Par BUNK GERARD. As a 20th century composer, Gerard Bunk developed a distinctive musical style comparable perhaps to that of Max Reger or Sigfrid Karg-Elert. In addition to Bunk?s large-scale organ work ?Legende? Op.29 and its symphonic version Op.29II, there is a further well-known ?Legende? Op.55b written for organ and string orchestra (or string quartet) which was composed in 1945. This edition offers the earlier version of this work, dating from 1914, in its original instrumentation for organ and brass quartet. In order to facilitate performance, the sketchily notated score is carefully supplemented by performance markings from the string version. What Albert Schweitzer praised in the earlier ?Legende?, ?the calm and vivid layout of the complete work?, is also recognisable in Bunk?s later composition: the catchy, modestly beautiful theme alongside the clear musical form of this ?Legende? for organ and brass quartet. - Scored for 2 Flugelhorns, French horn, Trombone - Attractive chamber music for brass with organ - Edited by the composer?s grandson - Also suitable for amateur ensembles / Date parution : 2022-07-30/ Répertoire / Orgue et Quatuor de Cuivres

(2008 2012) Playing scoreFor trumpet in B-flat or CThe composer writes about his trumpet piece: ?Shining Forth? is a reference to a work created by Barnett Newman in 1961. It is a very strict graphically inspired picture with economical black lines on untreated canvas. It is a homage an 'obituary' a requiem for Barnett Newman's brother whose Hebrew first name is Zerach which means 'to rise' (of the sun). In recent years the trumpet has taken on a special role and importance for me both in chamber music and in orchestral works or in a double concerto for two trumpets. It was time to create a solo piece for this instrument. The music is very introspective in places almoston the edge of tonelessness and lapsing into silence a shrill (out)cry picks out the theme of the loss of a loved family member.'
