Opening with an edge of uncertainty, soft brass fanfares immediately begin to build in intensity until bold harmonic lines rise to support the soaring melodic material. A flurry of rhythmic activity catapults the work forward in joyous fashion while lyrical lines continue in stark contrast. Eventually, the opening fanfare material returns while woodwind flourishes drive the work to an exciting conclusion!

The airiness and fanfares of this enchanting overture herald a new, less inhibited classical period in the works of Jean Sibelius. The lively main section in the major and the classical orchestration bear features that suggest an admiration for Mendelssohn.

A Midwest Celebration is geschreven voor de Decatur Municipal Band uit Illinois in de Verenigde Staten, ter gelegenheid van het 150-jarig bestaan van dit orkest. Philip Sparke kreeg de opdracht een werk te schrijven dat rechtzou doen aan de lange geschiedenis van het orkest - met een weerspiegeling van het gevarieerde repertoire, dat bestaat uit traditionele kost, zoals ouvertures en marsen, maar dat ook nieuwe, originele werken en arrangementen bevat.A Midwest Celebration is gebaseerd op de populaire negentiende-eeuwse orkestouvertures van componisten als Berlioz, Verdi en Suppé.Für den schwungvollen Auftakt dieser Hommage an ein Blasorchester, das Traditionelles und moderne Originalwerke in seinem Repertoire vereint, nahm sich Philip Sparke die Ouvertüren eines Berlioz, Verdi oder Suppé zum Vorbild. Dem setzte er als zweites Thema eine heitere Melodie entgegen, die durch verschiedene Teile des Blasorchesters gereicht und weiterentwickelt wird, bevor sich im Höhepunkt beide Ideen treffen und das Werk beenden. Le Midwest est une vaste région du centre des États-Unis, entre la Côte Est et l'Ouest américain. Fondé le 19 septembre 1857, l’Orchestre d’Harmonie Municipal de Decatur (Illinois, États-Unis) est une des plus anciennes formations civiles américaines. Depuis sa création, l’orchestre n’a jamais cessé de participer activement la vie florissante de la cité, se produisant lors de concerts en intérieur ou en plein air, de parades ou de certains événements spéciaux. la demande de Jim Culbertson, directeur musical de l’orchestre, Philip Sparke fut chargé d’écrire une pièce qui illustre la longue et riche histoire de la formation travers un répertoire varié qui s’étend de l’universclassique avec ses ouvertures et marches jusqu’aux œuvres originales et arrangements d’œuvres récents.A Midwest Celebration s’inspire de quelques célèbres ouvertures orchestrales du XIXe siècle écrites par de grands compositeurs tels que Berlioz, Verdi et Suppé. L’introduction est florissante. Tout s’apaise lorsqu’apparaît une mélodie aux courbes harmonieuses, jouée par les cors, les clarinettes et les saxophones. Mais peine commence-t-il se développer que le thème est brutalement interrompu par l’intervention des trompettes qui ouvrent un vertigineux passage Vivace, illuminé par des fanfares brillantes (cuivres) et une profusion d’éléments d’ornementation (bois). Les cors reprennent l’exposition de la mélodie initiale soutenus par la douceur ondulante des fl tes. Soudain, les lignes mélodiques du Vivace resurgissent et balayent la musique pour progresser vers leur intensité maximale, point de rencontre entre les deux thématiques qui mènent le composition vers sa conclusion.

The Way to Heaven was commissioned by the Royal Air Force Music Services. 2015 was the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, which took place between July and October 1940, when the courageous fighter pilots of the Royal Air Forcethwarted Hitler’s ambitions to launch an invasion on the UK. The Way to Heaven opens with fluttering woodwind figures and brass fanfares, which build to a climax before a change of key introduces a short quotation for the Polish National Anthem - Mazurek Dbrowskiego. This fades and you can hear thesignal to scramble and the throaty sounds of the squadron’s Merlin engines bursting into life before they line up to take off. This leads to the main thematic material of the work, which depicts the heaven-bound flight of 303 Squadron as it climbs tointercept the incoming Messerschmitt 109s. A brief allusion to the Polish national anthem brings the piece to a triumphant close. The Way to Heaven is geschreven in opdracht van de Britse Royal Air Force Music Services.

