From my early years studying violin at the Tehran Music Conservatory, I was captivated by the sound of the kamancheh, an ancient Persian bowed instrument considered one of the ancestors to the modern violin. I was pleased when the National Endowment for the Arts awarded me a grant to write a violin concerto as it provided me with an occasion to rekindle my fascination with the kamancheh. The notion of writing a violin concerto that would incorporate the power and brilliance of a modern instrument with the delicate and lyrical character of an ancient one was simply irresistible. Moreover, the inspiration from the kamancheh also informed my use of Persian modes, melodic, and rhythmic figures. The notes of the violins open strings (G, D, A, E) also influenced many of the melodic and harmonic elements of my violin concerto. The opening tutti is mostly based on intervals of a perfect 4th and 5th. The primary material for each movement incorporates notes of two of the open strings of the violin, creating a three-note melodic motif as the basis of themes: 1 st movement: A-D-A 2nd movement: D-G-D 3rd movement: E-A-E The overall structure of the concerto is organic and cyclical, as themes are shared between the three movements. For example, the main musical idea of the third movement is a transformation of the first movements primary theme. While the movements share similar musical materials, each one is defined by distinguishing characters. The first movement is conflicted; alternating between sections of unabashed lyricism and unforgiving ferocity. The second movement is haunting, mysterious, and expressive with long melodic lines that vary continuously. It moves through different moods and characters including a reimagining of a traditional Persian wedding tune played by the orchestra (m. 98). The third movement is festive in character and features much brilliant passagework for the solo violin. At the climax of this movement, themes from the previous movements re-emerge simultaneously with greater intensity, propelling the concerto to an energetic finale. The Concerto was composed in 1994 and is dedicated to Joshua Bell.

The Stadtmusikkapelle Wilten-Innsbruck (Austria) invited Belgian composer Jan Van der Roost to write a work to mark the bicentenary of the Tyrolean fight for freedom, which was settled in 1809. Various musical elements reflect this historical event. First, a hymn-like section rings out, based on melodic fragments from the ‘Tiroler Landeshymne’ (by Leopold Knebelsberger), which intertwine in a counterpoint-like arrangement. The second passage is more bellicose in character, and mirrors the fight of the Tyroleans - under the inspiring leadership of freedom fighter Andreas Hofer (1767-1810) - against Bavarian, French and Italian troops. Next, a broad, chorale-style melodyappears again: here, the imposing beauty of nature in Tyrol, and the amiable, lively temperament of the people who live in this mountainous region, are glorified.This is neither a programmatic work around an historical reconstruction, nor a politically inspired work: it is a combination of factual and cultural components, with an artistic and sonorous character. The use of the flugelhorn in particular gives Tirol Terra Fortis its ‘couleur locale’: for this beautiful instrument can invariably be found in the Austrian wind band. The commissioning music society had therefore specifically asked the composer to incorporate the instrument in this work. It certainly enhances the already extensive colour palette of the modern concert band!

Een hymne bestaand uit fragmenten van het Tiroolse volkslied. Strijdlustige klanken in het tweede deel. Tot slot een melodie in koraalstijl die de bewoners van Tirol en de indrukwekkende schoonheid van de natuur beschrijft. Hebt ual een idee? Tirol Terra Fortis is een programmatisch werk rondom de geschiedenis van Andreas Hofer en de vrijheidsstrijd van Tirol 200 jaar geleden. De bugel geeft dit kunstzinnige en klankvolle werk zijn bijzondere ‘couleurlocale’.

Eine Hymne aus Fragmenten der Tiroler Landeshymne, kämpferische Klänge im zweiten Teil und schließlich eine Melodie im Choralstil, welche die eindrucksvolle Schönheit der Natur und die Menschen in Tirol beschreibt. Sie haben es erraten? Tirol Terra Fortis ist ein programmatisches Werk rund um die Geschichte Andreas Hofers und den Freiheitskampf Tirols vor 200 Jahren. Der Einsatz des Flügelhorns verleiht diesem künstlerischen und klangvollen Werk ein besonderes Lokalkolorit.

