REVEILLE RETRAITE for solo trumpetA joint commission between Hakan Hardenberger and Danmarks RadioDedicated to Hakan HardenbergerProgramme note:Everybody knows or has at least heard of the time honoured military bugle calls: Reveille Retraite, the awakening at sunrise the turning in at sunset. In a way it's the UR concept of the nature of the trumpet, an instrument capable of glorious panache as well as sublime, inward looking finesse. My piece is, as indicated in the title, a two fold composition in the form of two contrasting tone poems, each mirroring a fragment of original text, what one could call spiritual appetizers. At the end of chapter 8 of his high spirited Memoirs Hector Berlioz laments the murder of a man he admired, Prince Lichnowsky, who was stabbed to death in Frankfurt in September 1848 by German peasants: Oh, I must get out, walk, run, shout under the open sky! Now, there's a juicy bit of high strung romantic Sturm und Drang for you and the perfect motto for any awakening... Then night fall, Retraite, in which I've drawn upon the early, melancholy poem ALONE by Edgar Allan Poe and taken out one single line as 'subtitle' for this very hushed and withdrawn movement: And all I lov'd, I lov'd alone. I guess it won't hurt to quote the poem in its entirety:From childhood's hour I have not beenAs others were I have not seenAs others saw I could not bringMy passions from a common spring.From the same source I have not takenMy sorrow; I could not awakenMy heart to joy at the same tone;And all1 lov'd, I lov'd alone.THEN in my childhood in the dawnOf a most stormy life was drawnFrom ev'ry depth of good and illThe mystery which binds me still:From the torrent, or the fountain,From the red cliff of the mountain,From the sun that 'round me roll`dIn its autumn tint of gold From the lightning in the skyAs it pass'd me flying by From the thunder and the storm,And the cloud that took the form(When the rest of Beaven was blue)Of a demon in my view.Edgar Allan PoeProgramme note by Poul Ruders, January 2004.

This work was composed as a commission by the Keika Gakuen Symphonic Band, to commemorate their 40th annual concert. The composition is a march-style work that begins with a chorale based on a theme from the school song—a distinctive motif that reappears in the middle section. Tetsuya Kashino, a graduate of the high school, is a band coach and has a deep friendship with the composer. Kashino named the work Scent of Spring, which reflects two distinct meanings—firstly, in Japanese, a part of the band’s own name, and also “a premiere in Springâ€. Scent of Spring is a bright and optimistic piece of music, suitable to perform on various occasions.Dit werk is geschreven in opdracht van de Keika Gakuen Symphonic Band, een schoolorkest uit Tokio, ter gelegenheid van hun veertigste jaarconcert. Deze in marsstijl geschreven compositie begint met een op een thema uit het schoollied gebaseerd koraal: een motief dat nog eens opduikt in het middengedeelte. Tetsuya Kashino, een orkestleider die zelf ook op de betreffende school heeft gezeten, is nauw bevriend met de componist: hij heeft het werk Scent of Spring gedoopt, met in zijn achterhoofd twee betekenissen: ten eerste komt deze titel in het Japans deels overeen met de orkestnaam, ook verwijst de titel naar ‘een première in de lente’. Scent of Spring iseen opgewekt, optimistisch werk dat geschikt is voor diverse gelegenheden. Dieses Werk wurde von der Keika Gakuen Symphonic Band anlässlich des 40-jährigen Konzertjubiläums in Auftrag gegeben. Das Werk wurde im Marschstil komponiert und beginnt mit einem Choral, der auf einem Thema des Schulliedes basiert ein charakteristisches Motiv, das im Mittelteil wieder aufgenommen wird. Tetsuya Kashino, ein Absolvent der Highschool, ist Orchesterleiter und eng mit dem Komponisten befreundet. Kashino gab dem Werk den Titel Scent of Spring“, was zwei verschiedene Bedeutungen zum Ausdruck bringt: einerseits ist es ein Teil des Orchesternamens auf Japanisch, andererseits bedeutet es eine Premiere im Frühling“. Scent of Spring ist ein fröhliches undoptimistisches Musikstück, das sich für alle möglichen Gelegenheiten eignet. Cette Å“uvre a été composée en commande du Keika Gakuen Symphonic Band pour célébrer son 40e concert annuel. Cette composition dans un style de marche commence par un choral basé sur un thème de l’hymne de l’école, qui est un motif distinctif et réapparaît dans la section du milieu. Tetsuya Kashino, diplômé de l’école secondaire, et répétiteur de la formation et très bon ami du compositeur. Il a donné le titre de Scent of Spring (« parfum de printemps ») l’œuvre, ce qui a deux sens différents : d’abord, une partie du nom de la formation en japonais, mais aussi une allusion sa première qui eut lieu au printemps. Scent of Spring est une pièce de musique vive etoptimiste qui convient chaque occasion. Questo lavoro è stato commissionato dalla Keika Gakuen Symphonic Band, per commemorare con un concerto il loro 40esimo anniversario. La composizione ha lo stile di una marcia che comincia con una corale basata su un tema della canzone della scuola - un tema distintivo che riappare anche nella sezione di mezzo. Tetsuya Kashino, insegnante della Banda e legato da profonda amicizia col compositore, ha voluto intitolare la composizione Scent of Spring, nome che riflette due significati distinti - in primo luogo, in giapponese, una parte del nome proprio della banda, ma anche col significato di una prima in primavera. Scent of Spring è un brano musicale brillante eottimista, adatto per essere eseguito in diverse occasioni.

