Diagram (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Waignein, Andre

The story of the origin of Diagram for Symphonic Band is a curious one. Andre 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, Andre Waignein wanted to dedicate a composition to the band where Mr. Vivier has been chairman for 20 years. In connection with this, Andre Waignein was supposed to receive some extra information about the 120 years old history of this band, which has always been led by a member of 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 Andre Waignein to transform this diagram into music.Duration: 13:45

Dialogues (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Wagner, Douglas E.

One voice listens to another, hears and responds... So begins the 'Notes to the Conductor' from this musical investigation of communication. The choirs within the ensemble state their comments and then interweave and give response. Sensitive dynamic structuring underlines the programmatic and educational significance of this fascinating work. Duration: 3.00

Dialogues (for Winds and Percussion) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sweeney, Michael

Here is a unique and striking work using contemporary percussion techniques, unmeasured sections, and dramatic musical effects. Strong brass fanfares, woodwind flourishes and short canonic statements lead to an uptempo rhythmic ostinato that builds steadily by layering rhythms and melodies. A brief slower section features solos for horn and flute before returning to the fast tempo and exuberant finish. Duration: 6:30
