Fast food is especially popular with today’s youth, even though it is generally acknowledged to be quite unhealthy. Peter Kleine Schaars’ new composition, on the other hand, will provide some healthy food for the soul and mind. Fast Food features four courses: Pizza Pronto, presenting Italian delights, Crazy Kebab, Arabian delicacies, the American Cheese Burger, and an exciting Hot Dog Disco. Bon appetite!

Vooral bij de jeugd zeer populair: fast food! Of het gezond is, laten we hier maar in het midden. Dat het goed klinkt, weten we wel zeker! Peter Kleine Schaars serveert maar liefst vier gangen: Pizza Pronto, in Italiaanse stijl geschreven,Crazy Kebab, lekker Arabisch gekruid, dan gevolgd door Cheese Burger en Hot Dog Disco in discostijl. Eet smakelijk!

Fast Food ist bekanntlich besonders bei der Jugend sehr beliebt, auch wenn es nicht gerade gesund sein soll. Gesundheitlich völlig unbedenklich hingegen ist diese pfiffige Komposition von Peter Kleine Schaars, in dem das Blasorchester seinem Publikum nacheinander vier musikalische Gänge serviert: Pizza Pronto, im italienischen Stil geschrieben, Crazy Kebab, arabisch angehaucht, gefolgt von Cheese Burger und Hot Dog Disco im Disco-Stil. Guten Appetit!

Fast Food est un terme bien connu des jeunes, même si le mode de restauration que désigne cette expression n’est pas toujours recommandable au niveau du bien-être alimentaire. Cette composition de Peter Kleine Schaars se veut cependant totalement inoffensive pour la santé de votre orchestre ou de votre public, et les quatre mets qu’elle propose Pizza Pronto, Crazy Kebab, Cheese Burger et Hot Dog Disco seront des plus digestes. Bon appétit!

Fast Food è un termine particolarmente popolare tra i giovani, anche se non sempre sinonimo di qualit . Questa composizione di Peter Kleine Schaars è però un vero toccasana per il pubblico che apprezzer la “freschezza” dei quattro “piatti” proposti: Pizza Pronto, Crazy Kebab, Cheese Burger e Hot Dog Disco.

Program Notes: It was a happy coincidence that the commission for SINFONIA XVI: TRANSCENDENTAL VIENNA came from the Henry David Thoreau School located in Vienna, Virginia. Thoreau is one of the magic names in American culture: Henry David Thoreau, one of the leading figures of the Transcendentalist movement, centered in 19th-century New England, left us a body of unique philosophical and poetical writings. To utter the words, Walden Pond, is to invoke an America long past in physical actuality, but still present in the minds and hearts of many American citizens. The name, Vienna, of course, summons thoughts of the Old World: culture, fine food, wine, civilized cities. While contemplating the form that SINFONIA XVI should take, I found myself thinking of two pillars of Viennese culture: expressionism and the waltz. Musically speaking, expressionism reached a zenith in the works of Arnold Schoenberg and Alban Berg. It was Berg, in particular, that I wanted to invoke in the outer movements of my composition. I knew I would also have to include a waltz, and an invocation of the mysterious forces that are contained in both expressionism and transcendentalism. Thus was the structure of the work generated. The outer movements with their vision of the night sky and the stars, Aldebaran and Sirius, frame the central movements, which are essentially two versions of the same material, and are quieter and less dramatic. The outer movements are symmetrical, and share both pitch and rhythmic materials. Accordingly, I see the work as a ternary form, with the central movements forming a unit within the outer frame: A (Movement 1) B (Movements 2 & 3) A' (Movement 4). Harmonically, the work can be summarized by the two pitch-series which occur in the opening bars of Movement 1: the initial 12-note row, with a tonal center on F-sharp (measures 1-6), and the subsequent D-minor Dorian 7-note row (beginning in measure 14). Aspects of these materials occur in all four movements, but they are most strongly present in Movements 1 and 4. Note that the 12-note row is not subjected to the usual serial procedures, but instead is treated as a signifier and is left unchanged. Since the fourth movement takes up where the first movement leaves off, I can conceive of one interpretation of SINFONIA XVI as an evocation of Thoreau himself contemplating two of the brightest stars on a clear, cold night. Aldebaran is an orange, first-magnitude star, located in the constellation Taurus; Sirius, the Dog Star, is the brightest star in the sky, and is located in the constellation Canis Major. Thoreau interrupts his star-gazing to entertain some inward thoughts, waking dreams, as it were, then returns his gaze to the splendid night sky and all its treasures. Although many other interpretations of the material are possible, it is important to remember that the abstract materials of the piece -- pitch, rhythm, structure -- are what count the most.

Based on the novel by American author Jack London, this powerful work depicts a dog's struggle as he progressively moves from a domesticated animal to a creature of the wild. All sections of the piece are titled after chapters in the novel. The opening powerful fanfare over dissonant woodwind trills moves into a fast-paced section as Buck has his brutal introduction into primitive law. The music becomes angrier as dramatic battles occur along with long journeys without adequate food and water. Eventually, the music becomes heroic and resolute before the opening fanfare returns once more (The Sounding of the Call) and Buck finally completes his transformation, returning to the wild.
