Karsten Fundal's Entropia for Large Orchestra Soprano and Baritone soli Large Choir and Chamber Choir (SATB) and prerecorded sound (1997-2001). Commissioned by the Danish National Symphony Orchestra and Choir / DR. Parts are available on hire: hire@ewh.dk About Entropia: This orchestral work is chiefly an attempt to make a musical investigation into the complex question of the nature of time. The viewpoint taken on a philosophical level is chiefly inspired by the brilliant thinker and philosopher of time J.F. Fraser. The main conclusion of his investigation of the subject is in very short that the onlyadequate view to take of time as a phenomenon with all the knowledge that we have today is that time must be seen as a conflict or at least an interference between many different “temporal levels” (...)

This authoritative edition presents full-score reproductions of three of Liszt’s best-known symphonic poems. Les Preludes (Symphonic Poem No.3) grew out of the composer’s unpublished choral setting of Joseph Autran’s poem “The Four Elements”, blending stirring martial music and lovely pastoral themes to make this work the most popular of the symphonic poems. Mazeppa (Symphonic Poem No.6) evokes Victor Hugo’s portrayal of the Cossack leader and the symbolic triumph that comes only after defeat: “He runs, he flies, he falls, and he stands up king!” Heroide Funebre (Symphonic Poem No.8) is the last vestige of the monumental Revolutionary Symphony, planned but never completed, suggesting universal brotherhood: a fine, heroic, dignified funeral march. In these richly sonorous works, Liszt explored the concept of the one-movement “transformation of themes,” an approach to composition that Wagner would carry forward in his development of the leitmotif. Liszt’s expanding chromaticism would be no less influential, anticipating the twentieth century’s embrace of atonality. Frequently performed favourites of audiences around the world, these three works are reprinted from the original Breitkopf & Härtel edition.

Par MANTOVANI BRUNO. Le mot 'Thrénos' vient de la Grèce antique et désigne une lamentation funéraire, pouvant être musicale ou littéraire. Même si certains compositeurs modernes tels qu'Igor Stravinsky ou Krzysztof Penderecki ont donné ce titre à certaines de leurs oeuvres, la Renaissance constitue l'âge d'or des lamentations contemplatives. Généralement, un 'thrénos' est une pièce lente, voire statique. J'ai fait le choix opposé. Cela entraîne ici une célébration à la fois violente, virtuose et extravertie. L'aspect militaire vient de l'utilisation de 4 caisses claires, créant un continuo étendu à l'orchestre à travers les trémolos des cordes et les bisbigliandi des instruments à vent. Le tissage est ainsi dense, même dans les passages les plus éthérés, tirant vers le son blanc, voire jusqu' à la saturation. Thrénos est une commande du Chicago Symphony Orchestra à l'occasion de la célébration du centenaire de l'Armistice de la Première guerre mondiale. Bruno Mantovani/ Répertoire / Orchestre

Ack Värmeland du sköna-This arrangement is based on the Swedish folksong Ack Värmelad du sk÷na. (Oh Värmeland You Fair and Lovely Place.) The lyrics of the song speak of the beauty of the landscape and the wonderful nature of the people that live there. Although the folksong is presented with some alterations an attempt is made to capture the attractiveness of the melody and the sentiments expressed in the lyrics. The scoring assigns the melody to ever-changing combinations of instruments adding artistic variety and making the music more fun to rehearse and perform.
