£141.60Stjernen og Rosa - John Philip Hannevik
The Star and a Rose is a big-scale Christmas piece for band, featuring four seasonal chorales.The first is a Gregorian-like chant Hodie Christus natus est.In this section of the piece, a soloist can be placed away from the band, maybe on a gallery. The soloist can be a tenor instrument, maybe trombone, or you can feature a vocal soloist.After this, the music leads us on to the old German Christmas chorale Lo, how a rose e'er blooming. This song is given a fairly rhythmical treatment, but make sure that the melody is presented in a cantabile style.An interlude follows, before the piece presents one of the most used and loved Scandinavian Christmas chorales, Mitt hjerte alltid vanker (My Heart will always wander), composed by the Danish bishop Hans Adolph Brorson around 1732. This song is building towards a climax, before the solo horn brings it all down to the Stable view described in the lyrics.Then comes a transition that brings us in to the final section of the piece, which presents the international Christmas Carol Adeste Fideles. As many will notice, I have borrowed a section from David Wilcocks majestic harmonization towards the end.The title of the piece has its background form the lyrics in My heart will always wander, where the text speaks about the stars in the sky. But also in the latin text for Adeste Fideles:Stella duce, Magi, Christum adorantesThe Rose is of course from the lyrics in the chorale Lo, how a Rose.

Glistening chords, soaring melodies, broad fanfares and gorgeous chorales will fill your concert hall with this evocative work. Best of all, From Gold sounds much harder than it actually is.

Written entirely in B-flat with few accidentals, the runs are split between instruments for playability, and parts are doubled/cued to buildconfidence. Young bands will sound mature, and mature bands will be breathtaking. Dur: 4:35

Heart Songs - David Maslanka
Heart Songs, another stunning piece by one of the most important writers of music for wind ensemble and band, takes its title from the image of the tree of life being "watered" by the blood of the heart. Like all of Maslanka's music, it is deeply felt and reflective in nature. The three movements of this suite embrace a variety of serious moods, movements two and three use familiar Bach chorales as the basis for unusually rich and original band writing at the highest musical level.
