Parts available: WH30883A Programme note The work was commissioned by the Ebb and Flow Ensemble for premiere at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center Kahului Hawaii 23 November 2008. The premiere performers will be (as of 241108: were) Scott Anderson clarinet Ignace Jang violin Mark Votapek cello and Robert Pollock piano.The title is borrowed from the first line of American poet Walt Whitman’s magnificent poem SEADRIFT a tribute to the sea. The poem forms part of Whitman’s magnum opus LEAVES OF GRASS which he revised extended and worked on practically all his writing life.I had previously drawn some lines from the poem SEADRIFT for another work of mine a work likewise entitled SEADRIFT (1978) for soprano and ensemble.In this present new piece I did not set out to depict in music ‘the soul of the sea’ or anything like that. I did however have an intention of making the piece a sort of outstretched hand from one small country with a multitude of islands and – necessarily – a lot of water around it (I am referring of course to my native Denmark) to another country with many islands: Hawaii with its far-away exotic appeal (at least for a Scandinavian) and its remoteness thousands and thousands of nautical miles away. Folkloristic Hawaiian chant (alluring samples of which were kindly forwarded to me from the commissioner of the work) fascinated and impressed me so much that my melodic repertoire in the new piece sometimes echo a Hawaiian Melodybrother.A latent wave-character is characteristic of the piece.

Les trios avec clarinette op. 11 et 38 de Beethoven furent compos?s au cours des ann?es 1798 et 1802/1803. Le trio op. 11 fut surnomm? ?Trio Gassenhauer? ? cause de son 3e mouvement dans lequel un th?me de l?op?ra de Joseph Weigl ?L?amor marinaro? fait l?objet de neuf variations. Beethoven y explore toutes sortes de possibilit?s: le piano joue parfois seul d?autres fois pas du tout on peut y entendre une sorte de marche fun?bre et de nombreuses surprises harmoniques et rythmiques. L?op. 38 (Grand Trio) qui est aussi le plus tardif des deux trios avec clarinette est une transformation par Beethoven de son propre septuor op. 20 qu?il dota tout comme l?op. 11 d?une partie de violonalternative afin que l??uvre puisse ?tre plus facilement diffus?e et devienne plus populaire. Les parties de violon figurent ?galement dans la pr?sente ?dition urtext donnant ainsi ? comme autrefois ? davantage de prix ? cette ?dition.