Le compositeur belge Jan Van der Roost a composé cette œuvre la demande de l’Orchestre d’Harmonie Municipal de Wilten-Innsbruck en Autriche pour les cérémonies commémoratives du bicentenaire de l’insurrection tyrolienne de 1809. Plusieurs éléments musicaux reflètent cet événement historique travers un climat joliment évolutif. L’orchestre énonce un thème hymnique basé sur des fragments mélodiques de l’hymne officiel du Land du Tyrol (ou Hymne d’Andreas Hofer composé par Leopold Knebelsberger) qui se mélangent et se confondent dans un arrangement en forme de contrepoint. Le dessin belliqueux du second mouvement rappelle la lutte des Tyroliens contre les troupesbavaroises, françaises et italiennes, l’instigation du combattant de la liberté Andreas Hofer (1767-1810). Enfin, on retrouve une mélodie de style choral qui évoque avec ferveur l’imposante beauté des paysages du Tyrol, et transmet la chaleur et le caractère jovial des habitants de cette région montagneuse. Tirol Terra Fortis n’est ni une reconstruction historique en musique (autrement dit, une œuvre programme), ni une œuvre politique. Son contenu repose sur une combinaison d’éléments factuels et culturels qui s’expriment travers une trame artistique très expressive. Le bugle a su conserver la fidélité des Orchestres d’Harmonie autrichiens. Intégré dans la texture orchestrale de cette œuvre de commande la demande expresse de la formation dédicataire, le bugle donne une couleur locale la composition et enrichit la large gamme des couleurs sonores de l’Orchestre d’Harmonie.

Intermezzi from the opera Under Himlen was composed by Bent Sorensen in 2003. Scored for 2 Mezzosoparanos and Orchestra. Text by Peter Asmussen. Programme Note: In March 2003, when the Royal Theatre premiered the composer Bent Sorensen's and the dramatist Peter Asmussen's opera Under the Sky, it was not only Bent Sorensen's first opera on the large scale, but also his first work as a music dramatist at all. The challenge of composing an opera came from the general manager of the Danish National Symphony Orchestra/DR, Per Erik Veng, who had asked Asmussen in 1996 whether he would write the libretto for an opera and pick out a composer to work with on it. Asmussen was willing, and he pointed to Bent Sorensen as the composer. Bent Sorensen reacted positively to Per Erik Veng's suggestion of an opera collaboration with Asmussen, and with the opera agreement settled, the Danish National Symphony Orchestra/DR was then offered an independent work. It is related to the opera, but sheds light on it from a different angle - Bent Sorensen himself compares it to a film 'trailer'. The result is Intermezzi, a suite in five movements. Intermezzi is expressly not just a garland of selected episodes from the opera, but an independent work built up in one long symmetrical sequence with instrumental passages in the middle of the first, third and fifth movements as well as the purely instrumental second and fourth movements, as the bearing pillars of the work. Fragments of the story of Ida and Molte (both mezzo-sopranos) are told, but they do not happen in the same order or with the same conclusion as in the opera. In this way Intermezzi becomes a comment on how not everything in the past is necessarily what it seems, or what one at first makes of it. In the first movement Ida sings to Magius that she is carrying Molte's child, while from afar Molte observes the idyllic world from the outside. The second movement is instrumental, while the third begins with Ida's love aria, which merges into a great instrumental passage before the movement ends with Molte's cynical remark that Ida is simply a fairytale, a book one closes. After a brief instrumental fourth movement comes the fifth, where Molte laments his coldness and isolation amidst all the riches, and seduces Ida by urging her to liberate him with her warmth.

