| 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す。本作は彼による吹奏楽作品でミュージカル『ダンス』の楽曲を基に、管楽器各パートの特色を活かした編曲がなされています。明快で躍動的な旋律とリズムにより、管楽器群の掛け合いやハーモニーの彩りが際立ち、演奏会で聴衆に楽しさと親しみやすさを伝えます。教育的要素も含まれ、演奏者が各声部の音色や役割を理解しながら音楽表現を学べる一曲です。 (出版社のオリジナル解説) In “Meet the Orchestra”, you are introduced to the various instruments of the wind band. The whole band plays the constantly-recurring refrain, while the following instruments perform solos in the foreground during the interludes: 1) the flute, double reeds (oboe, bassoon and cor anglais) and contrabass 2) the saxophones (alto and tenor) and clarinets (B-flat and bass) 3) the brass instruments (trumpet, horn, trombone, euphonium and bass tuba) 4) piano, percussion and harp For the last refrain, we once again hear these four groups, playing one after the other, and building to a majestic tutti. The melody of the refrain is deliberately kept simple so that novice musicians can sing or play (on any type of instrument) along with it. The piece, which was commissioned by the music publisher Photo Music International, was originally written for symphony orchestra. |
