Arranged for SATB choir, two keyboards, strings, and optional harp, with soprano, tenor (optional) and baritone soloists, this fresh and unorthodox interpretation reflects on the words of the Latin Mass by juxtaposing them with poems in English. For soprano solo and SATB choir, this movement begins with the choir on the English text by Phineas Fletcher (1633). A 32-measure soprano solo follows, which covers the majority of the English text. The soloist then begins the ââ¬ÅRecordare,ââ¬Â a calm, descending melodic line with the choir singing the opening ââ¬ÅDrop, dropââ¬Â motif as accompaniment. The choir then concludes with the slow, descending lines ââ¬ÅJesu pie, Jesu pie.ââ¬Â Duration 4:04.

In this impressive piece, the title âWind Powerâ can refer either to the various machines that are driven by the wind, or the soaring sound of a wind band. In a cinematic style, this work opens powerfully with a series of tone clusters followed by a constantly moving series of notes depicting the ebb and flow of the wind. Then we are soaring high above the ground in a glider with only the sound of the wind keeping us aloft. With dramatic shifts in dynamics along with pulsing rhythms, this piece is a fun challenge for all members of the ensemble. Dur: ca. 5:00.

A Little Klezmer Suite was commissioned by Rushton Park High School to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their band programme. They gave the premiere in a virtual online concert in October 2020. Klezmer music originated inthe ââ¬Ështetlââ¬â¢ (villages) and the ghettos of Eastern Europe, where itinerant Jewish troubadours, known as ââ¬Ëklezmorimââ¬â¢, had performed at celebrations, particularly weddings, since the early Middle Ages. 'Klezmer' is a Yiddish termcombining the Hebrew words ââ¬Ëkleyââ¬â¢ (instrument) and ââ¬Ëzemerââ¬â¢ (song). The roots of the style are found in secular melodies, popular dances, Jewish ââ¬Ëhazanutââ¬â¢ (cantorial music) and also the ââ¬Ënigunimââ¬â¢, the wordless melodies intoned bythe ââ¬ËHasidimââ¬â¢ (orthodox Jews). The melodies used in the four movements of A Little Klezmer Suite have traditionally been used in Jewish wedding ceremonies and celebrations.A Little Klezmer Suite werd geschreven in opdracht van de Rushton Park High School ter gelegenheid van het vijftigjarig bestaan van het blaasorkest van de school. De première vond in oktober 2020 plaats tijdens een virtueelonlineconcert. Klezmermuziek is ontstaan in de 'sjtetls' (dorpen) en gettoââ¬â¢s van Oost-Europa, waar rondreizende Joodse troubadours, de zogeheten klezmorim, sinds de vroege middeleeuwen optraden bij feesten, met name bruiloften.Klezmer is een Jiddische term waarin de Hebreeuwse woorden 'kley' (instrument) en 'zemer' (lied) zijn gecombineerd. De oorsprong van de stijl is te vinden in wereldlijke melodieën, populaire dansen, de chazanoet muziek uit desynagoge met een voorzanger en de nigunim, de tekstloze melodieën die worden gezongen door de orthodoxe chassidische joden. De melodieën die in de vier delen van A Little Klezmer Suite zijn gebruikt, werden vanoorsprong ten gehore gebracht op Joodse bruiloftsplechtigheden en huwelijksfeesten.A Little Klezmer Suite wurde von der Rushton Park High School in Auftrag gegeben, um den 50. Geburtstag ihres Blasorchesters zu feiern. Die Uraufführung fand im Rahmen eines virtuellen Online-Konzerts im Oktober 2020 statt.Die Klezmer-Musik entstand in den sogenannten Schtetlââ¬Å (Dörfern) und in den osteuropäischen Ghettos, in denen fahrende jüdische Troubadoure, bekannt als Klezmorimââ¬Å, seit dem frühen Mittelalter bei Festen, insbesondere beiHochzeiten, aufgetreten sind. Klezmerââ¬Å ist ein jiddischer Begriff, der die hebräischen Wörter kleyââ¬Å (Instrument) und zemerââ¬Å (Lied) miteinander kombiniert. Der Ursprung des Stils liegt in weltlichen Melodien, Volkstänzen,jüdischer Hazanutââ¬Å (Kantorenmusik) und in den Nigunimââ¬Å Melodien ohne Text, die von den Chassidim (orthodoxen Juden) intoniert wurden. Die Melodien, die in den vier Sätzen von A Little Klezmer Suite vorkommen, wurdentraditionell bei jüdischen Hochzeitszeremonien und Feiern gespielt.A Little Klezmer Suite est une commande de Rushton Park High School, en Angleterre, pour marquer le cinquantième anniversaire du programme de son harmonie. La pièce a été créée lors dââ¬â¢un concert virtuel en ligne en octobre2020. La musique klezmer est née dans les ââ¬Ështetlââ¬â¢ (villages) et les ghettos dââ¬â¢Europe de lââ¬â¢Est, où les troubadours juifs itinérants, connus sous le nom de ââ¬Ëklezmorimââ¬â¢, se produisaient lors de célébrations, en particulier lesmariages, depuis le début du Moyen ge. ë Klezmer û est un terme yiddish qui combine les mots hébreux ââ¬Ëkleyââ¬â¢ (instrument) et ââ¬Ëzemerââ¬â¢ (chanson). Les racines de ce style se trouvent dans les mélodies profanes, les danses populaires,le ââ¬Ëhazanutââ¬â¢ juif (musique liturgique) ainsi que les ââ¬Ënigunimââ¬â¢, mélodies sans paroles entonnées par les ââ¬ËHasidimââ¬â¢ (Juifs orthodoxes). Les mélodies traditionnelles employées dans les quatre mouvements de A Little KlezmerSuite ont toujours été populaires lors des cérémonies de mariage et autres fêtes juives.

This is one very cool and tasty ballad. After a short 4 bar piano intro, the melody is played by a quartet made up of your strongest players - trumpet, alto, tenor and trombone. The whole Band joins in for some great ensemble work (trumpets never leave the staff) which leads into an easy but very hip piano solo. Then more great ensemble, and finally the piano is again featured at the end. The piano part is completely written out, and the right hand has a single note line throughout.