An Emerald Jubilee celebrates a 40th anniversary. Jan de Haan composed this colourfully orchestrated concert march to celebrate Will van der Beek’s 40th anniversary as conductor of the Deutsche Musikverein Haaren. As publisher of van der Beek’s transcriptions of classical works Jan de Haan can look back on many years of successful collaboration with the knowledge that there will be many more to come. Unusually cast in a minor key, the main theme provides an interesting contrast to the more melodic major key of the second movement. The relatively slow theme gives this march a dignified stately and subdued quality.

Een veertigjarig jubileum? Dat is een smaragden jubileum! En zo ontstond de titel voor Emerald Jubilee, refererend aan het veertigjarige jubileum van Wil van der Beek als dirigent bij de Duitse muziekvereniging Haaren. Jande Haan componeerde deze kleurrijke mars. Als voormalig uitgever van de klassieke transcripties van Wil van der Beek kan Jan de Haan terugblikken op vele jaren van succesvolle samenwerking met deze componist. De ongewone toonsoortvan het hoofdthema in mineur en het melodische middendeel in majeur zorgen voor een fraai contrast, het relatief langzame thema verschaft de mars zijn grootse maar tevens behouden karakter.

Ein Emerald Jubilee“ - ein smaragdenes Jubiläum - wird zum Vierzigjährigen gefeiert. So komponierte Jan de Haan diesen klangfarbenreich orchestrierten Marsch zu Wil van der Beeks 40. Dirigenten-Jubiläum beim deutschen Musikverein Haaren. Als Herausgeber von Wil van der Beeks Transkriptionen klassischer Werke kann Jan de Haan auf eine lange erfolgreiche Zusammenarbeit mit ihm zurückblicken. Aus der Moll- Tonart in f-Moll des Hauptthemas und dem melodischen mittleren Satz in Dur ergibt sich ein schöner Kontrast; das relativ langsame Thema verleiht dem Marsch seinen erhabenen und gedämpften Charakter.

Pour célébrer les quarante ans de carrière (jubilé d’émeraude) de son confrère, Wil van der Beek, Jan de Haan a composé cette marche de concert l’orchestration colorée. Si, traditionnellement, les marches festives sont écrites dans une tonalité majeure, Jan de Haan s’est affranchi de cette logique pour installer son thème principal dans la tonalité de Fa mineur. Ce faisant, il obtient un charmant contraste avec le passage central mélodique, écrit dans une tonalité majeure. En choisissant un tempo relativement lent, l’œuvre prend une tournure majestueuse, parfois retenue.

This work was commissioned by the All Japan Band Association (Chiba Prefecture) to commemorate their 45th anniversary. The composer, Satoshi Yagisawa, was requested to write a march that was easy enough for junior high school students to play, and was based on the folk songs in Chiba Prefecture. After several months of research the composer finally discovered Boushu Oiwake, a lyrical folk song sung with the Japanese bamboo flute and shamisen (three-stringed Japanese instrument). After the composition process has been completed we have here a fantastic triumphant march sure to ?raise the roof? at any performance.

Dit werk is gebaseerd op de volksmuziek uit de Chiba-prefectuur. Aanvankelijk was het erg moeilijk om een geschikt volkslied te vinden voor een mars, maar na een aantal maanden zoeken ontdekte de componist Boushu Oiwake, eenlyrisch volkslied voor zang, de Japanse bamboefluit en de shamisen (een Japans instrument met drie snaren). Hij bouwde de mars op volgens zijn eigen muzikale ideeën met als basis het betreffende volkslied. De expressie varieert,afhankelijk van de tempi en de interpretaties van passages. Geef uw orkest de mogelijkheid om een unieke uitvoering van March-Bou-Shu te geven.

Der japanische Komponist Satoshi Yagisawa kreierte March-Bou- Shu in seiner eigenen Tonsprache, unter Verwendung eines Volksliedes aus seiner Heimat, dem Regierungsbezirk Chiba. Die Aufführung des Stückes gewinnt durch die Auslotung der ursprünglichen Spielweise des Liedes. Die verschiedenen Spielweisen variieren je nach Tempo und Interpretation einzelner Passagen und erlauben Ihrem Blasorchester ganz individuelle Spielweisen zu entwickeln.

