Abide With Me

Abide With me - William Henry Monk

This arrangement of "Abide with me" slightly differs from the traditional representation of the hymn.The piece has a majestic introduction based on elements from and around the hymn. Furthermore, the theme is presented in a more familiar way. The ending then reverts to the expression from the opening.This arrangement may fit in many concert programs, but is perhaps ideally suited for church concerts.

About Reynard the Fox - Kevin Houben

We find ourselves initially at the court of King Nobel, where all the animals have arrived for a court hearing. Reynard the Fox has plenty to answer for but he seems determined to avoid his punishment... Kevin Houben chose this fable as the theme forhis programmatic work, in which the musical setting of the fox forms the main theme. But King Nobel, Braun the bear, Murner the cat and Grimbart the badger also take a musical turn. About Reynard the Fox promises excitement and adventure rightto the last note!

Abschied der Gladiatoren - Hermann Ludwig Blankenburg

Absolute Crossover - Otto M. Schwarz

This composition is made up of three themes, which feature all thefacets of the instrumentation of a concert band as well as that ofa big band. The symphonic passages, reminiscent of film music,enable the full tone and colour of the concert band to be heard,whilst the big band sound is represented in the rock segments andslow swing sections. The musical journey travels along practicallyall styles, ending with an impressive tutti, in which the shufflerhythm of the big band melts together with the grand, classic filmmusic sound of the concert band.
