Based on an early American fiddle tune, Grainger created a setting as he describes that aims at preserving a pioneer blend of lonesome wistfulness and sturdy persistence. The 16-measure melody is fully explored and developed in a variety of harmonizations and instrumental colors, and is particularly noteworthy for the extensive use of tuneful percussion (bells, chimes, xylophone, marimba) as well as important parts for piano and harp.

In The Pioneers Philip Sparke salutes the bicentenary of an expedition by two all time American heroes - Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. They were commissioned by US President Thomas Jefferson to find the headwaters of the Missouri and a route to the Pacific following the Louisiana Purchase, which doubled the size of the USA. They set out as the ‘Corps of Discovery’ from Louisville, Kentucky, in May 1804 and not only did they succeed in reaching the Pacific through hostile territory, but also found their way back - in 3 years! The piece is not descriptive of the journey but gives the composer the opportunity to celebrate the 200th anniversary of this amazing feat. Add a touchof the wild-west to any concert with this exciting work. De titel van dit werk verwijst naar het begin van het avontuur van de ‘National Children’s Brass Band of Great Britain’, maar The Pioneers is ook een eerbewijs aan twee helden van de componist: Meriwether Lewis en William Clark,die twee eeuwen geleden op expeditie gingen in opdracht van de Amerikaanse president Thomas Jefferson. Ze vertrokken vanuit Louisville, Kentucky in mei 1804. Ze slaagden er niet alleen in om de Grote Oceaan te bereiken doorvijandig gebied, maar ze vonden ook hun weg terug - in drie jaar! Het werk beschrijft deze reis niet, maar geeft de componist de mogelijkheid om deze geweldige prestatie te memoreren.Der Titel ist ein Salut an die Zweihundertjahrfeier einer Expedition von zwei Heldenfiguren des Komponisten - Meriwether Lewis und William Clark. Ihre Expeditionstruppe, bekannt als das ‘Corps of Discovery’, erforschte das Quellgebiet des Missouri und fand eine Route zum Pazifik durch feindliches Gebiet. Der Komponist ergriff die Gelegenheit, den 200. Jahrestag dieser Meisterleistung zu feiern, mit diesem Werk, das sich auch wunderbar zur Umrahmung Ihres nächsten festlichen Anlasses eignet.Le 30 avril 1803, le Traité de cession de la Louisiane entre la France et les États-Unis était signé. L’acquisition de ces terres permet aux États-Unis de doubler la superficie de leur territoire de l’époque. Meriwether Lewis et William Clark sont alors mandatés par le président Thomas Jefferson, pour cartographier les sources du Missouri et tracer une voie vers le Pacifique. Parti de Louisville dans le Kentucky, en mai 1804, le corps expéditionnaire (‘Corps of Discovery’) traverse d’interminables territoires hostiles, réussit atteindre le Pacifique et rentre au terme d’un périple de deux ans ! Cette composition ne fait pas le récit du voyage, mais permet au compositeur decommémorer les deux cents ans de cette fabuleuse expédition. Il 30 aprile 1803 fu firmato il trattato di cessione della Louisiana tra la Francia e gli Stati Uniti. L’acquisizione di queste terre permise agli Stati Uniti di raddoppiare la superficie del proprio territorio. L’allora presidente Thomas Jefferson incaricò Meriwether Lewis e William Clark di cartografare le sorgenti del fiume Missouri e tracciare la strada verso il Pacifico. Partita da Louisville (Kentucky), nel maggio del 1804, la spedizione attraversò interminabili territori ostili, riuscendo a raggiungere il Pacifico per poi tornare alla base di partenza al termine di un periplo durato due anni. Questo brano non è un racconto del viaggio, ma permette al compositoredi commemorare i duecento anni di questa favolosa spedizione.

Celebrate the joy and friendship of the brass band movement with this truly uplifting march. Een hommage aan de voortrekkers - de ‘pioniers’ - in de wereld van de blaasmuziek in de Lage Landen: de oorspronkelijke oprichters van de orkesten en degenen die steeds weer het voortouw nemen in de organisatie achter de schermenvan de verenigingen en bonden. Deze vrijwilligers zetten zich met hart en ziel in. Soms zijn ze ook nog de spil van families die actief zijn in de verenigingen. Jacob de Haan componeerde Pioneers of the Lowlands ter nagedachtenisvan een van hen, in opdracht van diens familie. De mars wordt gekenmerkt door een krachtig syncopische melodie in mineur, gevolgd door een uitgesproken lyrisch trio in majeur.Dieser Marsch von Jacob de Haan ist geprägt von einer kraftvollen, synkopierten Melodie in Moll, gefolgt von einem besonders lyrischen Trio in Dur. Er ist eine Hommage an alle, die als Pioniere der Musik“ Vereine und Orchester ins Leben gerufen haben und sich oft ehrenamtlich engagieren. Dieser Marsch entstand für einen solchen Pionier aus Holland und wird auch vielen der aktiven und passiven Musikfreunde in Ihrem Konzertsaal aus dem Herzen sprechen.

Great Britain has had a National Youth Brass Band since 1952, which caters for players between the ages of 12 and 18 and has produced many outstanding instrumentalists in its distiguished history. An exciting development took place in July 2004 when the first summer course of a new National Children's Brass Band of Great Britain, for players between the ages of 8 and 13, was held in Bromsgrove, Worcester. Renowned cornet soloist and conductor Lynda Nicholson was appointed music director and she commissioned Philip Sparke to write a piece for this inaugural course. The Pioneers was the result. The title refers to the fact that the NCBBGB was starting out on a new adventure but is also a salute to the bicentenary of an expedition by two of the composer's heroes - Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. They were commissioned by US President Thomas Jefferson to find the headwaters of the Mississippi and a route to the Pacific following the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, which doubled the size of USA. They set out, as the “Corps of Discovery,” from Louisville, Kentucky, in May 1804; not only did they succeed in reaching the Pacific through hostile territory, but also found their way back - in three years!
