A major addition to the concertante trombone repertory, this single-movement work lasting 30 minutes was premiered in 2017 by Jorgenvan Rijen and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, conducted by Ivan Fischer. Press reviews were ecstatic:...this magnificent concerto enriches the repertoire...The trombone sang, sang, sang...then suddenly a spectacular mating dance of four trombones a la Stockhausen. At the very end van Rijen and MacMillan struck me down completely: between the serene harmonies which came to a moment of rest, the trombone once more entered with a heart-breaking eruption...the wonderful beauty of despair...It is a concerto for eternity, and trombone players could use one. - De Trouw.

This is one of the early works by which the clarinettest Jorg Widmann also made himself a name as a composer. The form develops from the - at first only tentative - interaction of the three instruments. Sound-sensitive and eruptive moments alternate unexpectedly. Between 'jazzy-secco' and the 'Spieluhr' solo, the piano announces the passage of time: '12 Glockenschlage Mitternacht'.

There's nothing quite like the excitement of opening night, captured brilliantly here in the showstopper from Cole Porter's Kiss Me, Kate. Anticipation gradually builds as the bubbly tune passes from voice to voice in a crescendo, eventually erupting into the title line of the song. A terrific selection for staging or choreography, smartly arranged for developing choirs!

This three movement piano trio from Giselher Klebe’s late period of creativity originates from his estate. The composition’s appeal lies in the clear, restrained diction whilst at the same time a high intensity of expression is achieved. Two diverse slow outer movements with eruptive injections frame a lively middle movement. This work which has a duration of 20 minutes undoubtedly represents an impressive document of a musical style which we perceive today as the classical modern.

This voluntary is based on what is arguably the most famous of Easter hymns in the Western Christian Church – Jesus Christ is Risen Today. Taken from a collection of various hymns and tunes entitled Lyra Davidica (1708), the Easter Hymn is used as the springboard for a rhapsodic opening and development before a full and ravishing harmonization of the entire hymn. The conclusion, an extension of the tune itself, calls for a volcanic organ registration, sure to elicit an eruptive outcry appropriate to the day itself! .

The Three Fates, or Parcae, were the goddesses of fate in Greek-Roman mythology, and sang on themes of curse and fate. The Parzenlied in Goethe’s verse drama “Iphigenie auf Tauris†is concerned with these themes and became the model for Johannes Brahms’s setting. His Gesang der Parzen (Song of the Fates) op. 89 describes in thrilling, eruptive sounds the fight to overcome the mythical curse through the purity of truthful, noble actions and the power of hope.With a duration of around 12 minutes, the work can be combined with Brahms’s “German Requiem†in concert.

The word ‘tsunami’ is of Japanese origin. When you look it up in a dictionary, you will find that it means ‘a great sea wave produced by submarine earth movement or volcanic eruption’. A megatsunami is the superlative of this awesome expressionof power that nature can create, and has catastrophic consequences. When Carl Wittrock completed this composition not many such big earth movements had occurred, but since then we have become all too familiar with the disastrousconsequences which a tsunami may have. On the 26th of December 2004 a heavy seaquake took place near the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Tidal waves 10 meters in height ravaged the coastal regions of many countries for miles around. The tsunamitook the lives of thousands of people and destroyed many villages and towns. There are more areas which run the risk of being struck by a tsunami, such as the island of La Palma, one of the Canary Islands. This island is based on oceaniccrust at a fracture zone and as such is one of nature’s time bombs. The consequences of a natural calamity like a megatsunami are immense. In the case of La Palma, the tidal wave will move in the direction of South America, where it may reach 50km inland, destroying everything on its way. In his composition Wittrock describes an ordinary day which will have an unexpected ending. Right from the beginning there seems to be something in the air, the music creating an oppressiveatmosphere of impending disaster. Themes are interrupted, broken off suddenly, followed by silence, suggesting the calm before the storm. Suddenly a short climax (glissandi in the trombone part) indicates the seaquake, and the megatsunami isa fact. Hereafter follows a turbulent passage symbolising the huge rolling waves. After nature’s force has spent itself, resignation sets in and the composition ends with a majestic ode to nature.Het woord tsunami is afkomstig uit het Japans. Het woordenboek geeft als betekenis: een vloedgolf als gevolg van een onderzeese aardbeving. Een megatsunami is de overtreffende trap van deze vorm van natuurgeweld en heeft catastrofale gevolgen. Toen Carl Wittrock deze compositie voltooide waren er nog niet veel voorbeelden van dergelijke grote bevingen, maar inmiddels weten we maar al te goed welke desastreuze gevolgen een tsunami kan veroorzaken. Op 26 december 2004 vond ereen zware beving plaats in de zee nabij het Indonesische eiland Sumatra. Vloedgolven van wel 10 meter hoog teisterden de kuststreken van menig land in de verre omtrek. De tsunami eiste duizenden mensenlevens en verwoestte vele dorpen ensteden. Er zijn meer gebieden waar sprake is van een directe dreiging, zoals op het eiland La Palma, één van de Canarische eilanden. Dit eiland ligt op een breukvlak en is daarmee een tijdbom van de natuur. Bij een calamiteit als eenmegatsunami zijn de gevolgen niet te overzien. In het geval van La Palma begeeft de vloedgolf van enkele honderden meters zich richting Zuid Amerika met alle gevolgen van dien. Tot ongeveer 50 kilometer landinwaarts heeft de megatsunami eenallesverwoestende werking. In de compositie schetst Wittrock een gewone dag die ongewoon zal aflopen. Al vanaf het begin hangt er iets in de lucht en is er sprake van een dreigende, beklemmende sfeer. Themas worden onderbroken doorplotselinge afbrekingen en stiltes. Opeens is daar de korte climax (glissandi in trombones) die de beving symboliseert en de megatsunami is een feit. Een onrustig gedeelte vangt aan, daarmee de rollende, voortstuwende golven symboliserend. Na hetnatuurgeweld is er berusting en The Power of the Megatsunami wordt afgesloten met een majestueuze ode aan de natuur.Gobelin Music Publications.

What gave rise to this piece was my work on a scientific study about the signals emitted by bees. It was fascinating to learn that these signals are based on a finely graded micro-periodicity. My work has 15 stages designated as honeycombs. Every honeycomb focuses on about six similar events which have identical dynamics and almost identical playing techniques, tone colors and pitches, but which never create a chronologically exact periodicity.
