Pastoral Pictures paints three contrasting ‘sound pictures’. The first movement is solemn and majestic, the second dreamy and serene and he final movement joyous and cheerful. A fantastic concert work for all Grade 2-3 bands. Pastoral Pictures besteht aus drei Sätzen, die jeweils von unterschiedlichen Stimmungen geprägt sind.Der erste Satz wird durch eine langsame Einleitung eröffnet, worin der feierliche Charakter, der diesen Abschnitt bestimmt, schön zum Ausdruck kommt.Im zweiten Satz schaffen poetische und verträumte Klangbilder eine musikalische Atmosphäre der Heiterkeit. Der Komponist gibt sich der Suche nach dem Schönen hin. Alles ist zart und durchsichtig. Melodie, Harmonien und Kontrapunkt verschmelzen zu einem natürlichen Fluss.Fein und leicht entwickelt sich in den ersten Takten des dritten Satzes eine fließende Melodie, getönt von pittoresken Klängen, welche die fröhlicheStimmung eines ländlichen Marktes wiederspiegeln. Ein kurzes, imposantes Zwischenspiel setzt dem ausgelassenen Treiben ein Ende und leitet über zu einem triumphierenden und bewegten Finale.

In the summer of 1852, Vier Stücke ['Four Pieces'] for viola and piano by Robert Schumann were published under the title Märchenbilder ['Fairy-Tale Pictures'] by the Kassel publishing house Luckhardt, with a particularly expressive vignette on the titlepage. Unusual were both this title Märchenbilder, on the one hand, and the scoring with a solo viola, on the other. With the viola in a soloistic role in chamber music, Schumann's Märchenbilder, Op. 113, offers a rather unfamiliar, but all the more delightful sound.

As the title implies, this piece conveys composer Alan Lee Silva's imaginative take on the beauty of the Puget Sound off the coast of Washington state. The piece has many of the compositional techniques you have come to know and love in the pieces of Silva. There are driving rhythms, effortlessly flowing melodies, beautiful harmonic colors and just an overwhelming sense that the piece is exactly as it should be. This is a true mark of a master composer, one who can make the music have a sense of inevitability and sound just right.

Although the organ clearly represents the centre of the musical action in Jean Guillou's Concerto No. 5 'Le Roi Arthur', the accompanying brass quintet has an important role. Like the noble knights at the legendary Round Table of King Arthur, horn, trumpet, fluegelhorn, trombone and tuba group themselves musically around the 'King of the Instruments'. In the brass sound, both soft and dynamic, they lay the harmonic foundation, with the music written for them developing into fanfare-like figures. They always make a caesura when the organ is about to play its imaginative and virtuoso sound passages.Precision and technical assurance are required to orchestrate this picturesque sound puzzle effectively from a seemingly mythical time.

The sun smiles, the morn-ing begins * A happy day * Stars shine in the evening * Once upon a time, there were three bears * Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf * The elephant and the little dog * The military outpost at night * Brightly sound the trumpets * The boys' dance * The girls' dance * Somewhere people are marching * Mother and father are having a conversation * Grandfather and grandchildren are going for a walk * The trumpet and the echo * The cockerel crows and the cuckoo calls * Spring buds on the branches * Balalaika and concertina.

A musical fairytale
ISBN 9790004488713. 9 x 12 inches.
In 2015 Philipp Matthias Kaufmann was commissioned to write an arrangement for chamber ensemble with motifs of Humperdinck's famous opera. While the instrumentation offered a variety of possibilities soundwise, with the required 7 minutes playing time it was a challenging task for him to confine the arrangement to just a few motifs. Kaufmann chose a dramaturgic coherence for his arrangement; a pocket-sized instrumental fairytale was the result. Based on a version of the beautiful overture, the children's songs of the cheerful siblings Hansel and Gretel are played. Then, their father comes home, half-drunk to bear his life in poverty. For the sake of brevity, this is directly followed by the rumbling Witch's Ride. The gruff lady is then carefully stowed away in her oven, which leads to the jubilant finale. As an extract from a grand work, this arrangement does indeed have a charming impact, for Humperdinck's ideas can stand this kind of abridgement quite easily.A musical fairytale.
