Harald Genzmer has done a lot for the work with young musicians, and many a string player can recall school orchestra days when Sinfonietta was on the programme quite often. But the probably best-known pupil of Hindemith has written far more of such educational music: all in all, 3 sinfoniettas, apart from collections of simple settings like the eleven Character Pieces for String Orchestra from 1998. They are expressive, entirely songlike miniatures, livened up by two rousing pieces and a pizzicato setting.The pieces can either be played separately or put together into little suites and are ideally suited for school, hobby and amateur orchestras. And despite all educational intentions: It is enjoyable and lively music which is fun to play.

Palle Mikkelborg GOING TO PIECES WITHOUT FALLING APART 2002 for violin, harpe og strygereTilegnet Elise Batnes og Helen DaviesForord l Programnote En solful d morgentur i Melbourne bragte mig forbi en boghandel der specialiserede sig i spiritualbooks, og i vinduet faldt mine ojne pa et citat som ojeblikkeligt ramte mig folelsesmaessigtstaerkt- og jeg folte at jeg havde fundet titlen pa den komposition jeg pa tankeplan allerede vari gang med. Citatet lod:going to pieces ... without falling apartTre temaer og relaterede skalaer, baseret pa henholdsvis Elise Batnes', Helen Davies' og BergenKammerensembles navne, har vaeret afgorende for dele af tonesproget, og forekommer badeielose-up og mere douche i kompositionens syv hovedafsnit. Det barnlige, det enkle, det her-og-nu naive, det umiddelbare, kom til at spille en vigtig rolleunder arbejdet. Ikke fordi selve mit tonesprog er saerligt meget anderledes end ellers (hvordanskulle det ogsa kunne blive det?), men formuleringen: at go to pieces fik mig til at taenke pa atblive som barn pa ny, atter at vaere u-bange, at turde tro pa det enkle.Udover denne- i bedste betydning- enkle inspiration er onsket at kompositionens kurve kanopleves som en mulig meditiations-rejse: i starten en tro pa egen ro, langsomt breder uroensig, og i lystfulde glimt ser man sig selv danse en rituel dans, med andehuller her og der: ogfristelsen til at rive forhaenget vaek og go to pieces, og angsten for maske at miste sig selv undervejs,breder sig. Dog, til sidst erkender man at det var rejsen vaerd, og at man heller ikke denne gangfaldt apart, men kan se frem mod atter at vise livet sin respekt ved spirituelt fuldstaendigt at givesig hen, dog vel vidende at livet merciless & merciful, med kaerlig hand villade diggo to pieces ... without falling apartMen selvklart er mit egentlige onske: at man blot lader musikken leve sit eget ordlose liv - atlytteren har sin egen rejse. Palle Mikkelborg.

With the “Fingertip Dancesâ€, Gerald Resch joins a long tradition of composers who have written pieces for their own children and, in so doing, have immersed themselves in childlike worlds of images and experiences. Mila, Gerald Resch's daughter and the dedicatee of the “Fingertip Dancesâ€, received them as a special present for her ninth birthday: she is able to call her own these thirteen little pieces that have gained considerable attention through their variety of musical ideas and pianistic challenges. Following the original version for piano (SIK 1708), a selection of eight pieces for youth ensemble is now available as part of the edition series “exempla nova – for the young.†Gerald Resch arranged these eight pieces of the (13) “Fingertip Dances†in response to a commission of the “Brücken-Festival†in Mürzzuschlag 2015.

These mature and well-crafted pieces for an ensemble of ten players showcase Tom Coult's ear for beguiling, burnished sonorities and his ability to harness the most complex of technical devices to rich emotional ends. Whilst his musical schemas are often audacious and innovative, the security and light touch with which Coult carries them out ensures that his Four Perpetual MotionsM are always as expressive as they are impressive. Coult was one of the winners of the 2012 Royal Philharmonic Society Composition Prize and was consequently commissioned to write this 13-minute work for the Philharmonia's Music of Today Series.

