About this arrangement

Concert Band/Harmonie - Grade 4 SKU: BT.DHP-1094726-010 Composed by Anton Karas. Arranged by Toshio Mashima. New Sounds for Concert Band. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 2009. De Haske Publications #DHP 1094726-010. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-1094726-010). 9x12 inches.Anton Karas grew up in a modest household in Vienna and became a self taught zither vituoso. He wrote the legendary Harry Lime Theme for the 1949 British film noir The Third Man. The melody became so popular, many people began calling The Third Man “The Zither Movie”! Toshio Mashima carefully turns this typically Viennese melody into a creative piece for concert band. Anton Karas, der aus einfachen Wiener Verhältnissen stammte und es als Autodidakt zu großer Virtuosität an der Zither brachte, schrieb das legendäre "Harry-Lime-Thema“ für den Agentenfilm Der dritte Mann. Die Melodie war so populär, dass manche den Film gar "The Zither Film“ nannten. Toshio Mashima setzte die stimmungsvolle, typisch wienerische Melodie geschickt für Blasorchester um. Tout le monde se souvient du Troisième Homme (1949) et de cette étrange et fascinante musique qui fut la révélation du film. Anton Karas (1906-1985), son compositeur et interprète, traversa le monde du spectacle comme un véritable météore. Sa bande originale jouée la cithare lui apporta la gloire et la richesse. Le thème du film se classa durant onze semaines en tête des meilleures ventes de disques aux États-Unis entre avril et juillet 1950. Le film fut couronné du Grand prix du Festival de Cannes 1949 et de l’Oscar de la meilleure photographie 1951.Il film Il Terzo Uomo (1949) è ricordato anche per l’affascinante colonna sonora che fu una vera e propria rivelazione. Anton Karas (1906-1985), compositore ed interprete, attraversò il mondo dello spettacolo come una meteora. La colonna sonora originale, eseguita alla cetra, gli portò gloria e ricchezza. Il tema del film fu in vetta alle classifi che delle vendite di dischi negli Stati Uniti tra aprile e giugno 1950 e il film ottenne il massimo riconoscimento a Cannes (Grand Prix du Festival) nel 1949.
