£76.99Hymnus Antverpiae (Flexible Ensemble - Score and Parts) - Van der Roost, Jan
This hymn was commissioned by "Antwerpen 93". And this city, on the banks of the river Schelde has been nominated "Cultural Capital of Europe" for 1993. The work-group "animatie" took the initiative and commissioned a hymn, which -as the finale to a grand open-air event on 27th March- was premired by hundreds of musicians from all over Europe. Philippe Langlet (France) was the conductor at this majestic occasion. Musically speaking the piece can no doubt be labelled easy. Indeed it is meant to represent a hymn, playable by all in different instrumental combinations. Consequently a variable instrumentation was chosen and a type of music, which by native is easily accessible and uncomplicated. The conductor is free -in the instrumentation- to score this piece according to his own taste. It is perhaps advisable to use the sharp brass in the forte parts, in order to make the range in the sound of the orchestra as colourful as possible. The percussion parts are not absolutely essential, so that the hymn can also be performed without percussion.Duration: 4:00

Gradually the musicians fall into line and eventually a cheerful music-making ensemble emerges. 04:55

£79.95Variations on 'Was Lebet' (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Wainwright, Andrew
Variations on 'Was Lebet' is based on the German chorale of the same name, the first line of which translates as 'O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness!' The opening fanfare figure in the Trumpets should be supported by bold, organ-like sostenuto chords in the lower band. Ensure that the fanfare in the Trumpets and Trombones from bars 25 to 28 is given equal articulation and volume in the antiphonal parts. After this majestic introductory section, the first of five contrasting variations is presented, although the tune is never realised in full form until the final variation, with fragments gradually being revealed as the piece progresses.Variation I is somewhat classical in approach, with its energy coming from a regular contrast between cantabile references to the theme, set against lively staccato figures. Ensuring a lightness of touch will be important here; the music should be poised and never sound frantic. As a result, careful attention should be paid to the tempo marking, being no quicker than 136 beats per minute. Snippets of the chorale come and go, with the last phrase of the hymn completing the movement. This final statement, at bar 95, should be an immediate change in tempo and a separate statement to the music that comes before.Variation II is plaintive in mood, giving the listener the chance to reflect on the following words, which form part of the second verse: 'Comfort thy sorrows and answer thy prayerfulness, Guiding thy steps as may best for thee be.' There is opportunity for rubato in this movement, at the discretion of the conductor.Variation III is somewhat quirky and volatile in nature, and takes its inspiration from the 3rd and 4th verses which describe the fearful times in life that we must entrust to the Lord. Driven by the Percussion section in particular, there are references here to Variation I with its chorale-like figures and hurtling scalic figures, and there is a feeling of a lack of resolution. A somewhat abrupt ending suggests that our sense of completeness in Christ is yet to be resolved. It is important that clarity and tempo are maintained in the bass line between sections L and M. Aim for consistency of line in the bass parts, particularly with the trade-offs between players here.There is a French romantic feel to the waltz in Variation IV, with the opportunity for various soloists to display their musicianship. A sense of ironic humour pervades throughout. The Clarinet and Bassoon duet from section U should be playful and display a lightness of touch, with that sense of style continued throughout the movement.Variation V is fugal in nature, with each section of the band being handed the theme at various points. Again it is important that a steady tempo is set at Y in order to maintain control. The sense of momentum gradually increases to a grandiose presentation of the full theme, beginning at section CC, affirming our completeness in the Lord, with the words of the first and last verses reiterated: O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness! Bow down before him, his glory proclaim; With gold of obedience and incense of lowliness, Kneel and adore him, the Lord is his name.Duration: 11.45
