About ColorFlex

Conductors no longer need to choose between function and texture! Ensembles with instrumentation challenges still have numerous options to cover all parts, yet orchestration is elevated significantly to be faithful to the composer's original intent. Musicians have more opportunities to rest, and timbre once again becomes a central element of each work. So go ahead and have the best of both worlds: flexible and colorful.

Elvis Presley gab in den siebziger Jahren viele Konzerte, auf denen er sich von einem großen Orchester mit zahlreichen Bläsern begleiten ließ. Ein hohes Tempo und absolut mitreißende Begeisterung kennzeichneten diese Auftritte. Eine der beliebten schnellen Nummern war Burning Love, in dem die Bassgitarre eine wichtige Rolle spielte. So ist denn auch Thijs Ouds gelungene Bearbeitung von Burning Love eine besondere Herausforderung für das tiefe Register, während die Trompeten und Posaunen die ursprünglichen Bläserstimmen übernehmen.

Dans les années 1970, Elvis Presley s’est produit, plusieurs reprises, avec un orchestre disposant d’une grande section d’instruments vent. Caractéristiques de ces concerts : un débordement d’enthousiasme et une énergie intense. Burning Love est l’une de ces chansons au rythme enlevé où la guitare basse joue un rôle particulièrement important. Cet arrangement de Thijs Oud ne laissera personne de marbre.

The Eastman Wind Ensemble is America's leading wind ensemble. Frederick Fennell first formulated the general concept of the wind ensemble at Eastman nearly 65 years ago. Under his leadership the group became known as the pioneering force in the wind ensemble movement in the United States and abroad. A. Clyde Roller served as conductor between 1962 and 1964, continuing the tradition established by Fennell. Donald Hunsberger became conductor in 1965 and led the ensemble for 37 years to international prominence. The ensemble's current director, Mark Davis Scatterday, was introduced as the fourth conductor of this prestigious group during the EWE's 50th anniversary celebration on February 8, 2002. Since its founding, the EWE has been the leader in elevating the wind repertory through recordings. Fennell's Mercury Recordings albums of the 1950s and early '60s are notable for their pioneering use of binaural, stereo, and 35mm recording techniques. These Living Presence recordings focused on standard band literature by the most respected classical composers -- heard for the first time in the newly balanced one-per-part instrumentation. They also centered on major repertory not found on traditional band programs, such as Mozart's Serenade in B-flat (the Gran Partita), Messiaen's Et exspecto resurrectionem mortuorum, and Stravinsky's Symphonies of Wind Instruments. Under Hunsberger, the EWE continued its progressive stance in recording techniques with participation in quadraphonic and digital recording. Since its founding, the ensemble has premiered more than 200 new works. The EWE and Mark Scatterday have continued this rich recording tradition with several CDs starting in 2005 with Danzante (featuring trumpet virtuosi James Thompson) on Summit Records.

The Nature of Artistic Performance. Composed by Thomas Mark. Music Education. Book. 254 pages. GIA Publications #8250. Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-8250).

ISBN 9781579999018. English.

What is the secret language between a performing artist and an audience? How does a performing artist’s product differ from the product of nonperformance art? How is a performer’s artwork shaped, changed, and elevated by captivated observers? Motion, Emotion, and Love is a book that will transform the experience of performers and audiences alike, by infusing performance art with a new vocabulary. For performers, the book is a practical guide to building intentional and inspirational practice time, bringing true artistry to every element of a performance, and developing strong personal communication with the audience. For audiences, the book explains the vital role of the audience in a performance, revealing to them a new level of involvement and collaboration with the performer and with other members of the audience. Performers, whether musicians, actors, or dancers, communicate emotion by means of bodily movement. But it is love that unites performers with the audience and with each other. Motion, Emotion and Love helps performing artists return to the soul of their craft, and imbues their physical mastery with human vulnerability. Musician, teacher, and author Thomas Mark’s profound, yet clear and practical exploration is eye-opening in its connections, a compelling blueprint for deeper understanding and appreciation of artistic performance.   Decorated with 24 etchings, Balli di Sfessania, by Jacques Callot (1592–1635).   Thomas Carson Mark studied piano in New York with David Bar-Illan and Jeannette Haien, and philosophy at Columbia University, where he earned his PhD. He taught philosophy for several years at various colleges and universities, then returned to the piano. From 1992 to 2001 he organized and performed in the Newport Coffee Concerts, a chamber music series in Newport, Oregon. He is the author of What Every Pianist Needs to Know about the Body, some philosophical articles on performance, and a book and several papers on the philosophy of Spinoza. Thomas Mark writes and teaches in Portland, Oregon.

