Hymne a la Musique Serge Lancen

Titel / Title: Hymne a la Musique
Komponist / Composer: Serge Lancen
Instrumentation: Concert Band

This hymn, written in 1970 and published in 1971, is dedicated to the youth of the famous 'Banda Primitiva' of Lliria (Spain), an outstanding symphonic band that has welcomed Serge Lancen many times. The composer performed as a soloist with this prestigious band and was made an honorary member of their society. The Banda Primitiva, conducted by José Maria Malato Ruiz, premiered the Hymne à la Musique at a concert in Lliria on 23 October 1972. This tribute to music is one of Lancen's easiest compositions, yet it is a little jewel based on a simple theme introduced by the clarinets and the saxophones. The tune develops slowly and, by means of a crescendo, ends in a culminating point bringing together all musicians.

Cet hymne, écrit en 1970 et édité en 1971, est dédié à la jeunesse de la célèbre 'Banda Primitiva 'de Lliria (Espagne), une société de musique qui a accueilli plusieurs fois Serge Lancen. Le compositeur a d'ailleurs joué en soliste avec ce fabuleux orchestre d'harmonie dont il a été fait membre d'honneur. Cette prestigieuse formation a créé l'hymne lors d'un concert à Lliria sous la direction de José Maria Malato Ruiz le 23 octobre 1972. Cet hommage à la musique, l'une des compositions les plus faciles de Serge Lancen, est un petit joyau basé sur un thème tout simple, présenté par les clarinettes et les saxophones. La mélodie se développe lentement et, à travers un crescendo, s'épanouit vers le point culminant réunissant tous les musiciens de l'orchestre.
