This quiet piece with its broad tones was originally written for brass band on request of Robert Leveugle, chairman of the composers own band: Brass Band Midden Brabant (Belgium). The direct cause was a visit to the beautiful cathedral of theEnglish city Canterbury, in which so many fine compositions sounded throughout the centuries. Later on, Jan Van der Roost rescored this piece for symphonic wind band, exploring the full richness of colours of this formation. Besides solo phrases forseveral instruments, there are some massive tutti passages making the wind orchestra sound like a majestic organ. By the way: an ad libitum organ part adds an extra richness, colour and power to this piece, making it sound even more broad andgrand.

Dieses ruhige Stück mit seinen breiten Tönen wurde ursprünglich für Brass Band geschrieben, im Auftrag von Robert Leveugle, dem Vorsitzenden der Brass Band, dem der Komponist angehört: die Brass Band Midden Brabant (Belgien). Später orchestrierte JanVan der Roost das Stück neu für Symphonisches Blasorchester, wobei er die reichhaltige Klangfarbenpalette dieser Formation voll ausnutzte. Neben Solo-Abschnitten für verschiedene Instrumente gibt es einige massive Tutti-Passagen, die dasBlasorchester wie ein riesiges Organ klingen lassen. Übrigens: Eine optionale Orgelstimme verleiht diesem Stück noch mehr Klangfülle, -farbe und Kraft, sodass es noch breiter und großartiger klingt.

Jan Van der Roost a composé Canterbury Choral la demande de Robert Leveugle, président du Brass Band Midden Brabant. Cette œuvre, empreinte de sérénité et de solennité, s’inspire de la beauté majestueuse de la célèbre cathédrale de la villede Canterbury, haut-lieu, de la culture musicale anglaise. Canterbury Choral alterne des passages en solo et des phrases en tutti. Les sonorités sont amples et rondes. Les courbes sont fluides, légères et brillantes. Les tutti, puissants etsoutenus, rappellent la richesse sonore et la générosité de l’orgue d’église.
Canterbury Choral est dédié Robert et Annie Leveugle.

Uno dei più bei pezzi lenti mai scritti. Ideale per un momento di tranquillit del vostro concerto.

Concerto for String Orchestra - the magnum opus of Grayna Bacewicz (1909-1969), the outstanding composer and violinist - was composed in 1948 and at once became one of the most frequently performed works of this Polish artist. This masterpieceof neoclassicism fascinates as much by its invention and virtuosic briliance as its harmonious combination of formal elements of a traditional nature with new tonal ideas. The form of the three-movement Concerto oscillates between that of the baroqueconcerto grosso and the early classical sonata cycle. The neoclassical tendency is evident, above all, in the articulation of the musical structure in keeping with the rigours of periodicity and the manner of developing thematic threads derived fromthem, while the concertato character of particular movements and the generally linear texture indicate baroque connections. The first movement (Allegro) - in the form of an early classical sonata allegro - begins with a subject with energeticfigurations, emblematic for the whole piece and based on a constant, pendulum-like semiquaver movement anchored securely on D. It is precisely because of the nature of this subject that Bacewiczs work has been compared to the Brandenburg Concertosby Jan Sebastian Bach The second movement (Andante), while retaining its concertato charakter, is, at the same time, an example of the composers ability to create emotionally serene lyrical moods, and her sense of cantilena derived from the spiritof romantic song (a motto-subject presented at the beginning by cello solo). In this movement it is both the process of evolution and the instrumental colouring which constitute the constructional agents forming here a self-containedvalue. In thethird movement (Vivo) the composer returns to her favourite type of music, understood as an expression of pure motion in the form of figural motives with infinite transformational possibilities. The spontaneity of the music, the constant mutabilityof the tonal situations, and the sophisticated, acerbic harmonies - as Witold Lutosawski described them - form a colourful mosaic built in the structural skeleton of a sonata rondo. Concerto for String Orchestra is not only proof of thestylizing tendency of the composer but also of an unerring intuition concerning the technical and expressive possibilities inherent in a string instruments ensemble.
