Dia Festivo

Diabelli-Suite - Anton Diabelli

Diabolique - Jared Spears

Another dramatic and exciting contest work for the young band by the composer of the best selling ``Furious Fable'' and ``Thunder Mountain Overture.'' This piece opens with a majestic burst of color, proceeds to an allegro section containing contrasting moments of mystery and drama with an underlay of driving percussion resulting in a real Spears "barnburner.''

Diaghilev Dances. Wind band - Kenneth Hesketh

Diagram - André Waignein

The story of the origin of Diagram for Symphonic Band is a curious one. Andr Waignein was enjoying a meal together with his great friend Jean-Marie Vivier - representative director of l'Oreal Belgilux and the same man who made the performance of the famous Cantate aux Etoiles, with 750 performers possible. Jean Plaquet, an appreciated associate of both gentlemen was also present.As an acknowledgement, Andr Waignein wanted to dedicate a composition to the band where Mr. Vivier has been chairman for 20 years. In connection with this, Andr Waignein was supposed to receive some extra information about the 120 years old history of this band, which has always been led by a memberof the Vivier family. In a flash this history was presented : using a diagram Mr. Vivier drew the power-lines of this more than 100 year old band.And of course, the title was found ! The only thing left to do, was for Andr Waignein to transform this diagram into music.

Dialogues - James Curnow

Expect the unexpected in this major new work for Saxophone quartet and band by James Curnow. Built on a grand thematic plane, this tour de force employs the full range of expression. Gleaming modernity; dark modality; rhythms ranging from tentative to deliberate; and throughout, a sense of mysterious expectation for what is next to come. Expectations are fulfilled with the Presto finale.Not every band is capable of playing at this level, but if yours is, consider breaking new ground with DIALOGUES.
