Saul, published for the first time in the version conducted by Handel himself. Saul is one of the most dramatic of Handel's oratorios. To a greater extent than almost any other oratorio it reveals with its gripping dramatic power its proximity to opera of its time. The score demands what was at the time Handel's most varied orchestra. The normal opera orchestra of the day was augmented by trombones, harp, solo organ, carillon (Glockenspiel) and large kettledrums. The choir functions for the first time as a central participant in dramatic action, while also undertaking commentating functions as in a Greek tragedy. This new edition makes use for the first time of musical material revealed by the latest Handel research, based as its most important source on the conducting score from which Handel himself directed his performances. Only this research has shown which arias, choruses, recitatives and instrumental pieces, after he had made numerous corrections in his autograph, Handel chose for his performances, and in what order they were given. The result has produced, apart from many changes of details (e.g. autograph instructions concerning the use of the organ), uncommon ordering of individual pieces, and passages with altered notes. Score available separately - see item CA.5505300.

Wind Sketches is a top quality concert work for wind band in three movements, inspired by the relationship between man and wind. Trade Winds, in the form of a march, is reminiscent of a shanty, conjuring up seafaring and the tradewinds. Becalmed, harmonically and melodically almost static, depicts the doldrums. All the more contrasting is Riding the Storm, which concerns the love-hate relationship of people to the winds that he needs and at the same times fears.

Wind Sketches is een eersteklas concertwerk voor blaasorkest. Het bestaat uit drie delen, die gebaseerd zijn op de relatie tussen de mens en de wind: Trade Winds, in marsvorm, doet denken aan een shanty en roept associaties op met dezee en passaatwinden. Becalmed, dat in melodieus en harmonieus opzicht bijna statisch is, schetst een windstilte. Riding the Storm is stormachtig: het beschrijft de haat-liefdeverhouding tussen de mens en de wind.

Wind Sketches ist ein hochkaratiges Konzertwerk fur Blasorchester in drei Satzen, die alle von der Beziehung Mensch und Wind inspiriert sind: Der erste Trade Winds in Marschform erinnert an ein Shanty und an Passatwinde auf hoher See.Der zweite Satz, Becalmed, harmonisch und melodisch fast statisch, beschreibt eine Flaute. Umso kontrastreicher ist der dritte Satz, Riding the Storm, der von der Hassliebe des Menschen des Menschen zu Winden gepragt ist.

Les trois mouvements de cette piece s'inspirent des rapports entre les humains et divers types de vents. Le premier, Alizes (Trade Winds), prend la forme d'une marche aux accents de chansons de marins, le deuxieme mouvement, Encalmine(Becalmed), est de nature quasi statique, sans grand developpement melodique ou harmonique. Le finale, Porte par la tempete (Riding the Storm), depeint les relations humaines, par le biais de vents tumultueux, dangereux, benefiques etvivifiants.

I tre movimenti di questo brano si ispirano al rapporto dell'uomo con il vento. Il primo, Trade Winds, prende la forma di una marcia dagli accenti di mare, il secondo movimento, Becalmed, e di natura quasi statica, senza grandi sviluppimelodici o armonici. Il finale, Riding the Storm, descrive i tanti venti tumultuosi, pericolosi, benefici e vigorosi.

After finishing a serious woodwind quintet in the fall of 2001 [Tela Lacerata], I found, in the ensuing months, that its cinders/ashes were still impregnating my eardrums. Therefore, when I set out to write the present string piece, I realized that the musical veins of the quartet, like related cousins, were sharing the same blood as the earlier wind composition. The resultant Fifth Quartet evolved into two large, extended movements, each one containing seven parts that are played without pause. As the list of the various sub-sections clearly indicates, the formal structure of the movements appear to be identical: each with three main parts enveloped by interludes, plus an introduction and coda. However, the principal segments of the first (slow) movement gradually decrease in length, while those of the second (fast) movement increase. In addition, there is a goodly amount of sonic material stolen from the first movement which reappears -- stitched together in a new guise -- into the world of the second. for example, the bulk of Parts B and C of Movement II are lifted bodily, although elaborately modified, from their first appearances in the Introduction and Part A of the fist movement. This offers, I suppose at least a hint of a traditional recapitulation. As was true in the earlier woodwind piece -- both harmonically and melodically -- the embryonic growth of the musical fabric (primarily the tritone and perfect fifth) is omnipresent, almost obsessively, throughout the course of the whole work. These two intervals, not unlike plasticine, habitually transform themselves into the scales, chords, and melodic lines that pervade the texture of the quartet. Owing to the largely unrelieved dramatic flow, the shifting speed, and the often fervent intensity, the quartet places considerable demands on the dexterity, virtuosity, and stamina of the four performers. String Quartet No. 5 is approximately 22 minutes in duration and affectionately dedicated to my violinist wife Elizabeth, as a gift for our 47 years together. It was commissioned by the Corigliano String Quartet, New York, NY. -- Sydney Hodkinson.
