Copernicus - Johan Nijs

Polish academic Nicolaus Copernicus was a genius, excelling in the fields of mathematics, physics, law and astronomy. He is most remembered for his then revolutionary model of the solar system. Going against the grain, he put forward the idea that the sun, and not the earth, was the focal point of our solar system and all the planets revolve around it. Despite the initial uproar his ideas caused, he revolutionised science during the 15th century. His influence can still be felt today and despite being separated by many centuries, Copernicus inspired composer Johan Nijs to write this exciting piece for concert band.

The brass section announces the beginning of this production/closer with a powerful 6/8 fanfare. The pace then quickens with the energetic main theme, followed by a feature for percussion and woodwinds. The final segment that evolves provides a breathtaking and exuberant finishing statement.

Copland Opener - Jay Bocook

Coppa Fragole - Bart Picqueur

Coppa Fragole - or strawberry cup in English - is a delicious musical refreshment that is comprised of the following ingredients: cinematic, orchestral vanilla ice cream; red strawberry in the style of a lively Argentinean milonga dance; an irresistibly sweet waltz-style sauce and a lively tarantella for the cherry on the top. Enjoy!

Cordilleras de Los Andes - Arie Malando

Subtitled Bergen Cyclus (Cyclus of Mountains) as it should be considered a continuation of an earlier work Rivieren Cyclus (Cyclus of Rivers).The Dutch composer Malando was often inspired by original Latin-american music. Being a percussionist himself he often made use of exotic percussion-instruments in his orchestrations. Malando earned his greatest fame as a composer of tangos. His most famous tango Ol Guapa was said to be played almost every minute in some or other place in the world. Short before his death Malando made two tours to Japan where his music (and his orchestra) enjoyed a tremendous popularity.Kees Vlak is not only active as an arranger - as is the case with this Malando composition - but also as a composer in the Spanish and Latin-american idiom. In the Spanish genre he wrote several Suites: Paso Cabaio,Paso Flamenco, El Paso Montanesa and El Paso Moro Gitano. In the Latin-american genre he wrote the Antillian Suite and the Windward Islands Suite.