Commissioned by the first Sibelius Conductor's Competition held in Helsinki in May 1995, as an obligatory piece to be rehearsed by all the competitors, Arena was performed in its totality at the annual Avanti! Chamber Orchestra's festival in Porvoo (Finland). Thematic thinking has never been a main feature in Lindberg's music, but here horizontal lines (one would not yet dare to call them melodies) gain some independence, for example in ornamental figures and in the intense cello solo around the middle of the piece. Arena also reveals some clearly new material - Lindberg has talked about Beethoven-like formal thinking, referring to a passage where the sense of movement seems to accelerate to an extreme so that finally one perceives only a motionless surface. Another new element - which was already used to some extent at the warmly hovering ending of Aura - is the almost romantic sound world and the suspension of the harmonies in the final climax, which can make one think of Mahler and Berg, or Lindberg's grand predecessor and compatriot, Sibelius. This is the Score, published by Chester Music; the duration of the pieces is approximately 16 minutes.

New York is the city which fascinates and inspires Ruders. Time and again he goes back there to work. 'Manhattan Abstraction' (1982) subtitles - a symphonic skyline for large orchestra - was conceived there. Ruders' Brittish colleague Oliver Knussen defines the piece as: - a performance of an extraordinary Morden-Times-like construction. It is a sort of symphonic sculpture, which in the composer's own words words propels forth from one particular inspiration: the New York profile, as seen from Liberty Island, one icy cold January day with it's open, clear sky and dazzling sun light. 'Manhatten Abstraction' appears as an amalgam of some of the compositorical habits found in present pieces. For instance, are present here compositorical ideas and melodic loans from 'Capriccio Pian'e Forte', 2nd String Quartet(1979), 'Four Compositions' (1980), and 2nd Piano Sonata(1982). The question at hand is mainly concerned with the enhanced elaboration of Ruders' use of the classic English change-ringing system: a permuting method pre-determining the order of tone-appearances and /or tone groups; a serial technique in other words. In spite of the rigidly fixed material, Ruders somehow manages to chisel out a personal expression by way of emphasising contrasting elements already existing within the material itself. The spiky, repetitive sections form a counterpart to a more human violin-solo. This dialectical tension is - as hinted by the title - a symphonic abstraction of a fascinating metropolis; the most beautiful and the ugliest. The subtitle: a symphonic skyline reflects the musical erection of the Manhattan profile, which under the clear sky, materializes into the most powerful and compelling man-made sculpture on earth. Thus 'Manhattan Abstraction' is a homage to, as well as a vision of, this giant contraption of concrete, glass, and chrome.

Ravel's multi-layered homage in Breitkopf UrtextIn his homage Le Tombeau de Couperin, Ravel is less specifically interested in Couperin than in French music of the late 18th century. In his preface, editor Jean-Francois Monnard explains how Ravel paid a moving and intensely personal tribute to the events of World War I with his multi-layered work. The orchestral version goes back to the original, eponymous piano suite (1914-17). Then, in 1919, the composer selected four pieces from this source, orchestrated them with all of his grace and artistry; the result provides a charming contrast to the pseudo-Baroque musical idiom, and places the pieces in a new and effective sequence. The work quickly gained great popularity immediately after the concertant world premiere, when the three dance movements of the orchestral suite were included in a ballet production.The underpinnings of Monnard's edition are provided by the most important sources. The preface features a great deal of information on the interpretation and performance history of the work. This is the fifth major Ravel work now available in print from Breitkopf Urtext.An homage to Francois Couperin, but most notably to the French music of the late 18th century. In his multi-layered work Ravel assimilates the events of World War I in a moving and intensely personal way.

A perfect way to finish off a Christmas concert. Heribert Breuer, founder and conductor of the Berlin Bach Academy, conceived this four-minute piece as a final farewell to follow performances of the Christmas Oratorio. Alternatively it can easily be programmed together with other Christmas pieces with similar scoring.The Sicilian folk tune O sanctissima gradually emerges from a sustained organ pedal point in the orchestra. This melody seems familiar to the listeners ... and then the mystery is solved: hidden in the alto part can be heard the first verse of the German carol O du fröhliche! The second verse is given over to the sopranos, and the audience is invited to sing along in the third verse. After a brief coda all the performers wish the audience “Merry Christmas!â€. Score and parts available separately - see item CA.1021400.
