| 解説 | ベルト・アッペルモントは吹奏楽や管弦楽作品で知られる現代オランダの作曲家で、本作は彼による吹奏楽作品です。「ヒーローズ・テール」は勇者の冒険譚を音楽で描き、壮大で力強い旋律と躍動感あるリズムが特徴です。管楽器群の掛け合いや巧みな和声の変化により物語性とドラマチックな表現が際立ちます。演奏会で聴衆に勇壮さと高揚感を伝え、英雄譚の世界観を音楽的に体感できる、技巧と表現力を兼ね備えた一曲です。 (出版社のオリジナル解説） This composition is based on the life of the German cavalry general Hans Michael Elias von Obentraut (1574-1625)， who was known for his nerve， loyalty and courage. The figure Van Obentraut is closely connected to the town of Seelze， where he died a heroic death and where a monument was erected in his honour. The work consists of four movements in which various aspects of this historical figure are featured. What is extra special about this work is the fact that its first movement (Hymn for a Hero) had been made available as an easy version for flexible band. This makes it possible for a youth or beginner band to play along with a band of adults or advanced players. This hymn can also be played as a separate piece. |
