for Oboe and Concert Band. Par SPARKE PHILIP. White Light (Lumière Blanche) est une pièce lumineuse et harmonieusement légère, ponctuellement colorée par l’orchestre, mettant en valeur la pureté des flûtes traversières et des clarinettes en utilisant des accords majeurs et mineurs simples.

Commissioned by the award-winning Kalamazoo (MI) Concert Band Alleluia is a convergence of hauntingly emotive themes that culminate in breath-taking builds. The Kalamazoo Gazette described it as the “pinnacle of theconcert” in which it was premiered adding that Hazo's master composition takes the listener from “...bells and chimes to full Hosannas. The result was transfiguring! It first fades like a sunset then explodes inwhite light bringing the audience to their feet.” Written for mature ensembles this work will have a powerful impact on the performers as well as all who hear it. Dur: 7:55

Band directors work hard to build balanced ensembles but it's often a challenge to keep the trombone section strong. Trombone players carry one of the larger instruments back and forth to school and they don't get to play the“tune” as often as they would like. Help keep them committed to the group by spotlighting the trombone section at your next concert with this enjoyable feature. Dur: 1:50

Light Overture - A Symphonic Entertainment was composed by Poul Ruders in 2006. Commissioned by the Alabama Symphony Orchestra and Music Director and Principal Conductor Justin Brown for Alabama Power Company’s 100 Year Anniversary Concert. Light Overture subtitled A Symphonic Entertainment is a short piece for symphony orchestra lasting approximately eight minutes. Light Overture is focusing on two interpretations of the word light: ”light” as in the absence of darkness and “light” as in easily comprehensible; in other words a piece with few or no metaphysicalconnotations. It is just a piece setting a festive mood as is often the case with this sort of short “concert opener”. However the journey through Light Overture is not entirely happy-go-lucky. Once in a while slightly darker colours are introduced for the sake of variety and contrast. And formally the composition is quite strict: an outright Prelude and Fugue the former sliding seamlessly into the latter. The Fugue juggles not only its own tune but also picks up stuff from the Prelude. Poul Ruders May 2006

Par SPARKE PHILIP. Out of the Darkness, Into the Light is about optimism. All of us experience disappointments in our lives, such failed relationships or the loss of loved ones, but the indomitability of the human spirit allows us to overcome such set backs and get through the darker moments. For some, faith and religion may be the answer, but this piece is more about the internal strength that we can all call upon. Opening in sombre mood, the first phase of the work symbolises the doubts we all have about ourselves and our lives. The opening phrase on solo clarinet appears throughout the piece and could be seen as the central idea of the work, the human spirit itself. The faster, centralsection is about the struggle to overcome the pain we experience and at bar 88 the moment of catharsis occurs. This signals a change of mood and from then on, the clarinet motif is transformed into a feeling of joy and optimism. We have entered the light. / Niveau : 5 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Concert March. Par SAKAI TAKAMASA. Takamasa Sakai s’est laissé inspiré à la fois par la lumière comme source de joie et de bien-être, et par une déclinaison de scènes de lumière : les reflets de la lumière sur l’eau, les jeux de lumière d’un feu d’artifice, la lumière du soleil qui filtre à travers les arbres et les illuminations des parcs à thèmes. The Banquet of Light s’ouvre dans une atmosphère éclatante. Les trombones et les trompettes exposent une ligne puissante, reprise par les bois sous la forme d’une variation. La mélodie du trio développe un motif répété, basé sur les notes Mi, La, Si et Ré avant de se fondre dans la fanfare initiale qui clôt l’oeuvre dans un brillant élan de lumière. / Niveau : 4 / Date parution : 1905-06-28/ Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Par SAKAI ITARU. 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. / Niveau : 4 / Marche de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Ray of light was composed for the 75th anniversary of the Royal Wind Band (De Heidegalm Berkenbos). The mining environment of Berkenbos (Heusden-Zolder, B) is a proof of what used to be one of the most flourishing industries inLimburg viz. the Mining Industry. Going down the shaft in the elevator for the first time was a sensational experience for every miner: the noise of the closing doors, the shock experienced when the lift cage started moving tofall down whizzingly into the deep at a speed of 30 km an hour. The opening theme of Ray of Light doesn?t only reflect the bravery of the descending miners but also their anxiety, their doubt and insecurity. In the solo passage,the anxiety during the long walk in the dark through the mine corridors with only headlamps and mine lamps is clearly audible. Working in the mines wasn?t without any danger. The very flammable and at times explosive mine gasesalways posed a hidden threat. Apart from that there was always the continuous danger of collapse. The beautiful choral movements are therefore an ode to the miners that left their lives in the mine. The eastern scale refers tothe multicultural character of the mining environment of Berkenbos with its many commercial shops and different types of housing inherent in mining architecture. The mining profession is still a very dangerous job, but at the endof the dark corridor the miners still see a beam of light as a sign of hope.
