En 2007 Dirk Brossé compose Il Signor Brossini (Monsieur Brossini) à l’occasion du 70e anniversaire de son père. Il fait de la mélodie du célébrissime Happy Birthday (Joyeux anniversaire) le fil conducteur de son œuvre. Divers petits fragments successifs brossent le caractère de “Monsieur Brossini” : tantôt héroïque tantôt impressionniste et romantique parfois passionné et fougueux mais aussi fragile et émouvant et toujours avec humour.La mélodie de la chanson Happy Birthday a été composée par deux sœurs américaines Patty et Mildred J. Hill en 1893 lorsqu’elles enseignaient à Louisville dans le Kentucky. En 1990 cette mélodie fut vendueaux éditions Warner Chappell pour la coquette somme de quinze millions de dollars.D’après le Livre Guinness des Records Happy Birthday est l’air le plus chanté de tous les temps. Les orchestrations sont multiples et couvrent une pléiade de combinaisons instrumentales. Quant au texte il a été traduit dans presque toutes les langues. Si le titre Il Signor Brossini fait référence au brillant compositeur italien Gioacchino Rossini il rappelle également les origines italiennes de la famille Brossé.

The eight sonatas of Guilmant may well lay claim to classical rank. Originally conceived for the French organs of Cavaille-Col they are sufficiently broad in conception as to lose little if anything in their interpretation on English and American instruments. At the time of their composition (1874-1909) they brought to the Organ a new sense which had been too little cultivated by organists. This volume is edited by A. Eaglefield Hull and contains the First Sonata in D Minor Op.42 Second Sonata In D Major Op.50 Third Sonata In C Minor Op.56 Fourth Sonata In D Minor Op.61 and the Fifth Sonata In C Minor Op.80 .

Bohemian Rhapsody was a massive worldwide hit for the pop group Queen. It topped the charts in 1975 and again in 1991 and 1992. The song is somewhat unusual for a pop hit as it is in the style of a rock opera and pushed the boundaries of both pop music and promotional music video. This arrangement for concert band retains all the operatic gymnastics of the original and will be an extremely popular item at any concert!

De nombreux chefs on ajouté une excellente routine à leurs séances de répétition en effectuant un travail préliminaire sur le son. Certains utilisent un choral d’autres choisissent une pièce solennelle du répertoire profane. Après avoir effectué ce travail préliminaire la répétition suit son schéma habituel : l’étude des œuvres au programme.Si vous souhaitez développer la structuration rythmique de votre formation chaque semaine insérer une étude de rythme après la phase de travail du son. Rhythmic Warm-ups (“Échauffement rythmique”) contient une série d’exercices efficaces pour toutes les formations quel que soit le niveau. En combinant les 10 pièces à cinqvoix (A à J) avec les 36 motifs rythmiques vous disposez de 360 exercices de rythme. Pour élargir votre champ d’action il vous suffit d’attribuer un motif rythmique différent à chacune des cinq voix (1-5). Si la ligne de basse (voix 5) joue un rythme unique les exercices se transforment en de petites pièces harmonieuses. Il est également possible de combiner les cinq voix avec des rythmes de votre choix (des rythmes extraits d’œuvres au programme par exemple).En exploitant des motifs rythmiques en croches régulières et des motifs en croches irrégulières (swing) vos musiciens se familiariseront avec toutes les facettes rythmiques de la musique pop. Le fait de disposer d’un même motif rythmique en 4/4 et en 12/8 permet de développer le sens du swing (même chez les musiciens les plus classiques !) en quelques séances seulement. La percussion peut accompagner les motifs rythmiques 1 à 24 avec des rythmes pop ou latino-américains à condition de jouer ces rythmes en croches régulières. Les motifs rythmiques 25 à 36 doivent être soutenus par un « groove » swing. Plusieurs exemples de motifs pour la percussion ont été insérés.Il est conseillé de terminer chaque exercice avec un point d’orgue (une ronde).Je vous souhaite à vous et à vos musiciens une pleine réussite et beaucoup de satisfaction dans l’utilisation des Rhythmic
