Translation: Engl. (S. Wadsworth) (1988) / (Norbert Rubesaat) (1993); French (Jean-Pierre Wurtz) (1997) Place and time: Jail Munchen-Stadelheim, in the hour before the execution on 22nd February 1943 Characters: Sophie Scholl (soprano) / Hans Scholl (baritone or tenor) >>Weisse Rose<< (White Rose) was the name of the resistance group to which Hans and Sophie Scholl belonged. Udo Zimmermann's composition is characterized by the varying structure of its scenes: dramatic, visionary scenes, e.g. the remembered wartime experiences on the front, Sophie's anxiety about the removal of the children and the wish to see her parents one last time, contrast with contemplative monologues that are intended to provide insights into the individual's particular situation. The composer interweaves into the structure of the piece dream sequences with sudden bursts of anxiety that are not triggered by the execution that is about to take place but by the consequences of one's own actions. The result is a deliberate fusion of the various parts into one another. More than 100 different productions prove that the topic is as important as ever and that the work is both artistically rewarding and practicable. Udo Zimmermann About the piece Two young people, the siblings Sophie and Hans Scholl, are in a prison cell, one hour before they are to be put to death by their fascist executioners. Their christian convictions and sense of responsibility gave them the courage to put up resistance, resistance against the lies, the contempt for humanity and all human values. Sophie and Hans Scholl took their stand in the full knowledge that they were taking a deadly risk. They would simply not have been able to live with their feelings of shame had they not grasped the chance of fighting for what they believed in, even though it was a dangerous thing to do. Memories of past events, doubts, hopes and fears, justification of deeds and an acceptance of death, all these things happen and move in, and between, these two people during this representation of the hour before death. The orchestra provides a psycho-physical shorthand of their inner mental state. Musical effects and gestures search for their identity in human behaviour. The moments of stillness and silence provide moments of musical tension, which are just as powerful as the eruptions of fear and desperation.

“NT 22 010 - Sophie Lacaze: La Lune dans l'Eau, for young storytelling flautist In 1993, composer Sophie Lacaze chose the translucent timbre of the flute to explore the 'mysterious origins' of vowels and their association with colours in Rimbaud's poem Voyelles (NT 14 451 Z). The composer's fascination with this age-old instrument has never ceased to grow, and was further impelled by her encounter with Pierre-Yves Artaud, to whom she dedicated Les quatre éléments and Het Lam Gods II. Sophie Lacaze has now produced a score for young storytelling flautist in La Lune dans L'eau, a study miniature initially written for saxophone students and published in the Opensax collection (AL 30 701). Written for Year 3 and up, the piece delicately interlaces music and poetry, with the musician pronouncing aloud a haiku by Ueda Chôshû (1852-1932): 'Though in a thousand shards / It is always there / The moon on water.' With a wide variety of techniques and performance indications, this volume is a veritable kaleidoscope of the flute's powers of expression, though this profusion never clouds the limpidity of a unique art: the art of simplicity.andrdquo.

La composition est quelque chose d'exigeant, de mystérieux. Je ne peux rien écrire pendant une longue période et puis je ne sais pour quelles raisons, l'inspiration m'appelle, le geste musical se présente sous mes doigts, dans ma tête et là c'est le bonheur. Je pense souvent à cette réflexion de Rainer Maria Rilke sur le nécessité de créer. Elle me guide chaque jour.Sophie Léal.

Flautist Sophie Dufeutrelle's Snow Colour is an excellent, modern work for solo Flute. Considering that Dufeutrelle has been involved in many recordings, concerts, live spectacles, theatre works, as well as her teaching works being regularly used in conservatoires and music schools, this work for the Flute is composed with much experience and expertise. Snow Colour begins with a glossary of extended techniques for performance. The work exploits the Flute with sound and breath sounds, ornamentation, articulation, improvisation, key clicks, harmonics and varied performance directions, amongst other aspects. Ideal for flautists seeking an introduction to modern repertoire and extended techniques, Dufeutrelle's Snow Colour is essential..
