A mirage is an illusion, something without substance that does not really exist. Although not real, its unattainable nature is perfect for musical inspiration. Composer Jacob de Haan was strolling through a picturesque forest of the Dutch Gelderland when he thought he saw a body of water. While there was no water, its mere image created waves that can be relived in De Haan’s original composition, Mirage. Mirage is het Engelse synoniem voor ‘Fata Morgana‘. De creatieve aanleiding voor deze compositie was dan ook het verhaal van een wandelaar die in een boslandschap in Gelderland water denkt te zien. Het in het triodeel deelsgezongen ‘wandelthema’ brengt de vreugde die de toeschouwer aan dit natuurverschijnsel beleeft bijzonder goed tot uitdrukking.Mirage“ ist ein englisches Synonym für Fata Morgana“. Als kreativer Anstoß für diese Komposition diente Jacob de Haan ein Spaziergänger, der durch eine Waldlandschaft im holländischen Gelderland geht und dabei glaubt, ein Gewässer zu sehen. Das im Trio teilweise gesungene Spaziergangs“-Thema bringt die Freude an diesem Naturerlebnis besonders gut zum Ausdruck. « Fata Morgana » est le nom donné un phénomène de mirage, et que l'on attribuait la fée Morgane. Du mirage, nous passons aux notes joyeuses d’une étrange promenade en forêt où la lumière donne la sensation de l’existence d’une nappe d’eau au pied d’un arbre. Mirage ou réalité ? vous de le découvrir. Ce qui est s r, c’est que le Thème de la promenade (Trio) est partiellement chanté. Una sorta di miraggio ha ispirato Jacob de Haan a comporre questo brano, prendendo spunto appunto da un “miraggio†di uno specchio d’acqua che gli si è presentato durante una passeggiata in una foresta in Olanda. Il tema della “passeggiata†parzialmente cantato nel trio, enfatizza gli spettacoli che la natura ci offre.

For many of us, Christmas is a time of joy and celebration, a time to be spent with family and friends...a festive, happy time. But for others, the same holiday season only serves to underscore the loneliness,pain, and hopelessness of their own lives.In our story, Susanna King's bright spirit and love for life overrides her circumstances; you see, Susanna has been recently diagnosed with cancer. But in spite of bad news and challenging times, she lives with the joy of Christmas in her heart.This is an emotion-filled story, rich with heart. It comes alive with great new songs that are sometimes powerful, sometimes celebratory, sometimes poignant; sometimes happy, sometimes sad; songs that propel the story along while speaking to our hearts with the love language of God's Christmas story...the birth of our Savior, Jesus.Designed to bring your music and drama ministries together, Shepherds and Kings proclaims a strong, vibrant message about the power of love--our love for one another, our love for God, and most importantly, God's desire that ALL would come to know of His great love for us. Share the hope and good news of Christmas with your church and community this year, through your presentation of Shepherds and Kings.Song Titles: Christmas All Over the World (Opener) * Underscore 1 (Susanna Arrives) * Underscore 2 (Mattiello's) * We All Need Christmas * Hopes and Fears (Duet) * Mercy for Me * Everlasting Light * Underscore 3 (Accusations) * Prince of Peace * Underscore 4 (Realization) * Winter White * Shepherds and Kings * Christmas Makes Us One (with We All Need Christmas; Christmas Makes Us One; O Come, All Ye Faithful and Shepherds and Kings).

The works for solo voice(s) and orchestra assembled in this volume owe their composition to the most diverse occasions. Some were tailor-made for female singers in Beethoven's milieu, while with others he was dabbling in the field of Italian opera (under the tutelage of none other than Antonio Salieri). Scarcely any of them made it into print during Beethoven's lifetime. Aside from canonical works of the repertoire such as “Ah! perfido†op. 65, this volume also contains unknown gems like the scene and aria Beethoven revised multiple times, “No, non turbarti†- “Ma tu tremi, o mio tesoro?â€. The study score contains the text of the scholarly Complete Edition. Beethoven specialist Ernst Herttrich additionally provides information about the genesis and exciting variants in the transmission history.

Lent & Easter Musical Not 'Who Was Jesus?' but 'Who Is Jesus?'

