Program Notes
Composition for concert band, well suited to play on any festive occasion with a slightly serious undertone. Also very useful as an opener.
This composition by Peter Habraken dates from 2019 and is rich in melodic ideas.
Two main themes - the most important melodies in this piece - form the musical fundament of this work, and are contrasting by nature: the first one sounds fanfare-like and majestic, the second one more restrained, like a hymn.
When the hymn reappears in another key, it is elaborated in a polyphonic manner: more and more instruments join in, playing the same melody in imitation. Together the musicians build the piece towards a glowing conclusion.
This composition is exceptionally well suited to play on any festive occasion with a slightly serious undertone. Also very useful as an opener.
Note to the performer: In case you would need a shorter opener for your program, it is recommended to start from “M”. Only the first main theme is then elaborated, reducing the length of the piece from 6:15 to 2:10.
