St. Michael. Par BOURGEOIS LOUIS. The French composer Louis Bourgeois lived from c. 1510 to 1560. Bourgeois was cantor in Geneva and, commissioned by John Calvin, he composed melodies for metrical (rhyming) versions of the psalms. After completing about a hundred one-part psalms, he made some four-part arrangements, which were denounced and even resulted in his imprisonment for a day. Later, Bourgeois published a number of psalm collections, and judging from his book Le droict chemin de musique he was also an excellent educator. The melodies Bourgeois composed, are (contrary to Gregorian chants) particularly suitable for community singing. This applies to his hymn tune Saint Michael, which is why this melody hasbeen used for various texts, written for many occasions. John Blanken made this arrangement for a wedding ceremony: an occasion in which faith and trust play a large - if not the largest - role. Hence the title Hymn of Faith. The arrangement contains four verses of the hymn. After a majestic opening the hymn follows twice, the second verse being embellished in the tenor register. After a short interlude verse three follows, played by a quartet. The majestic opening is then repeated as a modulation into the fourth verse, which concludes the work in a brilliant tutti. / Niveau : 3 / Hymnes et chorals / Répertoire / Brass Band

Par VAN DER ROOST JAN. This hymn was commissioned by “Antwerpen 93”. And this city, on the banks of the river Schelde has been nominated “Cultural Capital of Europe” for 1993. The work-group “animatie” took the initiative and commissioned a hymn, which -as the finale to a grand open-air event on 27th March- was premièred by hundreds of musicians from all over Europe. Philippe Langlet (France) was the conductor at this majestic occasion. Musically speaking the piece can no doubt be labeled easy. Indeed it is meant to represent a hymn, playable by all in different instrumental combinations. Consequently a variable instrumentation was chosen and a type of music, which by native is easily accessible anduncomplicated. The conductor is free -in the instrumentation- to score this piece according to his own taste. It is perhaps advisable to use the sharp brass in the forte parts, in order to make the range in the sound of the orchestra as colouful as possible. The percussion parts are not absolutely essential, so that the hymn can also be performed without percussion. / Niveau : 1 / Répertoire / Brass Band

based on 'From Highest Heaven I Come to Tell'. Par HASSLER / GIOVANNI TAEGGIO. The words and lyrics of the Christmas Carol From Highest Heaven I Come To Tell were written by the great Martin Luther (1483-1546) and can be found in The Hymns of Martin Luther. Martin Luther expressed radical views which began the reformation movement. His followers protested at the treatment given to Martin Luther, the event from which the term 'Protestant' was derived. It was first published in Joseph Klug's Gesangsbuch in around 1535. Add a majestic Baroque feel to any concert with this simple yet effective arrangement. / Niveau : 2 / Musique religieuse / Répertoire / Brass Band

Meditation on 'O come, O come, Immanuel'. The Advent hymn we all know today as O Come, O Come, Immanuel was arranged in its modern form by Thomas Helmore and published in Hymnal Noted in 1856. Both the words and melody, however, predate this version by centuries. The words are based on a 9th century antiphon and the tune, Veni Immanuel, is taken from a 15th century processional of French Franciscan nuns, part of the setting for the funeral hymn Libera Me. This arrangement aims to expand on the power and mystery of the original tune and will be most effective if the solo cornet at the start and end of the piece can be placed away from the band, maybe at the back of the auditorium. / Niveau : 2.5 / Musique religieuse / Recueil / Brass Band

All Creatures of our God and King. La mélodie du cantique Lasst uns erfreuen est connue par toutes les communautés chrétiennes. Elle fut publiée pour la première fois dans le recueil Geistliche Kirchengesäng imprimé à Cologne, en 1623. La mélodie est attribuée à un compositeur anonyme. Dans les pays anglophones, cette mélodie est chantée sur le texte All creatures of our God and King (Vous, créatures du Seigneur) inspiré du chant de louange Cantico di fratre sole (Cantique du frère Soleil ou Cantique des créatures) de Saint François d’Assise. Rédigé en 1226, au terme de sa vie, il faudra attendre quatre cents ans pour que le cantique de Saint François d’Assise soit publié. Latraduction anglaise a été réalisée par William Henry Draper (1855-1933) à l’occasion d’un grand rassemblement de jeunes pour la Pentecôte à Leeds. L’hymne fut ensuite intégrée dans la seconde édition du recueil Public School Hymn Book (1919). Cet arrangement de Philip Sparke développe trois strophes contrastantes. Let Us Rejoice! est une oeuvre de concert à part entière, mais peut également servir d’interlude dans le cadre d’une célébration de Pâques ou de Pentecôte. / Niveau : 2.5 / Hymnes et chorals / Recueil / Brass Band

