A nation without a country is the best way to describe the nomadic tribes known as gypsies, or properly called, the Romani. Their traditions, their language (Roma), legends, and music stretch all over the globe, from the Middle East, the Mediterranean region, and the Iberian peninsula, across the ocean to the Americas. Commissioned by the CBDNA, ROMA is a tribute to that culture, in five descriptive themes, as told through the eyes and hearts of Romani women everywhere: “Romani Woman,†“Mystic,†“Youth,†“Trickster,†and “History.†The melodies and rhythms are a fusion of styles and cultures: Malagueña of Spain, Argentine Tango, Arabic music, Turkish folk songs, 3/2 Latin claves, and Jazz).

The film Crocodile Dundee’ as well as the Americas Cup Races have served to heighten our interest in Australia. Certainly, no song is more identified with that country than the wonderful Waltzing Matilda.

In the late summer months, the Scottish countryside is covered by the heather flower. Purple in color, it makes the otherwise harsh landscape a place of tranquil beauty. In this adaptation of the Scottish folk song Wild Mountain Thyme, composer Michael J. Miller’s Purple Mountain Heather captures the serenity of the Scottish moors in full bloom. Flowing melodies phrased with expressive shaping are passed throughout the ensemble, creating heartfelt drama for all to enjoy!

‘Bi-Millennial Celebration’ has been composed to honour the 2000th anniversary of the founding of the city of Nijmegen. This work consists of three continuous movements. The first movement depicts the arrival of the Romans and the founding of Nijmegen. The second movement portrays the rustic and idyllic countryside surrounding the city. A musical celebration from these areas to the city of Nijmegen comes to life in the third movement. In this festive march one can easily distinguish the traditional Dutch anniversarysong ‘Lang zal ze leven’.Bi-Millennial Celebration is geschreven ter gelegenheid van het 2000-jarig bestaan van de stad Nijmegen. Het werk bestaat uit drie, in elkaar overgaande delen. Deel één beschrijft de intocht van de Romeinen en daarmeede ontstaansgeschiedenis van Nijmegen. Deel twee geeft een indruk van de rustige, idyllische gebieden rond de stad. Een muzikale felicitatie van deze gebieden aan de stad Nijmegen krijgt gestalte in het derde deel. In dezefeestelijke mars is duidelijk het “Lang zal ze leven” te horen.
