La mélodie originale de « A vous dirai-je maman » n'est pas composé par le célèbre Mozart. La première publication de cette comptine date de 1761 dans les « amusements d'une Heure et Demy » par Mr Bouin. Le thème musical est aussi associé à une des plus populaires chansons enfantines anglaises intitulée « Twinkle, twinkle, star » (brille, brille, petite étoile).
Cette version française devait être familière à Mozart pour qu'il compose à l'âge de 22 ans, douze variations d'après cette comptine. Etant donné le tempérament ambitieux et sévère de son père, il est probable que Mozart est choisi la mélodie de cette comptine pour le taquiner. D'une nature bonne enfant, celui ci appréciait les plaisanteries et les jeux de mots intelligents.
Ces délicieuses variations rafraîchissent par une frivolité pianistique. Fermez les yeux, Mozart nous a préparé un voyage initiatique à travers le monde merveilleux de l'enfance.

1982 saw the publication of a melody for written for bagpipes by the name of Highland Cathedral—a name that draws its inspiration from a famous neo-Gothic church in Glasgow, Scotland. Since its first appearance, Highland Cathedral has enjoyed a triumphant tour around the globe, often acknowledged as an enthusiastic tribute to the nation of Scotland. Anthony Gröger’s version for string quartet combines this passionate character with unmistakeable echoes of the Scottish feel of the original work. Here then is this true classic, especially popular at wedding ceremonies, now arranged for string quartet.

In het jaar 1982 werd een voor doedelzak geschreven melodie gepubliceerd, waarvan de titel Highland Cathedral was ge nspireerd op een beroemde neogotische kerk in het Schotse Glasgow. Sindsdien heeft het stuk gaandeweg de wereld veroverd en wordt het vaak ten gehore gebracht als enthousiast eerbetoon aan Schotland. Anthony Grögers versie voor vier strijkers combineert dat gepassioneerde karakter met onmiskenbare echo’s van de Schotse sfeer van het origineel. Een geliefde klassieker, veelvuldig gespeeld op bruiloften, is nu dus ook verkrijgbaar in een arrangement voor strijkkwartet.

Im Jahre 1982 wurde eine für Dudelsack geschriebene Melodie erstmals veröffentlicht, deren Name Highland Cathedral auf einen berühmten neogotischen Kirchenbau im schottischen Glasgow anspielt. Seitdem hat sie ihren Siegeszug um die Welt angetreten und wird oft als enthusiastisches Bekenntnis zur schottischen Nation aufgefasst. Anthony Grögers Version für Streichquartett verbindet diesen leidenschaftlichen Charakter mit unverkennbaren Anklängen an das schottische Klangidiom des Originals. Ein beliebter Klassiker, vor allem auf Hochzeitsfeiern, steht somit nun auch Streichquartett-Formationen zur Verfügung.

Publiée pour la première fois en 1982, la mélodie pour cornemuse « Highland Cathedral » fait référence une célèbre église de style néogothique de Glasgow, en Écosse. Souvent perçue comme un hommage enthousiaste la nation écossaise, cette mélodie entama dès lors une marche triomphale travers le monde. La version pour quatuor cordes d’Anthony Gröger allie ce même caractère passionné aux sonorités écossaises, indissociables du langage sonore caractéristique de l’original. Un classique très populaire, notamment lors des mariages, désormais disponible pour quatuor cordes.

Het is het eerste werk uit een reeks waarin Jacob deHaan amusementsmuziek en serieuze muziek vermengd tot een muziekstijl die aan filmmuziek doet denken.

ISBN 9790577022581. Words by Vikram Seth.

