Additional info/contents	Austrian artist Parov Stelar is a pioneer of Electro Swing, a blend of electronic music, jazz, swing, and blues. Florian Moitzi has arranged five of his best-known tracks as a medley for advanced wind orchestras. The sequence begins with "All Night" (in B-flat major), continues with "Catgroove" and "Black Lilies" (same key and tempo), then "Brass Devil" (modulation to E-flat major, tempo change), and concludes with "Booty Swing." This arrangement demands a high level of rhythmic precision, tonal balance, and nuanced interpretation, as the electronic elements of the original must be recreated by wind instruments. The arrangement demonstrates how contemporary music can be successfully adapted for wind orchestras and offers a challenging yet rewarding project for advanced ensembles. (© musicainfo.net)

Programme notes *: Parov Stelar: Life, Work, and Arrangements for Wind Orchestra Marcus Füreder, better known by his stage name Parov Stelar, is an Austrian music producer, DJ, and one of the most influential figures in electro swing. Born on November 27, 1974, he began his career in 2004 and has since developed a distinctive style that blends electronic music with elements of jazz, swing, and blues. His compositions are characterized by modern beats, nostalgic soundscapes, and striking wind arrangements, which have earned him a cult following worldwide. Parov Stelar has won the Amadeus Austrian Music Award multiple times, including in the categories of "Best Electronic/Dance" and "Best Live Act." His albums, such as *Coco*, *The Princess*, and *Voodoo Sonic*, have achieved international chart success, and tracks like *All Night* have gone platinum. In addition to his musical career, Parov Stelar is also active as a visual artist. His works, which often explore autobiographical themes, have been exhibited in renowned galleries. His artistic output is consistently characterized by a connection between music and visual art, securing him a unique position in the contemporary art scene. • Analysis of Selected Compositions Parov Stelar's music is marked by a creative fusion of traditional and modern influences. The following analysis examines five of his best-known pieces, which also play a central role in Florian Moitzi's arrangement for wind orchestra. - *Catgroove*, released on the album *Coco* in 2009, is a prime example of electro swing. The track captivates with a driving 4/4 beat combined with jazzy saxophone and trumpet lines. The piece gained particular notoriety through a viral choreography that garnered over 55 million views on YouTube. The composition thrives on the fusion of retro samples with modern electronic elements, giving it a timeless dynamism. - *Booty Swing*, also from the album *The Princess*, is another classic of the genre. The track impresses with a groovy bass line, syncopated horns, and a catchy chorus. In live versions with his band, the improvisational elements borrowed from jazz are particularly prominent. - *All Night* is one of Parov Stelar's most successful tracks, achieving double platinum in Italy and platinum in Germany and Austria. The piece begins with an atmospheric intro and develops into an energetic drop. The distinctive brass sections and driving beat make it an indispensable part of his repertoire. - *Black Lilies* showcases a darker, bluesy side of his work. Here, Parov Stelar combines electronic beats with melancholic jazz harmonies and striking horns. The smoky, mysterious atmosphere is created through the use of vintage samples and modern synthesizers. *Brass Devil* from the *Voodoo Sonic* series is characterized by an aggressive brass riff and a driving techno beat. A highlight of the piece is the modulation and a half-time break, which emphasizes the contrast between electronic and acoustic elements. The track reached number 1 on the US iTunes Electronic charts. Arrangement for advanced wind orchestra by Florian Moitzi Florian Moitzi has arranged the aforementioned tracks as a medley for advanced wind orchestra. The sequence and special features of the arrangement are carefully considered. The medley begins with *All Night* in B-flat major at a tempo of 124 beats per minute. The brass section takes the lead, while the rhythm section simulates the driving beat of the original. A modulating break leads seamlessly into *Catgroove*, played in the same key and tempo. Here, saxophones and trumpets take over the electronic loops of the original, while syncopated rhythms define the groove. *Black Lilies* also follows in the same key and tempo. The darker timbres are emphasized by low brass and muted trombones to preserve the bluesy atmosphere of the original. A particular highlight is the arrangement of *Brass Devil*. Here, the modulation to E-flat major occurs, and the tempo is reduced to 120 beats per minute. From section N onward, the piece shifts into half-time at 60 beats per minute. This dramatic change creates a dynamic climax where the brass sections dominate, demanding precision and expression from the musicians. The medley concludes with *Booty Swing* at a tempo of 116 beats per minute. The wind instruments play the main melody, while the percussion underscores the groove and brings the medley to an energetic close. • Stylistic and interpretative challenges Arranging these pieces for wind band places particular demands on the musicians. Rhythmic precision is crucial, as syncopated grooves and tempo changes require a high degree of ensemble accuracy. At the same time, the wind players must authentically recreate the electronic elements of the original without disrupting the tonal balance. Another important aspect is dynamics and expression. The contrasting moods of the individual pieces—ranging from melancholic to energetic—demand a nuanced interpretation. The musicians must be able to convey the different characters of the pieces to adequately represent the diversity of Parov Stelar's music. • Parov Stelar's music, with its fusion of jazz, swing, and electronic elements, provides an ideal foundation for creative wind band arrangements. Florian Moitzi's arrangement highlights the musical characteristics of the originals while simultaneously creating a varied, danceable medley that delights both musicians and audiences. The arrangement for wind orchestra demonstrates how contemporary electronic music can be successfully adapted for a classical ensemble without losing its original character. This makes the medley an exciting and challenging project for advanced wind orchestras, demanding both technical and artistic skill. • Text: © musicainfo.net (KI) Quellen/Sources: OrchestralArt: A Tribute to Parov Stelar Tags: Personalities and VIPss
