Fanfare Band - Grade 3

SKU: BT.GOB-000439-020

Composed by Carl Wittrock. Set (Score & Parts). 71 pages. Gobelin Music Publications #GOB 000439-020. Published by Gobelin Music Publications (BT.GOB-000439-020).

Carl Wittrock's wide interest in global folk-music resulted in this concert-piece based on original African rhythms.
Obviously, the percussion section has a conspicious role to play, but the band too may indulge itself in moments of thoroughly delightful excitement.
The introduction depicts the awakening of nature, and develops into a dance. The (main) motif of this dance is from a dance entitled Apollo and comes from Gambia. Its accompaniment consists of an ostinato pattern by balaphon-master Maudo Susa.
The quiet middle movement is based on the rhythm of the 'gigbo' : a traditional dance from Ghana.
In the final movement -which also bears a slight resemblanceto a theme from 'The Lion King'- the so-called 'Kono' rhythm is used. The work is played most advantageously using djembes.

Challenge and please your percussion section with 'The African Connection'. Carl Wittrock's brede interesse voor de wereldmuziek resulteerde in dit op originele Afrikaanse ritmes gebaseerde concertwerk.
Het slagwerk speelt uiteraard een opvallende rol, maar ook het orkest kan zich op een heerlijke manier uitleven.
De inleiding schildert het ontwaken van de natuur, welke overgaat in een dans. Het motief van deze dans (Apollo) is afkomstig uit Gambia. De begeleiding bestaat uit een ostinaatpatroon van de balafon-meester Maudo Susa.
De basis van het rustige middendeel is gelegen in het ritme van de Gigbo, een traditionele dans uit Ghana.
Het laatste deel (met enige gelijkenis met The Lion King) maakt gebruik van het zogenaamde Kono ritme.
Het werk komt het best tot zijn recht als er gebruik wordt gemaakt van djembes.

Instr umental colors abound in this emotionally moving memorial piece, Solace in the Equinox by Tyler S. Grant. Impressionistic passages float in and out of varied instrumental combinations, creating sonic palettes of pastel colors and swirling shapes. Just as the fall equinox balances darkness and light, the music exhibits a harmonious balance between moments of quiet and delicate textures with contrasting fully scored statements of brightness and joy. (7:00).

Dan Edwards brings us a quiet and restful arrangement, especially suited for the serene moments in a service. Both the treble and lower ringers have an opportunity to perform the tender melody, and the middle section offers a pleasant malleted accompaniment that will need to be well-balanced with the treble bells and optional chimes.

Choral (Studiotrax CD)

SKU: HL.35031818

Composed by Joseph M. Martin. Shawnee Sacred. Easter, General Worship, Lent, Sacred. CD. Duration 290 seconds. Published by Shawnee Press (HL.35031818).

A very interesting poetic perspective is explored in this anthem that considers the silence, shadows and mystery of faith, reminding us that truth is sometimes revealed in moments of quiet contemplation and in times of seeking. The American folk hymn Jesus, My Song in the Night clarifies the Source of our answers, and arching melodic gestures with lush harmonies infuse this piece with a theatrical sweep that really connects.

Chris tmas Musical
This Christmas cantata is a faithful retelling of the Christmas story, the gospel, in song and narration, and a wonderful mixture of the new and the old, the traditional and the freshness of the contemporary. The narrations are deep and insightful, demanding much passion and heartfelt emotion. The choir will enjoy these choral arrangements, including one of Jack Schrader's top-selling pieces, Mary, Did You Know? The work makes a strong impact when done with simply choir, piano, and narration; however, full orchestrations are available. Also, the narrations are perfect to suggest the inclusion of costumed actors creating tableaux of the various scenes, so, the work may be fully staged or as simply presented as necessary. Go Tell It! has moments of quiet worship and reflection, as well as the exuberant times of joy and celebration. The congregation is frequently involved, being asked to sing on four occasions, which leads to a satisfying experience for all who participate. Performance time is approximately 39 minutes.

The Orchestration contains a full Conductor's Score and parts for: Piano/Rhythm, Bass, Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Trumpet I, II & III, Horns I & II, E-Flat Alto Sax, Trombones I, II (III), Tuba, Percussion, Timpani, Harp, Violins, Violas, Cellos, Basses.

This is interspersed with moments of respose that are gradually extended, until the piece concludes with a quiet final section with solo first violin playing high above the other instruments, an ending open to many different interpretations.

Arranged by Carubia. Jazz Ensemble. Smart Chart Music - Jazz Arrangements Series. Score and set of parts. Composed 2011. Duration 2 minutes, 47 seconds. C.L. Barnhouse #SCM-1071-00. Published by C.L. Barnhouse (CL.SCM-1071-00).

This classic Clarence Williams composition was written at the very beginning of the Jazz Age and speaks in the Count Basie language. An 8 measure written piano solo feeds into a quiet full ensemble melody with brass in bucket mutes. (Open in stand will do) Well placed unisons and ensemble writing leads to a 16 bar tenor sax solo (suggested written solo is provided) then builds to a final full ensemble shout chorus a minor third higher. Includes an optional flute part. The unique surprise ending will treat the audience and band to a few happy moments. Hint: (Opt. one bar vocal ending).
