Par BENJAMIN GEORGE. . . .Benjamin revealed an incredible sense of timbre and a precise technique of instrumentation which is unrivalled among his fellow composers. His precedence in both spheres was highlighted most vividly in At First Light. . .a masterpiece, which literally throws the whole concept of new music into complete confusion. . .

The renowned composer of Paper Cut and Tight Squeeze has created a love child from these two popular works. The result is Lights Out an audience-wowing excursion into a new realm of opto-electro-acoustic wind band repertoire that incorporates visual and physical elements into an exhilarating piece. The music itself is stunning but for the full effect you'll want to devise a performance that plunges the audience into darkness and suddenly surrounds them with glowing colors of LEDs and glowsticks. A very physical approach to connecting band music to life - and to light! Dur: 4:30 To perform the piece you'll need an audio system capable of playing the prerecorded audio tracks from

Messengers of Light (?Les messagers de lumière?) est une œuvre de commande pour l?Orchestre d?Harmonie Swarovski de Wattens en Autriche (Tyrol). Le nom de Swarovski est célèbre dans le monde entier pour ses cristaux au design unique. Cette matière si pure et si étincelante n?est à l?origine que sable eau et feu. Mais lorsque l?alchimie entre ces trois composantes est parfaite la pierre révèle la poésie de la précision à travers un facettage une forme de taille et des couleurs spectaculaires. Ce n?est donc pas une coïncidence si l?empire Swarovski a puisé dans la mythologie grecque pour associer ses cristaux de lumière aux trois Grâces - Aglaé Euphrosyne et Thalie -symboles de splendeur de joie et d?abondance. Du mythe à la musique il n?y avait qu?un pas à franchir. La légende a fait des Grâces les filles de Zeus et de l'Océanide Eurynomé. Elles personnifient la beauté épanouie l?harmonie et le charme. Inséparables elles sont au nombre de trois nombre divin que l?on associe à la Trinité ou encore aux anges Gabriel Raphaël et Michel présents dans la religion chrétienne et dans l?islam et symbolisés musicalement dans le développement de cette œuvre par le chant médiéval Es sangen drei Engel (?Trois anges chantaient?). La ligne mélodique du chant sert de fil conducteur. Elle jalonne et unifie la structure de l?œuvre.

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