Jesu bleibet meine Freude from Cantata 147. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Bach’s appointment as the Cantor at Leipzig’s Thomaskirche in 1723 required him to produce a new cantata for every Sunday service. Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring is taken from his Cantata No. 147 and is unusually elaborate, treated more like an aria than a chorale. It is perhaps the best-loved cantata movement from Bach’s entire output and is a certain crowd pleaser for your concert programme. / Niveau : 3 / Hymnes et chorals / Répertoire / Brass Band

Par TOMASI HENRI. French composer and conductor, Henri Tomasi (1901-1971) published Variations Gregoriennes Sur Un Salve Regina 1964. As with his other wind compositions, Gregorian Variations for Trumpet and String Orchestra and Organ reduction was well-received by audiences. Tomasi was born in Marseille, but his Father and Mother were originally from La Casinca in Corsica. Despite being pressured in to musical studies by his parents, Tomasi dreamed of becoming a sailor, and during the summer, he stayed with his Grandmother in Corsica where he learnt traditional Corsican songs. However, in1921, he began his studies at the Paris Conservatoire and went on to become a high profile composer and conductor. Tomasi did not forget his Corsican routes, often incorporating themes of the songs he had learnt during the summers with his Grandmother into his compositions. Variations Gregoriennes Sur Un Salve Regina is a highly unusual and modern work based on an old Marian Hymn (a song for the Virgin Mary). The variations exploit tonality, rhythm and structure amongst other aspects. This Tomasi piece is suitable for advanced trumpeters, providing an exciting, alternative addition to the instrument's repertoire./ Répertoire / Trompette et Orgue

L'hymne chrétienne Adeste Fideles [Adeste Fidelis] est également connue sous le nom de Prosa In Nativitáte Dómini ou encore Cantique portugais (parce qu'il fut chanté dans la chapelle de l'ambassade du Portugal à Londres). Depuis la fin du XVIIIe siècle, Adeste Fideles est chanté après la bénédiction de Noël dans de nombreuses églises françaises et anglaises. Le texte invite tous les croyants à se rendre à Bethléem pour adorer le Sauveur nouveau-né.L'origine du cantique reste un mystère. On mentionne divers noms de poètes. D'aucuns soutiennent qu'il s'agit d'un noël ancien inspiré d'une danse autour de la crèche. On pense également que Saint François d'Assise s'en serait servi pour sa crèche vivante. D'autres attribuent son origine à Saint Bonaventure, un prêtre franciscain, contemporain de Saint François, qui en aurait composé le texte original, en latin, au XIIIe siècle. Enfin, certains historiens affirment qu'Adeste Fideles aurait été écrit par un poète anonyme français sous le règne de Louis XIV.Quoiqu'il en soit, il est communément reconnu que les strophes ont été écrites ou découvertes par l'Anglais John Francis Wade (vers 1710-1786) alors qu'il travaillait en tant que chercheur et copiste à Douai en France. La première version imprimée du cantique date des années 1740. Elle fut ensuite intégrée au recueil Cantus Diversipublié en 1751.Catholique laïc, John Francis Wade fuit l'Angleterre en proie à des persécutions religieuses. Vers 1731, il copiait des manuscrits de plain-chant au Collège dominicain de Borhem en Flandre. Plus tard, il s'installa à Douai dans le Nord de la France, forteresse de la foi catholique, où le roi d'Espagne Philippe II avait fondé une université, en 1559. Wade gagnait sa vie ' en copiant et vendant des manuscrits de plain-chant et d'autres oeuvres '. Il fut également professeur de latin et de musique sacrée. La notice nécrologique mentionnait l'excellence de son travail de copiste, qu'il réalisa pour des chapelles locales ou des particuliers. Il mourut à Douai à l'âge de 75 ans.Traduit en plus de 125 langues, Adeste Fideles (Ô peuple fidèle) compte parmi les chants de Noël les plus célèbres au monde. / Quintette De Cuivres / 16 pages / Partition
