Pour Quintette de Vents. Par TOMASI HENRI. French composer and conductor, Henri Tomasi (1901-1971) published Five Secular and Sacred Dances for Wind Quintet in 1963. As with his other wind compositions, Five Secular and Sacred Dances 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 into 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, in 1921, he began his studies at the Paris Conservatoire and wenton 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 in to his compositions. Five Secular and Sacred Dances is a reduction arrangement of his work of the same name for Chamber Orchestra. Comprising five movements; 1) Rural Dance, 2) Secular Dance, 3) Sacred Dances, 4) Bridal Dance, and 5) Warrior Dances, Five Secular and Sacred Dances is one of three Wind Quintets by the composer. This Tomasi piece is suitable to an advanced Wind Quintet, providing an exciting alternative addition to the ensemble repertoire./ Répertoire / Quintette à vent

Score-Paul Creston's Liberty Song '76 for Band.Liberty Song '76 is based on three principle songs of the Revolutionary period: 'The Liberty Song ' the first American patriotic ballad written by John Dickinson to the tune of 'Hearts of Oak'by William Boyce; 'Enraptured I gaze' by Francis Hopkinson the earliest American composer of secular music and a signer of the Declaration of Independance; and theubiquitous 'Yankee Doodle ' the only true tune which Ulysses S. Grant could identify ('I only know two tunes' Grant said 'one is Yankee Doodle and the other isn't').The eleven-measure introduction presents the threethemes in fragmentary suggestion and affirms the emotional basis of the piece. Each tune is first presented in its original form and then harmonised and developed in 1976 style. 'Yankee Doodle' is in the unorthodox fugal style and the concluding measures of the fugue combines all three tunes is a quasi-stretto.Liberty Song '76 was commissioned by Ithaca College for the Walter Beeler Series memorialising his many contributions tothe Band World. The first performance of the work was by the Ithaca College Band conducted by the composer on February 9 1976.
