The tradition of the Christmas tree in Western Europe dates back to a time long before any Christianization had taken place. During the severely cold winter nights, so it was believed, evil spirits tried to ‘kill’ nature. Needle-leaved trees were the only ones which kept their green colour throughout the year, and therefore became symbols of immortality. These ‘living’ trees, said to be the work of benign spirits, were brought into people’s houses to ward off evil, life-threatening powers. In the 14th century people first started to decorate Christmas trees. It was a pagan custom, originated by the inhabitants of Alsace. This custom was taken over by the Church in thecourse of the 15th and 16th century. At first the decoration consisted mainly of edibles, such as apples and wafers, but later small presents were added. Legend has it that the reformer Martin Luther was the first person to decorate a Christmas tree with candles. The flickering candle flames were meant to create the image of a starry sky in which Christ’s apparition could be recognized. The German organ-player Ernst Anschütz from Leipzig was the first person to notate the song ‘O Tannenbaum’, the melody being a well-known folk song. Next to ‘Stille Nacht’ ‘O Tannenbaum’ is the most famous German Christmas song, now known throughout the world. In the United States of America the melody of ‘O Tannenbaum’ has even been used in four States (among which the State of Maryland) for their State song. In David Well’s arrangement the song is first heard as many of us know it. After this introduction, however, it is transformed into a solid rock version, and the beat has been changed. In the second part the familiar three-four time is back, but here the rhythm is different from the original. After the richly ornamented rock beat the basic theme can be heard once again and the composition is concluded in a festive manner. De traditie van de ‘Kerstboom’ gaat in West-Europa terug tot ver voordat er van enige kerstening sprake was. Gedurende de koude strenge winters dacht men dat kwade geesten de natuur ‘vermoordde’. Naaldbomen behielden als enige hungroene kleur en werden daardoor symbolen van onsterflijkheid. Deze ‘levende’ bomen, het werk van goede machten, werden in huis gehaald om kwade geesten en levensbedreigende krachten buitenshuis te houden. Van ‘versierde’ kerstbomenwas het eerst sprake in de 14e eeuw. Het was een heidens gebruik, dat in deze periode in de Elzas voorkwam. Tijdens de 15e en 16e eeuw werd het versieren van de kerstboom door de kerk overgenomen. De versiering bestond in eersteinstantie vooral uit etenswaar, als appels en koekjes. Later ging men ook kleine cadeautjes als versiering gebruiken. Er wordt beweerd dat Martin Luther, de hervormer, als eerste kaarsen in een kerstboom deed. De fonkelendevlammetjes creëerden een sterrenhemel waarin men Christus’ verschijning leek te herkennen. De Duitse organist Ernst Anschütz uit Leipzig, was de eerste die het lied ‘O Tannenbaum’ op schrift stelde. De melodie was een bekend volkswijsje.Naast ‘Stille Nacht’ is ‘O Tannenbaum’ het meest bekende kerstlied dat vanuit Duitsland de hele wereld veroverde. De melodie van ‘O Tannenbaum’ wordt zelfs in de Verenigde Staten van Amerika in vier verschillende staten(o.a. Maryland) als volkslied gebruikt. In het arrangement van David Well hoort u het lied eerst op de manier zoals velen het kennen. Na deze inleiding klinkt een stevige rock-versie en is de maatsoort niet meer de gebruikelijke.Het tussendeel is weer in de vertrouwde driekwarts-maatsoort. Hier is echter de ritmiek in een ander jasje gestoken. Na de rijkelijk met slingers versierde rock-beat klinkt nog één keer het oorspronkelijke thema om daarna feestelijk.

