130211BA5A2E-8F8E-48D5-8017-F3C60DEF0B78B391302French Masters SuiteThe rhythm of the dance animates this Suite arranged by Philip Gordon, reflecting the carefree, light-hearted spirit of the French court during the reign of Louis XIV and Louis XV. All three composers here represented--Couperin (1668-1733), La Coste (ca. 1700-1750) and Rameau (1683-1764)--were contemporaries of Bach and Handel.
The Rigaudon is a lively dance, characterized by a jumping step that made it quite popular. It was danced in the American Colonies as well as in Europe. The Sarbande is a rather slow dance of Spanish origin; it is calm and staid, putting emphasis on the melody. The Gavotte is a very animated dance, with strongly marked accents; it, too, was very poular and frequently used on gala occasions.		Concert Band

130411BCDB8E-5357-4D85-A643-6319120D408FB309702Il Guarany OvertureThe opera "II Guarany" was produced with great success at La Scala in Milan on March 17, 1870. Giuseppe Verdi wrote that the opera was the work of a "true musical genius." Although the style and libretto are Italian, the plot is from a novel by José de Alencar depicting a love affair between an Amazon Indian chief and one of the despised Portuguese colonists. Gomez utilizes several of the tribal melodies in the opera. The arrangement by Herbert L. Clarke was presumably completed in time for a recording made by members of the Sousa Band, conducted by Arthur Pryor, on August 21, 1903. The themes of the overture are largely drawn from the opera itself, and each has its place in the action.Concert Band
130511BFA97F-BC57-4507-B4C0-2098A9FDDBC960710004KaddischMaurice Ravel (1875-1937) originally wrote DEUX MÉLODIES HÉBRAÏQUES (TWO HEBREW SONGS) for voice and piano for soprano Alvina Alvi, who premiered the two songs in June of 1914. While both songs include French text, the first and more popular song, KADDISCH (Holy), is also in Aramaic, while the second song, L'ÉNIGME ÉTERNELLE (THE ETERNAL RIDDLE), is in Yiddish. Ravel orchestrated both for voice and orchestra in 1920, and many other transcriptions, particularly of KADDISCH, have followed over the years. This transcription by the French composer and arranger Lucien Garban put KADDISCH into the violin repertoire, where it finds regular performance.Violin and Piano

130711C2A06A-173B-416B-B82F-09D52A4124F5M808390NimrodMore popularly known as the Enigma Variations, Elgar's orchestral concept was a work with fourteen variations on an original theme. Composed between the months of October, 1898, and February, 1899, Elgar used each variation to in some way capture an image, incident, or idea that specifically referenced his friends.String Orchestra
130811C702A3-C079-472B-B4C6-89BEF78BB55DM364291Ondulando, Op. 31ONDULANDO, which translates to "wavy" from the Brazilian Portuguese, perfectly describes the musical contour of this work, both in terms of the larger phrases and smaller measure to measure writing for the performer. Subtitled "Estudo" (study), this work is a beautiful work to add addition to any pianists repertoire.Solo Piano

131011C9C6D6-4BB4-467F-9D2C-6A445D0F251A50432002Duke Street VariantsThis is an English Hymn tune first published in 1783. It became so popular with the colonists in America that it seems to be an integral part of our musical past as well. This arrangement consists of a statement of the tune and two contrasting variations with brief interludes in between each of them. Keys are C and F Major; the low range in the 3rd part is low C plus an optional Bb, and the high range in part one is high F. This trio is a must for any band director lucky enough to have three bassoon players, and if this one works well there is one more trio to get: Old English Songs.Bassoon 1, 2 and 3

131211ce96be-9e3b-11f0-a418-0022482c9682M234191Symphony No. 2 in E minor, Op. 20French organist and composer Louis Vierne (1870-1937) was a student of César Franck and Charles-Marie Widor and worked as the organist for Notre-Dame de Paris from 1900 until his death, which took place on the organ bench at a recital. He composed many works for organ, among them six organ symphonies and a Messe solennelle for chorus and two organs. His six symphonies express the highs and lows of his personal life, and all are written in minor keys. Vierne's Organ Symphony No. 2, Op. 20, is in E minor. Movements: I. Allegro; II. Choral; III. Scherzo; IV. Cantabile; V. Final.Organ Solo
131311D410B9-7C4F-43A0-9471-0876C099632420624554KnockturneThe title, KNOCKTURNE, was suggested by James Berlyoung, director of bands at Midview High School in Grafton, Ohio. Upon hearing the title with its unusual spelling, the composer immediately thought of the rhythm pattern he used when knocking on a door. This made the door bell and door knocker essential instruments and the work virtually wrote itself. It was first performed by the Midview Middle School Percussion Ensemble in March, 1989.Door Knocker, Wood Blocks, Whip / Door Bell, and Claves
