An Astrological Composition. Astrology is based on the principle that each sort of time has its own quality. In order to determine the quality of a particular moment an astrologer looks at the position of the planets in the solar sustemat that moment. Each planet has specific types of energies and its location provides unique information for a certain moment on Earth. Thus: its position in the sky tells something about what happens on Earth. In this composition the typesof energies of four planets are musically translated. The four planet were not randomly chosen. There are two pairs whose influence and energy are opposite. Venus and Mars. Venus represents the feminine principle: harmony beauty art and the ability to make relationships and to keep the peace. Venus connects and communicates in order to maintain the balance. Mars represent the masculine principle: winning impulsiveness enthusiasm and sexual energy for procreation.He creates war enabling the strongest to triumph. Mars is musically depicted in a stirring march in which enthusiasm characterises the masculine character. Saturn and Jupiter. Saturn represents concentration and withdrawal: the strongnotion of responsibility seriousness self-discipline and melancholy. Saturn is the hermit who will conquer his fears and worries in minimal conditions and by self-chastisement. This contemplative character is depicted in the music as if it isalmost standing still which also reflects the given character of this planet. Jupiter represents growth and expansion: the positive self-confidence the good Samaritan the healer. Jupiter is the philosopher who will make the world a betterplace sees future possibilities and searches for eternal values. He is the prophet who sometimes rants and raves his doctrine and proclamations resulting musically in a whirling and upbeat finale. not looking back at what has been but searchingfor new challenges. 'Heaven and Earth' was commisioned by the Music Lending and Information Centre (MUI) a department of the library for the province of Gelderland in Arnhem The Netherlands.Een astrologische compositie.

In the Stone Got to Get You into My Life After the Love Has Gone September-Earth Wind & Fire was formed by jazz drummer Maurice White whose aim was to mix various music styles to produce a unique sound. Combined with excellent song writing and fine performances this sound made Earth Wind & Fire one of the most influential soul groups of the seventies. In subsequent decades they experienced varying success but this medley reflects the heyday of this legendary group. In his job as staff arranger with the Royal Marine Band of the Dutch Navy Peter Kleine Schaars wrote many top class arrangements. The talent of the musicians in the band made it possible to write in such a way that they closelyresembled the original works. Consequently this medley shines just like the original versions by Earth Wind & Fire. Four famous songs have been used: 'In the Stone' 'Got to Get You into My Life' 'After the Love Has Gone' and 'September'.

for Soprano Solo and Band-Le cantique Nun ruhen alle Wälder dont la ligne mélodique fut reprise par Jean-Sébastien Bach pour son choral So sein nun Seele deine (Choral n°6 - Cantate BWV 13) est le fil conducteur de cette oeuvre en quatre mouvements conçue comme un cri contre la destruction volontaire de la nature pour le profit. Plus de trois siècles nous séparent du temps de Bach. Si les mots sont restés les mêmes leur sens primitif connaît cependant quelques nuances. Ainsi au XXIe siècle - considéré comme le « siècle du progrès » il conviendrait de traduire Nun ruhen alle Wälder (?les forêts se reposent ?) par ?Les forêts se meurent?. La mondialisation et l?industrialisation massiveassociées à l?avidité prédatrice à la corruption politique aux actions humaines irrationnelles et au fossé grandissant entre riches et pauvres conduisent notre planète bleue à se rapprocher chaque jour un peu plus du point de non retour. Cette composition n?est pas une accusation acerbe mais plutôt une exhortation à prendre soin de cette beauté si harmonieuse que nous offre la nature. Et peut-être prendrons-nous enfin conscience de l?importance d?une situation de coexistence avec la nature nécessaire pour la survie de l?espèce humaine et non d?exploitation qui conduit à la destruction. Un jour alors qu?il naviguait sur Internet Marco Pütz découvrit l?oeuvre du poète australien Graeme King. Fasciné par la clarté de l?écriture et le rythme des vers Marco Pütz imagina les multiples possibilités d?adaptation et de mise en musique qu?offrent les poèmes de King. Il choisit quatre poèmes sur la nature pour créer son oeuvre Four Earth Songs (Quatre chants de la terre). 1. Tears of Nature (Les larmes de la Nature) 2. Grrrevolution 3. Stand up! (Levez-vous !) 4. Tomorrow (Demain) Four Earth Songs est dédié amicalement à l?Orchestre de Fanfare de Frise (Frysk Fanfare Orkest) et à son chef Jouke Hoekstra. L?oeuvre a été donnée en création mondiale par l?orchestre dédicataire à l?occasion de la 14ème Convention de la WASBE à Cincinnati aux
