Commissioned by the Norwegian Band Federation and Tom Brevik. Composed in 1991. The composer:Elegy and March was one of my first original compositions (no quotations, no folk-tunes) and it was one of my earliest attempts to experiment with form. The elegy-part is quite obvious, but the march is not quite a march. If the elegy-part tells a sad story, then the march should tell a happy story. My problem is that I don¬?t think life is like that. Result: the march collapses! De liefhebbers van de muziek van de Scandinaviër Aagaard-Nilsen kunnen hun hart ophalen bij dit bijzondere werk. In de tweedelige compositie zijn de delen thematisch aan elkaarverwant. De Elegy is een verstild werkje met prachtige klankvelden. Alle instrumenten komen aan bod maar nooit tegelijk. Hoe anders is dat in de mars waarbij ragfijn orkestspel wordt gevraagd. De componist: Elegy and March was een van mijn eerste originele werken (geen citaten, geen volksliedjes) en het was een van mijn eerste pogingen om te experimenteren met vorm. De elegie deel is vrij duidelijk, maar de mars is niet helemaal een mars. Als het elegie-deel een triest verhaal vertelt, dan zou de mars een gelukkig verhaal moeten vertellen. Mijn idee is dat dat in het echte leven ook niet zo is. Resultaat: de mars stort totaal in!Weer iets totaal anders van de Noorse meester! Gobelin Music Publications.

In autumn 1895, after returning from New York once and for all, Dvorák took up his former position as teacher at the Prague Conservatory. This clearly had an inspiring impact on him because in the space of just four weeks he composed a new string quartet in G major. Together with the Quartet in A-flat major op. 105, it forms a glorious close to his chamber music oeuvre. Echoes of Bohemian folk music are here mixed with cantabile themes, while his motivic working shows him to be a master at the height of his powers. Even today, it seems almost as if we can feel the composer's satisfaction with this work: “I am working so easily and it is going so smoothly that I could not wish it better.â€.

Vivaldi's setting of Psalm 113 (Psalm 114 in the Protestant Bible) In exitu Israel was probably composed in 1739. Strings and basso continuo accompany the homophonically-written vocal parts. The text of this psalm - the longest of all the vesper psalms - was set by Vivaldi in an extremely condensed composition. Despite its brevity, his fine feeling for the emotional content of the text is wonderfully expressed. Even in this one-movement work the composer creates space for variety by not only varying the string accompaniment, but also playing with the keys effectively and sometimes in surprising ways, or hinting at the responsorial style of psalm settings. Score and parts available separately - see item CA.4001800.

Japanese composer Naoya Wada's engaging composition is full of rhythmic energy and vitality. Scored to help mid-level bands perform at their highest level, the technical demands are reasonable, but the musical rewards will be great.

Adornia is a word invented by the composer with a similar meaning as ‘to adorn’, which means 'to embellish'. The thematic cornerstones are DORN, after the commissioning band CMV Juliana in Doornspijk, Netherlands. It also contains the chorale ‘Schmücke dich, du liebe Seele’ used several times in different variations. Adornia contains beautiful melodies, broad dynamic passages and has a spectacular conclusion. Adornia is een fantasiewoord afgeleid van het Engelse werkwoord ‘to adorn’, dat tooien, versieren, opluisteren betekent. Adornia is dan ook in de eerste plaats een compositie ter opluistering van het honderdjarig jubileum van de CMV Juliana uitDoornspijk. Maar het gaat ook over het dorp Doornspijk zelf en zijn omgeving. Het is geen toeval dat de letters D-O-R-N uit de titel terugkomen in de plaatsnaam. Omdat Doornspijk van oudsher uitgesproken kerkelijk is, bevat dit werk een koraalthema,dat steeds vanuit een nieuw perspectief klinkt. Het kerkelijke wordt zo afgewisseld met het wereldlijke, waarin beide elementen niet contrasteren maar elkaar aanvullen. De gekozen Duitse koraalmelodie, oorspronkelijk van Johann Crüger, heet ‘Schmückedich, du liebe Seele’ (‘Tooi je feestelijk, o dierbare ziel’ alweer een verwijzing naar de titel).De inleiding verwijst naar de tweede zin van het koraal: ‘Laat de duistere poel van zonden achter je’. Het werk begint in mineur, waarin een gedreven majestueuze ritmiek afgewisseld wordt met de zachte koraalklanken. Dan volgt een snellere,beweeglijke cadans, eveneens hoofdzakelijk in mineur. De ritmische impuls symboliseert de zware landarbeid die in vroeger tijden verricht werd, maar ook wordt hierin de landarbeidersziel verklankt, die ondanks de armoede ‘getooid’ is met optimisme.Dat vertaalt zich door het gebruik van versieringen (trillers en triolen).De daaropvolgende pastorale weerspiegelt het dorp en zijn prachtige omgeving. De bijna Rheingoldachtige muziek klinkt nu in majeur. Wel is er een uitstapje naar mineur, waarin het armoedige boerenleven nog even vanuit het verleden weerklinkt. Maardan zorgt de door het scherp koper ingezette koraalmelodie voor de opmaat van een nog uitbundiger weergave van het pastorale thema. Het dorp en het omliggende landschap worden bejubeld met klanken die doen denken aan jachtgeschal.Dan klinkt de koraalmelodie zacht gedragen in fragmenten, afgewisseld met ornamentele lijnen in de saxen en klokken die de zondag inluiden. De strakke ritmische cadans keert vervolgens terug. Er zijn echter veranderingen hoorbaar: de mechanisatieheeft haar intrede gedaan. Toch horen we plotseling nog een paard-en-wagen voorbijkomen als in het dorp de traditionele boerenmarkt wordt gehouden. De nieuwe dynamiek voert naar een hoogtepunt en mondt uit in het koraal, deze keer in een gedragenmars, met een sierlijke bovenstem van bugels en sopraansax. Hier wordt het vervolg van de koraaltekst verklankt: ‘Kom naar het heldere licht en straal het uit’. Adornia eindigt feestelijk met hetzelfde motief waarmee het begon, maar nu in majeur. Defanfare maakt nog eenmaal ‘goede sier’!Adornia est un mot inventé par le compositeur fondé sur le mot anglais pour décorer ou orner, « to adorn ». Le fondement thématique est basé sur DORN, d’après la fanfare commandante, CMV Juliana de Doornspijk aux Pays-Bas. Le choral Schmücke dich, du liebe Seele figure plusieurs fois dans des variations différentes. Adornia contient des mélodies magnifiques, de vastes passages dynamiques et une conclusion impressionnante.

