Help Me Identify Some Music!

[I<3thebox]

Hey guys,

 

So I was trying to think of a piece of music today that was played by the concert band at my high school one year (back in the day, like probably 05 or 06). It was in several (maybe 3 movements) and had to do with France (France or French might have been in the title). It also (if I remember correctly) had Fetes or Festival in the title, or had to do with festivals. The main theme of one of the movements was also very similar to the love theme from Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones ("Across the Stars).

 

I know thats some rather sketchy info, but any ideas??? Thanks for your help!

Paris Sketches by Martin Ellerbee?

Doesn't sound familiar. Cedar Park's Concert Band played it sometime during '04, '05, or '06 UIL concert season

Look familiar? This is the Cedar Park HS Top Band's 2006 UIL program:

 

Easter Monday On The White House Lawn (Sousa / Gore)

Aegean Festival Overture (Makris/Bader)

J'ai ete au bal (Grantham)

 

The title of the Grantham is obviously french, and they also played Aegean Festival, so maybe you're merging the 2 together. None of these pieces are multi-movement though, so it's probably not what you're thinking?

No it wasn't J'ai ete au bal, that was my Junior year, it must have been before that b/c I'm almost positive Spicer directed it, which would have put it '05 spring concert season... it would have had to been '04 or '05 spring concert season.

It might have had something to do with "procession" too... haha I'm not much help, ugh.

La Procession du Rocio? That's the first title that popped into my head when you said Procession.

 

 

 

I don't know what Cedar Park played before 2005, and nothing on their 2005 program aligns with your hints.
