The Jubilate Group.

For more than 50 years the organization has sought to promote the use of quality words and music in worship in churches across the world. It has been the driving force behind a number of ground-breaking publications, including Youth Praise, Psalm Praise, Carol Praise, Hymns for Today's Church and Sing Glory. It has also played a key role in the modernization of existing hymn texts, with the desire to make rich hymnody more accessible to the unchurched and the next generation.

Open your concert with this brilliant and joyful work. After a bold introduction, a buoyant melody emerges from the lower voices of the ensemble, surrounded by brief fanfares and punctuations that resonate throughout the piece. A number of opportunities exist to showcase each section of the ensemble, and a contrasting middle section sets up a joyous and exciting return of the opening melody.

Variation s Paris, 1846 was composed specifically for the 25th anniversary of ‘Brass-Aux-Saxesâ⠂¬â„¢ in 2014, coincidentally the 150th anniversary of Adolphe Sax, the inventor of the saxophone. As a result, Philip Sparke created this work to pay homage to Adolphe Sax. The work is a series of variations based on one original theme and gives the ‘fanfare orchestra’ a unique and rare setting you would usually only find in Belgium, the Netherlands and parts of Japan. Consequently, this shows all of the different aspects of the band through both colour and technique.Vari ations Paris, 1846 werd geschreven voor het 25-jarig bestaan van Fanfareorkest Brass-aux-Saxes uit het Belgische Westerlo in 2014, dat toevallig samenviel met het tweehonderdste geboortejaar van Adolphe Sax, de uitvinder van de saxofoon. Componist Philip Sparke schreef dit werk als hommage aan Sax. Het werk bestaat uit een reeks variaties op een originele koraalmelodie. Het is geschreven voor fanfare een ensemble dat in België en Nederland veel voorkomt, en hier en daar ook in Japan en laat alle verschillende aspecten van het orkest horen, zowel in klankkleur als techniek. Variations Paris, 1846 wurde anlässlich des 25-jährigen Jubiläums von Brass-Aux-Saxes im Jahr 2014 komponiert, in dem sich zufälligerweise auch der 200. Geburtstag von Adolphe Sax, dem Erfinder des Saxophons, jährte. Daher schrieb Philip Sparke eine Hommage an Adolphe Sax. Das Werk besteht aus einer Reihe von Variationen über ein Originalthema und bietet der Fanfare einer einzigartigen Besetzung, die man nur in Belgien, den Niederlanden und manchmal in Japan findet die Möglichkeit, die verschiedenen Facetten des Orchesters hinsichtlich seiner Klangfarben und technischen Möglichkeiten darzubieten.Va riations Paris, 1846 fut composé en 2014 l’occasion du 25e anniversaire de Brass-Aux-Saxes, qui co ncidait aussi avec le bicentenaire de la naissance du grand inventeur belge Adolphe Sax. Philip Sparke rend donc hommage Adolphe Sax avec cette Å“uvre basée sur une série de variations sur un thème original. Elle permet l’orchestre de fanfare (un regroupement rare que l’on ne retrouve qu’en Belgique, aux Pays-Bas et quelquefois au Japon) de mettre en valeur les différents aspects de la formation, tels que des couleurs variées et leur technique.

Commi ssioned by the Northern Michigan University Jazz Ensemble, this jubilant tone poem portrays the Great Northern Railway that ran for a century from the Great Lakes to the Pacific Ocean. Beginning quietly in the distance, the chart builds steadily through a series of colorful variations and roars by at full throttle five minutes later. The fast swing train groove drops a beat every four measures (4-4-4-3) from start to finish. This is truly a marvel of modern jazz ensemble writing for proficient groups by one of the nation's most innovative composers. Duration 6:00.

This is a sweeping new original composition in a subto Scottish style from popular composer Alan Lee Silva. Just another one of the pieces that always seem to flow effortlessly from his talented pen. This is an excellent piece for any contest or festival.This Scottish-flavored, uptempo piece in has a lilting, jubilant-feel throughout. Highland Celebration is built around two rhythmic subdivisions: two groups of three eighth notes per measure and three groups of two eighth notes per measure. Have the ensemble distinguish between the two subdivisions by tapping each one separately. Make an exercise of the rhythm in mm. 1–2 in Violin 1 to facilitate playing the different rhythms precisely: (1 2 3 - 4 5 6) and (1 2 - 3 4 - 5 6). Rehearsing four- to eightmeasure sections under tempo will aid in tightening these rhythms and solidifying pitch.The sections to concentrate on are: mm. 17–24 and mm. 33–40 to make sure that Violins I and II and Cello are playing together; mm. 33–40, to focus on the Violin 1 and Violin 2 unisons and couplings; and mm. 57–62, where the quarter-note subdivisions are emphasized. The piece is book-ended with the introduction material which always begins quietly and builds. The ensemble at m. 79 starts with tutti scalar figures and increases in intensity to the final accented measures at m. 83. Written in AABA form with a double bridge at m. 45, the overall feeling is dance-like and festive.
