Intermezzo-Szene bearbeitet fur Flotengruppe, Metallophon und Schlagwerk von A. Rosenstengel. Diese Komposition gehoret zu seinen bekannt testen Orchesterwerken. Eine echt orientalische Atmosphare beherrscht dieses Werk. Die Kameltreiber kommen allmahlich naher, die Rufe der Bettler nach Gaben werden erhort. Die schone Prinzessin tritt auf, von ihren Dienerinnen begleitet. Die Prinzessin bleibt stehen um sich an den Gauklern und Schlangenbeschworen zu ergotzen. Der Kalif schreitet jetzt uber die Markt und unterbricht die Unterhaltung. Die Prinzessin macht sich zum Aufbruch bereit und die Karawane setzt ihre Reise fort. Die Motive der Prinzessin und der Kameltreiber hort man noch in der Ferne und der Marktplatz wird wieder einsam. Scene d'intermede pour groupe des Flutes a bec, Vibraphone et Percussion arrangee par A. Rosenstengel du morceau Orchestral original par Albert W. Ketelbey. Une atmosphere orientale se repand de ce morceau. Les chameliers approchant lentement du marche, on entend dans le tumulte les mendiants reclamer leur 'Backchiche'. La belle princesse entouree de ses servantes fait son apparition et s'arrete a regarder les jongleurs et charmeurs des serpents. L'arrive du Calife interrompt l'entrain du marche, la princesse prepare son depart et les chameliers continuent leur chemin. Les themes de la princesse et des chameliers s'eteignent dans la lointain et la marche devient desert. Intermezzo scene for Recorder/Flute group, Vibraphone and Percussion arranged by A. Rosenstengel from the original Orchestral piece by Albert W. Ketelbey. An oriental atmosphere pervades this work. The cattle-drivers slowly approach the market; the cries of beggars are heard across the bustle. The beautiful princess enters carried by her servants - she stays to watch the jugglers and snake-charmer. The Caliph now passes through the market and interrupts the entertainment, the princess prepares to depart and the caravan resumes its journey as the sounds of the Persian Market fade into the distance.

Cuarteto San Petersburgo (The Saint Petersburg Quartet) was written between January and March 2011. It owes its name to the fact that Saint Petersburg has been a very significant city for me. I was invited there in 1988 to take part in a big contemporary music festival, but my uninterrupted bond with the city started on 2002, thanks to the negotiations of my friend and pupil Albert Barbeta. Since then, I have constantly travelled there in order to record a considerable part of my repertoire: seventeen pieces. In addition to the concerts we went to, I took the opportunity during my trips to visit the well-known conservatoire where so many great personalities from the world of music composition once taught, and the place that launched the most important violin school in the whole of Russia: the school of Leopoldo Auer. Spending a long time in Auer's classroom writing my concert for violin and orchestra was an unforgettable experience for me. His large portrait motivated me even further.

Cuarteto San Petersburgo evokes many of the most cherished and moving moments that I have had in this city. It is structured in four movements. The first one, Allegretto-Allegro, opens with an introduction that sets forth the two main themes, amid a soft and elastic atmosphere. The Allegro starts vigorously and in it we find changes in the tempo and moments of mystery, as well as certain seclusion, returning then to the emphatic theme where the counterpoint finds its place. The movement ends placidly.

The Scherzo-marcato that follows is marked by a persistent rhythm of triplets that carries on from beginning to end. The tempo does not change, but brief and decided themes are introduced, as well as passages of counterpoint. Brief and dissonant chords are heard throughout the movement, which ends vigorously.

The third movement, Ut, is a very special one. For a while already I had been playing with the idea of writing a movement that was to have the tonality C as a leitmotiv. This one is made up by two slow and static parts. In the first one, the first violin plays pizzicatti-glissandi. In the second, the first violin and particularly the violoncello settle on C while the other two instruments produce descending chromatic harmonies.

Finally, the Introduccion-Presto (the Introduction-Presto). It starts with some bucolic passages which remind us of the introduction to the first movement. A fast and energetic Presto suddenly erupts. A kind of moto perpetuo which alternates with two expressive passages and, towards the end, a viola and violoncello tremolo, all of great mystery and expectation, make way for a resounding finale marcato.

Mozart and Haydn greatly admired the church music of their friend, the composer and Vienna court Kapellmeister Joseph Eybler. With its lyrical-pastoral mood, his Missa Sancti Alberti contrasts with his large-scale mass settings; in structure, extent, and orchestration it recalls Franz Schubert's well-known Mass in G major. Apart from two solo quartets which can be performed by soloists from the choir) the chorus is the main carrier of the musical action; the concise setting of the mass text is mainly set homophonically. Starting with a basic string group, the orchestra can be expanded ad libitum by the addition of two oboes, two bassoons, two trumpets, and timpani, enabling the work to be presented in its masterly orchestration. Score available separately - see item CA.2708400.
