Manzara - Jacob de Haan

This work is named after the Turkish word for 'landscape': Manzara. The title describes the marshland in Rheinland-Pfalz, which in 150 years has gradually been transformed into a wild landscape through the harvesting of peat. Different musical elements such as fugues and rhythmical patterns, as well as beautiful melodic themes, depict several aspects of the evolution and occurrences of this region. An exciting and challenging concert or contest piece!

Maple Leaf March

Maple Leaf Overture - Philip Sparke

Named after the leaf displayed on Canada's flag, Maple Leaf Overture was composed specifically to open a Canadian school's symphonic band tour of England. A short fanfare during the overture smoothly transitions to a jazzy, syncopated section. The main theme is first played by the horns and saxophones, and then by the entire ensemble. This lively theme then alternates with a slower second theme, building momentum before a brisk coda culminates in a rousing finale!

With its vibrant harmonies and melodic lines, this piece is a perfect introduction to the Spanish style marches that are usually only accessible to more advanced bands. It will be the perfect opener for your next concert! (2:45)
