This splendidly instrumented work successfully combines 20th-century musical language with the antique elements deriving from its theme - for example, in the first movement we immediately find an ancient Greek asymmetrical rhythm. The second movement takes us on an adventurous journey to those astonishing geological wonders, the Meteoras; the third movement presents a picture of the Delphic dancers, in its title the fourth movement indicates the form used in it, which preserves the unity between the thousands-of-years-old building and its contrasting environment, echoing to the music of the bouzouki. In the suite the composer expertly exploits the possibilities of instrumentation offered by the wind orchestra, this extremely effective work can be a rewarding concert piece for any ensemble.

â??Grand Marchâ?? was composed in 1995 for the All Shizuoka Youth Band of Japan. The piece opens with a majestic fanfare. A superb-sounding march, with a commanding character, follows. The talent of this Japanese composer reveals itself in the distinctly lyrical character of the trio section, which contrasts wonderfully with the first lyrical themes of the score.

There are many clues hinting that Mozart himself wrote the wind-band version of his "Entführung&rdq uo; located in Donaueschingen. Our arrangement features a concert close to the Overture which is unquestionably superior to the posthumous endings added by other musicians. Bastiaan Blomhert transposed this coherent close to the orchestral version. After "Don Giovanni” there ist now a second authentic concert close for a Mozart overture.

Composed in 1818 on commission from an unknown individual in Lisbon, Adina was left to languish some years until its premiere in 1826, with a single performance in that city remaining virtually the only one on record until the opera's revival in 1963. The present vocal score is based on the critical edition of the orchestral full score prepared by Fabrizio Della Seta and published by the Fondazione Rossini of Pesaro in collaboration with Casa Ricordi. This Edition reconstructs for the first time the structure of the autograph score, which reflects the collective contributions of at least five different hands: having composed only four entirely new numbers and repurposed another three from Sigismondo, Rossini relied upon collaborators and copyists for the remainder of the music. Della Seta's detailed examination of this fundamental document (housed at the Fondazione Rossini) together with an informed assessment of the secondary sources, including a complete manuscript copy (housed at the British Library in London), various manuscript vocal parts with Rossini's autograph interventions (housed in the Royal Conservatory of Brussels), and the first edition of the vocal score published by Ricordi between 1855 and 1859, additionally reveals how the libretto printed in Lisbon for that single historic performance in 1826 differed substantially from the narrative disposition of the autograph score, with ample cuts and modifications (among those the suppression of the Aria Alì and the addition of a Coro). While neither attributable to Rossini himself nor pertaining to his original conceptual design of the opera, this Coro, the music of which survives in the first vocal score, is included as an Appendix to the edition.

A positive message of cooperation and caring lies at the core of this inspiring piece for treble voices. A bit of unison, a few echo passages, and scattered light harmony make this an ideal choice for choirs new to singing in parts. Lyrics you will be proud to share!

The magical world of King Arthur, Merlin and Mordred is the setting for Avalon. Unexpected opening figures portray the sudden entrance into another world. A choral-like melody represents the procession of ghosts headed by the mighty magician Merlin. Suddenly, ostinato figures and bi-tonal motifs indicate the attempt of Mordred and his horde to disturb the peace and quiet in the otherwise calm Avalon. Following a powerful statement of King Arthur, we hear a glissando referring back to the opening bars, and… we are back in the normal world. The journey through the underworld has come to an end and the dream is over.Die magische Welt König Arturs, Merlins und Mordreds ist die Kulisse, in der Avalon sich abspielt. Befremdliche Eröffnungstakte geleiten plötzlich in eine andere Welt. Eine choralartige Melodie symbolisiert die Prozession der Gäste, allen voran der mächtige Magier Merlin. Das sonst so friedliche Avalon wird schlagartig mit Ostinato-Figuren und bitonalen Motiven des Mordred und seinem Haufen in Aufruhr gebracht. Aber nach einer energischen Rede König Arturs klingen erste Takte in einem glissando an — und wir sind zurück in der realen Welt. Hier ist die Reise ins Totenreich zu Ende und ein Traum vorbei.Avalon< /I> est une pièce dont le décor et les personnages sont empruntés aux légendes arthuriennes. L’œuvre débute par quelques mesures surprenantes qui nous font entrer subitement dans un autre monde. Une mélodie produisant l’effet d’un chœur représente la procession des fantômes et des esprits qui vivent dans l’île magique d’Avalon, avec, leur tête, le puissant magicien Merlin. Soudain, des figures ostinato et des phrases bitonales expriment la tentative d’une horde maléfique conduite par Mordred d’envahir le monde paisible d’Avalon. Après que le Roi Arthur soit intervenu avec force, on entend un glissando qui rappelle les toutes premières mesures, et… noussommes de retour dans le monde réel. Le voyage se termine et un rêve prend fin.

