Movie themes have their own special appeal. Their role is to convey and amplify the atmosphere and emotions of moving pictures. In many cases they take on a life of their own and it is such titles as these, classics in their own right, which we selected for this book.With a lot of effort and patience in both arranging this broad musical palette and recording the play-along CD, Alfred Music Publishing have been able to create play-alongs that are live studio recordings. Through this we can make a broad spectrum of styles accessible to the player, be it a classical orchestra, a jazz orchestra, a jazz combo, a rock and pop band or any of the possible line-ups in between.We are especially proud to have top-class musicians of the contemporary European music scene on our recordings. Their unique interpretations make it a worthwhile experience to just listen to the tracks, let alone having yourself accompanied by top notch musicians. The chord symbols are meant for accompaniment by a teacher or duet partner so that the themes can be played independently from the CD. This is why the symbols are shown in concert pitch, even in the editions for transposed instruments (i.e. clarinet, alto and tenor saxophone). The chord symbols also make it possible to perform tunes from 'Cinema Classics' live with a duet partner or band. / Saxophone Tenor

Arr. Wil Van Der Beek. À travers les siècles et de nos jours encore, Noël a été un thème d?inspiration privilégié pour les compositeurs. A Classical Christmas (?Noël classique?) rassemble des oeuvres de trois grands compositeurs français du XIXe siècle. Le premier mouvement nous fait découvrir César Franck (1822-1890), grand organiste et brillant compositeur, qui a donné une réelle valeur artistique à certains chants de Noël français traditionnels. Ce mouvement apaisé, au charme captivant, offre de nombreuses possibilités en termes de nuances et d?expression. La percussion intervient mais ne tient qu?un rôle modeste. Le thème de l?oratorio L?Enfance du Christ d?Hector Berlioz(1803-1869) est au centre du deuxième mouvement. Le thème est conçu comme une ode à la sainte Famille. Ce deuxième mouvement, expressif et tendre, possède un caractère intimiste. Le thème du troisième et dernier mouvement est extrait de l?Oratorio de Noël de Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921). Il s?agit d?une page bien connue, le célèbre choeur final Tollite Hostias. La puissance et l?intensité donnent à ce finale le ton festif qui caractérise Noël. / Niveau : 2 / Musique populaire / Recueil / Concert Band ou Harmonie ou Fanfare
