Besides Bach, Domenico Scarlatti is the other Baroque composer whose keyboard works sound really great on the modern piano. The editor of this volume has chosen sixteen pieces from the 555 surviving single-movement keyboard sonatas by Scarlatti. This compilation is designed to offer a representative selection in order to give a taste of the incredibly rich world of Scarlatti's sonatas in terms of their character, structure, and keyboard techniques: they include lyrical Andantes and powerful, etude-like, whirling Allegros, pieces inspired by Spanish folk music and guitar-playing, as well as sonatas that anticipate the Viennese classical style. None of these movements exceed amoderate difficulty level. Neben Bach ist Domenico Scarlatti der andere Barock-Komponist, dessen Werke für Tasteninstrumente auch auf dem heutigen Klavier gut klingen. Aus seinen 555, meistens einsätzigen Sonaten wählte der Herausgeber für den vorliegenden Band sechzehn Stücke aus. Diese wurden mit dem Anspruch einer repräsentativen Auswahl zusammengestellt. Der Band gibt einen Vorgeschmack von der unglaublich reichen Welt der Charaktere, Texturen und Tasteninstrumententechniken der Scarlatti-Sonaten: Neben melodischen, wunderschönen Andanten und etüdenähnlichen, wirkungsvollen Allegri bekommen in ihr auch Stücke ihren Platz, welche von der spanischen Volksmusik und von der Gitarrenspieltechnik inspiriertsind, oder Sonaten, die die Wiener Klassik erahnen lassen. Diesen ist außer dem Komponisten nur eines gemeinsam: Hinsichtlich ihrer technischen Anforderungen überschreitet keine die mittlere Stufe.

In 1989, the demonstration named the Baltic Way also known as the Baltic Chain— was held in the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania by its citizens in a call for independence from the Soviet Union. On 23rd August 1989, some two million participants formed a human chain, hand-in-hand all the way from the Estonian capital of Tallinn its Latvian counterpart, Riga, through to the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius - six hundred kilometres long. It became the longest human chain ever created and turned out to be the final push needed for much sought-after independence. This historic event became the source of inspiration for this composition. The introduction of thefirst movement, ‘Struggle for Independence’, is based on a nocturne for piano by the renowned Lithuanian composer and painter Mikalojus Konstantinas iurlionis (1875-1911), thematic material from which has been incorporated throughout the whole composition. The melancholic beginning is followed by a powerful theme which reflects the resolve of the Baltic people. The sudden aggressive, dissonant chords and a dominant and—in rhythmic terms—contrary bass drum announce that the resistance is not going smoothly. Just for a moment, we hear the anthem of the Soviet Union in the lower brass, but this is relentlessly pushed to the background by the rest of the band playing the Lithuanian national anthem, ‘Tautiška giesm ’ (Lithuania, our homeland). The second movement, ‘Decades of Suffering’, echoes life under the Soviet Union's thumb. In the pursuit of independence, a peaceful protest is planned in which a human chain is formed across the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. This ‘Chain of Freedom’ is depicted in the final movement of the work. De Baltische Weg (The Baltic Way) was een demonstratie van de bevolking van de Baltische staten die in 1989 plaatsvond als een roep om onafhankelijkheid van de Sovjet-Unie. Deze historische gebeurtenis vormde de inspiratiebron voor deze compositie. Van Vilnius via Riga naar Tallinn werd een zeshonderd kilometer lange keten van naar schatting twee miljoen mensen gevormd. Op 23 augustus 1989 gaven al die mensen elkaar de hand en werd De Baltische Weg de langste menselijke keten ooit. Het bleek de uiteindelijke opmaat tot de zo gewenste onafhankelijkheid. De inleiding van het eerste deel, ‘Struggle for Independence’, is gebaseerd op een nocturne voor piano van devooraanstaande Litouwse componist en kunstschilder Mikalojus Konstantinas iurlionis (1875-1911). Het thematische materiaal van deze nocturne is door de hele compositie heen verwerkt. Na het melancholische begin volgt een krachtig thema, waarmee de strijdbaarheid van de Baltische bevolking wordt uitgebeeld. De plotselinge agressieve dissonante akkoorden en een dominante en ritmisch gezien tegendraadse grote trom laten horen dat het verzet niet eenvoudig verloopt. Even klinkt het begin van het volkslied van de Sovjet-Unie in het lage koper, maar dat wordt door de rest van de band onverbiddelijk naar de achtergrond verwezen door het Litouwse nationale volkslied ‘Tautiška giesm ’ (Litouwen, ons vaderland). In deel twee, ‘Decades of Suffering’, wordt het leven onder het juk van de Sovjet-Unie verklankt. In het streven naar onafhankelijkheid worden plannen gemaakt om als vreedzaam protest tegen de onderdrukking een menselijke