This colourful work is based on the adventures of Christopher Columbus and his voyages to discover Africa and other new territories around the World. The theory that the earth was round urged Columbus to try and reach Asia by sailing west. A truly exotic work that grasps the drive and excitement of the world?s greatest explorer.

Jan de Haan schreef Hispaniola ter gelegenheid van het vijfhonderdste sterfjaar van Christoffel Columbus (1451-1506), die in 1492 Amerika ontdekte. Een van de eerste eilanden die hij aantrof in de Caribische zee noemde hijLa Española - in het Latijn â??Hispaniolaâ??. Het werk bestaat uit drie aaneengesloten delen. In deel een wordt de voorbereiding van de reis weerspiegeld, steeds afgewisseld door een ontspannen Spaanse sfeer. Het snelle tweede deel beschrijftmet vele ritmische verrassingen de onvoorspelbare zeereis. Als de scheepsbel heeft geklonken, begint het derde deel. Tijdens het breed uitgesponnen thema lijkt de kust uit zee te rijzen, waarna de euforie vanwege de ontdekkingvan het nieuwe land uitmondt in een muzikale climax.

La Espagnola - lateinisch Hispaniola - nannte der groÃ?e Entdecker Kolumbus eine karibische Insel, die seine Flotte auf dem Weg zur neuen Weltâ?? nach zwei Monaten auf See erreichte. Die drei Sätze von Jan de Haans Komposition beschreiben zunächst die Reisevorbereitungen, dann - temporeich und voll rhythmischer Ã?berraschungen - die gefährliche Seereise und schlieÃ?lich aufkeimende Freude und Euphorie, als es endlich Land in Sichtâ?? heiÃ?t. Spannung und Abenteuer bis zum letzten Ton!

Jan de Haan a composé Hispaniola pour célébrer le 500e anniversaire de la mort de Christophe Colomb (1451-1506). Né en Italie, le jeune Christophe Colomb sâ??installa Lisbonne. De l , il entreprit ses voyages découverte vers lâ??Afrique et ailleurs. Adhérent la thèse que la Terre est ronde, il décida de rejoindre lâ??Asie (Les Indes orientales) en navigant par lâ??Ouest. En 1492, il embarqua avec une petite flotte battant pavillon espagnol. Après deux mois de navigation, il découvrit les premières îles dans la mer des Cara bes. Persuadé d'avoir atteint l'Asie, Colomb baptisa ces nouvelles terres « Les Indes » et les hommes qui les peuplent « les Indiens ». Ã?tonné par laressemblance de certains paysages avec l'Espagne, il donna le nom d'Española (Petite Espagne) lâ??une des îles (aujourdâ??hui Ha ti et la République dominicaine). Ce nom fut ensuite latinisé en Hispaniola.Hispaniola est une ?uvre en trois mouvements sans interruption. Le premier mouvement illustre la préparation du voyage. La précision qui caractérise la musique alterne de manière répétitive avec la décontraction dâ??une atmosphère typiquement espagnole. Le deuxième mouvement dâ??allure vive est rempli de surprises rythmiques. Nous suivons Colomb dans son long, imprévisible et dangereux périple en mer. Terre en vue !, la cloche du bateau sâ??ébranle. Nous entrons dans le troisième mouvement. Durant la longue exposition du thème, les côtes semblent sâ??élever lentement de la mer. Puis vient lâ??euphorie de la découverte de la nouvelle terre. Finalement, la musique rayonne dans une intensité lumineuse.

Performed with or without chorus, the effect is dramatic and moving. (MusicWorks).

Resignation was composed in memory of one of Ed Kiefer's best friends. Evoking the struggle of coming to grips with the loss of a dear friend, the piece is based on the hymn, My Shepherd Will Supply My Need. It is dramatic, heartfelt, and overwhelmingly beautiful. As Hans Christian Andersen once said, When words fail, music speaks..

Neither could I write a piece that could come close to reflecting his kind spirit, wit, personality or talent. In fact, it was almost impossible for me to write anything at all. My own grief and the stages of my grief kept getting in the way. I ended up with a setting of the hymn-tune, Resignation. Resigned.  To the fact that he is no longer with us. I know he is in a better place, but we are not. We miss him very much. And so, My Shepherd Will Supply My Need seems to speak to those of us he left behind. I apologize if this piece does not reflect your special feelings for him or help you celebrate his moving on. Unfortunately, I could only put down what I have come to accept and hope in some way it may speak to any of you that knew him or to others of you who have also lost a close friend. My Shepherd Will Supply My Need. That is my hope and my hope for you.Although technically very easy, this composition requires a maturity of musicianship to be performed properly. The Bb contrabass clarinet part is integral to the composition, but there are cues in the tuba part if you need them.  Make sure you bring horns to the fore at m. 53 and the low brass at m. 59 so the melody can be heard without effort. Exaggerate dynamics to bring more emotion to the piece. Be careful not to diminuendo too soon near the end or it will be difficult to diminish even further at the very end, where the lone clarinetist holds over a couple of measures, fading into nothing. I hope your students will enjoy this piece and take from it a greater appreciation for the way making music can express feelings.
