be played rhythmically, but also with flow and legato style. Please strive for best possible intonation and balance where the melody is played by several players. At bar 13, flugelhorn and 2/3 cornet plays a little counter theme. Please strive for best possible intonation and balance also on this. Be aware so that the cup mute sound fits the flugelhorn as good as possible. The quarter notes played by horns and trombones at bar 18 have both a harmonic and rhythmic function. This arrangement is made with several cue notes for some instruments. In the score, there are some parts marked with optional. It’s possible to play the arrangement without these parts. The arrangement ends quite and calm, like a peaceful Christmas day. - Reid Gilje - / Date parution : 2023-07-31/ Répertoire / Ensemble de Cuivres

Cette oeuvre comprend différentes parties courtes qui comme le titre laisse supposer garnissent d?une manière frivole le m?me thème. Cette composition s?adresse surtout aux sections basses et a également une fonction didactique. Aussi très adapté pour des orchestres de jeunesses.
