For Franco Cesarini who was born in a country where the majestic Alps dominates all horizons mountains are a natural part of life. This majesty is reflected by the words of Alan Hovhaness: ???Mountains are symbolic meeting places of the material and spiritual world.??? In seven successive parts Cesarini has alternated moments of reality and matter with moments of intangible spiritualism.

Cette version pour Orchestre d’Harmonie est signée Toshio Mashima. / Niveau : 4 / Pop and rock / Date parution : 1905-06-30/ Recueil / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Par JOHNSON TIMOTHY. Based on the African-American spiritual “Ev’ry Time I Feel the Spirit”, Feel the Spirit captures the essence of the traditional spiritual. These songs were created by African-Americans oppressed by slavery. A deeply religious people, the slaves would use singing as an expression of both their enthusiastic joy and profound sadness. Feel the Spirit enables you to play a great gospel song with your band / Niveau : 2 / Hymnes et chorals / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Par CURNOW JAMES. At times intimate and reflective, at times boisterous and unrelenting, this uplifting new work by James Curnow was inspired by the biblical story of Job and his “never give up” attitude. The old spiritual Balm in Gilead is incorporated as the piece takes us through tribulation and solace, turmoil and relief. The full spectrum of orchestration from rich, dark Brasses to flashing Woodwinds, and some small solo recitatives create contrast in density as well as mood. There is a great deal to appreciate in the scoring and construction of this piece as you prepare for performance. / Niveau : 3 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Par CURNOW JAMES. This work was commissioned in memory of Peter J. Swanson, a trumpet and cornet player who tragically died at the tender age of fourteen. Peter’s favorite gospel song, Just a Closer Walk with Thee, has been used as the basis for this piece of contrasts which takes the listener through many styles and moods. The spiritual character of the original song resounds gloriously in When Time Will Be No More. / Niveau : 3 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie
