The last decades we humans have witnessed a significant number of disturbing developments. If we look at the direct and persistent destructive influence of humans on nature: air and water quality are reducing, soils are depleting, crops are short of pollinators, coasts are less protected from storms, deforestation, the degradation of land, loss of biodiversity and pollution. In stark contrast we find the intelligence and boundless creativity of humans: what about all the high technological advancements? What lies ahead in the realm of Artificial Intelligence? Will we let machines make human decisions? What ethical issues arise there? This composition reflects the desperation and urgency of the human need for action. The music draws inspiration from the brutal natural forces that ravage our world as a direct consequence of human failure and selfishness. Are we heading towards a 'Judgment Day'? Or will humanity find a way to reverse negative trends towards a more livable, peaceful, and joyful environment for humans, animals, and nature? To underscore this message, composer Peter Knockaert opted for a highly classical idiom that has been used by many composers in classical music: the 'Dies Irae'. Traditionally, the Dies Irae is the third part of a requiem (funeral mass). The text used in 'Judgment DayÂ? (for optional choir) is coming from the original Latin text.

This short but solemn overture was written on the occasion of the 110th jubilee of Harmonie Hautcharage, Luxembourg. It is an homage to Jean-Paul Frisch and his son Gérard (the present conductor), who each have been conducting theensemble for many years. Under their leadership, the band has developed and improved remarkably. The very first musical theme, presented during the introduction of this little overture, is based on the letters hidden in the namesJean-Paul and Gérard Frisch (in which h is considered b as it is in German), thus aiming the spotlight on both key figures in the history of Harmonie Hautcharage. After the rather stately intro, the allegro is more joyful andlighthearted, thus depicting the optimism of the many young players of the band. The end is exciting and energetic: it radiates positivity and belief in the future.Deze korte maar plechtige ouverture is geschreven ter gelegenheid van het 110-jarig bestaan van Harmonie Hautcharage uit Luxemburg. Het stuk is een eerbetoon aan Jean-Paul Frisch en diens zoon Gérard (de huidige dirigent), die hetensemble ieder vele jaren lang hebben gedirigeerd. Onder hun leiding heeft het orkest zich enorm ontwikkeld en verbeterd. Het eerste muzikale thema, ge ntroduceerd in de inleiding van deze kleine ouverture, is gebaseerd op deletters die verborgen zitten in de namen Jean-Paul en Gérard Frisch (waarbij de h als b wordt beschouwd zoals in Duitsland het geval is). Hiermee worden beide sleutelfiguren uit de geschiedenis van Harmonie Hautcharage in deschijnwerpers gezet. Na de vrij statige opening klinkt het allegro vreugdevoller en luchtiger, waarmee het optimisme van de vele jonge spelers uit het orkest wordt weerspiegeld. Het meeslepende en energieke slot ademt positiviteiten geloof in de toekomst.Diese kurze, aber feierliche Ouvertüre wurde anlässlich des 110-jährigen Jubiläums der Harmonie Hautcharage aus Luxemburg geschrieben. Es ist eine Hommage an Jean-Paul Frisch und seinen Sohn Gérard (den derzeitigen Dirigenten),die das Ensemble seit vielen Jahren leiten. Unter ihrer Leitung hat sich das Blasorchester auf bemerkenswerte Art und Weise weiterentwickelt und verbessert. Das allererste musikalische Thema, das in der Einleitung dieser kleinenOuvertüre vorgestellt wird, basiert auf den Buchstaben, die in den Namen Jean-Paul und Gérard Frisch enthalten sind. Damit rückt es die beiden Schlüsselfiguren in der Geschichte der Harmonie Hautcharage in den Vordergrund. Auf diemajestätische Einleitung folgt ein fröhliches und unbeschwertes Allegro, das den Optimismus der vielen jungen Mitspieler des Blasorchesters widerspiegelt. Der Schluss ist spannend, energiegeladen und strahlt eine positiveEinstellung Courte mais solennelle, cette ouverture a été écrite l’occasion du 110e anniversaire de l’harmonie luxembourgeoise Hautcharage. Il s’agit d’un hommage Jean-Paul Frische et son fils, Gérard (le chef actuel de l’harmonie), quidirigent tous deux l’ensemble depuis de nombreuses années. Sous leur direction, l’orchestre s’est remarquablement développé et amélioré. Le tout premier thème, exposé dès l’introduction de cette petite ouverture, est fondé surcertaines lettres des noms Jean-Paul en Gérard Frisch (où le « h » représente un « Si », comme dans la notation allemande), mettant ainsi en avant les deux personnages clés de l’histoire de l’harmonie Hautcharage. Après uneintroduction quelque peu majestueuse, l’allegro est plus léger et enjoué, reflétant ainsi l’optimisme des nombreux jeunes musiciens de l’orchestre. La conclusion est énergique et exubérante, rayonnant de positivité et de confianceen l’avenir.