Trouver une mélodie traditionnelle qui puisse convenir au style d’une marche ne fut pas chose facile. Après plusieurs mois de recherches, le compositeur découvre finalement la mélodie Boushu Oiwake, un chant traditionnel extrêmement mélodieux accompagné par une fl te en bambou et un shamisen (luth trois cordes). March-Bou-Shu trouve son sens dans l’expression musicale propre au compositeur. Votre interprétation trouvera son originalité dans le choix des tempi et l’expressivité des passages.

Non è facile trovare una melodia tradizionale adatta allo stile di una marcia. Dopo parecchi mesi di ricerca, il compositore scopre la melodia Boushu Oiwake, un canto tradizionale molto melodioso accompagnato da un flauto in bambu e da un shamisen (liuto a tre corde). March-Bou-Shu riflette lo stile musicale caratteristico del compositore. La scelta dei tempi e l’espressivit dei passaggi da parte degli esecutori dar un’impronta originale alla composizione.

A Midwest Celebration is geschreven voor de Decatur Municipal Band uit Illinois in de Verenigde Staten, ter gelegenheid van het 150-jarig bestaan van dit orkest. Philip Sparke kreeg de opdracht een werk te schrijven dat rechtzou doen aan de lange geschiedenis van het orkest - met een weerspiegeling van het gevarieerde repertoire, dat bestaat uit traditionele kost, zoals ouvertures en marsen, maar dat ook nieuwe, originele werken en arrangementen bevat.A Midwest Celebration is gebaseerd op de populaire negentiende-eeuwse orkestouvertures van componisten als Berlioz, Verdi en Suppé.

Für den schwungvollen Auftakt dieser Hommage an ein Blasorchester, das Traditionelles und moderne Originalwerke in seinem Repertoire vereint, nahm sich Philip Sparke die Ouvertüren eines Berlioz, Verdi oder Suppé zum Vorbild. Dem setzte er als zweites Thema eine heitere Melodie entgegen, die durch verschiedene Teile des Blasorchesters gereicht und weiterentwickelt wird, bevor sich im Höhepunkt beide Ideen treffen und das Werk beenden.

Le Midwest est une vaste région du centre des États-Unis, entre la Côte Est et l'Ouest américain. Fondé le 19 septembre 1857, l’Orchestre d’Harmonie Municipal de Decatur (Illinois, États-Unis) est une des plus anciennes formations civiles américaines. Depuis sa création, l’orchestre n’a jamais cessé de participer activement la vie florissante de la cité, se produisant lors de concerts en intérieur ou en plein air, de parades ou de certains événements spéciaux. la demande de Jim Culbertson, directeur musical de l’orchestre, Philip Sparke fut chargé d’écrire une pièce qui illustre la longue et riche histoire de la formation travers un répertoire varié qui s’étend de l’universclassique avec ses ouvertures et marches jusqu’aux œuvres originales et arrangements d’œuvres récents.A Midwest Celebration s’inspire de quelques célèbres ouvertures orchestrales du XIXe siècle écrites par de grands compositeurs tels que Berlioz, Verdi et Suppé. L’introduction est florissante. Tout s’apaise lorsqu’apparaît une mélodie aux courbes harmonieuses, jouée par les cors, les clarinettes et les saxophones. Mais peine commence-t-il se développer que le thème est brutalement interrompu par l’intervention des trompettes qui ouvrent un vertigineux passage Vivace, illuminé par des fanfares brillantes (cuivres) et une profusion d’éléments d’ornementation (bois). Les cors reprennent l’exposition de la mélodie initiale soutenus par la douceur ondulante des fl tes. Soudain, les lignes mélodiques du Vivace resurgissent et balayent la musique pour progresser vers leur intensité maximale, point de rencontre entre les deux thématiques qui mènent le composition vers sa conclusion.
