This major concert work cosists o five movements.1st movement: La Laguna del ShimbeSituated high up in the Andes mountains in Northern Peru are the Huaringas, a group of lagoons in isolated and mysterious surroundings. The water has healing powersand for centuries traditional healers have settled there in small villages. From far the sick come to the Huaringas to be treated in nightly rituals, in which the hallucinating juice of the San Pedro cactus gives the prophet a look inside hispatient. The biggest lagoon is the “Laguna del Shimbe”, one of the countless wells of the immense Amazon stream.2nd movement: Los AguarunasFurther downstream in Northern Peru we come across the rain tribe of Los Aguarunas. It’s a proud, beautiful andindependent race, which has never succumbed to domination, not even from the Incas. They live from everything the forest has to offer: fish, fruit, plants, ... . They also grow some crops and live as semi-nomads. They take their fate into their ownhands and after having made contact with modern civilisation, they have integrated new elements into their lives without betraying their own ways.3rd movement: MekaronMekaron is an Indian word meaning “picture”, “soul”, “essence”. The Indians are theorigina inhabitants of the Amazon region. They either live in one place as a group or move around a large region. They all have their own political system, their own language and an intense social life. At the same time they are master of music andmedicine. “Everywhere the white man goes, he leaves a wilderness behind him”, wrote the North American Indian leader Seatl in 1885. As a result of these contacts with the whites, the disruption of most Indian societies began. (In this century alone,80 tribes have vanished completely).4th movement: KêêtuajêThis is the name of the initiating ceremony of the Krahô tribe in the Brazilian state of Goias, in which young boys and girls enter adult life. They are cleansed with water, painted with redpaint and covered with feathers, after which the ritual dance holds the entire tribe spell-bound.5th movement: Paulino FaiakanIn 1988 the Indian chiefs Faiakan and Raoni Kaiapo came to Europe to protest against the building of the Altamira dam inBrazil. As a result of the dam the Indians would be driven from their traditional land and enormous artificial would be created. The project was supported financially by, amongst others, the European Community. In February 1989 the Indian tribesaround Altamira held a protest march for the first time in their history together. Amongst other things they paid tribute tot Chico Mendez, who, murdered in 1988, was the leader of the rubber syndicate and a fierce opponent of the destruction of theBrazilian rain forest. Brazilian and world opinion was awakened. The building of the dam was -albeit temporarily - stopped.

Feelings is a well-known easy listening hit that was written halfway through the 1970s, by the Brazilian singer-songwriter Morris Albert. However, the melody is derived from a French song (Pour toi) from 1957, written by Louis Gaste, who made this claim successfully. Over the years, Feelings has been performed by famous artists like Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley. Numerous arrangements have been made for various instrumentations. This arrangement by Roland Kernen does justice to the original.

Feelings is een bekende easy-listeninghit van halverwege de jaren zeventig. Het nummer werd geschreven door de Braziliaanse singer-songwriter Morris Albert. De oorspronkelijke melodie is echter afkomstig van een Frans lied(Pour toi) uit 1957, van de hand van Louis Gaste, die dit met succes claimde. In de loop der jaren is Feelings uitgevoerd door beroemde artiesten als Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra en Elvis Presley. Ook zijn er talrijkearrangementen gemaakt voor diverse bezettingen. Dit arrangement van Roland Kernen doet recht aan het origineel.

Der gefühlvolle Song Feelings machte Morris Albert, einen gebürtigen Brasilianer, im Jahre 1975 über Nacht zum Weltstar. In den folgenden Jahren sangen sich auch berühmte Künstler, wie Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, Sarah Vaughan und Johnny Mathis mit dem romantischen Liebeslied in die Hitparaden. Mit der stimmungsvollen Fanfareorchesterbearbeitung von Roland Kernen bringen Sie jedes Publikum zum Schmelzen!

Auteur et chanteur de variété brésilien, Morris Albert (*1951) est surtout connu pour son succès international Feelings, sorti au milieu des années 1970. Reprise par les plus grands comme Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra et Elvis Presley, cette superbe chanson est en fait le plagiat de la chanson française Pour toi que Louis (dit Loulou) Gasté avait initialement composée en 1956 pour Dario Moreno, et que Line Renaud avait enregistrée un peu plus tard. Après huit ans de bataille juridique menée aux États-Unis (1981-1987), Loulou Gasté obtient réparation en 1988 et une reconnaissance définitive de la paternité de sa chanson. En 1975, cette chanson a été réenregistréepar Mike Brant qui la réintroduit en France sous le titre Dis-lui. Il s’agit d’une des dernières chansons enregistrée par l'artiste avant sa mort. Feelings a fait l’objet de nombreux arrangements divers et variés. Cet arrangement de Roland Kernen reste fidèle la version originale.
