Adagio for Winds - Jan Van der Roost

Adagio for Winds is similar in atmosphere to the well-known Canterbury Chorale (also by Jan Van der Roost), in that it has no exaggerated melodrama, but rather a melodically wide and expressive approach. The work is full of beautiful lyrical melodies and the warm harmony and the full orchestration give the audience and the band the chance to give their thoughts free reign in a contemplative atmosphere. Adagio is a wonderfully uplifting work suitable for concerts on all occasions and is certainly not one to be missed.

Adagio From Clarinetconcerto In D - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Adagio From Clarinetconcerto In Eb - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Despite his short life, Mozart (1756-1791) wrote more than 600 works. The general public is probably mostly familiar with his symphonies and operas. However, his numerous piano concertos are incredibly popular and are played often. In addition, he also wrote one concerto for clarinet, with the world-famous slow middle section. George Moreau has made a faithful arrangement of this piece so you can put your soloist in the spotlight. This work consists of two versions, the original (4 sharps) and an easier part with only one flat for the soloist.
