What happens when we mix Santa, tradition, and old-time fiddling? Of course, we get Fiddler on the Housetop! In this tongue-in-cheek and thoroughly playable arrangement, young string players will play like eastern European fiddlers, then spin into an upbeat and driving American fiddle version of the holiday standard. Whether a member of the orchestra or the audience, here's a humorous, toe-tapping arrangement of Up on the Housetop like you've never heard it before!

It was only shortly after the 5th Symphony that Beethoven completed the Pastoral Symphony. The two formed a complementary work pair, consigned together to a patron in June 1808, publicly premiered in Vienna in December 1808, and published by Breitkopf & Hartel in the spring of 1809. During this period, Beethoven revised the symphony several times. Only in the course of preparing for publication did Beethoven send Breitkopf & Hartel a letter, together with a list of corrections, disclosing the title that he desired, Pastoral Symphony or recollections of country life. More an expression of feeling than painting. The Pastoral with its tone-painting elements gives evidence of Beethoven's closeness to nature, characterizing in five movements his various experiences and images of nature. Based on the music text of the Beethoven Complete Edition, the new performance material of this recently published edition presents the current, authoritative status of Beethoven research for this work.

Cittaslow is an international network of more than 220 towns in 30 countries. Its members are towns where people are still finding themselves reminiscing over the old times; towns that are rich in theatres, squares, cafés, restaurants and spiritual places; towns with untouched landscapes and charming craftsman where people are still able to recognize the slow course of the seasons, and respect their authentic products, true taste as well as their health. The Hymn of Cittaslow, which was commissioned by the organisation itself, is entirely inspired by their commitment to the preservation of the member towns. The tempo is naturally ‘slow', and the themes somehow soundfamiliar. On the one hand, the music emanates peace and quiet, but it also sounds grand in its lyricism, thereby reflecting the beauty of the Cittaslow towns.

Cittaslow is een internationaal netwerk van meer dan 220 gemeenten verspreid over 30 landen. De aangesloten plaatsen zijn gemeenten waar mensen nieuwsgierig zijn naar vroeger, waar een rijke schakering aan theaters, pleinen, cafés, restaurants en spirituele plekken te vinden is, met een ongerept landschap en innemende ambachtslieden, waar mensen de langzame tred van de seizoenen nog herkennen en hun authentieke producten, ware smaak en gezondheid eerbiedigen. De Hymn of Cittaslow, in opdracht van deze organisatie gecomponeerd, is helemaal ge nspireerd op deze gedachte. Het tempo is uiteraard 'slow' en de thema's zijn herkenbaar. De muziek ademt enerzijds rust, maarklinkt ook groots in haar lyriek, die de schoonheid van de Cittaslow-gemeenten weerspiegelt.

Die Hymn of Cittaslow wurde von der Organisation selbst in Auftrag gegeben und ist ganz von dem Engagement ihrer Mitgliedsstädte inspiriert, die sich dafür einsetzen, dieVergangenheit zu bewahren. Das Tempo ist natürlich langsam“ und die Themen klingen irgendwie vertraut. Einerseits strahlt die Musik Ruhe und Frieden aus, andererseits klingt sie großartig lyrisch und spiegelt damit die Schönheit der Cittaslow-Städte wider.

“Transcribed by popular brass arranger, Robert King, this edition of Johann Pachelbel's Nun danket alle Gott provides an exciting performance piece for Choir, Organ and a large Brass Ensemble. Pachelbel (1653-1906) is, of course best remembered today for his Canon in D. However, his vocal music is also significant. Nun danket alle Gott is a motet based on a short passage from Ecclesiastes. An important feature of the work is that the endings of sections are in four-part chorale settings, with the sopranos singing long notes values whilst the other voices present shorter note values. King's arrangement of this historical work makes for an exciting performance. &rdquo.
