Par PART ARVO. This piece is Pärt's tribute to Benjamin Britten who died in 1976. Arvo Pärt: In the past years we have had many losses in the world of music to mourn. Why did the date of Benjamin Britten's death - 4 December 1976 - touch such a chord in me? During this time I was obviously at the point where I could recognize the magnitude of such a loss. Inexplicable feelings of guilt, more than that even, arose in me. I had just discovered Britten for myself. Just before his death I began to appreciate the unusual purity of his music - I had had the impression of the same kind of purity in the ballads of Guillaume de Machaut. And besides, for a long time I had wanted to meet Britten personally - and now it would not come to that. 'The last chord of Cantus is seemingly never-ending. It just stands there, neither growing nor decaying. Something has been achieved and it shouldn't be given up. The content of the whole work leads up to this point.' Nora Pärt/ Répertoire / Orchestre à Cordes et Cloche

Par MIRANDA LIN-MANUEL. It was really fun to make an arrangement on these three great melodies from Encanto! Here, the band will be able to work with latin rhythms, syncopation (which doesn't rush) and with possible solo elements on the melody. Use your imagination and feel free to re-arrange to let your musicians shine. (Example: bar 27 and onwards can be performed as a duet) All three songs can be played separately. They have different degrees of difficulty and if the band lack the ability to perform the last melody, you can easily stop before that. 1. 'We don't talk about Bruno' (1-55) benefits greatly from having a Guiro saying 'go-ap tsh tsh'. This piece can be stopped by playing to the end of bar 54. If you want to play this piece only, you can easily extend it, by repeating from 27, perhaps with other soloists? 2. 'Surface Pressure' (55-116) If the cowbell-part is not played, percussionists have to play these two weak beats in 56. The groove for drum set is also very important from 68. Also, that you get a proper swing feeling on 84- 98 and that the drummer in 99 really goes back to even eighths. If you want to extend this piece, you may repeat from 84. If you want to end after this song, you can insert a ritardando 2 bars before 116 and preferably add a quarter note high G, then a quarter rest, and then a darker G. Another possibility is to repeat from 84 and then stop at the first note in 100. 3. 'The Family Madrigal' can of course also be played alone. This is truly a song that gets people clapping! I have chosen to make the opening rhythm a little easier by adding an eighth note to the one (120) If the ensemble has a very good understanding of rhythm, it can be skipped, but then the only tone in the phrase that is on the pulse beats will be the quarter note in the second measure. You can start the piece straight on bar 120 without the drum intro. If you want to extend this piece, you can repeat 152 – 199. (Or you can go all the way back to 136) If you do so, you can perhaps skip the first house at the end, if the audience is not standing on the chairs dancing Have fun performing this arrangement! The Movie Encanto is a 2021 American computer-animated musical fantasy comedy film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios. It follows a multigenerational Colombian family, the Madrigals, led by a matriarch (Botero) whose children and grandchildren—except for Mirabel Madrigal (Beatriz)—receive magical gifts from a miracle that helps them serve the people in their rural community called the Encanto. When Mirabel learns that the family is losing their magic, she sets out to find out what is happening, and save her family and their magical house. Encanto premiered at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles on November 3, 2021 The film received critical acclaim for its characterization, music, animation, voice acting, emotional depth, and cultural fidelity; reviews named magic realism and transgenerational trauma as the film's core concepts. Publications have described Encanto as a cultural phenomenon. The film was nominated for three awards at the 94th Academy Awards, winning Best Animated Feature, and received numerous other accolades. The film's soundtrack also became a success, reaching number one on the US Billboard 200 and UK Compilation Albums charts; 'We Don't Talk About Bruno' and 'Surface Pressure' were its two most successful songs, with the former topping both the US Billboard Hot 100 and UK Singles Chart for multiple weeks.

