Town of the Seven Hills : Suite for Concert Band

Town of the Seven Hills : Suite for Concert Band

This 4-movement suite tells the story of the beautiful French town ‘Tulle’ that was built on seven hills, just like Rome and Lisbon. The composer depicts the history of the town, as well as important events such as the bloodbath during World War II, the fabric ‘tulle’ after which the town is named and the festive annual fair. Since Tulle is also known for the production of accordions, the composer added an ‘ad libitum’ accordion part. A really charming and stylish concert or contest work!

Centennial Prelude

Centennial Prelude

This short opening music was composed on commission of the symphonic band of Jan Van der Roost's village (= Kontich near Antwerp / Belgium). In 1991, this community band celebrated its 100th anniversary. After composing commissioned pieces from different countries (even from Japan), this was the most 'near' commission he ever received indeed!It is a short but varied piece, featuring all sections of the band. After a short introduction, played by the brass instruments, a crisp rhythm starts and boxes the main theme. After a second theme, played by brass and percussion, a short melodical passage brings some 'rest'. At the end, the fanfare of the introductionreoccurs.Although this "Centennial Prelude" isn't a really demanding piece, it sounds colourful and energetic. It has been recorded on CD by the band of the 'Royal Dutch Airforce' and the 'Desford Colliery Brass band'.

Town of the Seven Hills : Suite for Brass Ensemble and Percussion

Town of the Seven Hills : Suite for Brass Ensemble and Percussion

This suite tells the story of the French town ‘Tulle’ in the ‘Nouvelle-Aquitaine’. Tulle was built on seven hills, just like Rome and Lisbon, and is beautifully situated on the river Corrèze. The first movement opens with a stately introduction, which is followed by a historic march through the streets of Tulle. We pass Notre Dame cathedral and the characteristic houses from the Middle Ages and Renaissance period, i.e. the ‘Maison de Loyac’. Tulle was once the centre of the production of ‘tulle’, a net-like fabric that is named after this town. This is what the second movement is all about, and at certain moments the music sounds very graceful because tulle is often used as a material for ballet skirts and wedding dresses. The third movement was written to commemorate the blood bath of Tulle in June 1944. During a retaliatory action by the German SS, a large number of Tulle’s citizens were killed. The emotions expressed here are a combination of grief and comfort. In the last movement, the festive sounds of the annual fair held in May on the ‘Champs de Mars’ and the ‘Place de la Cathédrale’, can be heard.
