1. Sidestep Reel - In 19th Century America, the Afro-Celtic fiddle style was the centerpiece of many a dance. Reels and hornpipes were very popular forms. Their repetitive, even-metered rhythms were easy and fun to dance to, and their infectious singable melodies stayed in the mind and on the tongue. More adventurous fiddlers were given to syncopating on these forms by accenting off beats and by embellishing melodies with oddmetered note groupings. Syncopation is a fundamental rhythmic attitude of jazz and this movement is a celebration of that art. The melodic language is a home-grown concoction of commonality between traditional reels and hornpipes and the Baroque, Ragtime and the quartal concepts of Modern Jazz. 2. As the Wind Goes - the wistful late night song of a lullabye, a campfire song, a ballad...a spiritual. It is sung as if on the wind, yearning to experience once again that which will only ever again live as memory. 3. Jones’ Jig - the Irish Jig, the African 6/8 bell pattern, the shuffle rhythm of jazz and the drum style of Elvin Jones all play around with the relationship of 3 in the time-space of 2. The juxtaposition, negotiation and reconciliation of these opposing rhythmic perspectives create interesting musical relationships all over the globe. 4. Nicola’s Strathspey - In the traditional Strathspey, improvised embellishments, syncopated dotted rhythms and the use of space between notes create expectation, momentum and surprise. These same elements and their effect on the listener are the same in the blues. It seems like a natural marriage. 5. Bye Bye Breakdown - This is good ol’, Saturday night barn dance, hoedown fiddling. It revels in the whining cry of open double stops, in all types of musical onomatopoeia from train sounds to animal calls to country whistling, and in the steady 2/4 rhythm that is as basic as walking. The harmonic framework of several popular fiddle and folk tunes provide a practical grid for the cutting of challenging melodic and rhythmic figures. It is designed to tire fiddler and dancers out. Then we stomp our way home in varying states of delight and disrepair.Solo Violin Duration: 24' Composed: 2018 Published by: Wynton Marsalis (administered by Skayne's Music).

Ministry of Winds provides some interesting food for thought that Jacob de Haan translates into music. What if there was a Ministry of Winds? It would be in charge of the advancement and dissemination of music throughout the nation, as well as strengthening the state through music and providing its citizens with entertainment, support, comfort and joy. All these aspects are mirrored in Jacob de Haan's composition, culminating in all the joy and happiness the creation of this ministry has provided to the people.Ministry of Winds is een interessant hersenspinsel van Jacob de Haan dat hij omzette in muziek: hoe zou het zijn, als we een ministerie van blaasmuziek hadden? Met als taak de promotie en de verspreiding van muziek in het land?Zo'n ministerie zou het land een echt groepsgevoel kunnen geven en de burgers amusement, kracht, trots en geluk brengen. Al deze aspecten komen terug in deze compositie van Jacob de Haan. Een compositie waarin het volk jubeltover het geluk dat hen ten deel is gevallen door de inspanningen van het ministerie!Ministry of Winds ist ein interessantes Gedankenspiel, das Jacob de Haan in Musik umsetzte: Was ware, wenn es ein Ministerium für Blasmusik gabe? Dessen Aufgabe ware die Forderung und Verbreitung der Musik im Staat, aber auch durch die Musik den Staat zu festigen und den Bürgern Unterhaltung, Kraft, Trost und Glück zu bringen. All diese Aspekte spiegeln sich in Jacob de Haans Komposition wider, an deren Ende das Volk über das Glück, das ihnen durch das Schaff en des Ministeriums zuteil geworden ist, jubelt!The Ministry of Winds est une œuvre puissante et solidement charpentee. Elle alterne des passages intenses et lyriques, et un charmant theme baroque qui se glisse avec legerete a travers la texture musicale. L'œuvre contient plusieurs motifs recurrents. Peu a peu, la trame prend la forme d'une melodie pentatonique partiellement celtique. Le tableau final est eclatant. Ministry of Winds e un brano potente che alterna passaggi intensi e lirici a un piacevole tema barocco che scivola con leggerezza attraverso la tessitura musicale. Il brano contiene alcuni motivi ricorrenti. Procedendo nell'esecuzione, la trama assume la forma di una melodia pentatonica dagli accenti celtici, fino al sorprendente finale.
