Par SPARKE PHILIP. La plupart des pays ayant institué la tradition des musiques militaires ont développé un style de marche caractéristique. Ainsi, il est relativement aisé de distinguer une marche américaine d’une marche militaire française ou une marche allemande d’une marche espagnole. À l’intérieur du cadre structurel rigide d’une marche, on réussit à percevoir même les plus subtiles différences de rythme, d’harmonie et de tempo qui caractérisent les traditions de chaque pays. Il existe un, ou plus exactement deux styles de marche typiquement anglais : celui des marches militaires représenté par des compositeurs tels que Kenneth J. Alford, et celui des marches cérémonielles ou de concert quiatteindra l’excellence avec les marches orchestrales d’Elgar et Walton, entre autres. Royal Salute (“Salut royal”) est une marche de difficulté moyenne qui perpétue cette grande tradition. On y retrouve des éléments typiques : des mélodies et contremélodies amples, et un trio nobilmente. / Niveau : 3 / Marche de concert / Répertoire / Fanfare

Fiddler on the Roof endures as one of the landmark musicals of all time. Michael Brown's opening production for the field starts with a “flute on the roof ” joined shortly by a solo clarinet. After a quick buildto a climax “Matchmaker” is treated creatively in 4/4 and a driving tempo. With plenty of variety and powerful ensemble scoring this is a perfect way to open a show.

Expanded mallet writing accompanies solos for flute clarinet alto sax and trumpet to start this magnificent work. Stunning sounds and effects!

This well-known song from Grease showcases your woodwind section along with effective full ensemble writing. The change-of-pace ending segment features a dialogue between flute and sax along with a beautifully tender closing moment. Imagine the staging possibilities!
