In what can be described as Game of Thrones meets thunderous Brahms, this tour de force for advanced string orchestra features a driving theme set in 12/8 meter. The lyrical middle section features cello and bass soli with delicate harmonics and a lush, sweeping countermelody in upper voices before returning to the opening theme for an aggressive ride to a victorious finale. Lush textures, gorgeous harmonies, and powerful motifs offer the ambitious orchestra an unforgettable adventure, both challenging and immensely rewarding.

This work was written for the Donaueschingen Musiktage of 1926 and given its first performance there together with Paul Hindemith's 'Konzertmusik' and Ernst Toch's 'Spiel' for wind band. Until a few years ago the score was thought to be lost. This first edition reproduces the original Version but it has been carefully extended so that it can be played by the usual combination of Instruments now found in a wind band. The work is suitable for advanced wind bands and those at the highest level, and is one of the first original compositions for this form of ensemble.Hans Gal was born in Vienna where he studied composition and musicology and then taught at the university. From 1929 until 1933 he was Director of the Musikhochschule in Mainz. He then had to return to Vienna and he emigrated to Edinburgh where he was a university lecturer and conductor. Together with Eusebius Mandyczewski he published the collected works of Brahms

String quartet - difficult

SKU: HL.49007611

Composed by Cornelius Uwe Gustav Jenner. Edited by Horst Hermann Heussner. Sheet music. Edition Schott. Classical. Score and Parts. 148 pages. Schott Music #ED 7896. Published by Schott Music (HL.49007611).

Gustav Jenner (1865-1920), a student of Brahms', wrote only three string quartets. The Third String Quartet in F major was completed in 1911 and premiered by the Rebner Quartet. Common to all Jenner's Quartets is his way of infusing the classical model with his own musical language, both on an intellectual plane and from a technical point of view. True to the tradition of the genre, the classical form of the string quartet is retained, without however showing itself to be a constraint in the completion of the cycle. What stands out is the sophistication of detail and the purity of form achieved through integration of the elements of composition and nuances of mood.
