Par BARNES JAMES. Risoluto is a music term of Italian derivation, first appearing in the mid 1700s. A great many musical terms such as this are in Italian, because many of the important composers from the Renaissance to the Baroque were from the geographic area known today as Italy and spoke some form of Italian. Consequently, performance markings in their published music, widely disseminated through the rest of Europe, were in the language that they best understood. Music marked in this manner is to be played firmly and decisively with firm resolve and little variance from the marked tempo. It can be seen that while there are several stylistic changes in this piece, the tempo varies not a bit, holding firm at Allegro vivo, quarter note at 120, from first measure to last. / Date parution : 2022-09-20/ Répertoire / Concert Band

Glitter and glamour good-looking people a lot of Bling Bling and fast cars ? images like these will cross our minds when we think of the movie world. However reality proves to be different : as a rule a tremendous amount of work will have been done on the set before a film is ready to be shown on the big screen. A visit to an actual movie set inspired John Emerson Blackstone to write a composition bearing the same name. He had both seen a number of characteristic attributes and heard the typical phrases used in film making and he incorporated them into ?On the Movie Set? . In the first part ?The Clapboard? a ?director?s assistant? is supposed to shout ?Quieton the set?? and ?Action!? as is done before a real scene is shot. Subsequently in order to create the right atmosphere the clacking of a ?Clapboard? should be heard. During a romantic scene we should be transported to another world by means of sweet sounds in the background so romantic music is of course heard in the next part ?Love Scene?. At the end of a long working day ?It?s a wrap? is called on the set to inform everyone that the filming on that day is completed. Now there is only one more thing left to dream of : an Oscar..... Perf. Note: The use of the right props will add to the performance and appreciation of ?On the Movie Set?. A red carpet and a glamorous reception should give your audience the feeling they are attending a real ?opening night?!

Preludio and Andante in Swing for Flugel Horn or Trumpet and Concert Band-Raffaello Sanzio better known simply as Raphael was an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance. His paintings have been admired and imitated for centuries and his architectural works have had a considerable influence. He is seen as one of the finest painters in the history of Western art as well the supreme master of preliminary drawings for his numerous projects. Raphael’s works have always been appreciated and studied and are regarded as jewels of academic art.This composition is inspired by the great painter and his dazzling works but also the composer’s own brother Rafael or Rafa to who this piece is dedicated. With its entertaining Andante inSwing and peaceful Preludio we have a rich picture of a generous understanding and loving person wholly dedicated to music teaching particularly to younger children. Thanks to his many qualities the young pupils enrich their musical faculties and broaden their knowledge.Like a well chosen metaphor Raphael is dedicated to Rafa whose great achievement is in stimulating and educating the young - and not so young - through his remarkable work at the Allegro Centro Musical (Valencia Spain) with the aim of providing them with a solid musical training in order to become good musicians and well-adjusted people.

Par RAE JAMES. James Rae is the man who put fun into woodwind and brass teaching. His many compositions, especially in the jazz and blues idioms, have often featured on examination syllabuses. Recent years have seen his publications of easy flexible ensembles for younger players and now he turns his attention to the wind band. In his new series “The Concert Band Collection”, he has written exciting new pieces for the standard concert band line up. Attention is given to each instrument so that the technical and musical requirements do not exceed UK Grade 2.5. An optional piano part will provide “stuffing” and moral support for the young players who will quickly enjoy James’ catchy and imaginative music. Each volume contains two titles. Each volume features two titles. This one includes the haunting and nostalgic waltz “Secret Fairground” and a dynamic masterpiece called “Blue Strut”. A score of this edition (without the parts) is available with the number UE21793./ Répertoire / Concert Band

Rock music is always a success. And when it is supported verbally as it is done in this composition the party can begin. Bobby is a friendly circus animal that has seen a lot of the world. There is nothing left to wish for and his freedom from worries radiates from this rock march by Andreas Ludwig Schulte.