Dances & Sonnets is a piece by Jacob de Haan, inspired by the dance and poetry of the 19th Century Europe. Lively instrumental dances alternate with spoken sonnets that are recited by one or more readers, accompanied by quiet, solemn music to provide contrast. De Haan has compiled a list of suggested poems to be read, but other poems may be selected that better fit the occasion. Dances & Sonnets is a dramatic and truly special piece! Dances & Sonnets is een ontmoeting tussen dans- en dichtkunst uit de negentiende eeuw. Centraal in dit werk staan de dansen die toen geliefd waren in de vissersdorpen langs de Noordzeekusten en rondom de Zuiderzee. Gedichten wisselendeze dansen af. Bedoeling is dat een of meerdere lezers de gedichten voorlezen, waarbij het orkest hen begeleidt met zachte, gedragen muziek. Naast de gedichten die de componist voorstelt, kunt u natuurlijk ook zelf gedichtenof sonnetten kiezen. Maar ook zonder sprekers komt dit werk voortreffelijk tot zijn recht.Dances & Sonnets ist ein Werk, in dem sich Tanz und Dichtkunst des 19. Jahrhunderts treffen. Im Mittelpunkt des Werkes stehen Tänze, die damals in den Fischereihäfen längs der niederländischen Nordseeküste und der ehemaligen Zuiderzee populär waren. Im Werk wechseln sie sich mit einer Reihe von Gedichten ab, welche von einem oder mehreren Vorlesern deklamiert werden können. Begleitet werden die Gedichte von leise und getragen gespielter Musik des Blasorchesters. Für die Aufführung von Dances & Sonnets können die vom Komponisten vorgeschlagenen oder andere Sonette oder Gedichte in jeder beliebigen Sprache ausgesucht werden. Auch eine szenische Umsetzungkann eine Aufführung von Dances & Sonnets bereichern, das aber auch rein instrumental vorgetragen vorzüglich zur Geltung kommt. Cette oeuvre foisonne de références liées la danse et la poésie du XIXe siècle, car Jacob de Haan s’est appuyé sur des danses jadis en vogue dans les ports de pêche le long du littoral de la mer du Nord et de l’ancien golfe du Zuidersee. Dances & Sonnets s’ouvre avec une introduction majestueuse. Le compositeur explore ensuite l’univers de la danse avec une polka, une valse, une danse des sabots, une scottish trois et un galop. Dances & Sonnets est une oeuvre enrichissante pouvant être interprétée avec ou sans lecture de poème ou danses.Questo brano s’ispira alla danza e alla poesia del XIX secolo, in particolare alle danze dei pescatori lungo il litorale del Mare del Nord e dell’antico golfo del Zuidersee. Dances and Sonnets propone un’introduzione maestosa. Il compositore esplora in seguito l’universo della danza con una polka, un valzer, uno scottisch (danza di coppia in 2/4) e un galoppo. Dances and Sonnets è un brano che può essere eseguito con o senza la lettura del poema o la rappresentazione delle danze.

Joseph Haydn's so-called Paris Symphonies were composed in 1785 and 1786 for the masonic lodge “Société Olympique†in Paris, which ran a large orchestra and organised regular concerts. These six works are notable for their artful motivic work and playful wit. Haydn here pays tribute both to the discerning taste of the Paris audience and to the excellent abilities of the musicians in the orchestra. These symphonies rapidly became famous and popular throughout Europe, thanks to editions published variously in Paris, Vienna and London. The C-major symphony was composed in 1786. Its nickname “L'Ours†(“The bearâ€) derives from the bagpipe-like “drone†accompaniment in the final movement, which presumably made Haydn's contemporaries think of a dancing bear. This study edition reproduces the musical text of the Haydn Complete Edition, which is a guarantor of the finest scholarship. An informative preface and a brief critical report make this handy score an ideal companion for all Haydn fans, both present and future.

