The music of the Caribbean is a mixture of styles encompassing traditions that reflect the nature of its many islands and ethnic groups which inherited a multitude of rhythms imported by slaves from West Africa. Europeans brought with them Western-style melodies and harmonies, still used today in Trinidadian calypso, a traditional folk genre which gained worldwide popularity thanks to internationally famous artists such as the American singer Harry Belafonte (Calypso, Island in the Sun, Day-O/Banana Boat Song). Fascinated by this music which embodies the very spirit of exoticism, Roland Kernen composed Caribbean Calypso, a composition with softly swaying rhythms whichfollow a gentle and subtle melodic line in a rum and cigar-flavoured atmosphere.

Caribische muziek kent talrijke ritmes die zijn meegenomen door slaven uit West-Afrika. De Europeanen brachten westerse melodieën en harmonieën in, die vandaag de dag nog steeds worden gebruikt in de calypso uit Trinidad, een genredat wereldwijd populair werd dankzij beroemde artiesten als Harry Belafonte (Island in the Sun, Day-O/Banana Boat Song). Roland Kernen nodigt muzikanten en luisteraars uit om zijn Caribbean Calypso te ontdekken:een compositie met zacht wiegende ritmes die een rustige melodielijn volgen in een sfeer van rum en sigaren.

Die Musik der Karibik fasziniert durch die eindrucksvolle Verbindung vieler verschiedener Stile, die aus dem Schmelztiegel der zahlreichen dort lebenden ethnischen Gruppen entstanden sind. Roland Kernen lädt ein, seinen Caribbean Calypso zu entdecken, eine Komposition mit leicht wiegenden Rhythmen, die einer sanften, raffinierten Melodielinie folgen in eine mit Rum und Zigarren geschwängerte Atmosphäre.

La musique des Cara bes est aussi plurielle que les îles et les ethnies qui la composent. Enrichie par des siècles de brassage culturel, elle exprime sa diversité par un jeu de couleurs sonores, d’accents et de nuances qui reflètent ses deux composantes essentielles, l’une occidentale, l’autre africaine. Fasciné par cette musique qui sent bon l’exotisme, Roland Kernen vous invite découvrir Caribbean Calypso (“Calypso des Cara bes”), une oeuvre aux rythmes chaloupés qui distille une délicieuse ligne mélodique sur fond de rhum et de cigare.

La musica dei Caraibi è varia come le isole e le etnie che la compongono. Arricchita da secoli di mescolamento culturale, essa esprime la sua diversit con un gioco di colori sonori, di accenti e di sfumature che riflettono le due componenti essenziali: quella occidentale e quella africana. Affascinato da questa musica esotica, Roland Kernen vi invita a scoprire Caribbean Calypso, un brano dai ritmi ondeggiati caratterizzato da una deliziosa linea melodica sullo sfondo di rum e sigaro.

In recent years significant numbers of manuscripts of instrumental pieces by Antonio Vivaldi have been discovered in libraries in Austria (Vienna), Norway (Trondheim}, Poland (Danzig), and especially Sweden (Uppsala, Stockholm, Skara, Lund). Included among these manuscripts are a few pieces for woodwind instruments at least as attractive as those known from the Vivaldi manuscripts in Dresden and Turin. Three of them, a flute sonata in E minor, a trio sonata for 2 oboes and basso continuo, and the present concerto for oboe, violin and orchestra in C minor will be published by Musica Rara under my editorship.
