About this arrangement

Concert Band - Grade 5 SKU: BT.EMBZ14913 Composed by Istvan Gyorffy. EMB Concert Band Series. Concert Piece. Score Only. Composed 2014. 60 pages. Editio Musica Budapest #EMBZ14913. Published by Editio Musica Budapest (BT.EMBZ14913). Hungarian-style dance music which flourished in the 16th and 17th centuries - generally referred to as ungaresca - represents a valuable part of European musical tradition. István Gy rffy's work (2007-2010) is a late successor of this tradition. It was written with the intention of embodying the eastern-central European tradition in order to present an alternative to the current fashions of music for wind instruments. The composer's approach to this style utilizes traditional forms of music. Both the first and third movements effectively optimize a concert band's tonal possibilities by using solos and small chamber groups in a varied manner. The slow and melodic second movementtransfers a characteristic playing technique of Hungarian instrumental folk music to the concert band. István Gy rffy composed Ungaresca for young people preparing for careers in music. The work provides an excellent opportunity for students not only to display their instrumental skills, but also to gain orchestral playing experience.

Jahrhundert aufblühende ungarische oder von ungarischer Färbung geprägte Tanzmusik, die man üblicherweise unter dem Sammelbegriff Ungaresca kennt, dar. István Gy rffys zwischen 2007 und 2010 komponiertes, typisch ungarisch intoniertes Werk stellt sozusagen eine späte Fortsetzung dieser Tradition dar und entstand mit der unverkennbaren Absicht den gegenwärtigen Moden der Blasmusik eine einheimische, osteuropäisch anmutende Alternative gegenüberzustellen. Diese Tongebung bringt der Komponist über traditionelle musikalische Formen zum Ausdruck. Sowohl der in Sonatenform verfasste I. Satz als auchder III. Satz in Form eines Sonatenrondos schöpfen eindrucksvoll die vielfältigen Klangfarbenmöglichkeiten eines Blasorchesters durch den mannigfaltigen Einsatz der Soli und der kleinen Kammermusikgruppen, die auch die Oberflächen der Form exponieren, aus.
