Love's Theme is an instrumental piece recorded by Barry White's Love Unlimited Orchestra and was released in 1973 as a single.

Billboard ranked it as the No. 3 song for 1974. The piece was included on two albums: 1973's Under the Influence of... Love Unlimited and 1974's Rhapsody in White by Love Unlimited Orchestra.

📀💿 Recorded on: “POP SELECTION FOR CONCERT BAND”, The Slovenian Police Band, Peter Kleine Schaars 

The powerful, dynamic number Gospel John, by the versatile American composer, producer and music educator Jeff Steinberg, is known in particular through performances by Maynard Ferguson. In his version it seemed as if a typical Afro-American preacher ascended the pulpit and impassioned an enthusiastic congregation with his fiery plea. This exciting arrangement by Lorenzo Bocci has the same compelling temperament and adds an energetic touch to any concert.

Grade: 2,5 - Concert Band

Localizzato a nord-ovest dell’Oceano Pacifico, all’interno della depressione oceanica meglio nota come Fossa delle Marianne, si trova l’abisso più profondo al mondo: il Challenger Deep. È uno dei posti più misteriosi e inaccessibili del pianeta che, essendo situato a 10.902 metri sotto il livello del mare, supera di circa 2000 metri l’altezza del monte Everest. Il 23 gennaio 1960, l’oceanografo Jacques Piccard e il tenente di vascello Don Walsh, a bordo del batiscafo Trieste, riuscirono nella rischiosa impresa di raggiungere quelle oscurità sconosciute. Per la discesa furono impiegate 4 ore e 48 minuti e per il ritorno alla superficie 3 ore e 17 minuti: un lasso di tempo ben definito ma che fu da loro percepito come un’eternità. I due uomini rimasero sul fondo dell’oceano per circa venti minuti durante i quali il batiscafo venne sottoposto ad una pressione mille volte superiore a quella registrata sulla superficie del mare. Pensavano non fosse possibile la vita laggiù, nel buio più totale. Accendendo i fari del Trieste, invece, furono molto sorpresi di scorgere dall’oblò un gambero e una particolare specie di sogliola, vaganti in un deserto di sabbia bianca. Il brano vuol descrivere questa leggendaria spedizione attraverso quattro sezioni che si susseguono senza soluzione di continuità: The Ocean raffigura l’immensa distesa del mare, The Mariana Trench la discesa all’interno della fossa oceanica, Abysses le tenebre delle profondità marine, Towards the Sky la risalita in superficie alla luce del sole. Un’impresa intrepida e straordinaria mai più ripetuta. L’uomo è salito migliaia di volte sulla vetta dell’Everest; sei volte ha messo piede sul suolo lunare. Piccard e Walsh, invece, restano gli unici esseri umani che hanno raggiunto il punto più estremo della terra, il Challenger Deep.

Nel vasto repertorio medioevale assistiamo spesso ad un processo di elaborazione definito contrafactum, che vede l'uso di melodie profane alle quali vengono adattati testi sacri: è il caso di Fulget Dies, melodia trovadorica trasformata in una lode alla Vergine. Questo arrangiamento di Donato Semeraro prende spunto dall'antico tema e ci riporta alle sorprendenti sonorità dei Carmina Burana.

The Exodus Song
With bariton, satb or tbb
The movie picture 'Exodus' by film director Otto Preminger with Paul Newman in the cast is based on a novel with the same title by Leon Uris. The title-song (with lyrics by Pat Boone) survived the film, as is often the case, and has been performed by great artists and has also been arranged several times

The Wonderful Rockmachine
Michel van Delft has published quite less than his alter ego's Ted Huggens and Henk van Lijnschooten. His compositions are meant for and adapted to youth bands and this is also the case with « The Wonderful Rockmachine ». It is a gentle swinging rock tune, with some small and easy drum solos.
