Dumbensis - Francois Rousselot

Dunamis - André Waignein

Major Yvon Ducene wanted a new lush and colourful composition for his Guides military band, with Andr Waignein as its composer. Early in 1979 the composer began his assignement and in October of the same year, the finished full score was on the music stands of this prestigious military band of the Belgian Army.The introduction (Grave) mirrors an atmosphere full of serenity in which the theme, played by the oboes and the English horn is predominant and immediately holds the listener spell-bound. It is taken up again as central element of the slow movement.The Allegro breaks away from the quiet passion of the introduction. Here, the band can really show its capabilities to thefull. Based on a very precise rythm, an idiom of sudden desperation and adversity develops which, fused with a crushing agression, culminates in a kind of eruption, soom calmed down by a Lento : peace and quiet has returned thanks to a melody by the horns and soon taken over by the clarinets. In the meantime, the saxophone - an instrument full of human emotion - express the main spatial dimension in contemporary psyche. Following a harmonic transition the brass-players take up the theme again in forte whilst the basses and the woodwinds interwine in technical arabesques.The movings of the mind and the heart get an audible and almost touchable shape in the ensuing Allegro, a movement characterized by a rhythmic dialogue in which the whole orchestra participates and where the exposition contains a wealth of sound and technical contrasts. The Lento finally uses the central theme of the slow movement again, with some occasional references to the two allegros. The last page is of unprecedented grandeur. All the instruments display their most beautiful sound which were named by Jacques Ferschotte, when speaking about Honneger, "harmonies d'intensits" harmonies of the unmeasurable.

Dunharrow Overture - Reber Clark

Technical demands are limited without sacrificing excitement and energy in this concert work. The allegro vivo opening features dynamic rhythmic figures that pyramid throughout the band leading to a delicate and lyrical middle section. The close is a repeat of the opening figures that drive to a breathtaking finish. An excellent piece with appeal for both performer and audience.

Dunkirk - José Alberto Pina

Dunkirk March - Mark Williams

This march commemorates a daring sea rescue during World War II in which over 300,000 French and British soldiers, surrounded by German forces, were evacuated from Dunkirk by a huge volunteer flotilla consisting of every imaginable type of boat-from tiny fishing boats to yachts. This work presents a unique opportunity for musical learning, as well as cross-curricular study in social studies/history.
