Though not as familiar as other holiday carols, this ancient melody has an intrinsic beauty in both its shape and harmonic support. Reflecting those elements, this arrangement creates an evocative sound world. The mood is inspired by viewing the expanse of the night sky. Throughout history, we as humans are connected, in a sense, by the fact that we look up at the same pattern of stars today as those who created this ancient tune so many years ago, which suggests a point of connection over time. In this arrangement you will find a sense of wonder and awe as the melody weaves its way between consonance and dissonance. The re-imagining of this medieval carol reflects the timeless nature of the Christmas season. Students will work on sustaining long tones and tuning non-traditional chords in this choral-like setting for string orchestra. The melody flows between all the parts with short musical interludes between.Though not as familiar as other holiday carols, this ancient melody has an intrinsic beauty in both its shape and harmonic support.

Courtly Procession and Dances brings the royal courts of medieval Europe to life at your next concert! The work opens with a stately brass and percussion fanfare. The courtly procession follows, and is played by the full ensemble. A slower, lyrical dance contrasts with the procession and eventually leads into a light-hearted and lively dance featuring very playable woodwind lines. The work concludes with a restatement of the processional. Courtly Procession and Dances is fresh, highly melodic, and great for variety in concert programming.

Here’s an engaging and imaginative work for developing musicians that has the added benefit of providing great teaching opportunities! Into The Dragon's Keep opens and closes with a haunting flute/optional piccolo solo that will leave your students feeling like they just stepped into a story. Utilizing an open drone in the low brass throughout, giving it a very medieval and Celtic sound, your students will be engaged as they learn about playing in contrasting meters of 3/4 and 6/8, and in Dorian mode. Highly recommended!

Questo libro intende narrare una vicenda: quella delle relazioni tra pittura e musica - e tra queste e le messe in scena drammatiche - nella rappresentazione dell'incarnazione di Cristo, dalle prime immagini altomedievali fino ai repertori delle zampogne dei nostri giorni e alla drammatizzazione domestica del presepe nei riti della novena di Natale. Intende mostrare come pittura, musica, dramma, sviluppando ciascuno per proprio conto il tema della Nativita, si siano reciprocamente influenzati per raccontare delle relazioni tra umano e divino, angeli e pastori, organi e zampogne. Intende mostrare infine come la rappresentazione pittorica, musicale, drammatica del Natale abbia agito sulla realta cui si ispirava, determinando modificazioni di rilievo nelle tradizioni pastorali prese a modello. Non intende questo libro, e non potrebbe intendere, fornire un catalogo completo delle rappresentazioni drammatiche, figurative, musicali del Natale; vuole piuttosto suggerire un approccio ermeneutico che permetta di interpretare le molte fonti teatrali, figurative, musicali che in esso non sono descritte ne menzionate.L'Italia, che e l'area interessata da questa indagine, non e tutta trattata con uniforme dettaglio: sia perche la storia delle rappresentazioni natalizie non interessa tutta la penisola con uguale intensita, sia perche le ricerche sul Natale (condotte direttamente da me o da altri studiosi) non hanno conosciuto la medesima profondita su tutto il territorio. Ricerche estese e capillari su tutto il territorio italiano, e la descrizione di tutti i documenti collazionati non avrebbero peraltro, credo, mutato in modo sostanziale la prospettiva di questo lavoro, e lo avrebbero appesantito enormemente. Alcune zone sono state indagate piu dettagliatamente di altre, e non a caso; l'Umbria e la Toscana, nel Trecento e nel Quattrocento, hanno conosciuto una presenza francescana piu fitta che altri luoghi, e la committenza da parte degli ordini francescani ha avuto in quel periodo un ruolo determinante nella diffusione dei temi natalizi. Dall'Italia centrale, la vicenda delle rappresentazioni natalizie, ancora sotto l'impulso francescano, si irradia, nel Cinquecento e nel Seicento, in innumerevoli <> artistiche, verso le campagne, i piccoli centri, le citta dell'Italia settentrionale e meridionale. In Puglia fiorisce una tradizione plastica, che segnala e in parte determina la fortuna del presepe a tutto tondo nell'Italia meridionale.