keten te vormen over de wegen van de Baltische staten Litouwen, Letland en Estland. Deze ‘Chain of Freedom’ wordt in het laatste deel van het werk muzikaal weergegeven. Der sogenannte Baltischer Weg (The Baltic Way) auch unter dem Namen Baltische Kette bekannt war 1989 eine Demonstration von Bürgern in den baltischen Staaten Estland, Lettland und Litauen mit dem Aufruf zur Unabhängigkeit von der Sowjetunion. Am 23. August 1989 bildeten rund zwei Millionen Teilnehmer eine sechshundert Kilometer lange Menschenkette, die von der estnischen Hauptstadt Tallinn über das lettische Riga bis zur litauischen Hauptstadt Vilnius reichte. Die längste Menschenkette, die jemals geschaffen wurde, erwies sich als der letzte Schritt, der zur lang ersehnten Unabhängigkeit führte. Dieses historische Ereignis diente der Komposition alsInspirationsquelle. Die Einleitung des ersten Satzes, Struggle for Independence“, basiert auf einem Nocturne für Klavier des bekannten litauischen Komponisten und Malers Mikalojus Konstantinas iurlionis (1875 1911), dessen thematisches Material in der gesamten Komposition verwendet wird. Dem melancholischen Anfang folgt ein mitreißendes Thema, das die Entschlossenheit der baltischen Bevölkerung widerspiegelt. Die plötzlichen aggressiven, dissonanten Akkorde und eine dominante und rhythmisch gegenläufige Bewegung in der Basstrommel kündigen an, dass der Widerstand nicht reibungslos verläuft. Für einen kurzen Moment erklingt die Hymne der Sowjetunion in den tiefen Blechbläsern, aber diese wird unerbittlich vom restlichen Orchester in den Hintergrund gedrängt, welches die litauische Nationalhymne Tautiška giesm “ (Litauen, unser Heimatland“) spielt. Der zweite Satz, Decades of Suffering“, spiegelt das Leben unter dem Joch der Sowjetunion wider. Für das Streben nach Unabhängigkeit war ein friedlicher Protest geplant, bei dem eine Menschenkette durch die baltischen Staaten Estland, Lettland und Litauen gebildet wurde. Diese Chain of Freedom“ wird im letzten Satz des Werkes beschrieben. En 1989, la manifestation nommée « La Voie balte » (The Baltic Way) s’est tenue en Estonie, en Lettonie et en Lituanie, les pays baltes dont les citoyens demandaient être indépendants de l’Union soviétique. Le 23 ao t 1989, quelque deux millions de personnes se tenant par la main ont formé une chaîne humaine de 600 km de long reliant les trois capitales Tallinn (Estonie), Riga (Lettonie) et Vilnius (Lituanie). Cette chaîne humaine, la plus longue ce jour, donna une impulsion décisive au rétablissement d’une indépendance vivement souhaitée. Cet événement historique est devenu source d’inspiration pour cette composition. L’introduction du premier mouvement,« Struggle for Independence », est fondée sur un nocturne pour piano du célèbre compositeur et peintre letton Mikalojus Konstantinas iurlionis (1875-1911). Du matériel thématique emprunté ce nocturne est parsemé travers la présente composition. Un début mélancolique est suivi d’un thème puissant qui reflète la détermination des peuples baltes. La présence soudaine d’accords agressifs et dissonants, associés une grosse caisse dont le décalage rythmique domine, indiquent que la résistance rencontre des obstacles. Nous entendons momentanément l’hymne soviétique dans les cuivres graves, mais cet air est inexorablement repoussé l’arrière-plan par le reste de l’orchestre interprétant l’hymne national de Lettonie, « Tautiška giesm » (Lettonie, notre patrie). Le deuxième mouvement, « Decades of Suffering », dépeint la vie sous le joug de l’Union soviétique. la recherche de l’indépendance, une manifestation pacifique est organisée sous la forme d’une chaîne humaine traversant les trois pays baltes l ’Estonie, la Lettonie et la Lituanie. Le dernier mouvement de la pièce, « Chain of Freedom », exprime cet appel la liberté.

A contrast between heroic trumpet melodies and lyrical woodwind lines highlight this effective new composition from Alan Lee Silva. Bands will sound their best and love doing it with this distinctive new piece that is suitable for concert or contest.Staccato brass figures along with woodwind trills and runs highlight the powerful opening of Legend of the Lake. The trumpet states the heroic main theme at m. 10. The dynamics soften in m. 18 for a lyrical flute solo, playing the B-melody. The full woodwind section is featured at m. 26 in a reprise of the B-melody. The trumpets proclaim the A-melody again at m. 34 with full band accompaniment, plus woodwind fills and background lines. The interlude at m. 42 features each section of the band independently as well as the entire ensemble in concerted rhythms.The reiteration of the introduction material at m. 49 builds to a slow maestoso treatment of the A-theme. A short contrapuntal interlude, featuring woodwinds at m. 61, leads to an ending statement with the complete group at m. 66. Measure 68 is a percussion feature that builds to the explosive final tonic chord and staccato unison ending.
