Of all his symphonies, Mahler gave the Fourth, his favorite and problem child, his most particular attention. The Heavenly Life, a humoresque composed in 1892 for soprano and piano, which he already wanted to use in the final movement of the Third Symphony under the title What the Child Tells Me, ultimately became the nucleus and final movement of the Fourth. Even after publication in 1901, Mahler kept repeatedly refining the orchestration. His maxim not without my retouching led to a whole series of revised reprints. It is probably no coincidence that Mahler performed especially the Fourth Symphony in his last two New York concerts in February 1911, using this opportunity to review once again the score and parts. This performance material with his retouching served as the main source for the new edition. Furthermore, included for the first time were corrections and annotations in conjunction with performances of the Fourth, which Mahler entered into the scores of conductors such as Mengelberg and Wickenhauser.

Der Komposition gehen keine aussermusikalischen Eindrucke voraus, sondern sie konzentriert sich auf innermusikalische Uberlegungen, weshalb es nicht leicht ist, uberhaupt Worte fur sie zu finden. In einem losen Zyklus, den ich in den nachsten Jahren fortsetzen mochte, will ich mich auf das Phanomen der innermusikalischen Bindungen konzentrieren sowie auf ihr Gegenuber, die Einschnitte, Trennlinien oder Kontraste. Jenseits der Tonalitat stellt sich mit jeder neuen Komposition auch die Frage erneut, was zwei Klange zusammenhalten kann, was Ferne und Nahe bedeuten, was das Lose ist und was das Gebundene. Stehen solche Uberlegungen in meinen anderen Kompositionen im Dienste anderer Visionen, so will ich ihnen hier wie ein Geologe auf den Grund gehen.Immer wieder ziehen sich Linien durch die Musik, im konkreten Sinne melodischer Phrasen, aber auch im allgemeinen Sinne der Weiterfuhrung von Klangcharakteren. So unterliegt die Musik permanenten Wandlungen, gehalten von imaginaren Faden, die sich auch verknoten, vernetzen oder vervielfaltigen konnen. Gleichzeitig gibt es auch Einschnitte, scheinbar losgeloste Geschehnisse, die wie unbegrundet hineinplatzen, und dennoch vergleichbar mit einem Stein in einem Fluss ihren Einfluss auf den Verlauf des Ganzen nehmen.Liaison - der Titel beschreibt zwei Seiten dieses Projektes, namlich einerseits die Bindung als innermusikalisch fokussiertes Thema, andererseits den Antrieb, sich mit einem solch basalen Phanomen der Musik erneut zu beschaftigen: die Liaison als Liebesbeziehung, in der die einfachsten Dinge doch wieder zu einem Ratsel werden konnen.(Isabel Mundry).

The assignment to write a test piece for the National Brass Band Championships ended up also being a ‘test piece’ for myself as a composer.
Although being quite familiar with the Brass Band phenomenon, as a composer I still have the feeling ofbeing an outsider.
Delta Energy turned out to be a non-program composition. The Brass Band as orchestra form is depicted musically in this piece. All the specific characteristics are portrayed in varying settings. Solo passages for Euphonium,Flugelhorn and Cornet alternating with extensive tutti-passages and of course technical highlights form the ingredients for this work written in rhapsodic form.

The title “Delta Energy” is derived from a project of the N.V. NederlandseGasunie in Groningen which also contributed in making this composition possible.

Delta Energy is een spectaculair en verfrissend concertwerk van Jan Bosveld (Nijmegen, Holland).
Het beleefde haar première als testpiece (3e divisie) ter gelegenheid van de Nederlandse Brassband Kampioenschappen (2002) te Groningen.

Decomponist heeft getracht een gevarieerd speelwerk te maken waarbij de mogelijkheden van het fenomeen brassband optimaal worden benut.
Delta Energy is abstract van opzet en heeft geen programmatische inhoud. Het werk bestaat uit 5 aaneengeslotendelen welke aan elkaar worden verbonden door cadensen van solisten of secties.

Een krachtig, ritmisch getint openingsmotief brengt ons al snel bij het hoofdthema gespeeld door de cornetsectie. Dit grillige en ritmische gedeelte wordtafgesloten door een cadens van de euphonium die ons in het tweede gedeelte brengt dat wederom zeer ritmisch van karakter is met een knipoog naar de Tarantella.
De flugelcadens zorgt ervoor dat er rust in het werk komt. Dit derde deel doet onsdenken aan een deel uit de Schilderijententoonstelling van Modest Moessorgsky, niet in de laatste plaats door de lyrische euhoniumsolo.
Een cadens van de cornetsectie verplaatst ons naar het 4e deel en daarmee naar de virtuositeit van debrassband.
De energie en de actie zetten de band en publiek op scherp in een zinderend feest. De korte trombonecadens zet de zaak nog eenmaal stil om in het 5e deel Delta Energy op spectaculaire wijze te beëindigen.
Een weergaloze compositie!

The cantata Erforsche mich Gott und erfahre mein Herz BWV 136 was composed in Bach's first year as Kantor of St. Thomas's in Leipzig and was first performed on the 8th Sunday after Trinity, the 18th July 1723. The librettist is unknown. The title of the cantata is taken from verse 23 of Psalm 139: Erforsche mich Gott und erfahre mein Herz; prufe mich und erfahre, wie ich's meine. (Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts) The opening chorus forms an extended fugue, framed by string writing bursting with energy. The obbligato horn accentuates and enriches the movement with a special tonal color. The alto aria in F sharp minor (movement 3) comprises a trio movement with an oboe d'amore as solo instrument in a contrasting range - a presto middle section which dramatically charges the words Denn seines Eifers Grimm vernichtet (For the fury of its zeal will destroy). In the duet (movement 5) the text is sung by tenor and bass line by line, sometimes imitating contrapuntally, and sometimes both singing together dramatically in homophonic writing. A simple chorale setting to the melody Auf meinen lieben Gott concludes the cantata. Particularly charming here is the violin which joins the four vocal parts as an independent part. Score and part available separately - see item CA.3113600.

Notes The Teton Range is part of the Rocky Mountain chain just east of the Idaho border and south of Yellowstone National Park. The name of this majestic range has its roots in the Shoshone teewinet, meaning many pinnacles. Performance Suggestions: The opening measures of The Grand Tetons should be played broadly and majestically. At m. 14, the tempo is indicated at q = 132 and is introduced by a light snare drum figure. The low brass figures at m.18 are to be played softly and broadly in contrast to the lighter and slightly louder high woodwinds. This entire section builds to a climax at m.44. Note the dynamic contrasts in the mixed meter section after m. 53. at 67, the trombone and horn figures should be evident but not overbearing against the lightly played trumpet solo. The 2 measure mixed meter (6/8) (3/4) theme introduced at m.88 should be performed by exaggerating the dotted 8th-16th rhythm, thereby creating a slight swing and dance-like feeling. At m.109, the 8th notes become even and the theme more strident and energetic, with the ritard returning Tetons to the opening theme at m.129.

Shillelagh! (sha-LAY-lee) is a rhapsody based on familiar Irish songs that an Irishman might have heard walking around his village sporting his shillelagh (walking stick). It contains colorful orchestration and would be an excellent choice to showcase any band at contests and festivals.
