Par SPARKE PHILIP. Songs and Dances est une œuvre festive et énergique qui met l’accent sur une musique rythmée et dansante. Ses trois mouvements ininterrompus suivent la forme rapide-lent-rapide. Des thèmes fortement syncopés, des chorals fluides et de belles mélodies : que demander d’autre ?

Poème De Charles Baudelaire (Correspondances, Les Fleurs Du Mal). Par PERRONE DAVIDE. La bande magnétique qui accompagne cette composition pour soprano et piano nous fait plonger dans un monde de pureté, un enveloppement originel. Les deux premiers versets du poème récités, place à la musique et à son univers pseudo- tonal, qui, partant d'une idée interrogative, ne laisse apparaître que progressivement le parcours harmonique et tonal choisi. / Niveau : Moyen à Avancé / Contemporain / Date parution : 2010-05-05/ Répertoire / Soprano, Piano et Bande (Cd Audio)

For Snare Drums And Band. Par BORODINE ALEXANDER. Les Danses polovtsiennes offrent l’exemple le plus spectaculaire de l’exotisme musical russe, d’une sensualité âpre, sauvage, et d’une rare virtuosité orchestrale. Ce divertissement dansé et chanté en plusieurs épisodes, quintessence de l'opéra Le Prince Igor (1879), contient tout ce qui suscita la faveur de l'Europe fin XIXe : désir d'ailleurs, attraction pour un Orient plus rêvé que réel. Masamicz Amano en a réalisé une version étonnante pour Orchestre d’Harmonie avec un délicieux solo de caisse claire. / Niveau : 5 / Classique / Répertoire / Percussions et Concert Band ou Harmonie

Czech composer Antonin Dvorak is best-known for his beautiful string-quartets his symphonies (especially nr.9 'From the New World') and his Slavonic Dances Op. 46 and 72. Dutch composer and arrranger Jan Bosveld adapted two dances (nrs. 4 and 7) from his opus 46 to the wind-band medium. Alternating between the virtuoso and the melancholy these lovely little pieces for orchestra above all provoke responses of instant recognition with your audiences. Uit de Slavische Dansen Opus 46 bewerkte Jan Bosveld op kleurrijke wijze de 4e en 6e dans. De weemoed passie en vreugde straalt af van zijn prachtige muziek en nu dus ook voor concertband.

(The Slavonic Dances)-Taken in its entirety it would be hard to overstate the enormity of Dvorák's output of excellent music and yet most young musicians are familiar with only one theme from one of his symphonies if even that. It was hisfirst set of Slavonic Dances (Op. 46) that first brought him wide recognition as a composer. In this new CMP offering two of Dvorák's delightful Czech folk-style melodies are skillfully adapted for the concert bandby James Curnow. Explore the kind of music that put Dvorák on the world stage helping to establish him as one of the key composers in the history of music.

Military bands of the Civil War era were called upon to serve in a variety of functions including impromptu concerts and formal dances. During particularly long and tedious inspections dance music (such as Elfin Waltz) was often performed to relieve tensions and provide variety. Here is a creative and delightful setting from those early bands of the 1860s.

Par SPARKE PHILIP. Norfolk is one of the most beautiful counties in England, famous for its charming villages and boundless broads, a popular centre for sailing holidays. It is also the home of one of the best known of all British composers, Sir Malcolm Arnold. The date of the premiere of this piece was to fall close to his 80th birthday, so Philip Sparke decided to write something of a birthday tribute. Some of Arnold’s best-loved orchestral works are his sets of dances: there are two sets of English Dances, Four Scottish Dances, Four Cornish Dances etc. , most of which have been arranged for concert band at one time or another. Philip Sparke thought it would be appropriate for the concert band tohave its own set of dances and wrote Four Norfolk Dances very much in the style of Arnold’s suites. / Niveau : 4 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

This is a new edition of Béla Bartók's popular Romanian Folk Dances in its original scoring for Solo Piano. With fascinating background notes and unique imagery, this publication is essential for pianists interested in the work of the Hungarian composer.When Bartók was just 23 years old, he visited the Transylvanian town of Gerlicepuszta. Overhearing a lullaby sung by a teenage servant girl named Lidi Dósa, he quizzed her about it and noted it down. This was the beginning of a passion for folk music that would go on to change the course of the composer's life and work.Romanian Folk Dances remains one of Bartók's most popular and enduring works, evoking the folk melodies combined with his own idiosyncratic harmonies and textures. Each of the six short pieces here is based on a traditional melody which Bartók penned during his travels. Including newly engraved masterpieces Stick Dance, Waistband Dance, In One Spot, Dance From Butschum, Romanian Polka and Fast Dance, this sheet music collection features editorial revisions guided by recordings of Bartók's own performance. The notation also includes fingering guidance throughout.Romanian Folk Dances also features a specially-written introduction as well as some fantastic photographs that both tell the story of the young composer and the intriguing backstory of this work. One of the most important 20th century composers and, along with Liszt, one of Hungary's finest musical minds, Bartók held a strong fascination for folk music. Through his studies, recordings and arrangements, he composed some incredible music like these Romanian Folk Dances, while simultaneously initiating the field of ethnomusicology. / Piano
