Par ABRAHAMSEN HANS. Vers le silence was written during the COVID-19 lockdown and is a new milestone among Hans Abrahamsen’s orchestral works. For the first time since Nacht und Trompeten from 1981, Abrahamsen has composed a brand new purely orchestral work, not a concerto for one or more soloists, nor an orchestral work based on previous works. / Date parution : 2023-07-31/ Répertoire / Orchestre

Par MENA MARIA. Here?s an easy arrangement of this popular Christmas song composed by Maria Mena and Martin Sjølie. I have tried to spread the melody to several groups throughout the arrangement. The melody has to be played rhythmically, but also with flow and legato style. Please strive for best possible intonation and balance where the melody is played by several players. At bar 13, clarinets and horns plays a little counter theme. Please strive for best possible intonation and balance also on this. The quarter notes played by saxophones, horn and trombones at bar 18 have both a harmonic and rhythmic function. The arrangement ends quite and calm, like a peaceful Christmas day. - Reid Gilje - / Date parution : 2023-07-31/ Répertoire / Concert Band/Harmonie

Kokosmøttøya. Par ROGERS SCOTT. A trip to Coconut Island is always enjoyable! Soft Latin rhythms, a relaxing tempo, and tutti rhythm figures combine to create the perfect vacation. Coconut Island introduces young musicians to Latin rhythms. The percussion parts are built up of short, repeating patterns that are easily learned. The melody is mostly made up of short diatonic patterns and falling intervals of a third, making the piece easily attainable for young players. / Date parution : 2023-07-31/ Répertoire / Concert Band/Harmonie

Par JEANBOURQUIN MARC. Sinfonetta No. 1 a remporté le premier prix au Concours de composition pour la 1re catégorie, organisé par l?Association Suisse de Brass Band, en 2023. Les différents thèmes mélodiques et motifs rythmiques se succèdent tout au long de l??uvre. Ils se combinent aux nombreux effets dynamiques pour apporter une certaine unité, du début à la fin de cette pièce de concours. Les difficultés techniques et mélodiques permettent ainsi aux différents solistes, de montrer toute leur virtuosité et leur musicalité, tout au long de 5 parties ininterrompues. Après une première partie lente et ?misterioso?, le premier contraste avec une séquence ?energico? basée sur un ostinato crée une progression et une tension, pour amener l?ensemble vers la troisième partie ?mesto? (triste), puis ?lento?, où s?égrènent quelques cadences et de nombreuses dissonances. La transition ?energico? annonce la 5e partie: ?con fuoco? ternaire et rapide. Cette dernière partie conduira l?auditoire vers un final en apothéose. / Date parution : 2023-10-31/ Répertoire / Brass Band

baroque, classique et romantique. Par KOPP KAI. Ce manuel propose un panorama général de l?art du jeu en ensemble aux périodes baroque, classique et romantique. Les sujets relatifs aux effectifs, à la constitution des ensembles et à leur direction sont abordés, mais c?est surtout la question de la pratique des musiciens qui est ici centrale : comment un musicien d?orchestre, entre le xviie et le xixe siècle, comprend-il les indications portées sur sa partie, et comment les exécute-t-il  ' De ce point de vue, ce livre peut se lire comme un cours fondamental sur la pratique d?exécution historique. Quinze études de cas, sur des partitions issues des trois périodes, permettent en outre d?appréhender les informations théoriques données à la lumière du répertoire de l?époque. Ce manuel pratique s?adresse à tous ceux qui sont concernés par l?inter­prétation d??uvres orchestrales : étudiants, musiciens professionnels, chefs d?orchestre, mais aussi musicologues ou éditeurs, ainsi qu?aux profanes qui s?intéressent à ces sujets. / Date parution : 2024-01-10/ Livre / Orchestre

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.

Ballad from Fantasy Pieces for Piano Op. 36. Par BACKER-GRONDAHL AGATHE. Agathe Backer Grøndahl’s ‘Ballade’ can best be described as a Romantic character piece. Such one-movement piano pieces with titles that loosely indicate a mood/idea made out a central genre in the 19th century. In Backer Grøndahl’s production, several of these are grouped under the term ‘fantasy pieces’. There are six collections with a total of 48 fantasy pieces on her opus list and ‘Ballade’ is from the first of these (Op. 36), published in 1895. ‘Ballade’ is a broader work than the other fantasy pieces. It is built around a dramatic theme that keeps returning after episodes with strongly contrasting thematic material. The arrangement is close to Backer Grøndahl’s original composition. It is transposed a semitone down: from E flat minor to D minor. The arrangement contains some challenging passages and is well-suited for amateur bands of a certain level. The instrumentation makes no special demands beyond normal concert band instrumentation and will sound just as good in small as in large bands. / Date parution : 2023-07-31/ Répertoire / Concert Band/Harmonie

Par ABREU ZEQUINHA / KAZIK JAMES (Arr.). The Brazilian classic was popular in the United States during the 1940s with artists such as Ethel Smith, the Andrews Sisters and Carmen Miranda. More recently, it was performed at the closing ceremonies of the 2016 Olympics in Brazil. James Kazik's masteful arrangement for string orchestra (with optional piano and percussion) captures all the fun and energy of the original in a format that will be easily performable by your students and the audience dancing in the aisles! / Date parution : 2023-07-31/ Répertoire / Orchestre à Cordes