Earth and Sky was commissioned by the BBC for the Proms 2000 season. In keeping with the millennial theme, a work presenting a vision of the future was requested. Trying to be helpful, the BBC provided me with the predictions of various pundits, but their ideas seemed dizzyingly contradictory. Then the simple thought struck me that however varied and complex the answers, the big questions will always remain the same. We may now have a map of the human genome, but how to use the map? How shall I know where I should go? How may I see the I that's me?
As a musician I am hopeful that, no matter how the world develops, future generations will still come together to dance and sing and play. The mysterious power of music to bind us socially and inspire us individually seems to be built into our genes. So, a song of questions; a song about music---these were the ideas which I took to Vikram Seth, who had generously agreed to write the words for me. The resulting poem provided lots of inspiration. It is entirely monosyllabic, enabling considerable variety of rhythmic treatment. I love its permutations and its imagery of paradox and inversion and I have amused myself by playing similar games with the musical material. But there is seriousness as well as fun---the text's juxtaposition of the certainty of death with the search for purpose in life achieves great poignancy when sung by young voices.

Commissioned by the San Francisco Choral Society and the Piedmont East Bay Children’s Choir, Terra Nostra is a 70-minute oratorio on the relationship between our planet and humankind, how this relationship has shifted over time, and how we can re-establish a harmonious balance. Part I: Creation of the World explores various creation myths from different cultures, culminating in a joyous celebration of the beauty of our planet. Part II: The Rise of Humanity examines human achievements, particularly since the dawn of our Industrial Age, and how these achievements have impacted the planet. Part III: Searching for Balance questions how to create more awareness for our planet’s plight, re-establish a deeper connection to it, and find a balance for living within our planet’s resources. In addition to the complete oratorio, stand-alone movements for mixed chorus, and for solo voice with piano, are also available separately.
Terra Nostra focuses on the relationship between our planet and mankind, how this relationship has shifted over time, and how we can re-establish a harmonious balance. The oratorio is divided into three parts:Part I: Creation of the World celebrates the birth and beauty of our planet. The oratorio begins with creation myths from India, North America, and Egypt that are integrated into the opening lines of Genesis from the Old Testament. The music surges forth from these creation stories into “God’s World” by Edna St. Vincent Millay, which describes the world in exuberant and vivid detail. Percy Bysshe Shelley’s “On thine own child” praises Mother Earth for her role bringing forth all life, while Walt Whitman sings a love song to the planet in “Smile O voluptuous cool-breathed earth!” Part I ends with “A Blade of Grass” in which Whitman muses how our planet has been spinning in the heavens for a very long time.Part II: The Rise of Humanity examines the achievements of mankind, particularly since the dawn of the Industrial Age. Lord Alfred Tennyson’s “Locksley Hall” sets an auspicious tone that mankind is on the verge of great discoveries. This is followed in short order by Charles Mackay’s “Railways 1846,” William Ernest Henley’s “A Song of Speed,” and John Gillespie Magee, Jr.’s “High Flight,” each of which celebrates a new milestone in technological achievement. In “Binsey Poplars,” Gerard Manley Hopkins takes note of the effect that these advances are having on the planet, with trees being brought down and landscapes forever changed. Percy Bysshe Shelley’s “A Dirge” concludes Part II with a warning that the planet is beginning to sound a grave alarm.Part III: Searching for Balance questions how we can create more awareness for our planet’s plight, re-establish a deeper connection to it, and find a balance for living within our planet’s resources. Three texts continue the earth’s plea that ended the previous section: Lord Byron’s “Darkness” speaks of a natural disaster (a volcano) that has blotted out the sun from humanity and the panic that ensues; contemporary poet Esther Iverem’s “Earth Screaming” gives voice to the modern issues of our changing climate; and William Wordsworth’s “The World Is Too Much With Us” warns us that we are almost out of time to change our course. Contemporary/agrarian poet Wendell Berry’s “The Want of Peace” speaks to us at the climax of the oratorio, reminding us that we can find harmony with the planet if we choose to live more simply, and to recall that we ourselves came from the earth. Two Walt Whitman texts (“A Child said, What is the grass?” and “There was a child went forth every day”) echo Berry’s thoughts, reminding us that we are of the earth, as is everything that we see on our planet. The oratorio concludes with a reprise of Whitman’s “A Blade of Grass” from Part I, this time interspersed with an additional Whitman text that sublimely states, “I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love…”My hope in writing this oratorio is to invite audience members to consider how we interact with our planet, and what we can each personally do to keep the planet going for future generations. We are the only stewards Earth has; what can we each do to leave her in better shape than we found her?
