Vittorio Monti was born on January 6 1868 in Naples (Italy). His musical education (violin and composition) he enjoyed at the conservatory there. Around his 30's Monti went to Paris. He earned a living as a conductor and wrote several ballets and operettas. In his last years Monti died in 1922 he devoted himself to teaching and composing. His famous Czardas has made his name known even today. Initially the czardas was a Hungarian folk dance but after the mid-nineteenth century it was even a dance for the upper-class. Czardas begins with a slow introduction the Lassan (slow and sad) and then the fast part Friska follows. Czardas is not as somany people think typical gypsy music.

Opera in 3 acts Text: Meredith Oakes after Shakespeare-The opera The Tempest is inspired by Shakespeare’s play rather than literally being based on every aspect of it. There are key images from the play as well as new material. From among the play’s many themes and possible interpretations the opera focusses on the difficulty and the necessity of mercy. The libretto uses contemporary vocabulary. Its lines are short rhythmic and rhymed or semi-rhymed echoing Shakespeare’s strophic songs more than his blank verse. This choice reflects the play’s magical ritual childlike elements and acknowledges the traditional power of incantation in song. The operatic Prospero is the passionately vengeful man seen in the play more than the wise disconnected actor also seen there. Despite his near-omnipotence he finds things out as he goes along and experiences contradictory emotions to the end. Please note: Full Score and Parts are rental material.

The 20 bands at the Royal Albert Hall will perform Simon Dobsons evocative portrait of Hungarian composer Bela Bartok - whose own journey in life was marked by a sense of isolation and singularity. Journey of the Lone Wolf was commissioned by Prof Nicholas Childs in 2013 for the Black Dyke Band and received its UK premiere at the 2014 Festival of Brass. It has subsequently been used as a set-work as well as own-choice selection throughoutthe banding world. The composition explores the complexities of a troubled soul; from Bartoks work in recording the disappearing folk songs and musical culture of the Balkans to his loveless isolation in America and rather cold fascination with jazz. He was repulsed by the evils of fascism yet was unable to develop or maintain relationships even with those who shared his political and cultural outlook. He died a lonely man isolated and almost forgotten - his funeral attended by a handful ofpeople. Journey of the Lone Wolf tells the story of the hungarian composer Béla Bartok. It was commissioned by Dr. Nicholas Childs for Black Dyke Band who gave the first performance on Sunday 26 January 2014 at the Bridgewater Hall Manchester as part of the Royal Northern College of Music Festival of Brass. The composer's programme notes for each movement: 1. Capturing the Peasants Song After the upheaval of moving to Budapest the young Béla Bartok meets Zoltan Kodaly and the pair embark on summertime adventures throughout the Hungarian countryside to collect and catalogue theastonishing variety (both harmonically and rhythmically) of gypsy and folk music heard in the Balkans. The arrival of WW1 plunges Bartok's beloved Hungary into chaos. 2. Night Music Bartok was at times a cold man aloof and lonely. The odd moments of tenderness he showed are portrayed here in a series of evocative solos. His brief but intense affairs speak of a love he could only long for. Jazz is my night music and here there are hints of what Bartok may have heard in the USA later in his life. 3. Flight and Fight Having been forced by the world's evils to leave his homeland of Hungary for America Bartok the anti-fascist felt isolated and angry. In this movement we hear his longing for a simpler time of gypsy folk dances as well as his maturity and depth as a composer finally exploring deeper colours and darker themes.