Italian composer Ottorino Respighi wrote several operas, ballet music,chamber music, piano and organ works as well as Cantatas in a stylemuch influenced by the French Impressionists mixed with his uniquepersonal style. The Japanese arranger Yoshihiro Kimura has skilfullyadapted Respighi?s symphonic poem Fontane di Roma for concertbands of an advanced level. Ottorino Respighi schrieb mehrere Opern, Ballettmusik, Kammermusik, Klavier- und Orgelwerke sowie Kantaten in einem vom französischen Impressionismus geprägten, jedoch auch sehr eigenständigen Stil. Auch das sinfonische Gedicht Fontane di Roma, das Yoshihiro Kimura geschickt für Blasorchester umsetzte, hat eine ganz eigene Note, die es interessant für Spieler und Zuhörer macht. D’abord élève du Liceo Musicale de Bologne, le compositeur et violoniste italien Ottorino Respighi (1879-1936) suit l’enseignement de Rimski-Korsakov Saint-Pétersbourg, où il fut quelque temps alto solo de l'Orchestre de l'Opéra. En 1908, alors qu’il séjourne Berlin, il reçoit les conseils de Max Bruch.De retour en Italie, il entreprend une carrière de violoniste et d'altiste avant d’être nommé professeur de composition au Conservatoire Sainte-Cécile de Rome dont il deviendra directeur en 1924. Deux ans plus tard, Respighi démissionne de ce poste afin de pouvoir se consacrer pleinement la composition.Ottorino Respighi est considéré comme l'un des plus grandscompositeurs italiens du début du XXe siècle. Auteur de plusieurs opéras, de ballets, de quelques cantates et œuvres de musique de chambre, de mélodies pour orgue et piano, Respighi s’est acquis la notoriété mondiale notamment par le triptyque symphonique Fontane di Roma (Les Fontaines de Rome), Pini di Roma (Les Pins de Rome) et Feste Romane (Fêtes romaines). Son style unique a été profondément influencé par les impressionnistes français, par Rimski-Korsakov et Richard Strauss.Le compositeur-arrangeur japonais Yoshihiro Kimura a réalisé une superbe adaptation pour Orchestre d’Harmonie du poème symphonique Les Fontaines de Rome d'Ottorino Respighi.

This volume brings together Mozart's youthful attempts at this later so central genre of the string quartet: the astonishing “Lodi Quartet†K. 80 by the only fourteen-year-old composer, the three “Quartet-Divertimenti†K. 136-138 which are also readily played by chamber orchestras, and Mozart's first true string-quartet cycle K. 155-160 which was composed during his third (north-)Italian journey in 1772/73. Mozart's cleanly written scores of all the compositions have been preserved so that the edition stands on a secure foundation. In his informative commentary, Wolf-Dieter Seiffert, the experienced Mozart editor at G. Henle Publishers, devotes a separate, comprehensive explanatory section to the well-known articulation problem “dot or wedge.†The Armida Quartet provided artistic input for this edition.

