About this arrangement

Concert Band - Grade 4.5 SKU: BT.DHP-1002068-040 Composed by Jan Van der Roost. Sovereign Series. Concert Piece. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 2000. De Haske Publications #DHP 1002068-040. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-1002068-040). This concert overture, which has the air of a symphonic poem, takes its inspiration from an ancient Roman bridge. A massive introduction, a threatening allegro and alternating virtuoso and chorale themes quickly succeed each other. Trombones and trumpets introduce a rhythmical theme which develops throughout all instrument groups. The allegro is characterised by a quasi-obsessive cadence which depicts a Roman army constantly beating time. Ponte Romano est une œuvre de commande pour l’Orchestre d’Harmonie de Pont-Saint-Martin (Val d’Aoste). De l’immensité des montagnes environnantes se détache l’imposant pont romain du village. Cet édifice, vieux de plus de quinze siècles, a été la principale source d’inspiration du compositeur pour la création de cette ouverture qui, structurée selon le principe de la musique programme, fait davantage penser un poème symphonique. L’œuvre est dense, virtuose et d’une régularité rythmique qui rappelle le pas cadencé d’une armée romaine.