The Legend of Celobrium (“La légende de Celobriumâ€) est une œuvre de commande pour l’Orchestre d’Harmonie de Soleuvre au Luxembourg l’occasion de la célébration de son centenaire, en 2007.Celobrium est le nom donné par les Romains la ville de Soleuvre (Zolwer en luxembourgeois ou Zolver en allemand).

Il autorisa l’épouse d’Alexandre quitter les lieux avec son ne et emporter avec elle tous les biens précieux que l’ ne pouvait porter. Il lui accorda le droit de s’installer en lieu s r aussi loin que l’ ne pouvait la mener. Magnanime, elle choisit d’emmener son mari avec elle, consciente que sa fuite serait ainsi ralentie. Avant de partir, elle jeta son or et ses précieux joyaux dans un puits profond du ch teau.Le voyage fut long et difficile. force de ténacité, ils réussirent se mettre en sécurité au sommet d’une colline avoisinante. Ils s’y installèrent et érigèrent un nouveau ch teau, le ch teau de Differdange.Les siècles passèrent et le ch teau du Zolwerknapp n’était plus qu’un amas de ruines. Jamais personne n’avait osé y chercher le trésor qui sommeillait dans les profondeurs du puits. Mais un jour, le prêtre local réussit persuader sept hommes braves de descendre au fond de l’obscur goulot pour récupérer l’or. Pour ce faire, il leur donna une corde et leur conseilla de garder le silence une fois le fond atteint. Les sept.

Odilia is an up-tempo and joyful ode to Baume-les-Dames, a village in the department of Doubs in Franche-Comté, Eastern France.The title is derived from the legend of Odilia of Alsace (venerated as Saint Odilia, or Odile), the daughter of the Duke of Alsace. She was born blind, and literally saw the light at the age of twelve at the convent of Baume-les-Dames. From this miraculous occurrence, she was dubbed Odilia — child of light.Jacob de Haan was inspired by medieval dance music for the opening of this composition. In the slow movement that follows, a lyrical minor theme builds to a dramatic climax, which is followed by a calm passage featuring the repeatedlyrical theme. Finally, the medieval motif returns, this time presented in a festive gospel version. Odilia is een ode aan Baume-les-Dames, een dorp in het Franse departement Doubs (in de regio Franche-Comté). De titel verwijst naar de legende van Odilia, de dochter van de hertog van Elzas. Ze werd blind geboren, maar op twaalfjarige leeftijd zag ze in het nonnenklooster van Baume-les-Dames letterlijk het licht. Na dit mirakel werd ze Odilia, kind van het licht, genoemd. Middeleeuwse dansmuziek vormde de inspiratiebron voor Jacob de Haan. We horen het zowel aan het begin als het einde, terwijl in het langzame middendeel een lyrisch thema in mineur zich ontwikkelt tot een dramatisch hoogtepunt. Feestelijk en sfeervol!Odilia ist eine schnelle und fröhliche Ode an das französische Dorf Baume-les-Dames. Die Einleitung der Komposition ist mittelalterlicher Tanzmusik inspiriert. Der nachfolgende langsame Satz in lyrischem Moll steigert sich zu einem dramatischen Höhepunkt, gefolgt von einer ruhigen Passage, die das lyrische Thema wieder aufnimmt. Schließlich kehrt das mittelalterliche Motiv aus der Einleitung wieder, diesmal in einer festlichen Gospelversion. Odilia est une joyeuse et allègre ode Baume-les-Dames, un village situé dans le département du Doubs, dans l’est de la France. Jacob de Haan s’est inspiré de la musique de danse médiévale pour la première partie de cette composition. Dans le mouvement lent qui suit, un thème lyrique en mineur s’amplifie pour atteindre un passage en apogée, lui-même suivi d’un motif tranquille où réapparaît le thème lyrique. Enfin, la ligne médiévale revient, cette fois sous la forme d’un gospel festif.Odilia è una veloce e gioiosa ode a Baume-les-Dames, una cittadina francese che ha ispirato la musica medioevale danzante che il compositore propone nell’introduzione del brano. Il movimento che segue è caratterizzato da un modo minore lirico che si sviluppa in una drammatica apoteosi, seguita da un passaggio calmo che riprende il tema lirico. Il motivo medioevale è nuovamente proposto, questa volta in una festosa versione gospel.
