The idea for Totentanz, S. 126 (Dance of the Dead) was conceived by Franz Liszt (1811-1886) in 1938. Two versions were to follow, the first completed in 1853, and the second version finished in 1864. The flashy virtuosic piece for the solo piano uses the Gregorian plainchant melody Dies irae (Day of Judgement) in a set of variations. The first version, which is nicknamed De Profundis, is most commonly heard in the 1919 edition by famed Italian composer, pianist, and conductor Ferruccio Busoni (1866-1924). Instrumentation: 3(3rd dPicc).2.2.2: 2.2.3.1: Timp.Perc(2-3): Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set): Solo Piano in the sc.

Goethe’s Faust has already been set to music by various renowned musicians, such as Berlioz, Busoni and Spohr, and indeed Charles Gounod, who built his eponymous opera around the tale. Gounod’s Faust is primarily known for its lovely melodies and its beautifully expressive vocal parts and subtle orchestrations. One of the high points of this opera is doubtless this impressive Cavatina (“Salut, demeure chaste et pure”). Wil van der Beek has arranged the Cavatina with the euphonium as solo instrument.

Goethes Faust is in het verleden al door verschillende componisten - waaronder Berlioz en Spohr - op muziek gezet. Ook Charles Gounod gebruikte Faust voor zijn gelijknamige opera. Zijn versie staat bol van prachtige melodieën en uiterst expressieve zangpartijen in een gera_x001C_ffineerde orkestratie. Een van deze hoogtepunten is zeker zijn Cavatina (“Salut, demeure chaste et pure”), in deze versie van Wil van der Beek bewerkt voor euphonium en orkest.

Goethes Faust wurde schon mehrfach von namhaften Komponisten vertont - darunter Berlioz, Busoni, Spohr und eben auch Charles Gounod, der aus dem Stoff_x001F_ die gleichnamige Oper komponierte. Sein Faust ist vor allem für herrliche Melodien sowie schöne, ausdrucksvolle Vokalpartien und feinsinnige Orchestrierungen bekannt. Einer der Höhepunkte dieser Oper ist zweifellos diese eindrucksvolle Cavatina (Salut, demeure chaste et pure“). Wil van der Beek wählte für seine Bearbeitung das Euphonium als Soloinstrument.

Faust, de Goethe a été plusieurs fois mis en musique par des compositeurs célèbres - dont Berlioz, Busoni et Spohr. En s’inspirant de la pièce de Goethe, Charles Gounod composa un opéra connu pour ses belles mélodies, ses chants expressifs et ses orchestrations subtiles. Un des points forts de cet opéra est sans aucun doute cette impressionnante Cavatine intitulée Salut ! Demeure chaste et pure. Wil van der Beek a choisi, pour son arrangement, de confi_x001C_er la partie solo l’euphonium. Un choix judicieux, qui placera votre soliste sous les feux de la rampe gr ce cette cavatine vibrante d’émotion et de sensibilité.

A dream inspired Charles Tomlinson Griffes (1884-1920) to compose The Pleasure Dome of Kubla Kahn, based on the poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The composer originally wrote it for piano in 1912. Four years later, at the encouragement of Ferruccio Busoni, he expanded it into a shimmering symphonic poem. Following the first performance in the autumn of 1919 under the direction of Pierre Monteux, it achieved great success and remains one of his most frequently-performed works today. The work reveals the influence of French impressionism, meandering through the lush gardens of the legendary palace. This edition by Gregory Vaught is part of the Nieweg Performance Editions series. Instrumentation: 3(3rd dPicc).2+EH.2+BCl.3: 4.3.3.1: Timp.Perc(3): Hp(2).Clst.Pno: Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set).
