Ostinati

Ostinati was written as a commission from Senzoku Gakuen, one of the most renowned conservatories in Japan. Jan Van der Roost has imbued it with such a broad palette of ensemble colours that it puts the entire range of instruments of theorchestra in the spotlight. The ostinato element, which characterizes each of the three movements in this work, is sure to catch the ear of any audience.

Oscar for Amnesty

The central figure in this work is Marianella Garçia Villas (1948-1983). This Salvadorean woman fought for human rights in her country. As a barrister for political prisoners she belonged to the opponents of the regime in El Salvador. She escaped death several times, but eventually her activities cost her her life. The story of Marianella Garçia Villas is very important in the struggle for human rights in South America with many people followed her example. Dirk Brossé ends this symphonic poem with a Coda in which hope for improvements in human rights triumph.

Mexican Pictures

Your band will love getting acquainted with Mexican Pictures, a suite in four movements based on Mexican folk music. The first movement, El Butaquito, is based on a very lively folk-song of the same name and is characterised by its many contrasting rhythms. The second movement, Romance Mejicano, creates a peaceful and romantic atmosphere. The title of the third movement, Ballaviejo, means ‘Antique Dance’, in which the word antique refers to the rhythms that were taken to America by Africa’s black population. La Charreada, the final movement, depicts the popular Mexican Rodeo, where the action in the arena is usually supported by instrumental ensembles, the so-called ‘Mariacchi’.

Nux NPK-10 digitalt klaver

Nux følger nu op på deres populære og højt roste WK-310 el-klaver med et slankere og mere transporterbart stagepiano. Endnu engang præsenterer Nux et højkvalitets el-klaver, som er fyldt med funktioner og egenskaber, som nøjagtigt er tilpasset til den pianist der gerne vil benytte sig af de moderne teknologiske muligheder, der i dag tilbydes indenfor klaverlæring og klaverspil. Med Nux NPK-10 får du et et el-klaver med et komplet 88-tangenters klaviatur, som er udrustet med højkvalitets hammer tangenter med escapement og ivory feel. Vægtede Hammer Action tangenter er konstrueret på en sådan måde, at tangenterne i klaviaturet har tyngde, og yder en smule modstand, når man trykker tangenterne ned. Denne egenskab har Nux hentet fra akustiske klaverer og flygler, og det er en egenskab, som mange klaverlærere sætter pris på at et el-klaver har. Det er perfekt til den vordende pianist, som er i gang med at opbygge sin fingerteknik, da det gør overgangen til et akustisk klaver meget nemmere. Escapement-mekanismen i et flygel flytter hamrene væk fra strengene hurtigt, efter at de har ramt dem, hvilket forhindrer forstyrrelser i strengenes vibrationer. Denne mekanisme giver en lille klikfølelse, når tangenterne trykkes forsigtigt ned og er helt essentiel for spillefornemmelsen på et flygel. Nux NPK-10 er ligeledes udrustet med escapement, hvilket giver digitalklaveret den samme fornemmelse i bunden af et anslag som på et flygel. Kombinationen af hammer vægtning, escarpement og ivory-feel giver NPK-10 en mere autentisk og realistisk spillefornemmelse, der læner sig tættere op af spillefornemmelsen på et akustisk klaver. Derudover er hver tangent på Nux NPK-10 udrustet med 3 seperate sensorer, således at selv små nuancer i klaverspillet ikke går tabt. NPK-10 er udrustet med 12 højkvalitets lyde, inklusive en bemærkelsesværdig akustisk flygel lyd samt andre udtryksfulde lyde, som Marimba, Cembalo, Strings, Organ, Pad og mere. Når du spiller forskellige sange og stilarter, kan du tilpasse lydens brilliance, samt tilføre effekter som rumklang og ekko. Du kan også vælge at bruge 2 lyde samtidigt, eller du kan bruge forskellige lyde på forskillige dele af klaviaturet. Det er også super nemt at gemme dine yndlingsindstillinger for hurtigt at hente dem frem igen, når du skal bruge dem på et senere tidpunkt. Indbygget Bluetooth giver dig mulighed for at tilslutte trådløst til en smartphone eller tablet, for derigennem at få adgang alle de klaver- og undervisnings app’s, man i dag kan benytte sig af for at understøtte sit klaverspil, og for at fremme indlæringen. Derudover har NPK-10 indbygget USB udgang til tilslutning til computer samt AUX indgang til tilslutning af ekstern musikafspiller. Der er Line Out, så man har mulighed for at tilslutte NPK-10 til et eksternt anlæg, hvis man får brug for at forstærke NPK-10 yderligere op. Der er desuden 2 hovedtelefon udgange, så man kan side og øve og spille sammen med en anden.

Rawhide

Performance time - ca. 3:00 (With opt. vocal solo and opt. men's chorus) Dimitri Tiomkin's iconic western theme from the TV series of the same name (1959-62) evokes the energy and excitement of a 19th-century cattle drive.Originally sung by Frankie Laine, the lyrics (by longtime Tiomkin collaborator Ned Washington) describe riding the range in the Wild West, with picturesque references to dogies (motherless calves) and vittles (the folk spellingfor victual or prepared food). The song remains among the most recognized of western themes, recorded by such diverse artists as Johnny Cash, The Jackson 5, Oingo Boingo, and Dan Ackroyd and John Belushi in The Blues Brothers.

The Last Friend of NAPOLEON

The Last Friend of Napoleon is based on a true piece of Dutch history. In October 1813, when Napoleon was beaten after his unsuccessful Russian campaign, the French withdrew from the Netherlands. At the beginning of 1814, the whole country had been liberated except for the town of Delfzijl, still occupied by French troops. This programmatic work is about political and military stubbornness, chasing dreams, and about love always following its own unequalled way. Being one of the most acknowledged composers of today, Dirk Brossé has created an epic work that depicts a dramatic story, using the full range of the symphonic band resulting in challenging brass passages, a widerange of percussion and a lot of strong, beautiful and melodic material.

Kleine Geistliche Konzerte II 1639 : Small Sacred Concertos II

The "Kleine geistliche Konzerte" (Small Sacred Concertos), published in two parts in 1636 and1639, are among the best-known and well-loved compositions of Heinrich Schütz. Both parts constitute a collection of vocal pieces in abroad range of styles written for only a few voices with basso continuo. Most of the texts are in German, but some are also in Latin. The first volume presents a broad spectrum of vocal scoring, musical forms and texts: there aresolo concertos in the Italian style, traditional four-part motets, well-known Psalm texts set to music, hymns as well as mystically contemplative meditative literature. The concertos' monodic qualities and high level of virtuosity- especially in the compositions with German text - made Schütz a household name shortly after the "Kleine geistliche Konzerte" were published in print. As the works required no large ensembles, they could be performed fordifferent occasions and in various locations: particularly during the Thirty Years' War they could be heard at court, in cities or in villages but also in schools or at home.Unlike the 1963 edition of the "Kleine geistlicheKonzerte" (BA 3664, BA 3665, BA 3666) as part of the New Schütz Edition, this new volume presents the works for the first time in their original form and order. A historic-critical evaluation of all relevant sources yields newinformation regarding the composer's intentions, the printing process and the works' reception. Furthermore, the edition includes a reconstruction of an earlier version that has not been published until now. This edition is gearedtowards musicologists, as well as professional musicians and amateurs with a keen interest in early music.
