This work follows my Quartet No. 1 by five years. In terms of style and aesthetic aim, however, it seems light years away. Where the first work, a 28-minute, four-movement piece, took aim at cosmic conflicts and heroic resolutions, the present work is intended as a kind of divertissment. Harbor Music lasts a mere eleven minutes, is cast in a single movement with six sections, and should leave both performers and listeners with a feeling of good humor and affection.   The title comes from my experience as a guest in the magnificent city of Sydney, Australia. One of its most attractive features is its unique system of ferry boats: the city is laid out around a large, multi-channeled harbor, with destinations more easily approached by water than by land. Consequently, inhabitants of Sydney get around on small, people-friendly boats that come and go from the central docks at Circular Quay. During a week's visit in 1991, I must have boarded these boats at least a dozen times, always bound for a new location - the resort town of Manley, or the Zoo at Taronga Park, or the shopping district at Darling Harbour.   In casting about for a form for my second string quartet, a kind of loose rondo came to mind. Each new destination would be approached from the same starting-out point (although there are subtle variations in the repeating theme; it's always in a new key, and the texture is never the same). The result, I hope, is a sense of constant new information presented with introductory frames of a more familiar nature.   The embarkation theme, which begins the piece, is a sort of bi-tonal fanfare in which the violins are in G major and the viola and cello are in B-flat major. It is bold, eager, and forward-looking. The first voyage maintains this bi-tonality, beginning as a 9/8 due for second violin and viola in a kind of rocking motion -much as a boat produces when reaching the deeper water in the harbor. A sweet, nostalgic theme emerges over this rocking accompaniment. This music is developed somewhat, then transforms quickly into a much faster and lighter episode, filled with rising and falling scales (again, in differing keys). A scherzando interlude in short notes and changing meters provides contrast, and the episode ends with a reprise of the scales.   The second embarkation follows, this time in A major/C major. It leads quickly into a very warm and slow theme, in wide-leaping intervals for the viola. This section is interrupted twice by solo cadenzas for the cello, suggesting distant boat-horns in major thirds. The end of the episode becomes a transition, with boat-horns leading into the final appearance of the embarkation music, this time in trills and tremolos instead of sharply accented chords. The nostalgic theme of the first episode makes a final appearance, serving now as a coda. The rocking motion continues, in a lullaby fashion, leaving us drowsy and satisfied on our homeward journey.   Harbor Music was written for the Cavani Quartet, and is dedicated to Richard J. Bogomolny. Commissioned by his employees at First National Supermarkets as a gift, it represents a thank you from many of the people (including this composer) who have benefitted from his vision and generosity. An ardent advocate of chamber music (and a cellist himself), Mr. Bogomolny has for many years been Chairman of the Board of Chamber Music America. -- Dan Welcher.

Fanfare Band - Grade 3

Wir schlüpfen in die Haut von Miguel und reisen mit ihm nach Australien. Einigermaßen entfremdet von seiner spanischen Heimat schlendert er durch das Viertel The Rocks in Sydney. Auf einem kleinen Markt entdeckt er einen Druck des Gemäldes Pacific Dreams von William DeShazo. Das Bild stellt die Meeresbrandung auf einer exotischen Insel im Pazifik dar. Während die eindrucksvolle Harbour Bridge von Sidney vor ihm auftaucht, ist er in Gedanken bei den heißen Stränden im Stillen Ozean. Auf einmal kommt ihm das Thema in den Sinn, das er einst über die Gewässer Japans komponiert hatte. Liegt es an den asiatischen Einflüssen, die im kosmopolitischen Sydney so vielfältig vertretensind? Oder sind es die Wasser rund um Sydney, über die er nach Tahiti segeln könnte? Er ist sich unsicher. Könnte er genau dieses Thema für eine neue Komposition über die Metropole Sydney verwenden? Wie sollte er seine Träume vom Pazifik, seine Pacific Dreams, in diese Mixtur einbringen? Vielleicht könnte er den Wortschatz von Inseln wie Hawaii und Tahiti für seine Komposition verwenden. Und einen gemischten Chor die schönen Vokalverbindungen ad libitum singen lassen. Mit diesen Ideen im Kopf steigt er in die Metro am Circular Quay. Auf ins Hotel und frisch ans Werk! Jetzt muss er einfach komponieren....

The United East India Company, or Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie (VOC) was one of the first international trading companies in the Netherlands. Voyage With The VOC follows the route of a ship (first movement) on a visit to the Rajah of Yogakarta (second movement) to load up the ship before returning home (third movement). The fourth movement describes the hard life of a sailor before the fifth movement sees the ship safely to harbour once again.

Mede door de geografische ligging is Nederland sinds jaar en dag een belangrijke handelsnatie. Eén van de eerste multinationals was de ‘Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie’ (VOC). Het doel van de VOC was schepen naar Azië te sturen ompeper en specerijen te kopen en het Portugese monopolie over te nemen. De VOC werd een succes. De Gouden Eeuw brak aan en het was een tijd van grote welvaart. Naast een bloeiende economie floreerden ook de schilderkunst (Rembrandtvan Rijn) en de wetenschap (Constantijn Huygens).Inhoud: The Sails are set, A Visit to the Rajah of Yogyakarta, The Holds have been loaded, Death sails along en A joyful homecoming.

Die Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie (VOC) war eine der ersten internationalen Handelsgesellschaften der Niederlande. Voyage with the VOC verfolgt ein Schiff vom Ablegen an (1. Satz) auf eine seiner Reisen. Nach einem Besuch beim Rajah von Yogakarta (2. Satz) wird das Schiff beladen und die Heimreise angetreten (3. Satz). Der vierte Satz beschreibt das harte Leben auf See, das Risiken wie Schiffsbruch, Krankheiten und Tod in sich barg, bevor im fünften Satz das Schiff schließlich glücklich heimkehrt.

La société Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie (VOC), a été l’une des premières agences de négoce international des Pays-Bas. Voyage with the VOC décrit les péripéties d’un navire en partance pour l’Asie dans une oeuvre en 5 mouvements : les voiles sont hissées et il y beaucoup d’animation sur le quai - le voyage aura duré de nombreuses semaines, enfin, le lieu de destination est atteint - une visite au Rajah de Yogyakarta s’impose - les cales sont remplies d’épices, le voyage de retour peut être amorcé - mort sous les voiles, un marin est décédé - après plusieurs mois d’absence, le retour quai est chaleureux et festif !

La compagnia delle Indie Occidentali (Vereenigde Oostindische Companie/VOC in olandese) fu una delle prime societ di commercio dell’Olanda. Voyage with the VOC segue una nave nel suo viaggio (primo movimento). Dopo una visita al rajah di Yogakarta (secondo movimento), la nave viene caricata ed ha inizio il viaggio di ritorno (terzo movimento). Il quarto movimento descrive la dura vita in alto mare, i rischi di avaria, di malattie e addirittura di morte prima di attraccare. Il quinto movimento descrive la nave che arriva felicemente a destinazione.
