Medieval Fanfare and Chant (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Story, Michael

This piece is based entirely upon Perotin's "Viderunt Omnes." A member of the Notre Dame School, Perotin was a pioneer in three- and four-voice polyphony. "Viderunt Omnes" is one of the few remaining pieces of organum quadruplum known to exist. "Medieval Fanfare and Chant" alternates between the literal presentation of the music and a more contemporary setting of the themes, going back and forth until the final grandiose statement.Duration: 3.45

Meditation (Saxophone Section Feature with Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Hassler, Hans Leo - Sparke, Philip

This timeless melody by Hans Leo Hassler (1564-1612) is now chiefly remembered because of its inclusion in J.S. Bach's St. Matthew Passion (hence its title), where it is treated to a variety of rich harmonisations. This setting features alto and tenor saxophones, who first play a lyrical descant to the famous hymn tune and then the melody itself, against a Bach-like obbligato in the upper woodwinds. This fabulous new arrangement presents a wonderful opportunity to feature your saxophones.Duration: 4:15

Meditation and Festiva

As the name suggests, the opening is a slow, dirge- like section beginning with reeds, adding trombone and low brass. An ostinato snare drum helps build the opening to a climax which then returns to the original meditative mood. A sudden shift in mood occurs at the Festiva, where punctuating brass, lyric clarinets, and effective polychords lead in a rhythmically straightforward way toward a highly fulfilling conclusion.
