Rediscovering, studying and analyzing the musical art of Philipp Joseph Hinner means enhancing a piece of the eighteenth-century harp music mosaic. Hinner's work intrigues for its extraordinary simplicity, for its regularity and harmony; the ordered balance of the parts, symmetry and sense of proportion are essential elements for the author, and give character and unity to his work. The harp repertoire has long been overshadowed by the keyboard one, which boasts extensive solo and chamber literature, and consolidated for over two centuries. The rediscovery of the history of our instrument, however, is still recent and the research work in the field of harp music is still long.
Hinner, with the apparent simplicity of his opus 10, can thus regain his role in the harp repertoire of the eighteenth century, as well as covering a considerable didactic value today. The part of the first harp undoubtedly presents characteristics of greater rhythmic and virtuosic complexity than that of the second, which consists of a continuous accompaniment interspersed with simple thematic imitated episodes. Furthermore in the composition are included arias such as O ma tendre Musette, a French popular melody of the 18th century (previously set to music by Pierre-Alexandre Monsigny), and <>, taken from the opera-comique L'erreur d'un moment ou la Suite de Julie by Nicolas Dezede, as well as themes from Gluck's Iphigenie en Aulide, which had been all used also by Hinner's first harp master, Francesco Petrini (1744-1819).
Hinner's opus 10, originally written in separate parts for two harps, or harp and fortepiano, is presented here updated and completed with its score, for a thorough perception of the work.

The Battell was written during the late 14th Century when England was in a mood of national celebration after victory over the Spanish and French Armadas.The movement which Byrd called Marche Before The Battell became known as The Earl of Oxford?s Marchand it appears with that title in an early manuscript copy of the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book.Written while Byrd was at the height of his powers, it still stirs the soul to this day. A perfect opener for your concert performances.

My Lady Nevells Book uit 1591 bevat een aantal werken van William Byrd die waarschijnlijk waren gecomponeerd in de 25 jaren daarvoor, inclusief de verhalende suite The Battell. De programmatische muziek van The Battellis zeldzaam in Byrds oeuvre, dat vooral bestaat uit vaste muzikale vormen, zoals gaillardes en pavanes. Het werk is vermoedelijk geschreven na 1588, toen Engeland in een overwinningsroes verkeerde na de zege op de Spaanseen Franse Armada’s. Het deel dat Byrd Marche Before The Battell noemde, werd bekend als The Earl of Oxford’s March, hoewel het niet geheel duidelijk is waarom. Deze muziek, die Byrd schreef in zijn hoogtijdagen, isnog altijd treffend.

Der Notendruck kam spät nach England. Viele Spieler kopierten die Musik von Hand, wohlhabende Familien ließen sie sich von einem Schreiber kopieren. Solch eine frühe Ausgabe war My Lady Nevells Book, das u.a. die deskriptive Suite The Battell enthält. Der Satz, den Byrd mit Marche Before the Battel überschrieb wurde als The Earl of Oxford’s March bekannt. Das Stück, das zur Blütezeit von Byrds Schaffenskraft entstand, bewegt noch heute die Gemüter. Eine perfekte Eröffnung für Ihr Konzert.

Questo brano di musica a programma è unico nella produzione di William Byrd che comprende soprattutto grounds, gagliarde e pavane. The Battell - dal quale è tratto The Earl of Oxford’s March (o Marche Before the Battle), fu composto probabilmente dopo il 1588, ai tempi in cui l’Inghilterra era particolarmente incline ai festeggiamenti nazionali dopo la vittoria sulle flotte spagnole e francesi. Questo brano, scritto quando William Bryd era all’apice della gloria, continua a commuovere.