This unusual concert work, commissioned by the concert band ?Harmonie Concorde? from Sanem in Luxembourg, is built on two basic ideas: the evolution of the economic and social context of this Luxembourg city with its strong mining industry and the European concept, which is clearly present in this very small but prosperous country with its many European institutes. This is musically expressed in a few quotes from the European hymn Ode to Joy, the closing of Beethoven?s Ninth Symphony and from the Te Deum by Charpentier ? widely known as the signature tune for Eurovision broadcasts. A work of true unity.Aan dit concertwerk - geschreven voor de Harmonie Concorde uit Sanem in Luxemburg - liggen twee basisideeën ten grondslag. Als eerste de sociaal-economische context van het stadje: de mijnbouw heeft decennialang mensen uit diverselanden aangetrokken, met name Portugal. Dit wordt ge llustreerd door de verwerking van een authentiek arbeidslied uit dat land. De tweede pijler is de Europese gedachte die in Luxemburg duidelijk aanwezig is. Dit komt muzikaal totuiting in een dynamische thematiek en citaatjes uit Ode an die Freude van Beethoven en het Te Deum van Charpentier - de herkenningstune voor Eurovisie-uitzendingen. Concordia, een werk dat verschillende elementenin zich verenigt, staat symbool voor eenheid.Zwei Bilder des Landes Luxemburg bilden die Grundlage dieses ungewöhnlichen Werkes: Zunächst beschreiben schöne, teilweise düstere Klänge die Bergbauregion Luxemburg und ihre vielen Gastarbeiter.Mit Zitaten aus Beethovens Ode an die Freude und Charpentiers Te Deum wird Luxemburg als Sitz einiger wichtiger europäischer Institutionen vorgestellt. Der gemeinsame Nenner und Inspiration zum Titel Concordia - lateinisch für Einheit - ist das funktionierende Miteinander vielfältiger Kulturen und Interessen in so einem kleinen Land.Concordia est une oeuvre de commande pour l’Orchestre d’Harmonie Concorde de Sanem au Luxembourg. Cette pièce de concert inhabituelle s’appuie sur deux éléments principaux : l’évolution du contexte économique et social de cette ville luxembourgeoise située dans une région minière et l’idéal européen souligné par une riche palette de nuances et l’utilisation de quelques fragments de l’Hymne la Joie et du Te Deum. Concordia è un brano commissionato a Jan Van der Roost dall’Orchestra di Fiati Concorde di Sanem in Lussemburgo. Questo inusuale brano da concerto si appoggia su due elementi principali: l’evoluzione del contesto economico e sociale di questa citt lussemburghese situata in una regione mineraria, e l’ideale europeo evidenziato da una ricca gamma di suoni e dall’utilizzo di qualche frammento dell’Inno alla Gioia e del Te Deum.

Innbundet.Samlede klaververker + kritiske kommentarer.Welhavens Nokken kan sta som motto for Halfdan Kjerulfs livsverk - han var den forste norske komponisten som lyttet til nokkens sange, og evnet a skape et saerpreget norsk tonesprak som fikk avgjorende innflytelse pa den neste generasjonen i norsk musikkliv med Nordraak, Grieg og Svendsen i spissen. Men Kjerulf hadde apent sinn for verdiene bade i norsk og europeisk tonekunst. Han var nordmann og leipziger i skjonn forening, og stod kritisk vurderende overfor bade det norske og det europeiske. Hans egne komposisjoner avspeiler begge disse sider av hans interesse.Halfdan Kjerulfs samlede verker er utgitt av professor Nils Grinde. Utgaven er basert pa manuskripter og tidligere trykte utgaver, hovedsakelig i Norsk musikksamling, Universitetsbiblioteket i Oslo, men ogsa pa kilder i andre norske samlinger, og samlinger i Stockholm og Uppsala. Oystein Gaukstad var radgiver ved fastsettelsen av retningslinjene for utgaven, som har et praktisk og vitenskapelig formal.Kjerulfs samlede verker inneholder omtrent 380 verker: ca. 125 romanser, 110 klaverstykker, knapt 110 mannskorsatser og 35 andre verker. Av disse verkene er litt over 80 trykt her for forste gang. Da det er omtrent 10 forstegangstrykte verker blant romansene og et tilsvarende antall mellom klaverstykkene, er det her i bind 4 og 5 litt over 60 verker trykt for forste gang. Dette dreier seg delvis om leilighetskomposisjoner og verker av mindre betydning, men en del av de nytrykte komposisjonene gir ogsa meget betydelige bidrag til vart bilde av Kjerulf som komponist, og det er verker som bor fa en plass i vart musikkiv. Det bor ogsa tilfoyes at det i disse fem bindene finnes en betydelig mengde musikk som nok har vaert trykt tidligere, men som har vaert lie kjent og lite brukt.