I Shall Love But Thee is an occasional work in the literal sense of the word, since it was originally written on the occasion of the composer’s youngest son’s wedding. The texts, by William Shakespeare, inspired Jan Van der Roost to compose profound and appealing music, largely in the style of Henry Purcell (in the first part) and Georg Friedrich Handel (in the second part)—although no literal quotations have been used. The rather rare combination of soprano and concert band makes this piece a unique addition to the repertoire!I Shall Love But Thee is in de letterlijke zin van het woord een gelegenheidswerk, want het werd oorspronkelijk geschreven naar aanleiding van het huwelijk van de jongste zoon van de componist. De teksten zijn van William Shakespeare: Jan Van der Roost werd erdoor ge nspireerd tot het creëren van indringende en aansprekende muziek, die in stilistisch opzicht doet denken aan Henry Purcell (in het eerste deel) en Georg Friedrich Händel (in het tweede deel), twee componisten die op teksten van Shakespeare hebben gecomponeerd ook al zijn er geen letterlijke citaten gebruikt. De vrij zeldzame combinatie van sopraan en harmonieorkest maakt dit werk een unieke aanwinst voor hetrepertoire! I Shall Love But Thee ist ein Gelegenheitswerk im eigentlichen Sinn, denn der Komponist hat es ursprünglich aus Anlass der Hochzeit seines jüngsten Sohnes geschrieben. Die Texte stammen von William Shakespeare und haben Jan Van der Roost dazu inspiriert, eine tiefgründige und ansprechende Musik im Stil der großen Meister zu komponieren. Stilistisch erinnert sie an Henry Purcell (im ersten Teil) und an Georg Friedrich Händel (im zweiten Teil), auch wenn keine literarischen Zitate verwendet wurden. Durch die eher seltene Kombination von Sopran und Blasorchester stellt das Stück eine einzigartige Bereicherung für das Repertoire dar!I Shall Love But Thee est une « œuvre d’occasion » dans l’un des sens littéraux du mot, puisqu’elle fut écrite l’occasion du mariage du fils cadet du compositeur. Les textes de William Shakespeare ont inspiré Jan Van der Roost écrire de la musique profonde et attrayante qui, au niveau du style, nous rappelle Henry Purcell (dans la première partie) et Georg Friedrich Haendel (dans la deuxième moitié), deux compositeurs qui ont mis en musique des textes de Shakespeare, bien qu’on n’y retrouve pas de citations littérales. Cette œuvre unique au regroupement plutôt rare de soprano et orchestre d'harmonie va enrichir votre répertoire !I Shall Love But Thee' (Amerò soltanto te) è stata scritta originariamente in occasione del matrimonio del figlio più giovane del compositore Jan van der Roost. I testi di William Shakespeare hanno ispirato Van der Roost a comporre musica nello stile di Purcell e Händel. La combinazione di soprano e banda rende questo pezzo un'aggiunta unica al repertorio!

