Johan de Meij’s first symphony The Lord of the Rings is based on the trilogy of that name by J.R.R. Tolkien. This book has fascinated many millions of readers since its publication in 1955. The symphony consists of five separate movements each illustrating a personage or an important episode from the book. The first movement is a musical portrait of the wizard Gandalf one of the principal characters of the trilogy. His wise and noble personality is expressed by a stately motif which is used in a different form in movements IV and V. The sudden opening of the Allegro vivace is indicative of the unpredictability of the grey wizard followed by a wild rideon his beautiful horse “Shadowfax”. Winner of the Sudler International Wind Band Composition prize in 1989 this is one of the most popular works for wind bands around the world. Wind Band score and parts.

A lot is known about the American composer Leroy Anderson. This son of Swedish immigrants played the piano organ accordion trombone tuba and double bass. He spoke several languages fluently and graduated from Harvard with first-class honours.While on military service the army also commissioned him to write a manual on Icelandic grammar.He already started writing musical arrangements as a student and from his 30th year arranged and composed for the Boston Pops Orchestra. Such melodiesas Serenata The Typewriter Sleigh Ride and Bugler�s Holiday made him world famous. His best-known work Blue Tango reached number one in the US charts in 1952 and it sold more than a million copies. In 1975 a year after hisdeath he was given a star at the Walk of Fame in Hollywood.Most of his works last no longer than three minutes about the maximum length of a single at that time. One work that lasts longer is his 1953 Piano Concerto in C for piano and orchestra.The first performance was in Chicago conducted by the composer and with Eugene List at the piano. However after three performances he was no longer happy with the work and withdrew it. He always intended to revise it but never got round to it. Itwas only in 1989 that the Anderson family decided to republish the work.This three-part composition is on the one hand characterised by a careless elegance but on the other one can hear the influence of Rachmaninoff Copland Gershwin and evenBeethoven and Mozart as well as the Viennese classics.Anderson used the sonata form for the first movement. It ends with a cadenza that carries us on into the second part (in e minor). The third part is a typically cheerful American folk dance in2/4 time a so-called Hoe Down with a lilting lyrical passage as its middle section. At the end comes a solo passage followed by a rapid close.In this piano concerto Anderson combines a rigidly classical form of composition with simple andappealing themes and elements from light music. So this work is a perfect synthesis of light music and what is called serious music in the same way as Gershwin�s Rhapsody in Blue. A work that can be played equally well in a concerthall at an open-air concert or even a pop concert.
