This celebratory and dramatic rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner arranged for brass and percussion by Sean O'Loughlin has become a favorite of both the Oregon Symphony and Baltimore Symphony brass players, being played at sporting events including Portland Trailblazers NBA basketball games, Baltimore Orioles baseball games, and Baltimore Ravens football games.With fanfare flourishes and colorful touches, this grand arrangement gives each section an opportunity to play the melody, making for a truly dynamic experience.In the winter of 2009 my good friend David Bamonte, who is the assistant principal trumpet in the Oregon Symphony, asked if I had written an arrangement of The Star-Spangled Banner for brass. The result is this version of The Star-Spangled Banner that was premiered at a Portland Trailblazers NBA basketball game at the Rose Garden in Portland, Oregon. It has enjoyed several performances at those games over the years, and the team has been led to victory after each performance. Coincidence? Over the past decade, this same arrangement has gone on to performances by the Baltimore Symphony brass and percussion at the Baltimore Orioles baseball games and the Baltimore Ravens football games.The arrangement itself was written to showcase the extraordinary talent and sound of the Oregon Symphony Brass players. Percussion parts were added later for an expanded performance. A brief opening and closing fanfare was added to set the stage for the tone and grandeur of the music. Throughout the arrangement, each section gets the opportunity to play the melody while adding some interesting colors to support the iconic anthem. It is instantly majestic and celebratory in nature and a fitting tribute to our great nation.

Like a fine crystal ornament, the delicate opening expresses the precious meaning of the song. Gradually, the music grows in strength to a full and rich proclamation of joy. Thrilling chimes lift the spirit even higher. In the last bars the music melts away once again, befitting the gentleness of the gift and the moment. This is a delightful contrast piece for the holiday concert that allows the musicians to be truly expressive. Sketches on a French Carol is gebaseerd op het Franse kerstlied Il Est Né (’t Is geboren, het godd’lijk kind). De delicate opening drukt de kostbare boodschap van het lied uit. Geleidelijk wordt de muziek krachtiger,rijker en vreugdevoller totdat ze in de laatste maten weer tot rust komt, passend bij de dankbaarheid voor de geboorte van het Kerstkind. Dit is een aantrekkelijk werk vol contrasten waarin uw muzikanten heel expressief kunnenspelen.Wie ein feines Kristallornament zeichnet die zarte Eröffnung die Stimmung und Botschaft des französischen Weihnachtsliedes vor. Nach und nach wächst die Musik zu einem volltönenden Ausruf des Jubels an. Glockenspielklänge heben die festliche Stimmung noch an. In den letzten Takten verebbt die Musik wieder ganz sanft. Dieser bezaubernde Kontrast erlaubt Ihren Musikern, im nächsten weihnachtlichen Konzert ihre ganze Ausdruckskraft zu entfalten.