The Way to Heaven opent met ‘dwarrelende’ motieven in het hout en koperfanfares, die worden opgebouwd tot een climax voordat een modulatie een kort citaat van het Poolse volkslied Mazurek Dbrowskiego introduceert. Dit sterft weg endan horen we het alarmsignaal voor het opstijgen van de vliegtuigen, en het schorre geluid van de Merlin-motoren voordat de gevechtstoestellen de lucht in gaan. Dit leidt tot het belangrijkste thematische materiaal van het werk, dat de ‘vlucht naarde hemel’ van het 303 Squadron beschrijft tijdens de klim omhoog met als doel het onderscheppen van de Duitse Messerschmitts Bf 109. Een toespeling op het Poolse volkslied brengt het werk naar zijn triomfantelijke slot.The Way to Heaven wurde von den Royal Air Force Music Services in Auftrag gegeben. 2015 jährte sich die Luftschlacht um England, die von Juli bis Oktober 1940 stattgefunden hat, zum 75.

American Visions is a fast-paced and energetic composition featuring rousing brass fanfares, lively woodwind motives, and driving percussion. It was initially inspired to embody the sense of American vigor and patriotism. Musically, the main motive at mm. 4-12 runs throughout the piece and vacillates between duple and triplet rhythms. Players should be mindful to differentiate between the two rhythms, so there is clarity. Measure 39 represents a contrasting section, and should be thought of as dark and warm sounding as possible. I intended that the section would resemble the overall timbre of orchestral strings, and players could think of that when performing the piece. Measure 55 presents a triplet rhythmic motive that must be precise in timing and dynamics. At m. 66, be sure that the main melodic motive and the tenor saxophone, low brass, and chimes countermelody can be heard through the ensemble's texture. Measure 73 uses bell tone articulations that build to standard articulations at m. 76. Thank you for playing my composition.American Visions is a fast-paced and energetic composition featuring rousing brass fanfares, lively woodwind motives, and driving percussion.

For clarinetist Ayako Neidich and the NY Licorice Ensemble (a true musical bridge between New York and Japan), Ewazen has refashioned two of his fanfares, originally scored for other forces. An orchestral tone poem, Fanfare from Monument to Color and Light, was remade as a trumpet ensemble, and now finds new life as clarinet choir. His Front Range Fanfare, originally for brass ensemble, brings its grandeur and majesty to clarinets. These new settings bring a celebration by Ewazen to better clarinet choirs. For advanced performers.

Fanfare from Monument to Color and Light opens the set (from the orchestral tone poem written for the Colorado National Monument centennial), with melodic lines jumping through the shimmering ensemble. Front Range Fanfare, originally for brass ensemble (114-41470), was inspired by Ewazen's first glimpse of the Rockies rising up from the plains of Colorado. Says Ewazen, It is grand and majestic, with bold, melodic motives that leap and jump, leading to a resonant and celebratory chorale, bringing these two fanfares to a heroic finale..

Smith’s first published march. A bravura opening fanfare punctuated with the percussion forces open this march. The first strain gives us a jaunty tune with baritones and trombones playing the countermelody. The second strain refers back to the opening fanfares with percussion section soli banding about. A reserved trio tune played by clarinets, first horn and baritone are assisted with chromatic runs played by flute, oboe, muted first trumpet and bells. The opening fanfares return in the break strain, which then gives us a terrific trio strain. Accessible and playable for all musicians!

