MARS (135X180) inches. English-German-French-Dutch.
In 1950, Pope Pius XII selected Marche Pontificale from the OrganSymphony No. 1, by French composer Charles Gounod, as the officialhymn of the Vatican. The first rendition of the official hymn took placein the same year, in Saint Peter?s Square in Rome, played by sevenmilitary bands. To celebrate the 80th birthday of Pope Benedict XVI in2007, Wil van der Beek has produced a first-class arrangement of thisfamous work for concert band. Ter gelegenheid van het heilig jaar 1950 bepaalde de toenmalige paus Pius XII dat de Marche Pontificale van de Franse componist Charles Gounod (1818-1893) de officiële hymne van Vaticaanstad zou worden, als opvolger van eenhymne uit 1857 van Vittorino Hallmayr.De nieuwe naam van de mars werd â??Paushymneâ??. De godvruchtige Gounod had het werk in 1869 geschreven voor een jubileum van paus Pius IX. In dat jaar vond de première plaats op het Sint-Pieterpleinin Rome, gespeeld door zeven militaire orkesten. Het was een enorm succes - en ook nu nog is deze muziek zeer geliefd.Wil van der Beek stond garant voor het uitstekende arrangement van dit bekende werk.Marche Pontificale stammt aus der Orgelsymphonie Nr. 1, die Charles François Gounod 1835 zur Ernennung von Papst Pius IX schrieb und die seit 1950 als offizielle Vatikanhymne gilt. Nun liegt sie, pünktlich zum Jubiläumsjahr 2007, in dem unserâ?? Papst Benedikt XVI seinen 80. Geburtstag feierte, in einer neuen Bearbeitung für Blasorchester aus der Feder des erfahrenen Arrangeurs Wil van der Beek vor. En 1950, l'occasion de l'Année Sainte, le Pape Pie XII décida que la Marche pontificale du compositeur français Charles Gounod (1818-1893) deviendrait l'hymne officiel de l'Ã?tat de la Cité du Vatican.

Marche fatale is an incautiously daring escapade that may annoy the fans of my compositions more than my earlier works, many of which have prevailed only after scandals at their world premieres. My Marche fatale has, though, little stylistically to do with my previous compositional path; it presents itself without restraint, if not as a regression, then still as a recourse to those empty phrases to which modern civilization still clings in its daily utility music, whereas music in the 20th and 21st centuries has long since advanced to new, unfamiliar soundscapes and expressive possibilities. The key term is banality. As creators we despise it, we try to avoid it - though we are not safe from the cheap banal even within new aesthetic achievements.Many composers have incidentally accepted the banal. Mozart wrote Ein musikalischer Spass [A Musical Jape], a deliberately amateurishly miscarried sextet. Beethoven's Bagatellen op. 119 were rejected by the publisher on the grounds that few will believe that this minor work is by the famous Beethoven. Mauricio Kagel wrote, tongue in cheek, so to speak, Marsche, um den Sieg zu verfehlen [Marches for being Unvictorious], Ligeti wrote Hungarian Rock; in his Circus Polka Stravinsky quoted and distorted the famous, all too popular Schubert military march, composed at the time for piano duet. I myself do not know, though, whether I ought to rank my Marche fatale alongside these examples: I accept the humor in daily life, the more so as this daily life for some of us is not otherwise to be borne. In music, I mistrust it, considering myself all the closer to the profounder idea of cheerfulness having little to do with humor. However: Isn't a march with its compelling claim to a collectively martial or festive mood absurd, a priori? Is it even music at all? Can one march and at the same time listen? Eventually, I resolved to take the absurd seriously - perhaps bitterly seriously - as a debunking emblem of our civilization that is standing on the brink. The way - seemingly unstoppable - into the black hole of all debilitating demons: that can become serene. My old request of myself and my music-creating surroundings is to write a non-music, whence the familiar concept of music is repeatedly re-defined anew and differently, so that derailed here - perhaps? - in a treacherous way, the concert hall becomes the place of mind-opening adventures instead of a refuge in illusory security. How could that happen? The rest is - thinking.(Helmut Lachenmann, 2017)CD (Version for Piano):Nicolas Hodges CD Wergo WER 7393 2 Bibliography:Ich bin nicht ,,pietistisch verformt.

In 1845 Franz Liszt embarked on a project to compose an Italian opera based on Lord Byron’s tragedy, Sardanapalus (1821). It was central to his ambition to attain status as a major European composer, with premieres variously planned for Milan, Vienna, Paris and London. But he abandoned it half way through, and the music he completed has lain silently for 170 years. Liszt’s difficulty in obtaining a libretto meant that composition only began in April 1850. He completed virtually all the music for Act 1 in an annotated piano-vocal score of 111 pages, contained within his N4 music ‘sketch book’. The unnamed librettist was an Italian poet and political prisoner, seemingly living under house arrest, and a close acquaintance of Cristina Belgiojoso. His libretto survives as underlay in the N4 sketchbook and has been critically reconstructed and translated. Sardanapalo is Liszt’s only mature opera. While he consistently referred to it in French, as Sardanapale, the published title of the Italian opera would almost certainly have used the Italian name, hence this forms the title of the first edition. There are three solo roles and a chorus of concubines. The manuscript was previously thought to be fragmentary and partially illegible, but it was finally deciphered to international acclaim in March 2017. Liszt’s score offers a richly melodic style, with elements from Bellini and Verdi alongside glimmers of Wagner and the symphonic poems ahead: a unique mixture of Italianate pastiche and mid-century harmonic innovation. It remains quintessentially Lisztian. The opera sets Byron’s tragedy about war and peace in ancient Assyria: the last King, effeminate in his tastes, is drawn to wine, concubines and feasts more than politics and war: his subjects find him dishonourable (a ‘man queen’) and military rebels seek to overthrow him, but are pardoned, for the King rejects the ‘deceit of glory’ built on others’ suffering: this leads only to a larger uprising, the Euphrates floods its banks, destroying the castle’s main defensive wall, and defeat is inevitable: the King sends his family away and orders that he be burned alive with his lover, amid scents and spices in a grand inferno. As Byron put it: ‘not a mere pillar formed of cloud and flame, but a light to lessen ages.’ For his part, Liszt told a friend that his finale ‘will even aim to set fire to the entire audience!’ This critical edition includes a detailed study on the genesis of Liszt’s Sardanapalo in English, German, and Hungarian, the libretto in the original Italian as well as in English, German, and Hungarian translation, several facsimile pages of Liszt’s manuscript, and a detailed Critical Report.

Honor Bound: to be obligated and required by one’s own code of conduct to do what is ethically right. This is often referenced in the military but applies equally to our everyday conduct and is how a free society can function. The march is intended to represent the dignity and worth of the individual.Honor Bound is a traditional style military march containing important opportunities for each section, including the percussion introduction and interlude, trumpet fanfare at m. 5, low brass melody in the second strain and woodwind lead at m. 66. The notated dynamics are essential for musical contrast. The tempo can vary depending on the skill of the students and the preference of the conductor. A field drum or multiple snare drums can be added to the percussion solos at the discretion of the director.
