You take your place in an aeroplane and wait expectantly for the motors to spark into life and for the plane to taxi onto the runway. Then it’s full throttle and with a roar of the engines you leave everything behind you. Below the world is in miniature you thrill at the freedom of flying high and take in the spectacular drama of the clouds. It’s moments such as these that Daniel Weinberger has captured in music in Take Off .

During his short lifetime Max Reger (1873-1916) was a prolific composer with many of his best known works being composed for organ. The ten chorale preludes in this selection are from his set of Thirty Short Chorale Preludes Op.135a composed as short voluntaries for liturgical use rather than for recitals in these arrangements Philip Sparke has kept this in mind and each prelude can be performed with minimal instrumentation for those occasions where a small band is needed. They also make great pieces for band warm-ups or studies in intonation sound and balance.

Overture-In 1786 Mozart composed his wonderful opera Le Nozze di Figaro (KV 492). The Italian libretto based on the play Le mariage de Figaro by Beaumarchais was written by Lorenzo da Ponte—who also made the libretti of Mozart’s opera’s Don Giovanni and Così fan tutte. In the opera Le Nozze di Figaro Count Almaviva tries to seduce the fiancée of Figaro his valet. Eventually through four acts full of complicated intrigue he is outwitted. In his music Mozart—at times in a humorous way—reflects the numerous social and erotic intrigues with both empathy and insight. The brilliant overture is just as vivacious and witty as the opera itself. Mozart delightfullyanticipates the passion and playful love that is to come. The skillful transcription for concert band by Tohru Takahashi certainly does justice to this appealing music.

Chorale Fantasy on How lovely shines the Morning Star-This composition is based on the beautiful chorale melody Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern (How beautifully the morning star shines). Like the chorale fantasias by Bach and Buxtehude this is a fantasia in which the original theme is used and altered throughout the work in various ways. Slow passages are alternated with fast ones and finally a grand tutti arrives in which the original chorale theme sounds joyfully in a majestic finale. For extra colour and dimension an optional organ part has been added that can be used when the circumstances are appropriate. On the full score the various organ entries are indicated.
