Sparkling Samba (Concert Band - Score and Parts)

The flowing rhythm of the samba is often tempestuous and fast, but it always moves within a steady tempo. The samba, like running water, can murmur, swell, sparkle and develop into a fierce element. It is always in motion. Inspired by this principle, Gilbert Tinner composed the work Sparkling Samba. Supported by a lively rhythm section, all the sections of the band dance on the waves of the samba style! 03:45

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

Spartacus is a "Symphonic Tone Poem" with 3 joints. Each section has its own melodical materials, however: in the final movement the main theme from the second section returns in a 'grandioso'-tutti. The last bar but one recaptures the 'oriental' atmosphere of the very beginning. The first section (= from the beginning till J) builds up a climax by repeating and accumulating some melodical and rhythmical structures. The oriental character of the melodical fragments refers to the origin of the Roman slaves. The second section evokes the love between Spartacus and his love by giving a peaceful atmosphere. The mean theme (presented the first time at letter L) has a broad and wide character and refers slightly to film music. In this part of the composition, a special attention is given to the orchestration. The final section is more aggressive and martial and refers to the revolt of the slaves against the Roman oppressors. In the middle of this movement, an accumulation of the 12 tones symbolises the crucifixion of the slaves: the english horn resumes partly the cadenza of the flute (at letter J), as if he wants to show again the eternal love between Spartacus and his love a very last time ... The theme at the third bar of letter T is actually based on the 2nd theme of this section (which starts at the fifth bar of letter R), but has been worked out rhythmically.Duration: 13:50
