Soldiers Song Wind Band Set (Score & Parts)

As long as we can remember, trumpets and percussion have been the instruments most closely associated with the army and its soldiers. Just think of the medieval herald who publicly proclaimed all the king's important announcements. This work opens with a festive fanfare which immediately calls for your attention. No tidings of disaster, but a festive parade of soldiers passing by while whistling merrily. This idea was the composer's starting point when writing this cheerful little piece. 03:00

Soldiers' Chorus (Concert Band - Score and Parts)

The tale of Faust, who sold his soul to the devil in exchange for knowledge and power, has been a source of inspiration for many authors, poets, film directors and composers. Among these is the French composer Charles Gounod whose opera Faust was first performed in 1859. This charming Soldiers' Chorus is one of the most famous melodies from the opera. Its musical simplicity and beauty fits any concert programme that needs a well-known classical arrangement.

Solemnitas (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Cesarini, Franco

Each year on the last Monday in June, the German city of Burgdorf celebrates the holiday of youth, the so called 'Solennitat'. It is the most important event occurring in the city and consists of three processions walking through the centre of town to celebrate, at the city's expense, the good results achieved in school. This new work by Franco Cesarini takes it's inspiration from this event and leads us through contrasting variations of a Swiss folk tune.Duration: 12:15

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

This short but solemn overture was written on the occasion of the 110th jubilee of Harmonie Hautcharage, Luxembourg. It is an homage to Jean-Paul Frisch and his son Gerard (the present conductor), who each have been conducting the ensemble for many years. Under their leadership, the band has developed and improved remarkably. The very first musical theme, presented during the introduction of this little overture, is based on the letters hidden in the names Jean-Paul and Gerard Frisch (in which h is considered b - as it is in German), thus aiming the spotlight on both key figures in the history of Harmonie Hautcharage. After the rather stately intro, the allegro is more joyful and lighthearted, thus depicting the optimism of the many young players of the band. The end is exciting and energetic: it radiates positivity and belief in the future. Duration: 5.30
