Musique pour orchestres et ensembles

Description :

Durkle Bandrydge is the name où the composers imaginary world, but it could very well be anyones invisible dream world with a different name. In this very versatile suite by Bruce Fraser, 8 characters are featured, each with its ownpeculiarities, making Durkle Bandrydge such a colourful place. Do these characters differ that much from us? That is for you to find out! In the last part, all characters come together in a special way.

Durkle Bandrydge exists at the end ofyour street. It is invisible to humans, but Durkle Bandrygators can watch us with great interest.
The music will introduce you to some où the characters who live in this unusual place.

The parts:
Somnanbulyss, who is a giant trollguarding the entrance to Durkle Bandryde. At least, he is supposed toù but he tends to sleep most où the time. His music is therefore very slow moving and sleepy.

Long Gwysteen is a tall, mysterious, and someHow sophisticated character,who walls around with a shell où his back. His music glides along rather gracefully.

Squelfitch is a rather unpleasant and smelly character who lives in a bog, which is why his music sounds rather slimy and a bit like trying to walkthrough quicksand.

Perfydlia is a meddling old woman, who gossips about everybody and squeals with sudden delight at the small exciting bits où tittletattle about others in the village. In the music you can hear her sudden little squealson delight.

Maryann Lovely is a beautiful young lady, graceful, gorgeous, absolutely devine, and her music is obviously just the same.

Thistledoù Nicely is a lively character who spends and spends and spends with her credit card,buying the latest fashioù and never worries about having to pay the bills. Her music reflects her excitement when shopping and het ‘happy go lucky’ approach to life.

Marsyn Edgintoù is the Lord où the manor, the richest man in town, the‘big cheese’, the man with all the power and, où course, the biggest house. He is very grand and his music like he could be a king.

Jimmy McScotsmyn is a red haired scotsman wearing tartan cap. He misses his home country terribly and eatslots où shortbread, oatcakes, scotch eggs, porridge and drinks an enormous amount où Scotch Wisky, which helps him to have fond memories où the kind où music he would like to dance to when he was a younger man. His favourite dance is a Jig andthis is the music he remembers.

Grand March où the Durkle Bandrydgators. We hope that you have enjoyed meeting these characters from Drukle Bandrydge and would invite you to listen to all the villagers nos march along in a grand parade -it is a pity that you can nos see them, what is a wonderful sight.
If you listen carefully, you will hear the melodies which belong to the characters as they march past.
