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 dayâ€) 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…â€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?

Die dreisatzigen 'Sonate 1933' und 'Sonate 1934' geben einen uberraschenden Einblick in Miegs fruhes Oeuvre und die Schweizer Musik der fruhen 30er Jahre. Sie unterscheiden sich grundlegend von seinen bekannteren, stilistisch gemassigteren spateren Kompositionen und widerspiegeln seine Beschaftigung mit Strawinsky, Satie, Milhaud und Poulenc. Es sind verspielte, capricciohafte Satze, deren Bewegtheit und sehr heller, klarer Klangcharakter Humor und eine Prise Ironie in sich tragen.

The title of this work refers to the Tall Ship Race, in which large sailing ships annually appear at various European destinations. The work consists of a slow introduction, which describes the majestic sailing ships; and a faster section (Vivo), which begins in the style of a sea shanty. Now the ship is under full sail, and we hear a reprise of material from the introduction to bring the piece to a close. Tijdens de wereldbekende, jaarlijkse ‘Tall Ship Race’ nemen op verschillende plaatsen in Europa grote zeilschepen het tegen elkaar op. Dit event vormt de inspiratiebron van dit werk, dat in het eerste, langzame deel een majestueuze boot beschrijft. Hierna volgt een snel ‚vivo’ gedeelte waarin alle zeilen worden bijgezet waarna een spectaculair slot - gebaseerd op het beginmateriaal éen einde maakt aan deze tocht.

Un passage central voit les bateaux toutes voiles dehors, puis les thèmes de la première section reviennent pour clore la composition. Hissez la grand voile !Il titolo del brano evoca la Tall Ship Race, una gara velistica che si tiene ogni anno in diverse localit in Europa.

Melody is the very essence of music. -W.A.Mozart (1786)Mozart confirmed this view on melody by writing the Ave Verum Corpus near theend of his short life. Originally written for chorus, strings, and organ, this work standsamong the most beautiful musical expressions of all time. Timothy Johnson has skillfullymade Mozart's wondrous achievement available to concert bands. It's perfect forworship services and the sostenuto style, with careful attention to dynamics, makesit a great choice for that middle spot at festival or for the more serious moment atany performance. Given the opportunity, young bands LOVE to play truly greatmusic, and it just doesn't getmuch better than the mastery of Mozart. Mozart componeerde het beroemde motet Ave Verum Corpus in 1791, tijdens zijn laatste levensjaar. Hij schreef het voor Anton Stoll, die leraar en koordirigent was in Baden (nabij Wenen). Hoewel het een van Mozarts kortste compositiesbetreft, wordt dit motet beschouwd als een van zijn beste werken en wordt het wereldwijd veelvuldig uitgevoerd. Het Ave Verum biedt de mogelijkheid om te werken aan de rijkdom van emotie die met muziek uitgedruktkan worden.Ave Verum Corpus ist eine Motette, die Mozart in seinem Todesjahr als Auftragswerk schrieb. Obwohl sie eines seiner kürzesten Kompositionen ist, gilt sie doch vielen als eines der schönsten. Timothy Johnson schrieb eine einfühlsame Bearbeitung für Blasorchester dieses musikalischen Kleinods.

Elegy I ‘Jealousy’ has been named after John Donne’s poem of the same name. This English poet (1572-1631) wrote an entire series of elegies, each with its own theme. Jealousy can trigger various emotions, ranging from disappointment, grief, or regret, to madness and anger. All these emotions have been incorporated into this composition. Jacob de Haan was inspired by three different works of art: a poem (the aforementioned poem by John Donne), a painting by the Norwegian painter Edvard Munch (Jealousy in the Garden) and an old French chanson about jealousy (Je ne l’ose dire) by the sixteenth-century French composer Pierre Certon. The music refers repeatedly to thischanson - sometimes through key notes from the melody that serve as the starting point for new, isolated themes and sometimes through quotations of the original version Elegy I ‘Jealousy’ werd genoemd naar het gelijknamige gedicht van John Donne. Jaloezie (Jealousy) roept een hele rij emoties op. Van teleurstelling, treurnis en verdriet tot boosheid en woede. Het gedicht Jealousy van Donneen ook het gelijknamige schilderij van Edvard Munch inspireerden Jacob de Haan om dit werk te componeren. En het is hem goed gelukt om alle emoties die bij jaloerse gevoelens horen muzikaal te verklanken! Een treffend concertwerkdat u niet mag missen…Elegy I ‘Jealousy’ wurde nach dem gleichnamigen Gedicht von John Donne benannt. Eifersucht (Jealousy) vermag eine ganze Reihe von Emotionen auszulösen - von Enttäuschung, Trauer, Bedauern bis hin zu Ärger und Wut. Jacob de Haan ist es gelungen, all diese Gefühle in Musik umzusetzen. Ein bewegendes Konzertwerk, das Sie sich nicht entgehen lassen sollten. Elegy I: Jealousy (Élégie 1 : La Jalousie) a emprunté son nom au poème éponyme de John Donne. La jalousie peut déclencher de nombreuses émotions qui vont de la déception, de la peine et du regret la colère ou la folie. Toutes ces émotions ont trouvé leur place dans cette composition, inspirée de trois formes d’art différentes : la poésie (Elegy I), la peinture (La Jalousie - Edvard Munch) ; la chanson (Je ne l’ose dire - Pierre Certon). La résonance affective et émotionnelle est forte. En un instant, l’auditeur est touché par ce qu'il entend.