Antonio Eximeno (Valencia, 1729 - Roma, 1808) - filosofo, matematico, letterato, musicologo - godette in vita di una breve ma intensa notorieta per la sua polemica contro la tradizione teorica del <>. In questa polemica ebbe, tra gli altri, un antagonista di grande prestigio, il francescano Giovanni Battista Martini; ma raccolse anche il consenso di Niccolo Jommelli ed altri autorevoli teorici e compositori italiani, e adesioni significative anche in Francia e in Inghilterra, dal Journal des Scavans alla Monthly Review. Poi, cambiati in un rapido giro di anni il clima culturale e il gusto musicale, le questioni affrontate da Eximeno persero di attualita e la sua polemica fu dimenticata.
La notevole fortuna editoriale che e stata riservata in anni recenti al primo trattato musicale di Eximeno va accreditata in Italia ad alcuni studiosi della scuola di Enrico Fubini, e lo stesso Fubini ha riservato attenzione al filosofo valenciano nei propri studi di estetica musicale. Tuttavia egli ritiene rilevanti in Eximeno solo le considerazioni sull'identita originaria di linguaggio e musica esaurendone il contributo estetico in una sostanziale acquiescenza alle teorie di Rousseau e anzi indicando il filosofo valenciano come <>. Da noi - a parte i contributi di Gino Stefani - questa indicazione di Fubini ha polarizzato gli studi e le scelte editoriali su un tema che in realta ha un'importanza marginale nella vastissima opera estetica di Eximeno, cosi come marginale e anche fortemente polemico e il suo rapporto con Rousseau. Di nuovo un pregiudizio critico vizia l'interpretazione. L'inconfessato ontologismo che sottende l'approccio estetico di Fubini ai problemi della musica anche nel caso di Eximeno lo induce a escludere dall'indagine la molteplicita di elementi e di interessi che confluiscono nella filosofia musicale del filosofo valenciano e dettano le sue riflessioni sulla poetica.
A questa riduzione chirurgica il presente studio cerchera di opporre una considerazione piu ampia, anche se necessariamente non esaustiva, dei temi e dei testi eximeniani, nella convinzione che nella vicenda teorica di Eximeno, ben al di la dell'angusta problematica isolata da Fubini, si esprima la reazione a una crisi di valori non solo estetici, senza comprendere la quale il giudizio sul suo pensiero estetico non ha fondamento.

‘The Fellowship’ is a musical homage to friendship and camaraderie, symbolised in two alternating, complementary themes. The themes are based on popular songs from two sister municipalities, one lying in Normandy (France), and the other in Rheinland-Pfalz (Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany). Through the merging of their songs in this composition, their bond of friendship is sealed for eternity.

The Fellowship staat voor vriendschap en kameraadschap. Deze symboliek komt tot uiting in twee thema’s, die elkaar afwisselen en elkaar aanvullen.

The Blues is a well-known style of popular music. The name does not come out of thin air. After all, the term ‘blues’ refers to a state of mind: with the sentence ‘I got the blues’ someone means they are in low spirits. The blues originate in the melancholic music that the slaves in the southern United States made to relieve their depressing circumstances to some extent. This new concert work makes use of ‘blue notes’ (the flattened 3rd and 7th notes of the scale) which give this exciting work its blues sound.

De Blues vindt zijn oorsprong in de melancholische muziek die de slaven in het zuiden van de Verenigde Staten maakten om hun ellendige omstandigheden enigzins te verzachten. Karakteristiek voor deze muziek is onder andere het gebruikvan 'blue notes', die uiteraard ook in de blues Forever van Roland Kernen veelvuldig voorkomen.

Roland Kernen erinnert in seinem Stück Blues Forever an den Ursprung des Blues in der melancholischen Musik der schwarzamerikanischen Sklaven in den Südstaaten der USA. Die Musik drückte das tiefe Leid aus, diente aber zugleich als Trost und Stärkung. Charakteristisch für diesen Musikstil ist damals wie heute die Verwendung so genannter blue notes“, die auch in Kernens authentischem, bewegenden Werk häufig auftauchen.

Le blues s’est façonné dans les plantations du Sud des États-Unis. C’est dans cette musique mélancolique que les esclaves tentèrent d’apaiser quelque peu les souffrances d’une vie de misère. Le blues devient alors source de consolation. Parmi les éléments qui caractérisent ce genre musical, on trouve les blue notes, composantes fondatrices du style, qui apparaissent également dans cette composition de Roland Kernen.
