Oregon (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - De Haan, Jacob

This fantasy tells the story of Oregon, one of America's north-western states. Traveling by train on the Northern Pacific Railroad, the listener is taken through the fascinating Oregon landscape. Indians, cowboys, golddiggers and hooded wagons will file past on this adventurous journey. The piece has some similarities with a soundtrack of a movie. Various melodies, which could be the main themes of a movie, pass the review.The piece begins in a slow movement, introducing the first theme in minor. Then we hear in the following fast movement the trombones imitate the train, whistling the steam-flute. We hear the characteristic minor theme again, but now in different variants (also in major). The rythmic structure of "western" stile and rock succeed each other. This is leading to the slow movement, where the signals of horns and trumpets introduce a wonderful vocal melody. After this characteristic melody, the fast movement appears shortly again, the trombones whistling the steam-flute again (now in major). We hear also some musical elements, that plays a part in the following Presto. Barchanges, jazzy chords, interesting rhytmic patterns (with bongo) and an original theme are the characteristics of this Presto. After this, the horns announce the last section of the piece. Interesting is the fact that we hear in this Allegro section a variant of the vocal melody in the slow movement. Also the Presto theme returns shortly, followed by the Allargando, which is a grand characteristic end of a soundtrack. The movie of our travelling fantasy has come to an end.Duration: 9:00

Oriental Postcards (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Crausaz, Etienne

Oriental Postcards is comprised of three variations on a theme with an Eastern character: in From Egypt, the theme is contrastingly first played in brass and then in woodwind; in From the Desert the drums play an important role; and in From the Orient Express the theme appears in a dun, light-hearted guise. This catchy composition was especially written for young musicians and is especially suitable for youth bands.Duration: 6:40

Orientales (Concert Band - Score and Parts)

This music depicts "tales" from the "Orient" and conjures up a pot pourri of oriental dances, scents and spices. These are contrasted with the darker side of some Eastern countries such as poverty, war and oppression - aspects from which people find escape in art and music. This piece is both thought-provoking and enjoyable. 07:30

Orion (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Van der Roost, Jan

There are all sorts of marches: fast and slow, solemn and energetic, military and civil, procession and funeral. Orion is a so-called 'slow march'. However the moderate tempo does not make a passive or heavy impression. On the contrary, this march contains natural optimism and spontaneity. The persistant 'pulse' gives this majestic march a noble character.Duration: 4:00