Par WILLIAMS JOHN / HVEEM DAVID (Arr.). «Cantina Band (or «Mad About Me») was written by John Williams in 1977 for the film Star Wars (later Star Wars IV: A New Hope). Even with quite a bit of the Star Wars music being quite well known, Cantina Band is literally in a style of its own. In the Star Wars-universe this style is called «jizz», Williams’ take on the more well-known genre «jazz». Williams was tasked by Star Wars-creator George Lucas to make music that sounded like «several creatures in a future century finding some 1930's Benny Goodman swing band music ... and how they might attempt to interpret it» and ended up with Cantina Band #1 and #2. Both numbers are played in the legendary scene taking place in Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina where Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi gets in a fight causing even the band to stop playing. The band, which goes by the name Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes, comes from the planet Clak'dor VII and specializes in jizz and the nearby, slightly older style of jatz. Performers of this music often go by the name 'jizz-wailers', and the Bith people from Clak'dor VII are especially well suited for jizz-wailing since they can hold every note as long as they want thanks to a unique respiratory system - something many perhaps would like to be able to do in the performance of this arrangement as well. The arrangement is relatively faithful to Williams' original version, but with a somewhat different ending. Although the woodwind section undoubtedly has the biggest technical challenges, an understanding of the musical style is the very key to making the arrangement sound good - and here all groups must work together. Playing lightly but quite articulated, and very precise, will be an absolute necessity to get the music drifting off all the way to Tatooine. In measure 113 there is a small improvised solo in either trombone or trumpet, but if you want the real authentic Cantina Band-sound this is of course done on a steel drum. / Date parution : 2023-07-31/ Répertoire / Concert Band/Harmonie

Saint Benedict Cantata. Par DE HAAN JACOB. Cantica de Sancto Benedicto ( Cantate de saint Benoît ) est une oeuvre en trois mouvements pour Soprano, Choeur mixte, Orchestre d’Harmonie et Orgue (ad lib. ). Basée sur des textes en latin relatant la vie de saint Benoît, cettecantate est une oeuvre de commande pour la ville de Nursie en Italie, ville natale du moine. Benoît de Nursie ou saint Benoît (vers 480-547) est considéré comme l’initiateur de la vie monastique dans l’Église catholique romaine. Son immenseinfluence est essentiellement liée à la rédaction d’une règle de vie : la Règle monastique de saint Benoît (Regula Benedicti) . Jacob de Haan a choisi de donner le nom des troispersonnes de la Sainte-Trinité aux trois mouvements de l’oeuvre: le Père ( Gloria Patri/ Gloire au Père ), le Fils ( Gloria Filio/ Gloire au Fils ) et le Saint-Esprit ( Gloria Spiritui Sancto/ Gloire au Saint-Esprit ). Le texte de l’hymne Gemma Caelestis (utilisé dans le chant grégorien àl’instar des autres textes) est chanté par le Choeur sur une musique de nature homophonique à laquelle le compositeur a donné un style choral. La séquence Laeta Quies est chantée par la Soprano. La prose de la séquence est répartie sur lestrois mouvements en alternance avec le texte de l’hymne latine. Le finale de l’oeuvre est impressionnant. Il développe des textes du Propre de la Messe en l’honneur de la Saint-Benoît, célébrée le 11 juillet.

Par CANAT DE CHIZY EDITH. Le titre est emprunté à un aiku de Yosa Buson : Si profonde cette belle-de-jour à la couleur d'abîme. Couleur et abîme, ces deux mots résument le propos de cette pièce d'orchestre essentiellement axée sur l'exploration des timbres et l'opposition des tessitures : à l'extrême aigu répond l'extrême grave, les lentes dérives de l'orchestre alternent avec des chutes fulgurantes et brutales. Des scansions circulent tout au long de l'oeuvre, passant des cuivres aux percussions, les souffles des instruments s'inscrivent dans une couleur sombre et mystérieuse.

Par WAESPI OLIVER. Cette pièce contient une série de variations sur la mélodie de « Ami, dans cette vie », un chant français du XVIIIe siècle. A l?instar du fameux poème« Canzona di Bacco » de Lorenzo de? Medici, ce chant invite l?auditeur à jouir de la vie, de l?amitié, de l?amour et du vin tant qu?il est encore temps. Ce texte à caractère épicurien contraste avec une mélodie profondément mélancolique, une contradiction qui se trouve explorée dans la présente ?uvre. Après une première partie plutôt tourmentée, la mélodie d?origine est révélée dans une section intermédiaire tranquille et pensive, qui met en exergue plusieurs solistes. Dans le mouvement final, l?atmosphère se transforme et devient de plus en plus exubérante, telle une incantation de Bacchus. La pièce se termine par une dernière affirmation fulgurante du thème originale. Canzona di Bacco est une commande de l?Harmonie municipale de Vesoul, qui en a assuré la première le 24 Juin 2022 théâtre Edwige Feuillère à Vesoul (France) sous la direction de Mathieu Anguenot. / Date parution : 2022-07-30/ Répertoire / Concert Band/Harmonie

As a complete work of c.80 minutes' duration, it offers choirs a full programme for their Christmas concert. Alternatively, most movements can be performed as individual items - the unaccompanied motets are particularly suited to this and are available separately as digital downloads.  / Répertoire / Orgue, Trompette et Voix Mixte

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 / Concert Band ou Harmonie ou Fanfare
