Farewell Song has been taken from Der Trompetervon Säckingen by Victor E. Nessler (1841-1890). Thisopera tells the sentimental story of a plain musicianwho is eventually allowed to marry the daughter ofa baron. From the first performance in 1884, thisopera was well liked - not so much because of thestory but because of its musical features. Impressivetrumpet solos, drinking songs and dance scenes werethe ingredients that enthralled audiences throughoutEurope. Today, only the farewell song called JungWerner’s Abschied, also known as Behüt’ dich Gott,has remained an absolute winner. Wil van der Beekhas written a fine arrangement of this entitledFarewell Song. He felt itwas appropriate to entrustthe melody of this song, originally written for tenorvoice, to the baritone or euphonium. Farewell Song stammt aus der einst berühmten Oper Der Trompeter von Säckingen von Victor E. Nessler (1841-1890). Sie erzählt die Geschichte eines einfachen Musikanten, der nach vielen Prüfungen schließlich doch die Tochter eines Barons heiraten darf. Wil van der Beek legt hier eine gelungene Bearbeitung des heute noch sehr populären Abschiedsliedes Jung Werners Abschied, auch bekannt unter dem Titel Behüt' dich Gott, vor. Die sehnsuchtsvolle Melodie - ursprünglich für einen Tenor geschrieben - wird vom sonoren Klang des Euphoniums eindrucksvoll wiedergegeben.

In Oscar Wildes bekanntem Marchen hat der Gluckliche Prinz auf den ersten Blick alles, was eine Statue sich nur wunschen kann: Er steht hoch uber der Stadt, uber und uber mit Gold bedeckt, mit Edelsteinen geschmuckt und von den Menschen respektvoll bewundert. Und dennoch gibt er all das auf: Er verschenkt sein Gold und seine Edelsteine. Eine kleine Schwalbe hilft ihm, die Kostbarkeiten an Notleidende zu verteilen, an Vergessene und Verlassene, an hungrige Kinder, die davon Brot kaufen konnen. Sommer und Herbst vergehen, Schnee fallt und es wird kalt. Die Schwalbe aber will den Prinzen nicht verlassen - sie erfriert und fallt tot zu Fussen des Prinzen nieder. Dieser ist inzwischen so unansehnlich geworden, dass ihn die Menschen, die ihn zuvor mit Ehrfurcht betrachteten, von seinem Sockel sturzen und einschmelzen. Nur das Bleiherz will im Hochofen nicht schmelzen, und so wird es auf einen Kehrichthaufen geworfen, auf dem auch die tote Schwalbe liegt. So bleiben am Ende in Oscar Wildes Marchen Liebe und Freundschaft als Werte bestehenDie 21 kleinen Klavierstucke von Stefan Heucke beleuchten die Episoden des Marchens musikalisch, vertiefen den emotionalen Gehalt und sind fur Kinder sehr hubsch anzuhoren. Fortgeschrittene Klavierschuler oder Erwachsene werden die Stucke auch selbst spielen konnen.Auf der beiliegenden CD wird das Marchen von Elfi von Kalckreuth erzahlt.

Bartók's Mikrokosmos has been one of the milestones in pedagogical piano repertoire for 80 years - and yet it is also far more than a classical piano primer. These 153 piano pieces, organized in ascending order of difficulty, engage not only with technical aspects of piano playing but also with the fundamentals of composition - from Imitation and Inversion, Ostinato, and Free Variations, concerning compositional technique, to mood pieces and pieces with programmatic ideas such as Notturno, Boating, From the Diary of a Fly, or the famous Six Dances in Bulgarian Rhythm. Mikrokosmos first appeared in 1940 in six volumes. Based on volume 40 of the Bartók CompleteEdition published in 2020(Z. 15040), the present Urtext edition offers the series gathered in three volumes. This edition includes Bartók's preface, exercises, and notes written for the first edition. Furthermore, it also features a preface and comments by the editor, which not only discuss the genesis and the compositional sources but also provide performers, teachers and pupils alike, with authentic and detailed information about Bartók's notation and the specific performing problems of Mikrokosmos.

The temples of Malta are the oldest stone buildings still standing on earth. They were built by a mysterious civilization which was very advanced for the time of 3,600 BC. Sometimes when we look at the ancient stones, it's fun to remember that children once played and danced in the temple courtyards. Surely those long-ago children made music, too. Charles Camilleri (1931 - 2009) was a Maltese composer. As a teenager, he composed a number of works based on folk music and legends of his native Malta. He moved from his early influences by Maltese folk music to a musical form in which nothing is fixed and his compositions evolve from themselves with a sense of fluency and inevitability. He composed over 100 works for orchestra, chamber ensemble, voice and solo instruments. Camilleri's work has been performed throughout the world and his research of folk music and improvisation, the influences of the sounds of Africa and Asia, together with the academic study of European music, helped him create a universal style. Camilleri is recognized in Malta as one of the major composers of his generation. He died on 3 January 2009 at the age of 77. His funeral took place two days later at Naxxar, his long-time town of residence. Flags across Malta were flown at half-mast in tribute to him.

In this piece the musicians have not only instrumental but also acting roles. They have to walk about the performing area in accordance with a specific plan, while uttering words and sentences taken from James Joyce's novel Finnegans Wake. The theoretical background to this use of the text is provided by the general container-function theory developed by the British psychoanalyst Wilfred Bion. This theory also determines all the parameters of the music as well. Assistance in working out the harp part was provided by harpist Sarah O?Brian, who was the soloist at the premi?re of the work in Germany in 1999.
