How often has something been justified by, declared to be, or blessed as “in the name of†some cause or other? How can it be that opposing armies and the use of weapons are ever “in the name ofâ€...? This is a common thread in the history of different faiths. Good was created but evil was committed and all “in the name of...†This thread is also found in the history of the Premonstratensian Abbey at Wadgassen. The abbey was built in the 12th century on unfertile, desolate moorland, which later evolved into the most powerful religious community in the Saarland. The history of the abbey records quite astounding achievements under the motto desertum florebit quasi lilium (“the desert will bloom like a lilyâ€); but also the harsh treatment of delinquents. The order had its own school, in which children were taught the seven liberal arts (which included music as well as geography and astronomy), but the poor were left to starve outside the abbey walls and were only allowed to eat from the members' on feast days. The medieval witch trials demanded their pound of flesh, and one group that fell victim were ecstatic dancers who moved wildly to music--which was interpreted as the devil's work. The result: a show trial that sentenced the dancers to death by fire. All in the name of... The year is 1789: Abbot Bordier is in the tenth year of his command. He does not yet know that he is to be the last abbot of an almost 700-year-tradition. Not far from the abbey is the French border, which has long been making itself felt with the sound of gunfire, and the brothers continue to keep a nervous eye on it. The first portents of the French Revolution loom, but no one wants to believe it--that is, until the French pound the door down, storm the abbey and come right into the brothers' chambers. In a blind fury, all the pipes of the abbey organ are torn out, icons beheaded with swords and brothers beaten death while numerous buildings are set on fire. The abbey church is in flames. A frantic and desperate escape begins. Abbot Bordier and a handful of brothers make their getaway via the River Saar, adjacent to the abbey, to the neighbouring village of Bous. They survive, but their life--the Premonstratensian abbey--is destroyed. While they flee towards Prague and the sanctuary of the Strahov Monastery, the abbey at Wadgassen is razed to the ground and becomes a stone quarry. The desert blooms once more, however. A few short decades later, a glasswork arises from the foundations of the abbey. As peace returns to the region, it brings jobs and a new vision for its people.

With this work, composer Jacob de Haan depicts a procession of the inhabitants of the Basque town Zumarraga to the hermitage of Santa MarÃa La Antigua in the mountains nearby. The music, that has carefully been built around the repeated rhythm of the town's name, varies from meditative and hymn-like to emotional and powerful. Thus, it is a atmospheric piece with plenty of musical appeal.

Jan de Haan drew inspiration for this work from five paintings exhibited in The Hermitage in Saint Petersburg, one of the largest and most versatile museums in the world. He used the melodious Andante cantabile from the String Quartet Op. 11 by the Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky as its starting point. Thus, he created his own musical painting, which is just as varied as the underlying canvases--from Cheerful Company by Dirck Hals to Dance II by Henri Matisse. A true work of art!

Frigyes Hidas was the most prolific Hungarian composer for wind ensembles and his works are the most often performed. His extremely popular folk song suites are the finest examples of Hidas's mature style.Few composers are capable of tackling folk song arrangement in a worthy manner. Bartók himself had the following to say about the challenges with which this genre confronted the 20th-century composer: 'Knowing how to deal with folk melodies is one of the most difficult tasks. I venture to claim that it is as difficult as, if not more dif- ficult than, writing a large-scale original work This much is certain: for folk song arrangement the appropriate inspiration is just asessential as for the writing of any other kind of work.'The first suite works up nine folk songs of differing character and atmosphere. To perform them a brilliant technique is required, and an ability to shape the music freely. (Hungaroton HCD 31612).

