American Prelude was commissioned by the United States Marine Band “The President's Own†and was composed in honor of the retirement of Colonel Jason K. Fettig, the 28th Director of the USMB. This short and energetic work features subtle hints to two of my favorite American composers, Aaron Copland and John Williams. The performance at Colonel Fettig's final concert with the Marine Band was the world premiere, given at the annual Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic in Chicago, Illinois on December 20st, 2023.

Prelude to a Celebration is a fantastic way to open any concert in the tradition of great symphonic openers. The work starts with a triumphant yet majestic fanfare from the trumpet section, which gives the basis for the whole work. A rollicking and driving faster section follows for the woodwinds, which leads into a broader trio before the opening fanfare returns to bring the work to a majestic conclusion. Whatever the occasion (or celebration), Prelude to a Celebration is one piece that is sure to have your audience on the edge of their seat and start your performance off in the finest of styles. Duration: 5:10.

PRELUDE AND TOCCATA FOR PIANO by Marc Douyon is based on the Haitian folk tune Linglinsou. The main theme quotes this folk melody, which is then developed with various compositional techniques. Original secondary themes and motives by the composer are an integral part of the colorful musical tapestry as well. The composition opens with a lyrical melody that suggests an atmosphere of complaint, anguish, and despair. But soon, the lyrical main theme, which makes use of hemiola figures, takes the shape of a gracious tribal dance in compound meter. Shortly thereafter, however, the character of the piece changes into an agitated toccata characterized by driving staccato notes, accents, and a close hand position at the piano. The final moments of the piece are heroic-like in nature, but also convey a sense of calm after the storm.

A quiet prelude begins this composition for three flutes and vibes accompanying the melody for alto sax. This melody is the basic building blocks for Prelude-Variations. An Allegro Vivo follows with variations on the original tune. The piece ends with original alto sax melody brought back with a harmonic ostinato in the brass and a captivating percussion pattern. The piece ends with the horns announcing the motive one last time. Be sure to put the horn bells up as they play the trill announcing a terrific climactic ending. An enjoyable challenge for your band!

* The Prelude in E-flat, subtitled “St. Anne†gets its nickname from the similarity of its fugue theme and a hymn tune by William Croft, however, scholars feel there is no realistic connection, as Croft's work was only known in the British Isles.* Originally written for organ in 1736, this great music is the crowning achievement of a large volume of works for that instrument.* Mr. Sauer's 11-minute arrangement of this monumental Bach Prelude is brilliantly worked out to the last detail for an 8-part Trombone choir of advanced performers.

From Book I of Bach's The Well-Tempered Klavier, this lively reworking of the Prelude and Fugue in B-flat minor, No. 22 provides students the wonderful experience of playing Baroque counterpoint in a minor key. Though rhythms are not complex, counting skills will be honed. The piece remains mainly in first position, yet also includes melodic augmented seconds. In the five-part fugue, the double basses have their own independent line, so let them shine.

The Suite for guitar aims to blend tradition and modernity through the use of a language with a neobaroque imprint.The canonical utilization of the fixed dances of the Suite (Allemande, Courante, Sarabande and Gigue preceded by an introductory Prelude) serves as a clear reference to the corresponding Baroque model characterized by alternation between slow and fast movements. The style, on the other hand, appears to be moderately dissonant, yet still focused on a well-defined tonal framework. A personal use of both dissonances and modulations is intended to enhance the auditory experience while maintaining a strong connection to a specific tonal center (E), which serves as a stable reference point in the organization of the musical material.La Suite pour guitare vise à mêler tradition et modernité à travers lâutilisation dâun langage à lâempreinte néobaroque.Lâutilisation canonique des « danses fixes » de la Suite (Allemande, Courante, Sarabande et Gigue précédées dâun Prélude introductif) sert de référence claire au modèle baroque correspondant caractérisé par une alternance entre mouvements lents et rapides.Le style, en revanche, semble modérément dissonant, tout en restant centré sur une structure tonale bien définie. Une utilisation personnelle des dissonances et des modulations vise à améliorer lâexpérience auditive tout en maintenant une forte connexion à un centre tonal spécifique (E), qui sert de point de référence stable dans lâorganisation du matériau musical.

The mysterious Prelude and Fugue in B-flat minor BWV 867 is special in that its fugue has five voices, has a leap of a minor 9th, and concludes with a hyperstretto (remember the theory class you slept through), the overlapping of ALL five voices offset by only one note. This seven minute work of genius beautifully arranged by Jim Tranquilla of the iTromboni ensemble is appropriate for advanced performers.