Hungary has a thousand-year-old tradition of reverence for the Virgin Mary. In the course of the centuries the Church has found more and more occasions for the celebration of Mary. The greatest is the celebration of Mary?s assumption into heaven, which coincides with the anniversary of the death of Saint Stephen, on August 15. The texts of these choral works originate from various supplicatory prayers from the office, vocal texts and hymns. The six choral works don?t form a cycle, since the texts are associated with different liturgies. The choruses: Regina caeli ? antiphon for Easter, Sub tuum praesidium ? antiphon, Maria Mater gratiae ? short hymn, Ave Regina caelorum ?antiphon for Lent, Ave maris stella ? Hymn to Mary, Virgo parens Christi benedicta ? responsorium, can be sung singly or in any combination.

Gust av Jenner (1865-1920), a student of Brahms', wrote only three string quartets. The Third String Quartet in F major was completed in 1911 and premiered by the Rebner Quartet. Common to all Jenner's Quartets is his way of infusing the classical model with his own musical language, both on an intellectual plane and from a technical point of view. True to the tradition of the genre, the classical form of the string quartet is retained, without however showing itself to be a constraint in the completion of the cycle. What stands out is the sophistication of detail and the purity of form achieved through integration of the elements of composition and nuances of mood.

This work takes both its name and inspiration from a lighthouse “Sword Cape†that keeps watch near Japan’s naval base. The piece describes how, come rain or shine, the lighthouse bids a safe journey to departing ships, guides them during their travels and eventually welcomes them home again. The music evokes many musical images - grand ships sailing by, white-capped waves, the deep blue of the ocean and the light of ‘sword cape†as it silently guides ships over the mysterious waters.Dieses Werk wurde von einem Leuchtturm mit dem Namen Schwert-Kap“ inspiriert, der in der Nähe des Marinestützpunkts von Japan steht. Es beschreibt, wie die Schiffe bei jedem Wetter von diesem Leuchtturm verabschiedet, auf ihrem Weg geleitet und bei der Rückkehr willkommen geheißen werden. Dabei entstehen verschiedene musikalische Bilder vor dem inneren Auge des Zuhörers: das Vorbeiziehen eines Schiffes, weiße Wellen blauer See oder das Licht des Leuchtturm auf dem stillen Wasser bei Nebel.Light of the Sword è un brano commissionato a Sakai dalla Banda Militare delle Forze marittime di autodifesa giapponesi di stanza nel porto di Yokosuka nella baia di Tokio. L’origine del titolo ha due significati: da una parte si ispira al faro di Tsurugizaki (letteralmente “estremit della spadaâ€), la cui luce serve come punto di riferimento tra la terra ed il mare, e dall’altra alla luce emanata dalla spada che appartiene alla grande tradizione degli ufficiali di marina. Una marcia luminosa!

Contrasts was written for, and dedicated to, trombone soloist Dr. Brett Baker. As the titles indicates, contrasting elements characterize this challenging piece. The slow movement Sounds has a somewhat dark and sombre atmosphere, with complex harmonies and special sound effects. However, the second movement, Caprice, is energetic, entertaining, virtuosic and somewhat whimsical - quite a contrast indeed with the first! Contrasts werd geschreven voor en opgedragen aan trombonesolist dr. Brett Baker. Zoals de titel suggereert, wordt dit uitdagende stuk gekenmerkt door contrasterende elementen. Het langzame deel, ‘Sounds’, heeft een enigszins donkere, sombere sfeer en bevat complexe harmonieën en speciale geluidseffecten. Het tweede deel, ‘Caprice’, is energiek en dynamisch, virtuoos en een tikje grillig. Inderdaad een groot contrast met het eerste deel! Contrasts wurde für den Posaunisten Dr. Brett Baker geschrieben und ihm gewidmet. Wie der Titel schon signalisiert, kennzeichnen gegensätzliche Elemente dieses anspruchsvolle Stück. Der langsame Satz Sounds hat eine etwas dunkle und düstere Stimmung und zeichnet sich durch komplexe Harmonien und spezielle Klangeffekte aus. Der zweite, technisch anspruchsvolle Satz Caprice ist energisch, unterhaltsam, virtuos und etwas launisch. In der Tat ein ziemlicher Kontrast zum ersten Satz.Contrasts est écrit pour et dédié au trombone solo Dr Brett Baker. Comme l’indique le titre, des éléments contrastants caractérisent cette œuvre exigeante. Le mouvement lent, Sounds, a une atmosphère plutôt sombre et contient des harmonies complexes et des effets sonores particuliers. Caprice, le deuxième mouvement aux demandes techniques exigeantes, est énergique, divertissant, virtuose et quelque peu capricieux. Un vrai contraste avec le premier mouvement.
