The Thunderbolt

SKU: BT.CMP-0981-06-040

9x12 inches. English.

Enjoy this powerful minor-key march with your young band. It’s a great opportunity for the beginning group to experience playing a concert-style march with big, bold themes. Scored so that even a relatively small group can sound solid and impressive, the dynamics and articulations give you plenty to teach while the ranges and rhythms stay well within manageable limits for all players. Your students will love playing Thunderbolt Peak March. Electrifying!

Mit dem Thunderbolt Peak March bekommen Jugendblasorchester schon früh die Möglichkeit, einen imposanten Marsch im Konzertstil mit breit angelegten Themen zu spielen. Dieser kraftvolle Marsch in Moll klingt auch schon in kleinerer Besetzung gut, was oft unvollständig besetzten jungen Ensembles sehr entgegen kommen wird. Leicht, aber eindrucksvoll!

l’est de la Californie s’élève la Sierra Nevada. Coiffée de neige, la cime du Mont Thunderbolt (Thunderbolt Peak) se dresse, spectaculaire, au beau milieu de cette chaîne montagneuse. Cette marche imposante aux thèmes amples décrit, dans un mode mineur, la dangereuse beauté du décor. Une œuvre efficace même si l’on dispose d’une formation incomplète.

Titled by the students of J. T. Lambert Middle School in East Stroudsburg, PA, which commissioned the original version for band, this brilliant, heavily accented piece emphasizes rhythmic alertness and attention to dynamic contrasts. Bold fanfare writing alternates with lyrical writing of considerable warmth and the spiccato style of playing is introduced.
The title for Dance of the Thunderbolts was suggested by students at J. T. Lambert Middle School in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. This piece was originally commissioned for the sixth-grade band at the school in 2003 and has now been transcribed for string orchestra. The students specifically asked for the piece to be “a strong powerful piece with lots of accents and a strong abrupt ending.” As you can see and hear, the piece contains many of these aspects. After the title was suggested I came up with the thunderbolt dance section of the piece first stated at m. 24. Later during the compositional process I decided to frame this theme with a more lyrical theme, but one that still contains the sparkle of the staccato ostinato that is layered together with the elongated theme. Following the thunderbolt dance at m.24 is a short interlude to soften the sound before a return of the theme in fragments traded between different sections and in different tessituras. The lyrical theme returns and is followed by “a strong abrupt ending” as suggested by the students. As with all of my pieces at this level, the tempo is merely a suggestion and should be adjusted slower or faster to fit the needs of your students and the performance situation.It has been my pleasure to have the opportunity to write this piece. I hope you and your students enjoy it and find it useful for your program.—Larry ClarkLakeland, FL 2007.

A work which offers most interesting aspects also for studying, yet it is so difficult to perform that only a very correct and thoroughly edited score can provide the orchestral conductor with the proper presentation, this is what Wagner himself determined on 24 May 1860, when with his third attempt he finally had found the proper form for the overture of the Flying Dutchman. Indeed, he succeeded in writing a forceful concert piece which anticipates the story of the opera in a concentrated form: a dramatic Dutchman theme with thunderbolt and storm in Allegro con brio - and in contrast Senta's love theme in Andante, d minor against f major with the resulting conflicts and tensions. It's good that with the present edition the conductor can count on a very correct and thoroughly edited score!

Based on clusters of sound and an unrelenting rhythmic drive, the music was imagined after the composer's home was hit by lightning. The work has an urgency about it that is juxtaposed with brief moments of release before tension builds once again. Percussion plays a big role throughout and a modular twist occurs toward the end as the inexhaustible energy moves into a fiery conclusion.

In classic Greek mythology, Aquila (Latin for eagle) was a powerful bird that carried the thunderbolts of Zeus, the god of war. This majestic name was also given to a northern constellation that extends across the celestial equator. The lofty flight of the stately eagle is heard in this original work for developing string orchestra. Set in B minor, the theme is stated and developed first in violins accompanied by a staccato ostinato. Rhythmic phrases alternate with lyrical slurred patterns that rise and fall like the soaring eagle. Students will encounter easy dotted quarter rhythms, two-note slurs, and a variety of dynamics in this excellent concert selection.
