Espirit (Concert Band - Score and Parts)

This composer has a knack of writing for young band that sets him apart from the others. He proves it again with this cute ``country'' tune. All sections have a chance to ``get down'' with the percussion doing their thing.

Esta Noche (Trumpet Solo or Soprano & Choir with Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Rutter, John - Noble, Paul

This folk-carol is known throughout the Spanish-speaking world for its melody and dance-like spirit. John Rutter's arrangement captures this perfectly, pairing soloist and chorus, with exuberance and fun. This arrangement adheres to the original orchestration by John Rutter, for Solo Soprano and chorus, but also offers the option of a delightful showcase for Solo Trumpet and band.

Esurientes (from Magnificat) (Concert Band with Optional Choir - Score and Parts) - Rutter, John - Noble, Paul

Magnificat anima mea (My soul doth magnify The Lord) is the first of seven movements comprising John Rutter's setting of the biblical canticle Magnifica, completed in 1990. Rutter was inspired by jubilant celebrations of Mary in Hispanic cultures and conceived the work as a bright Latin-flavoured fiesta. In countries such as Spain, Mexico and Puerto Rico, feast days of the Virgin are joyous opportunities to take to the streets and celebrate with singing, dancing and processions. This arrangement for combined Concert Band and Chorus may also be performed by band alone, and is a faithful representation of the original composition.

Et in terra Pax (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Van der Roost, Jan

This piece was commissioned by the Concert Band Vlamertinge and is a plea for peace: the title translates as Peace on Earth. This is expressed by means of the vocal contribution expected from the performers. In various places of the piece you can recognize, the words Et In Terra Pax, an appeal for peace, at first jumbled together but later more rhythmically structured, developing into synchronized massed voices. The work starts with a pentatonic theme based on the notes D, E, G, A and C (taken from 'ConCErtbAnD VlAmErtinGE' and the name of the conductor, NiCk VAnDEnDriessChe). A somewhat sad melody is developed during an orchestral climax which leads to the first explosion of sound (measure 62 onwards). Suddenly the opening measures are recaptured, albeit with a differently coloured sound: the words Et in Terra Pax bring the first movement to a close. A restless Allegro follows which abruptly stops and is replaced by a calming chorale-like passage. A narrator reads aloud the poem 'Sonnet' by the young poet Charles Hamilton Sorley, who was killed during World War I. This poem fittingly puts into words the cruelty and senselessness of war. After the expanded recapitulation of the allegro, the broad, almost infinite atmosphere of the beginning returns. Clarinet and English horn play the pentatonic opening theme once more, this time broadly, while the words Et in Terra Pax are repeated again and again by the rest of the ensemble. The composer has purposely avoided all forms of aggression and bombastic sounds regularly used in works about war. Fear of violence and destruction can be heard and felt during the allegro passages. The charged opening makes way in the end for hope: May peacefulness replace cruelty in everyday life, too.Duration: 13:45
