This composition is based on the march from Henry Purcell's Music for the funeral of Queen Mary II, a work written in 1694. In this fantasia, various movements flow from one to the next following the main theme: these movements not only elaborate on the theme, but also contrast with it. At times, the thematic material diverges so much, that the work acquires a character of its own: however, the composer often refers back to fragments of the theme. (Grade 3.5) Dur: 11:30 (De Haske).

I Shall Love But Thee is an occasional work in the literal sense of the word, since it was originally written on the occasion of the composer’s youngest son’s wedding. The texts, by William Shakespeare, inspired Jan Van der Roost to compose profound and appealing music, largely in the style of Henry Purcell (in the first part) and Georg Friedrich Handel (in the second part)—although no literal quotations have been used. The rather rare combination of soprano and concert band makes this piece a unique addition to the repertoire!I Shall Love But Thee is in de letterlijke zin van het woord een gelegenheidswerk, want het werd oorspronkelijk geschreven naar aanleiding van het huwelijk van de jongste zoon van de componist. De teksten zijn van William Shakespeare: Jan Van der Roost werd erdoor ge nspireerd tot het creëren van indringende en aansprekende muziek, die in stilistisch opzicht doet denken aan Henry Purcell (in het eerste deel) en Georg Friedrich Händel (in het tweede deel), twee componisten die op teksten van Shakespeare hebben gecomponeerd ook al zijn er geen letterlijke citaten gebruikt. De vrij zeldzame combinatie van sopraan en harmonieorkest maakt dit werk een unieke aanwinst voor hetrepertoire! I Shall Love But Thee ist ein Gelegenheitswerk im eigentlichen Sinn, denn der Komponist hat es ursprünglich aus Anlass der Hochzeit seines jüngsten Sohnes geschrieben. Die Texte stammen von William Shakespeare und haben Jan Van der Roost dazu inspiriert, eine tiefgründige und ansprechende Musik im Stil der großen Meister zu komponieren. Stilistisch erinnert sie an Henry Purcell (im ersten Teil) und an Georg Friedrich Händel (im zweiten Teil), auch wenn keine literarischen Zitate verwendet wurden. Durch die eher seltene Kombination von Sopran und Blasorchester stellt das Stück eine einzigartige Bereicherung für das Repertoire dar!I Shall Love But Thee est une « œuvre d’occasion » dans l’un des sens littéraux du mot, puisqu’elle fut écrite l’occasion du mariage du fils cadet du compositeur. Les textes de William Shakespeare ont inspiré Jan Van der Roost écrire de la musique profonde et attrayante qui, au niveau du style, nous rappelle Henry Purcell (dans la première partie) et Georg Friedrich Haendel (dans la deuxième moitié), deux compositeurs qui ont mis en musique des textes de Shakespeare, bien qu’on n’y retrouve pas de citations littérales. Cette œuvre unique au regroupement plutôt rare de soprano et orchestre d'harmonie va enrichir votre répertoire !I Shall Love But Thee' (Amerò soltanto te) è stata scritta originariamente in occasione del matrimonio del figlio più giovane del compositore Jan van der Roost. I testi di William Shakespeare hanno ispirato Van der Roost a comporre musica nello stile di Purcell e Händel. La combinazione di soprano e banda rende questo pezzo un'aggiunta unica al repertorio!

Purcell composed this brilliant theme as incidental music for his work Abdelazar (1693). Three centuries later Benjamin Britten used it in his symphonic work The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra (with the subtitle Variation and Fugue on a theme of Purcell) and it became famous. This arrangement by Jan de Haan remains faithful to Britten's intentions featuring the different tembres of the instruments. Rondo entrances the listener with its varied tone colours and its solemn grandeur.Das Rondo aus dem Stuck Abdelazer oder die Rache des Mohren ist eines der bekanntesten Stucke von Purcell - nicht zuletzt, weil Benjamin Britten es fur seinen beruhmten Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra verwendete. Dank Jan de Haans Bearbeitung fur Blasorchester konnen nun auch Blasorchester jeder Altersgruppe das Rondo zu feierlichen Anlassen erklingen lassen.

In this setting for wind band, Richard Saucedo presents the opening theme followed by Britten's exuberant fugue which culminates in a glorious finale and recap of Purcell's melody. A stunning work for mature ensembles. Dur. 4:40.

Jeremiah Clarke (c. 1674-1707) belongs to the generation of English composers following that of Henry Purcell. Not much is known about his early life, but by 1685 he was a chorister of the Chapel Royal, a group of liturgical musicians attached to the court. He held the post of organist at Winchester College from 1692 but later returned to London as Master of the Choristers at St Paul’s Cathedral. The Prince of Denmark’s March is perhaps his best-known work and was originally written for harpsichord, although Clarke later included it in a collection of pieces for wind instruments.Jeremiah Clarke (vers 1674-1707) fait partie de la génération de compositeurs anglais succédant celle d’Henry Purcell. On sait très peu de choses sur ses débuts musicaux. En 1685, il entre en tant que choriste la chapelle royale d’Angleterre, un ensemble de musiciens liturgiques au service de la cour. partir de 1692, il est organiste Winchester College avant de retourner Londres où il est nommé chef des chœurs de la Cathédrale Saint-Paul. The Prince of Denmark’s March (“La Marche du Prince du Danemarkâ€) est sans aucun doute la plus connue des œuvres de Clarke. Composée l’origine pour clavecin, elle est incluse plus tard par Clarke dans unrecueil de pièces pour instruments vent.