This is a ceremonious, sonorous work for wind band with four solo fanfares (valve fanfares) or solo trumpets. The accompanying part can also be reduced and played by a brass ensemble. It is easy to play and so particular suitable for mass music-making at large events.Franz R Miller who was a pupil of Carl Orff's among others, used to be an editor for Bayerische Rundfunk [Bavarian Radio]. He is in particular highly regarded as an expert in choral music.(4 (Ventil-)Fanfaren in Es (Solo-Trompeten in B), 1 Flote, 1 Oboe ad lib., 1 Fagott ad lib., 1 Klarinette in Es ad lib., 3 Klarinetten in B, 2 Alt-Saxophone in Es, 1 Tenor-Saxophon in B, 3 Horner in F oder in Es, 3 Trompeten in B, 3 Posaunen, 2 Flugelhorner in B, 3 Tenorhorner in B, 1 Bariton, 2 Tuben, Pauken, Schlagzeug: kleine Trommel, grosse Trommel, Becken).

A brilliant and thrilling programmatic work from the pen of Rossano Galante, Sword Of The Titans is a musical portrayal of a journey of a group of titans in their quest to retrieve one of their stolen swords that was lost in battle. The sword possesses great magical powers and is vital to their reign. The music describes this adventure with dark, melodic lines in the horns, and majestic fanfares in the trumpets and trombones. Ultimately, the titans retrieve their stolen sword as the work concludes, utilizing powerful brass fanfares and woodwind ostinati. A magnificent tour-de-force for mature bands!

This exuberant expression of joy begins with a series of brass fanfares punctuated by percussion interludes and woodwind flourishes. Moving between bold multi-meter sections and lighter passages, the opening music propels forward until a reflective center section arrives, featuring solos for onstage and offstage flutes. The end of the work brings back all the intensity of the opening along with expanded fanfares and multi meter passages. Fantastic!

Festival March is presented in a new edition arranged by Richard Summers. It is a tour de force composition for advanced bands and hearkens back to a bygone era during the golden age of the band movement. Directors and students will hear operatic music from composer Victor Herbert who is best known for his Christmas classic, Toyland. This is a richly scored masterpiece that deserves to return to standard status in concert band repertoire. We are proud to bring you this new setting of this cherished classic.Festival March by Victor Herbert was written for the Pittsburgh Symphony and first performed under Herbert’s direction in Chicago on Dec. 9, 1901 celebrating the 12th anniversary of Chicago’s Auditorium Theatre. Also known as the Auditorium Festival March, he included it many times for programs of a festival nature. The main theme Auld Lang Syne, a famous Scottish folk song, is incorporated many times along with brass fanfares, interludes and march melodies. This band arrangement is very similar to the original orchestral composition. The missing string parts, the addition of the saxophone section and other band instruments, editing of the superimposed triplets against sixteenth notes, to one or the other, and articulations suitable for the band, were major challenges. The style of early twentieth-century American music is captured here. This arrangement will give band musicians access to a fine piece of music that could only be appreciated by orchestra musicians up to now. Although suitable for many occasions, this piece is a great way to begin or end a December holiday concert.  Notes to the ConductorVictor Herbert’s music can be interpreted in a romantic style, which is the conductor’s responsibility to read in nuance and musicality. The beginning and other triple-tonguing sections of this piece have a March of the Toys quality to it.  The interludes and Auld Lang Syne sections are legato and musical. The March sections can also be shaped musically.About the ComposerVictor Herbert was born in Ireland in 1861 and raised in Germany. When he moved to America in 1886, he joined the Metropolitan Opera as principal cellist and eventually composed many works including forty-three operettas on Broadway from the 1890s to World War I, including Naughty Marietta and Babes in Toyland. Victor Herbert conducted the Pittsburgh Symphony from 1898 to 1904 and then was the conductor of his own Victor Herbert Orchestra. He formed ASCAP with a group of composers in 1914 and was the director until his death in 1924. Among his thirty-one compositions for orchestra, Festival March was a favorite of his and was eventually published by Carl Fischer Music.  .
