Imagine sitting in a canoe traveling down the peaceful river, blessed by the solitude of nature as the bow cuts quietly through the water. Lost in thoughts of comfort and peace, the solitude, that only nature can provide. Escaping the hustle and bustle of hurried lives to watch the deer maneuver through the woods and the birds fly through the air. In the last section, picture the majestic eagle soaring from the treetops as he makes his way out of sight. You, your students, and audience will enjoy the Solitude of this work.

This work was written for the Donaueschingen Musiktage of 1926 and given its first performance there together with Paul Hindemith's 'Konzertmusik' and Ernst Toch's 'Spiel' for wind band. Until a few years ago the score was thought to be lost. This first edition reproduces the original Version but it has been carefully extended so that it can be played by the usual combination of Instruments now found in a wind band. The work is suitable for advanced wind bands and those at the highest level, and is one of the first original compositions for this form of ensemble.Hans Gal was born in Vienna where he studied composition and musicology and then taught at the university. From 1929 until 1933 he was Director of the Musikhochschule in Mainz. He then had to return to Vienna and he emigrated to Edinburgh where he was a university lecturer and conductor. Together with Eusebius Mandyczewski he published the collected works of Brahms