The French-speaking Flemish singer, composer and lyricist Jacques Brel was born in Brussels in 1929. In the 1950s, he broke away from his bourgeois social background of his family and started an artist’s life in Paris, where he initially wrote chansons and earned a living by performing in small cabarets and bars. Over the following years he achieved worldwide fame with his chansons, which were alternately harsh and melancholic Roland Kernen has selected a number of the wonderful chansons written by this most creative artist to produce this unforgettable chanson medley.De Franstalige Vlaamse zanger, componist en tekstschrijver Jacques Brel (1929-1978) spreekt ook vandaag de dag nog tot de verbeelding en zijn muziek is nog altijd geliefd. In zijn Brel-medley voor harmonieorkest verwerkte RolandKernen een aantal van de prachtige chansons die deze onvergetelijke artiest schreef: Vesoul, Amsterdam, Ne me quitte pas (Laat me niet alleen) en La valse mille temps.Mit seinen Chansons, die mal barsche, mal melancholische Töne aufweisen, erlangte der flämische Sänger, Komponist und Lyriker Jacques Brel in den fünfziger und sechziger Jahren des vergangenen Jahrhunderts Weltruhm. Auch weit über seinen Tod im Jahr 1978 hinaus kennt und liebt die Welt seine Lieder. In seinem Medley für Blasorchester verarbeitete Roland Kernen einige der wundervollen Chansons dieses unvergessenen Künstlers. Auteur, compositeur, chanteur, acteur, cinéaste mais avant tout poète, Jacques Brel (1929-1978) a magnifié la chanson française.Par la justesse de ses textes, par son talent d’interprétation, cet artiste - obsédé par la mort et amoureux de la vie - a su trouver les mots qui, génération après génération, continuent de nous toucher. Près de trente ans après sa mort, sa voix, sa désespérance et sa rage résonnent toujours en nous. Autore, compositore, cantante, attore, cineasta ma soprattutto poeta, Jacques Brel (1929-1978) ha rappresentato magnificamente la canzone francese. Con i suoi testi, il suo talento di interpretazione, questo artista - ossesso dalla morte e innamorato della vita - ha saputo trovare le parole che continuano a commuoverci anche trent’anni dopo la sua morte.

Tiina Myllärinen's (b. 1979) (Bad) Dreams come true for strings quartet (2022) was composed when war broke out in Europe. The composer tells: The shock, and the daily news barrage of battles could not help making an impression on my work and its material. I wondered what dreams and plans people had in Ukraine before the war, and how everything became a nightmare in a single night. Terror, fear and tension found their way into the work, along with memories of life in the past and dreams of a different future. The work is dedicated to the people of Ukraine; to the dreams that will hopefully soon come true.This product includes the full score and a set of parts.Tiina Myllärinen’s music has been described as cheerfully inquisitive, vigorous and original. Her works include Squarcio for ensemble, the orchestral what? (2010) and Traces (2013, commissioned by the Pro Musica Foundation and premiered at the Helsinki Music Centre on 5 June 2014) and Three Songs for voice, guitar and cello (2007).

The 48 Preludi of the Venetian composer Renato de Grandis (1927-2008) were created, in large part, in the years 1998-2002. It was only subsequently that he arranged them in 4 cycles of 12 preludes each, while also drawing back on older compositions. Written in a traditional pianistic style, they are short sketches which are sometimes characterized by musical thoughts, sometimes by moods or natural phenomena. The fourth volume presented here is once again divided into two cycles of 6 preludes each, with the first cycle paying tribute to the landscapes and towns of Friuli north of Venice.

Composed at various times of the composer's life, Lirica Catalana op. 14 [Catalan Lyric] is an anthology of Catalan texts from various authors and reviews of popular songs. This is the same process Comellas followed in Lirica Castellana and Lirica Inglesa. The songs of these groups do not have a musical connection, but more a linguistic connection. The melodic flow in the different groups, shows how the text and the language used, produced a concrete response Comellas' harmonic vocabulary.The highlight of this group is the Cant de la Sibil·la [Song of the Sybil·la], a liturgical drama and Gregorian chant, whose lyrics recounts a prophecy of the Apocalypse and was originally interpreted in Latin. From the thirteenth century there are versions in Catalan. These earlier versions Judici Signum weren't direct translations from Latin, but came from previous adaptations Old Provencal and Old Catalan, which gives us the idea of the enormous popularity of this song must have had in the past. The text by Comellas used is one of the most popular in Catalonia.
