Enter, Anew is an exciting and accessible addition to beginning band repertoire, offering plenty of opportunities for the ensemble to develop their skills in a fun and engaging manner.The piece's triumphant character evokes the excitement, uncertainty, anticipation, determination, and resilience of embarking on new chapters in life. It inspires listeners to clear their minds, refresh themselves, and enter with confidence.The piece includes both triumphant tutti moments and more tender, expressive sections, allowing the ensemble to explore a range of textures and styles. Every section is showcased and given a moment to shine in a comfortable register. The clarinets stay under the break, while some adventurous flutes and trumpets can extend up the octave. The percussion drive the piece, providing a solid rhythmic foundation, while the rest of the ensemble gets to explore contrasting dynamics and articulations.Directors can easily incorporate Enter, Anew into their programs as a strong opener, inviting and welcoming to the audience; as an inspiring closer, sending them off with a memorable concert experience; or anywhere in between. The piece should be relatively easy to learn, but it certainly doesn’t sound like it, making it a fun and rewarding experience for the band.

1. My Beautiful Island (in the present) - The character is that of a young woman who sings joyfully and exuberantly of the beauty of her island - a magnificent paradise. 2. Oh Home of Sweet Tranquility (20 years later) - The woman is beginning to realize that her cherished island is beginning to disappear due to the encroaching waves, storms and ever increasing heat. The bloom of her idealism and youth has been replaced with something more dreadful. 3. The Song Itself We Have Forgotten (an additional 20 years later) - The island clearly is doomed due to rising seas resulting in the evacuation of the entire island. She is experiencing a slow simmering shock, is dis-regulated, mumbling, and thoroughly disbelieving in what is taking place. Out in the distance I imagined an ocean liner on the horizon. She’s standing on a long line to be transported to the ship that will take her to an unknown destination and destiny. 4. Aubade - (a love poem welcoming or lamenting the arrival of dawn) As expressed by a seagull riding the wind above the ocean, my take of it relates to the arc of universal existence - Beginning, Middle (life expressed), End. Performance Note: Island Elegy and Aubade may be performed by 3 sopranos - one for each song- or by one soprano. In the latter case the final Aubade may be performed via a previously recorded multitrack rendering of all three parts or two parts with the soprano singing the top part. Alternatively, the pianist can accompany the soprano, (who sings the top line) by playing the bottom two parts on a melodica, piano or electric keyboard. Soprano(s) & Piano (with opt. Melodica) Duration: ca. 25' Composed: 2023 Published by: Subito Music Publishing.

I have only visited Damascus once, twenty years ago, on the way to Palmyra. I had a purpose (I was writing music for a play about Palmyra’s Queen Zenobia) but essentially I was a tourist. Like any visitor, I was thrilled to step out of the noisy modern city into the magical ancient world of the walled Old City, its vibrant souk leading to the magnificent mosque, and a labyrinth of winding, narrow streets filled with the smell of unleavened bread.
In Palmyra, I was met with extraordinary kindness everywhere. On one occasion, a little Bedouin boy noticed that I was risking sunstroke wandering bare-headed among the spectacular ruins: he showed me how to tie a turban, then took me to have tea with his family in their tent.
Since then, I have watched helplessly as these places of wonder have been devastated and their inhabitants scattered and killed. When the Sacconi Quartet suggested that I might choose a Syrian poet for our collaboration, I welcomed the idea.
I searched for a long time to find a contemporary poet whose work might gain from any music I could imagine. I felt it was important to find first-hand accounts of the Syrian experience – but, of course, I was always reading them in translation. In an anthology called Syria Speaks, I was astonished to read something that looked like prose, but was full of poetry. It was Anne-Marie McManus’s fine translation of Ali Safar’s A Black Cloud in a Leaden White Sky – an eloquent, thoughtful, contained yet vivid account of life in a war-torn country, all the more moving for its restraint.
In setting these words, I have not attempted to imitate Syrian music. However, there is what might be called a linguistic accommodation in my choice of scale, or mode. Several movements are in a mode that I first discovered while writing a cantata commemorating the First World War: it has a tuning that I associate with war, its violence and desolation. This eight-note mode is similar to scales found in Syrian music. I did not choose it in the abstract: it emerged from the harmonies I was exploring in the earlier work, and emerged again as I was looking for the right musical colours to set Ali Safar’s words. In this work, its Arabic aspect is more prominent. - Jonathan Dove

Brian Mayâ??s We Will Rock You was not Queenâ??s biggest hit when it first came out. However, looking back it has become much more than simply a successful song. It is the groupâ??s hymn, welcomed with loud cheers whenever and wherever it is played.Let the good times roll with Lorenzo Bocciâ??s outstanding arrangement that will rock your band!Toen het werd uitgebracht, was het nummer We Will Rock You van Brian May niet meteen een grote hit voor Queen. Later is het echter veel meer geworden dan gewoon een succesvolle song: het is uitgegroeid tot de herkenningstune van de band. Waaren wanneer het ook klinkt: het wordt altijd met gejuich begroet. Laat de goede oude tijd herleven met Lorenzo Bocciâ??s bewerking - die beslist rockt! We Will Rock You von Brian May ist kurz nach seiner Veröffentlichung nicht einmal der gröÃ?te Erfolg fu?r die Rockgruppe Queen gewesen - ru?ckblickend, anlässlich des 40-jährigen Bu?hnenjubiläums, ist er die Hymne und das Erkennungszeichen der Band schlechthin. Wenn Sie einer der groÃ?artigsten Rockbands aller Zeiten ein Konzertprogramm widmen wollen, darf diese Bearbeitung nicht fehlen! Queen a conservé, malgré le décès de son charismatique leader et auteur succès, Freddie Mercury, en 1991, de très nombreux admirateurs inconditionnels dans le monde entier. La chanson We Will Rock You figure encore aujourdâ??hui parmi leschansons les plus populaires du groupe. En choisissant We Will Rock You, faites vibrer votre auditoire au rythme magique de Queen !We Will Rock You è la prima canzone dellâ??album News of the World dei Queen, uscito nel 1977 e composta da Brian May. Sulla facciata B del 45 giri si trovava We Are the Champions, ciò che spiega il fatto che queste due canzoni furono avolte eseguite insieme nei concerti della band, spesso una seconda volta in una versione più rapida. We Will Rock You resta una delle canzoni più popolari del gruppo ed è stata più volte ripresa da vari artisti.

Compiled and edited by Kenneth G. Davis, O.F.M. Conv. Building on the foundation of Volume 1, this English-language book presents essays by a variety of noted Hispanic authors and liturgists and a realistic look at the challenge and complexity of worship in Hispanic/Latino communities. Designed for non-Hispanics working in diverse, worshipping communities, it reminds us that as we gather to celebrate our faith, we must also be conscious of those missing from, or not truly welcomed, at the table.