In Letter from Home, Philip Sparke has aimed aim to capture the emotions that can be experienced when away from home; a letter or phone call can bring both happy and sad emotions and music is perhaps unique in being able to express these subtle and paradoxical feelings. The calm opening leads to a reflective melody on clarinets and saxophones; but it is not long before the peaceful mood turns to turmoil, which eventually brings feelings of resignation in a calm chorale with a more positive mood.

This work takes both its name and inspiration from a lighthouse “Sword Cape†that keeps watch near Japan’s naval base. The piece describes how, come rain or shine, the lighthouse bids a safe journey to departing ships, guides them during their travels and eventually welcomes them home again. The music evokes many musical images - grand ships sailing by, white-capped waves, the deep blue of the ocean and the light of ‘sword cape†as it silently guides ships over the mysterious waters.Dieses Werk wurde von einem Leuchtturm mit dem Namen Schwert-Kap“ inspiriert, der in der Nähe des Marinestützpunkts von Japan steht. Es beschreibt, wie die Schiffe bei jedem Wetter von diesem Leuchtturm verabschiedet, auf ihrem Weg geleitet und bei der Rückkehr willkommen geheißen werden. Dabei entstehen verschiedene musikalische Bilder vor dem inneren Auge des Zuhörers: das Vorbeiziehen eines Schiffes, weiße Wellen blauer See oder das Licht des Leuchtturm auf dem stillen Wasser bei Nebel.Light of the Sword è un brano commissionato a Sakai dalla Banda Militare delle Forze marittime di autodifesa giapponesi di stanza nel porto di Yokosuka nella baia di Tokio. L’origine del titolo ha due significati: da una parte si ispira al faro di Tsurugizaki (letteralmente “estremit della spadaâ€), la cui luce serve come punto di riferimento tra la terra ed il mare, e dall’altra alla luce emanata dalla spada che appartiene alla grande tradizione degli ufficiali di marina. Una marcia luminosa!

Castle Creek was written by Dan Welcher in celebration of the Aspen Music Festival's 40th anniversary, and served as a special tribute to the Festival's longtime President, Gordon Hardy. Castle Creek itself is a tributary of the Roaring Fork River on which the Aspen Music Festival campus (as well as Hardy's home) is built. Gordon's initials (G.A.H.) are used as the musical basis for the fanfare, which is centered on the ascending pitches G, A and B, and reflects the upward motion and positivity of the Aspen Music Festival itself. For advanced players. Duration: 5'.Program Note by the ComposerThere is no “secret program†or hidden meaning in this lively, five-minute work: it was intended as a celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Aspen Music Festival, and as a special tribute to the Festival’s longtime President, Gordon Hardy. The title CASTLE CREEK refers to a tributary of the Roaring Fork River on which the Aspen Music Festival campus (as well as Mr. Hardy’s home) is built.The work pays homage to Gordon Hardy by utilizing his initials (“G.A.H.â€) as a musical motive: the three letters correspond to the pitches G, A, and B). This three-note group forms the basis of the fanfare that opens the work, and it also serves as an ostinato, a bass line, and a general means of organizing the work’s tonal centers. Because the three notes are in ascending order, the ever-upward direction of the Aspen Music Festival and the positive energy of Gordon Hardy are readily evident.The athletic fanfare that begins the work (marked “noble, but energeticâ€) is scored for brass and percussion alone, and may be played as a separate piece. The rest of the ensemble joins at the conclusion of the fanfare, and a spirited tune in 9/8 issues from the woodwinds. After this is given a thorough workout, a middle section in faster 3/4 time provides machine-like energy. Perhaps it is the energy of the Festival, in high gear. At the height of this, the music of the fanfare returns in broad open notes in the brass, with the machine still pulsing in support. The overture ends in a burst of motion, with the three-note motive in its highest transposition.My colleague and former student Paul Bissell made this excellent transcription from the orchestral original.