This concert march does not begin with flourishing trumpets orloud tutti sounds: Jupiter opens refreshingly with percussioninstruments and the “high woodwindsâ€. This original introductionis followed by a broad melodic theme and gradually features otherinstrumental groups. Thus section by section the entire band ispresented. A fantastic entrance to the concert for all players! Jupiter opent verrassend met slagwerk en het ‘hoge hout’. Op deze originele inleiding volgt een breed melodisch thema in het middenregister en langzamerhand zetten ook andere instrumentale groepen in: zo komt het hele orkestuiteindelijk aan bod. Zoals in vergelijkbare marsen van Jan Van der Roost (bijvoorbeeld Arsenal, Mercury, Minerva, Helios en Artemis) is de triomelodie in Jupiter melodisch en lyrisch van karakter. In harmonischopzicht gebeuren bijzondere dingen - een handelsmerk van de componistDieser Konzertmarsch beginnt nicht mit strahlenden Trompeten oder lauten Tutti-Klängen: Jupiter eröffnet mit Schlaginstrumenten und den hohen Holzbläsern“. Diese originelle Einleitung wird von einem breiten melodischen Thema im mittleren Register abgelöst und bringt nach und nach auch andere Instrumentengruppen zum Vorschein: So wird schließlich das gesamte Blasorchester präsentiert. Ein schöner Einstieg ins Konzert für alle! Cette marche de concert ne s’ouvre ni sur des fanfares de trompettes, ni sur un puissant tutti, mais nous plonge dans un univers sonore rafraîchissant où dominent la percussion et les bois aigus. Cette introduction originale est suivie par l’exposition d’une ligne mélodique ample située dans le registre médium. Le tissu musical s’élargit d’autres groupes d’instruments et progressivement la formation se présente dans son intégralité. l’instar d’autres marches de Jan Van der Roost telles que Mercury, Arsenal, Minerva, Helios ou Artemis, Jupiter développe un trio particulièrement expressif. La mélodie prend quelquefois une tournure inattendue (même sur le planharmonique), une marque de fabrique du compositeur.

Italian composer Ottorino Respighi wrote several operas, ballet music,chamber music, piano and organ works as well as Cantatas in a stylemuch influenced by the French Impressionists mixed with his uniquepersonal style. The Japanese arranger Yoshihiro Kimura has skilfullyadapted Respighi?s symphonic poem Fontane di Roma for concertbands of an advanced level. De roem van de Italiaanse violist en componist Ottorino Respighi (1879-1936) berust vooral op zijn instrumentale werken, met name het orkestrale drieluik van symfonische gedichten: Fontane di Roma, Pini di Roma en FesteRomane. Zijn stijl is be nvloed door de Franse impressionisten, Rimsky-Korsakov en Richard Strauss, maar met een geheel eigen tintje. De Japanse arrangeur Yoshihiro Kimura heeft het symfonische gedicht Fontane di Roma vanRespighi op vakkundige wijze bewerkt voor harmonieorkest.Ottorino Respighi schrieb mehrere Opern, Ballettmusik, Kammermusik, Klavier- und Orgelwerke sowie Kantaten in einem vom französischen Impressionismus geprägten, jedoch auch sehr eigenständigen Stil. Auch das sinfonische Gedicht Fontane di Roma, das Yoshihiro Kimura geschickt für Blasorchester umsetzte, hat eine ganz eigene Note, die es interessant für Spieler und Zuhörer macht. D’abord élève du Liceo Musicale de Bologne, le compositeur et violoniste italien Ottorino Respighi (1879-1936) suit l’enseignement de Rimski-Korsakov Saint-Pétersbourg, où il fut quelque temps alto solo de l'Orchestre de l'Opéra. En 1908, alors qu’il séjourne Berlin, il reçoit les conseils de Max Bruch.De retour en Italie, il entreprend une carrière de violoniste et d'altiste avant d’être nommé professeur de composition au Conservatoire Sainte-Cécile de Rome dont il deviendra directeur en 1924. Deux ans plus tard, Respighi démissionne de ce poste afin de pouvoir se consacrer pleinement la composition.Ottorino Respighi est considéré comme l'un des plus grandscompositeurs italiens du début du XXe siècle. Auteur de plusieurs opéras, de ballets, de quelques cantates et œuvres de musique de chambre, de mélodies pour orgue et piano, Respighi s’est acquis la notoriété mondiale notamment par le triptyque symphonique Fontane di Roma (Les Fontaines de Rome), Pini di Roma (Les Pins de Rome) et Feste Romane (Fêtes romaines). Son style unique a été profondément influencé par les impressionnistes français, par Rimski-Korsakov et Richard Strauss.Le compositeur-arrangeur japonais Yoshihiro Kimura a réalisé une superbe adaptation pour Orchestre d’Harmonie du poème symphonique Les Fontaines de Rome d'Ottorino Respighi.

The chorale cantata Straf mich nicht in deinem Zorn (O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger), which was probably written in 1771, makes use of a poem by Johann Georg Albinus on the 6th Psalm. The seven stanzas of the original are realized in seven separate movements. The work’s composer, Johann Ernst Bach, received his musical training from his godfather, Johann Sebastian Bach. He later served in a dual capacity as public lawyer and organist in Eisenach, then from 1756 as Kapellmeister at the ducal court in Weimar.The well-known hymn melody, which has also survived with the text “Mache dich, mein Geist, bereitâ€, can be heard in all movements. As a setting of a penitential psalm, the cantata is particularly suitable for performance during Lent and Holy Week.

Have you ever heard of a bear with wings? Or a biffalo-buffalo-bison? How about a wallaboo? A. A. Milne, best-known as the author of Winnie the Pooh, penned this playful poem about amusing animals, both real and imagined, at a zany zoo. This clever children's choral offers plenty of musical moments (including independent counterlines and logical 2-part harmonies) in between giggles. Perform with a light, bright tone and crisp consonants on the patter-like words. Two likely results: hilarious rehearsals and a roaring crowd!
