This piece, dedicated to the memory of a heroic feat, does not desire to be classed as a Symphonic Poem in the generally accepted sense of this term. It does not attempt to picture, or to strictly follow, the various mechanical and realistic phases of this heroic adventure although, on the other hand, it does not entirely avoid allusion to such realistic phenomena as are characteristic of and inseperable from the nature of this adventure and the technical means of its realization. The composer's main object, however, was to try to express in sound the emotional phases of an adventure that might be called a prototype of modern romance; to touch upon its human aspect and its ethical meaning, not only in the relation to the individual, but to humanity in general. To the individual, the venturing Hero, refer the opening phrases; the sinister aspect of a bold inspiration at its first manifestation. To his human environments, his character and conquering spirit, refer certain lyrical as well as martial and ehical themes. According to the nature of the venture, the clash of motoric forces and that of an indomitable spirit with the threatening elements presented themselves for musical consideration as well as the plausible uncertainty of the outcome, the increasing conficence and the final victory, and triumphant victory itself. And as emotion in its purest and most intense form reverts to the primitive, the composer thought it not amiss to make fragmentary use of the anthems of two nations, thus symbolizing the appeal from soil to soil; an appeal that found its joyous echo in all humanity. And in the midst of the turbulent rejoicing stands the lone figure of the Hero whose daring had materialized the dream of aeons.

Much like a film score, Peter Kleine Schaars’ composition paints colourful images while telling the story of the Anglo-Saxon monk, Lebu nus. In around 768 AD, Lebu nus founded a mission in the Dutch province of Deventer in an effort to convert the Pagan Saxons. Contrasting themes describe the Ijssel Valley, the Saxons and Lebu nus, construction on the church and its subsequent destruction in a clash with the Saxons. The Ijssel-Valley-theme returns one more time in a minor key before each of the themes come together again for one rousing finale. Let battle commence!

Deze filmmuziekachtige compositie vertelt de geschiedenis van de Angelsaksische monnik Lebu nus. Rond het jaar 768 stichtte hij in Deventer een kerk met het doel de heidense Saksische bevolking te bekeren. Op elkaar volgende contrastrijkethema’s geven een muzikale verbeelding van het IJsseldal, de Saksen en Lebu nus, de bouw van de kerk en de verwoesting ervan in de strijd tegen de Saksen. Nog één keer weerklinkt het ‘IJsseldalthema’ in mineur totdat in eenstralende finale alle thema’s samenkomen. Indrukwekkend!

Diese filmmusikähnliche Komposition erzählt die Geschichte des angelsächsischen Mönchs Lebu nus, der um das Jahr 768 im Zuge der Missionierung der heidnischen Sachsen eine Kirche im niederländischen Deventer errichtete. Aufeinander folgende, kontrastive Themen beschreiben das Ijssel-Tal, die Sachsen und Lebu nus, den Kirchenbau und die Zerstörung im Kampf gegen die Sachsen. Es erklingt noch einmal das Ijssel-Tal-Thema in Moll, bevor im schillernden Finale alle Themen zusammenkommen.

Plusieurs lignes musicales se confondent dans cette composition, évoquant tour tour la vallée de l’Ijssel, la ville néerlandaise de Daventria (mot latin de Daventer) ainsi que la vie du moine anglosaxon Lebu nus, qui en 768, décida de construire une église pour les saxons restés pa ens. Le dernier tableau réunit les différents thèmes, nous révélant que la cohabitation est parfois laborieuse mais toujours enrichissante. Un finale pétillant haut en couleurs.

Questa composizione, scritta nello stile della musica da film, racconta la storia del monaco Lebu nus che nell’anno 768 quando era incaricato di convertire al cristianesimo i sassoni restati pagani, si occupò anche della costruzione di una chiesa a Daventer (Paesi Bassi). Temi contrastanti che si susseguono descrivono la valle di Iissel, i sassoni e il monaco Lebu nus. Il compositore traduce in musica la costruzione della chiesa e la sua completa distruzione ad opera dei sassoni nel corso di una battaglia. Il motivo della valle di Ijssel è ripreso ancora in una tonalit minore, prima che tutti i temi accompagnino il brano al suo scintillante finale.

The Gauntlet is a piece written to sound bold and exciting while also being accessible to young performers with a limited range. Simple yet bold rhythms add excitement, heightened by the fact that every section has an opportunity to play melodic content. The interesting “development” section provides a contrast to the opening and helps to build the suspense before the return of the main theme. The percussion helps to drive the energy of the piece by providing a variety of colorful sounds including a gong solo at the end to signal the knight’s triumph.
A knight gallops over the rise of the hill into battle, determination shining in his eyes. He must charge through the treacherous lines and survive in order to preserve his kingdom and his honor. The pounding of the battle drums echoes the desperate pounding of his heart. Swords clash and the hooves of the horses strike the muddy ground. He must run this torturous gauntlet. Will he succeed before it is too late?The Gauntlet is a piece written to sound bold and exciting while also being easy for young players to perform due to the piece’s limited range (comprised of the first seven notes in most method books). Simple but bold rhythms add an air of excitement. This is heightened by the fact that every section has an opportunity to play melodic content, even the low brass. The interesting “development” section provides a contrast to the opening section and helps to build some intrigue and suspense before the return of the main theme. The percussion helps to drive the energy of the piece by providing lots of colorful sounds including a gong solo at the end to signal the knight’s triumph.
