Yellow is a delightful and energetic selection for concert and festival performance, scored here for the full orchestra. As the third movement from Krisanna's Colors, the piece is inspired by her color choice used to describe a bright, happy and energetic day. The infectious melody is presented throughout the band including a fugue statement. You may consider programming Yellow (Mvt. 3) along with Blue (Mvt. 2) for even greater effect. An excellent choice for your concert/festival program!

Fasci nated by the beauty of Chicago, Franco Cesarini has translated his emotions into music: this is how Symphony No. 3 “Urban Landscapes” Op. 55, was born, a musical portrait of this metropolis overlooking Lake Michigan. The composition is divided into three movements: The Wrigley Building from Dawn to Noon, Blue Silhouette and Cloud Gates, which by sharing the same thematic material arranged in cyclical form, strengthen the overall cohesion of the piece. The first movement, preceded by a short slow introduction in which the main theme is presented in an almost dreamlike form, metaphorically represents the city at dawn. The sudden change of time symbolizes the start of activities with all its noises and sounds: you can hear the bell that announces the closing of the subway doors, the sound of cars speeding by, the siren of a patrol car. If the first movement represents the day, the second introduces a nocturnal environment: a melancholic melody played by the English horn anticipates a more animated tempo depicting melodies coming from jazz clubs. Powerful fanfares that take up the second theme of the first movement introduce the third movement. In this finale, the role of the two themes is reversed compared to the first movement and one takes the place of the other in a kind of games of mirrors. Symphony No. 3 “Urban Landscapes” Op. 55: a sumptuous musical portrait of the “Windy City”.

Gelobet seist du Jesu Christ (We Praise You Jesus Christ) is an old Christmas hymn dating from the 16th century, which can still be found in many hymnbooks today. John Blanken has created a varied and imaginative arrangement on four verses of the hymn. After the introduction, derived from the opening notes, the hymn is first accompanied by an agile harmonisation. Next, we hear the chorale in a four-part setting with a percussion accompaniment. Then follows a short prologue to the third verse and finally its time for fireworks as the arrangement takes a stylistic leap in time with the festive prelude to the fourth and last verse.

Gelobet seist du Jesu Christ ist ein altes Weihnachtslied, das aufs 16. Jahrhundert zurückgeht und heute noch in vielen Liederbüchern zu finden ist. John Blanken bearbeitete vier Strophen dieses Liedes in ganz verschiedenen Weisen: Nach der Einleitung erklingt es zunächst komplett, von einer beweglichen Harmonisierung begleitet, und dann als vierstimmiger Choral mit Schlagzeug. In der dritten Strophe liegt der Cantus firmus im Tenor und wird vom hohen Register umspielt. Der grandiose Schluss führt thematisch wieder zum Beginn des Werkes zurück.

Gelo bet seist du, Jesu Christ è un brano natalizio tedesco del XVI secolo. John Blanken ne ha realizzato un arrangiamento pieno di diversit . Dopo una breve introduzione, la melodia è esposta nella sua integrit . Viene quindi inserita in un corale a quattro voci con percussioni. La terza strofa porta il cantus firmus nel cuore del registro tenore. Il finale è semplicemente maestoso.

After the great success of the Greek Folk Song Suite that has lasted for over twenty years, Franco Cesarini once again ventures intothe long and rich tradition of Greek folk music. In his Greek Folk Song Suite No. 2, the three movements that form the piece are named after the three dances reworked by the composer. The first movement, Samiotissa is a kalamatianos, whose most distinctive feature is the irregular 7/8-time signature. It is a festive dance, today considered the Greek national dance, which has roots dating back to antiquity. The second movement, Kato sto jalo is a zeibekiko, a slow-paced dance performed by only one man at a time which was apparently originated among the warriors of Ancient Anatolia. The third and last movement, Chasaposerviko, is the fast part of the hasapiko dance and is characterized by its more extensive form. A new journey into the Greek folk tradition that will delight both performers and audience.
