Beriato Concert Works Series - Grade 4 - Duration: 11:30

Performed by The Royal Symphonic Band of the Belgian Air Force - Conductor Ivan Meylemans.

In 2025, the Stadtmusikkapelle Wilten celebrated its 375th anniversary and the Tiroler Blasmusikverband, its 100th anniversary. Century Variations was thus created as a joint commission and is a free fantasia on Heinrich Isaac's famous song, Innsbruck, ich muss dich lassen (Innsbruck, I Must Leave Thee). In addition to pulsating rhythms and a luminous flow of sound, this energetic concert work includes a beautiful, introverted Adagio featuring various solo instruments

Designed with both musical depth and educational value in mind, “Century Variations”  offers a rewarding challenge for musicians and audiences alike. Discover shifting textures, dramatic contrasts, and virtuosic solo passages that showcase the full potential of the wind ensemble. Perfect for high school honor bands, university ensembles, and ambitious community groups seeking a standout performance piece.
