Handel in the Band

乐队中的亨德尔 "是亨德尔最著名的键盘舞曲之一--根据西班牙传统舞蹈 La Folia 改编的 D 小调组曲 HWV 437 中的 Sarabande 的交响变奏曲。肯尼思-唐尼的这部作品是铜管乐队 Treize Etoiles 委托詹姆斯-古雷（James Gourlay）在 2013 年瑞士国家铜管乐队锦标赛上演奏的。标题参考了珀西-格兰杰（Percy Grainger）广受欢迎的《亨德尔在斯特兰德》（Handel in the Strand），体现了音乐的诙谐性和戏剧性，与传统的比赛曲目相比更具趣味性，因此给铜管乐队带来了不同的挑战，也给观众带来了无穷的乐趣

原文简介:
Handel in the Band is a virtuoso set of symphonic variations on one of Handel’s best known keyboard dances, the Sarabande from his Suite in D minor, HWV 437, based on the Spanish traditional dance La Folia. Kenneth Downie’s work was commissioned by Brass Band Treize Etoiles, for performance at the 2013 Swiss National Brass Band Championships, where it was conducted by James Gourlay. The title is a reference to Percy Grainger’s popular Handel in the Strand, and is indicative of the witty and theatrical nature of the music, which is more playful than conventional competition pieces and as such offers different challenges to brass bands as well as being thoroughly entertaining for audiences. Kenneth Downie is one of the most respected and experienced brass band composers. His music has been widely performed and published throughout the brass band world since the 1960s. Handel in the Band has been selected as the set work for the Championship Section final of this year’s National Brass Band Championships of Great Britain, which takes place at the Royal Albert Hall, London, on 6th October 2018.