Chen Yi’s beautiful and highly-textured tone poem was inspired by ancient Chinese poetry; its melodic ideas were developed from musical phrases characteristic of Chinese opera. Wang Ya’s original verse as translated by Chen Yi reads:“SONG OF SPRING OUTING”Ten thousand apricot trees by the riverside,Spring flowers bloom after the wind at night.Covered over the garden, colors dark and light,Mirrored in the green water ripples.SONG OF SPRING OUTING was commissioned by the Center for East Asian Studies and the Asian Classical Music Initiative at the University of Kansas in 2022 for Dr. Yi-Yang Chen to premiere in 2023.The work was inspired by an ancient Chinese poem with the same title:Song of Spring Outingby Wang Ya (Tang Dynasty)English translation by Chen YiTen thousand apricot trees by the riverside,Spring flowers bloom after the wind at night.Covered over the garden, colors dark and light,Mirrored in the green water ripples.This inspiring image is like taking a walk through a beautiful garden with layers of colorful trees and flowers, mirrored in the green water.The opening phrase of the music introduces the signature intervals, the leap of a seventh found in Beijing Opera fiddle’s language, followed by melodic material with a major 2nd and perfect 4th in pentatonic style as the thematic materials. [C-Bb-G in bars 1-2, followed by the top pitches A-B and Ab-E( in bars 2-3]. This statement is brought back (Rehearsal F) in a retrograded form of the introduction at the climatic end of the piece.The musical form is a combination of variations on thematic materials, and a rondo. After the introductory section, Rehearsal A introduces an improvisation-like mountain song melody (developed from the pentatonic material in the introduction).Rehearsal B brings in a lively texture in short groupings with staccato in both hands (using the seventh leap interval introduced in the opening of the piece).Rehearsals C and D develop the introduction’s pentatonic melody and the mountain tune (introduced in Rehearsal A) with more layers in the texture.Rehearsal E develops the material presented in Rehearsal B, with an extended range in both ends of the keyboard, increasing the freshness and excitement.

Joachim Raff's 12 piano pieces Fruhlingsboten op. 55, originating in 1852/53, mark a new creative start in his compositional oeuvre, in which the composer left behind his previously written and published piano works. The title of the work, translated as Heralds of Spring, is multilayered: It refers not only to spring in nature as expressed in the headings of the first two pieces, Winterruhe [Hibernation] and Fruhlingsnahen [Spring's Approach], but the words Heralds of Spring also indicate love's spring, the blossoming of love for his future wife, the actress Doris Genast. This appears in the headings of the pieces as of no. 3, sketching the path of an imaginary couple approaching union via various annoyances. And ultimately, Raff saw in his new piano work the harbingers of his future works, created under happy circumstances. In Fruhlingsboten Raff repeatedly demonstrates his ability to adapt idioms and compositional techniques from works by Liszt, Chopin, Mendelssohn, Schumann, and others. The pieces do nonetheless possess their own thoroughly original diction with a character spectrum just as diverse as their stylistic piano design. Mahlert's new edition, as beautifully presented as ever from this publisher, is exemplary, and can easily be recommended to advanced pianists with a love of nineteenth-century repertoire. Superb.(Andrew Eales, Pianodao).

Spring has finally arrived. The days grow longer, birds prepare to nest, trees turn green and plants begin to bloom as nature wakes up from her winter sleep. This, and the fact that the composer’s third grandson was born in the spring, were the inspiration for Spring Song. Het is voorjaar! De dagen worden langer, de vogels bouwen hun nestjes, bomen hullen zich in het groen en alle planten beginnen te bloeien. Kortom: de natuur ontwaakt uit haar winterslaap. En precies in dit jaargetijde zag ook hetderde kleinkind van de componist het levenslicht. Lente en nieuw leven: voor Jan de Haan twee prachtige inspiratiebronnen voor zijn nieuwe werk Spring Song!Es ist Frühling. Die Tage werden länger, Vögel bauen ihre Nester, die Bäume schlagen aus und alle Pflanzen beginnen zu blühen. Kurz gesagt: Die Natur erwacht aus ihrem Winterschlaf. Der Frühling und der glückliche Umstand, dass just zu dieser Jahreszeit sein dritter Enkel das Licht der Welt erblickte inspirierte den Komponisten zu seinem Stück Spring Song. C’est le printemps : les jours s’allongent et la nature sort de son sommeil hivernal. C’est toute l’effervescence du printemps qu’exhale Spring Song. En outre, cette ravissante pièce célèbre également la naissance du troisième petit fils du compositeur, né au printemps. E’ primavera: la natura si risveglia, gli uccelli preparano i nidi, gli alberi e le piante cominciano a fiorire. Uno spettacolo che la natura ci regala puntuale ogni anno. Spring Song trasuda di questo splendore e vuole essere per Jan de Haan un benvenuto al mondo al suo terzo nipote, nato appunto in quella che è per molti la stagione più bella dell’anno..

Spring Song is a celebration of the arrival of spring, a renewal of life from the death of the old year. The basic structure of this piece is classical Sonata form. The opening represents winter and this section contains the motives that are the seeds for spring. The music does not really take flight until the development section where march-like textures punctuated by string fanfares propel the music forward. The recapitulation is transformed as the themes reappear in a different order and use the march-like elements from the development. The coda acts as a tranquil recall of the opening music as four solo strings take on the guise of birds singing in contentment in the summer sun.