Maxime Aulio composed Les Voyages de Gulliver (Gulliver’s Travels) for the concert band of the Conservatoire National de Région in Toulouse (France) conducted by Jean-Guy Olive. The first performance took place in Toulouse (Auditorium Saint-Pierre des Cuisines) on April 25, 2001. The Anglo-Irish author Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) took about six years to complete his epic tale of adventure. The creative storyline, clear writing and subtlety of Gulliver’s Travels have been engaging readers for generations. This literary travel between reason and foolishness was Maxime Aulio’s inspiration for this piece. Each of the four movements of this suite is a review of Gulliver’sadventures, resembling the effect of a kaleidoscope, which juxtaposes small fragments of colour in a linear pattern. Jonathan Swifts satirischer Roman Gullivers Reisen - eine literarische Reise zwischen Vernunft und Verrücktheit - regte auch die Phantasie des Komponisten Maxime Aulio an. Seine Suite für Blasorchester besteht aus mehreren kurzen, teilweise wie eine Kette aneinander gereihten Sätzen. Zyklisch in veränderter Form wiederkehrende Motive und Themen beschreiben Gullivers Gedanken und Gefühle oder auch Landschaften und Personen, die ihm unterwegs begegnen.1. Voyage Lilliput • 2.

Voyage chez les Houyhnhnms / Maxime Aulio a composé Gulliver's Travels (Les Voyages de Gulliver) pour l’Orchestre d’Harmonie du Conservatoire National de Région de Toulouse placé sous la direction de Jean-Guy Olive. L’œuvre a été donnée en création mondiale le 25 avril 2001, l’Auditorium Saint-Pierre des Cuisines de Toulouse, par la formation dédicataire.Vers 1720, lorsque Jonathan Swift (1667-1745), écrivain irlandais d’origine anglaise, envoie Lemuel Gulliver,un vieux chirurgien malicieux, la découverte de contrées extraordinaires, il débute en réalité l’écriture d’un roman satirique sur la vanité, la morale et l’hypocrisie de la société humaine. L’utopie littéraire était alors l'unique moyen d’éviter la censure. Mais en écrivant ce livre, dont la rédaction dura six ans, Swift eut le temps de m rir ses idées, si bien que sa réflexion grinçante sur la condition humaine est toujours d’actualité. Le génie imaginatif, la finesse d’esprit et la prose simple qui caractérisent Les Voyages de Gulliver ont fasciné des générations de lecteurs. Ce voyage littéraire entre raison et folie s’est également arrimé dans l’imaginaire de Maxime Aulio qui nous offre avec sa suite en quatre mouvements, une vision musicale des pérégrinations de Gulliver, la manière d’un kaléidoscope qui juxtapose de petits fragments de couleur dans une trame linéaire.

Romeo and Juliet is a sensitive adaptation of the unforgettable love theme from Nino Rota’s soundtrack to Franco Zeffirelli’s 1968 film, Romeo and Juliet. Retaining the tumultuous romance and tragedy of the story itself, Toshio Mashima’s arrangement is ideal for concert or competition performance. Nino Rota is vooral bekend geworden van zijn filmmuziek bij The Godfather, waarvoor hij een Oscar ontving. Voor de verfilming van Romeo en Julia van Franco Zeffirelli uit het jaar 1968 schreef hij eveneens de muziek.Van het liefdesthema uit deze film heeft Mashima een arrangement geschreven. Romeo en Juliet: een dramatische en prachtige verklanking die de romantiek maar ook de tragiek van het verhaal op onvergetelijke wijze weergeeftNino Rota, der vor allem für seine oscargekrönte Filmmusik zu Der Pate bekannt ist, schrieb auch die Musik zur Verfilmung von Romeo und Julia von Franco Zeffirelli aus dem Jahre 1968. Unvergessen aus diesem Soundtrack ist das Liebesthema“, welches die ganze Romantik und Tragik der Handlung widerspiegelt. Nino Rota, connu pour la musique de la saga Le Parrain et pour laquelle il a été récompensé par un Oscar, a également composé en 1968 la bande originale de la version cinématographique du film Roméo et Juliette de Franco Zeffirelli. Le thème lyrique arrangé par Toshio Mashima, extrêmement poignant, reflète tout le romantisme et l’intrigue de ce bouleversant drame shakespearien. Nino Rota, autore di indimenticabili colonne sonore tra le quali ricordiamo film di Fellini e la musica della saga de Il Padrino(che gli valse un Oscar), ha anche composto nell’ormai lontano1968 la colonna sonora originale della versione cinematografica del film Romeo e Giulietta di Franco Zeffirelli. Love Theme, una melodia molto coinvolgente, riflette tutto il romanticismo e intrigo del dramma di Shakespeare.
