As he did before in the often played and commonly appreciated ‘Lord Tullamore’, in which he poetically depicted the landscape and the cultural elements of a small Irish village, in his composition ‘The Road to the West’ Carl Wittrock has sketched pioneer existence in America in a cinematic manner.
In ‘The Road to the West’ the composer has tried to capture images of pioneer life during the period dating from 1850 to 1890, the days of the so-called Wild West.
In those days, the Wild West used to be the territory west of civilization, the domain of cowboys, trappers, and other fortune hunters.
In short, ample ingredients for a captivating story.

In the firstscene a lonely adventurer struggles against nature and the elements.
After an exciting adventure he passes through ‘the Plains’, where majestic views alternated by colossal mountain ranges display an almost unimaginable beauty.
After weeks of isolation civilization is reached again.
‘The Saloon’ is the perfect meeting place here news is exchanged and hilarious scenes regularly take place.

In navolging van het veel gespeelde en alom gewaardeerde ‘Lord Tullamore’, waarin Carl Wittrock op poëtische wijze landschap en culturele elementen van een Iers dorpje verklankt, wordt in ‘The Road to the West’ op filmische wijzehet pioniersbestaan in Amerika geschetst.
De componist betreedt in ‘The Road to the West’ het pionierspad in de periode tussen 1850 en 1890, de tijd van het Wilde Westen.
Het Wilde Westen was het gebied ten westen van de beschaving,het domein van cowboys, pelsjagers en andere gelukzoekers.
Genoeg ingrediënten voor een boeiend verhaal.

In de eerste scene gaat een avonturier, eenzaam en alleen, de strijd aan met de natuur en de elementen.
Na een spannend avontuur trekt hij door ‘the Plains’, waar de weidse vergezichten, afgewisseld door kolossale bergformaties een bijna niet onder woorden te brengen schoonheid tentoonspreiden.
Na weken van eenzaamheid komttenslotte de bewoonde wereld weer in beeld.
‘The Saloon’ is de ontmoetingsplek bij uitstek. Hier worden ervaringen uitgewisseld en spelen zich vaak hilarische taferelen af.

One of the most beautiful songs ever written. Philip Sparke’s sumptuous arrangement of this Stephen Foster classic will make a perfect item to bring a few minutes of peace and calm tranquillity to any concert. The lush harmonies, so characteristic of Philip Sparke’s arranging. Once you have played this once you will want it on every concert programme.

Veel van de songs van Stephen Collins Foster (1826-1864), die onder meer Oh! Susannah, My Old Kentucky Home en Beautiful Dreamer schreef, waren erop gericht de zwarte Amerikaanse slaven een menselijker gezichtte geven. Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair schreef hij echter naar aanleiding van de afwezigheid van zijn vrouw toen hij in New York en zij in Pittsburgh woonde. De melancholie van de song komt in dit arrangement van PhilipSparke prachtig naar voren.

Viele Lieder des amerikanischen Komponisten Stephen Foster handelten von den schwarzamerikanischen Sklaven zur Zeit der Abschaffung der Sklaverei. Foster war ein gewissenhafter Arbeiter und verbrachte manchmal Monate damit, den Text eines Liedes zu perfektionieren. Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair schrieb Foster nach einer langen Trennung von seiner geliebten Frau. Dieses strahlende Werk ist ein ideales langsames Zwischenspiel für Ihr Konzertprogramm.

Stephen Foster (1826-1864), fu un compositore molto meticoloso. Dedicò a volte mesi al perfezionamento della scrittura di un testo. Conobbe il successo nel 1848 con Oh! Susanna e la crescente notoriet gli consentì di lasciare la provincia americana alla volta di New York. Ma il trasferimento non ebbe l’effetto desiderato, tanto che nel 1854 sua moglie Jane e sua figlia Marion ritornarono a Pittsburgh. L’assenza prolungata di sua moglie gli ispirò la canzone Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair.

Er is ook een optionele 4-stemmige koorpartijbeschikbaar, maar ook als u enkel eenstemmig de melodie wil zingen, kan dit perfect.

Whereas ‘Auld Lang Syne’ may be considered the best-known Scottish song ever, yet at the same time it is an obscure one, for there are but few people who know the complete text by heart.
After the familiar ‘Should auld acquaintance be forgot .....‘ many people take their refuge to lyrics like ‘rum tee dum ta dee ..... lah, lah, lah ........... for auld lang syne’.
Even in Scotland only a handful of persons know the entire text and are able to give a correct rendering of it.
The current lyrics have been attributed to the Scottish poet Robert Burns. Burns, however, he did not write the whole poem : after he had heard an old man sing the centuries-old Scotchballad, he wrote it down and added a number of stanzas (1788).
Historical research teaches us that the ballad served many purposes, both political and religious.
Nowadays, ‘Auld Lang Syne’ is sung as a Christmas Carol and it is also sung on New Year’s Eve at the turning of the year. Apart from that, though, the song is also sung on many other occasions sometimes with different lyrics, which usually have Love, Friendship and/or Parting as their themes, as these go well with the fascinating melody.

In this arrangement a low-sounding solo instrument is central. The harmonization in the accompaniment fits in perfectly with the sentiments this song will evoke.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquintance be forgot.
And days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

Misschien wel het meest bekende Schotse lied, maar tegelijkertijd ook het minst bekende, er zijn er maar weinig mensen die de tekst mee kunnen zingen.
Na het bekende ‘Should auld acquaintaintance be forgot and .....‘ vervallenvelen in ‘rum tee dum ta dee ..... lah, lah, lah ........... for auld lang syne’.
Zelfs in Schotland is maar een enkeling in staat de tekst correct weer te geven.
De huidige versie wordt toegeschreven aan de Schotse dichterRobert Burns. Burns heeft echter niet de hele tekst gemaakt.
Toen hij de eeuwen oude Schotse ballade door een oude man hoorde zingen, heeft hij enkele verzen toegevoegd (1788).
Historisch onderzoek leert dat de ballade voorveel doeleinden gebruikt werd, voor politieke als ook religieuze doelen.
Tegenwoordig wordt ‘Auld Lang Syne’ gebruikt als Christmas Carol en wordt het gezongen tijdens de jaarwisseling op oudejaarsavond.Het lied, soms meteen andere tekst, wordt echter op veel meer plaatsen gebruikt.
Liefde, Vriendschap en Afscheid zijn dan meestal de sentimenten die gecombineerd worden met de meeslepende melodie.

In dit arrangement staat een ‘laag’ solo-instrumentcentraal.
De harmonisatie in de begeleiding sluit naadloos aan bij deze gevoelens die dit lied oproepen.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquintance beforgot
And days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