English comments:
This is the definitive version of Biogenesis, a piece that Cervello had written in 1976, together with his friend Jorge Wagensberg, and which was awarded the First Prize at the Spanish Ministry for Education and Science's Permanent Composition and Musical Research Competition. The new version was made at 1984-85 Lux et umbra is written for a string group consisting of four first and four second violins, three violas, three cellos and a double bass. The conceptual battle between darkness and light is represented by the instability between the notes B and C, and by the compartmentation of the group of fifteen strings into divisi that provide an independent arrangement for each instrument, thus bestowing great substance upon the texture of the music. A cello cadence emerges from a slow and straightforward beginning. A process of contrasts then begins, culminating in a molto vivace passage of a scherzando nature, which alludes to the Baroque concerti grossi. The music once again plays with chiaroscuro until reaching its climax, from which point the conclusion slowly begins, establishing itself in the high register until fading away. The work was first performed at Barcelona's Palau de la Musica by the English Chamber Orchestra, directed by Enrique Garcia Asensio, in 1987. That same year, in the newspaper El Pais, the observations of the composer and critic Francesc Taverna-Bech paid tribute to the work's intelligence as regards the use of and search for instrumental resources (in this case, string instruments, about which Cervello knows a great deal), the skill involved in endowing the lyrical line with tension, and a singular touch that confers formal essence upon the musical discourse. In La Vanguardia, Jordi Llovet wrote that this is a work in which, as is the case with most of Cervello's compositions, the listener finds something covertly religious, a mysterious secret, a transcendence linked to the origins of communication requiring more than a single being, which provides excitement. In 1990, when the Orquesta de Granada (Orchestra of Granada) performed the work at Barcelona's Grec festival, the critic Cesar Calmell opined, in the same newspaper, that inch by inch, surely and imperturbably, Cervello built up a perfect world that reflects the image of the craftsman who, so astonished at the delights of his trade, is unable to do anything but turn the very backdrop of tragedy into something pleasant. Lux et umbra was recorded by the Orchestra Estatal of the Hermitage, conducted by Alexis Soriano (CD SA01210 Fundacion Autor). --Xavier Casanoves Danes Music critic

Comentarios del Espanol:
Se trata de la version definitiva de Biogenesis, obra que habia escrito en 1976 en colaboracion con su amigo Jorge Wagensberg y que obtuvo el Primer Premio, en el ano de su creacion, en el Concurso Permanente de Composicion e Investigacion Musical del Ministerio de Educacion y Ciencia. La nueva version fue realizada en 1984-85. Lux et umbra esta escrita para un grupo de cuerda integrado por cuatro primeros violines, cuatro segundos, tres violas, tres violoncelos y un contrabajo. El combate filosofico entre la oscuridad y la luz lo lleva a cabo la inestabilidad entre las notas si y do y la compartimentacion del grupo de quince cuerdas en unos divisi que llegan a una escritura independiente para cada instrumento, otorgando una gran importancia a la textura sonora. De un principio lento y descarnado emerge una cadencia del violonchelo. A continuacion da comienzo un proceso de contrastes que culmina en un pasaje molto vivace de caracter scherzando que alude a los concerti grossi del barroco. La musica juega de nuevo con el claroscuro hasta llegar a la cumbre sonora iniciando el final lentamente que se instala en el registro agudo hasta desvanecerse. La estreno en el Palau de la Musica de Barcelona la English Chamber Orchestra en el ano 1987 bajo la direccion de Enrique Garcia Asensio. Ese mismo ano, en el periodico El Pais, el compositor y critico Francesc Taverna-Bech reconocia en sus comentarios la inteligencia en el uso y la busqueda de los recursos instrumentales -en este caso la cuerda, de la que Cervello es profundo conocedor-, la destreza para revestir de tension la linea lirica y un tacto particular para conferir entidad formal al discurso sonoro. Jordi Llovet, en La Vanguardia, escribia que en esta obra, se encuentra, como en la mayor parte de la produccion de Cervello, algo secretamente religioso, un arcano misterioso, una trascendencia vinculada a los origenes de la comunicacion impracticable con el ser unico que resulta apasionante. En el ano 1990, cuando la Orquesta de Granada la toco en el Grec de Barcelona, era el critico Cesar Calmell quien, en el mismo periodico consideraba que Cervello construyo palmo a palmo, segura e imperturbablemente, un mundo perfecto que refleja la imagen del artesano que, de tan admirado con las delicias de su oficio, no puede hacer otra cosa que convertir en agradable el fondo mismo de la tragedia. Lux et umbra esta grabada por la Orquesta Estatal del Hermitage, dirigida por Alexis Soriano (CD SA01210 Fundacion Autor). --Xavier Casanoves Danes Critico musical.

1985 forderte das Bundesministerium fur Bildung und Forschung eine Biographiestudie uber musikalisch Hochbegabte, deren Ergebnisse in Leben fur Musik und Jugend am Instrument (Mainz 1989 und 1991) veroffentlicht wurden. Heute, mehr als 20 Jahre spater, haben die Autoren nachgefragt: Was ist aus diesen musikalisch sehr begabten Jugendlichen geworden? Haben sich ihre Traume erfullt? Aus den Gesprachen uber Erwartungen, Enttauschungen und Glucksmomenten ergeben sich wertvolle Ratschlage fur angehende junge Musiker, aber auch fur ihre Eltern und Lehrer sowie fur alle Ausbildungsinstitutionen - in der Hoffnung, dass diese zur Optimierung von relevanten Strukturen, Inhalten und Methoden beitragen.Hans Gunther Bastian: Lehramtsstudium Musik in Frankfurt und Studium der Musikwissenschaft in Giessen. 1980 Promotion zum Dr. phil. 1980 Professur fur Musikpadagogik an der Universitat Bonn. 1986 Lehrstuhl Musikdidaktik Universitat Paderborn. 1992-1998 Grundungsdirektor des Instituts fur Begabungsforschung und Begabtenforderung in der Musik (IBFF). 1997 Lehrstuhl fur Musikpadagogik Goethe-Universitat Frankfurt sowie Universitat Mozarteum Salzburg. 1998 Geschaftsfuhrender Direktor des Instituts fur Musikpadagogik der Goethe-Universitat Frankfurt.

In the seventies, Elvis Presley gave many concerts with an orchestra that included a large wind section. These concerts were characterised by enthusiasm and a fast tempo. Burning Love was one of the up-tempo numbers where the bass guitar player played an especially important role. Thus, this arrangement of Burning Love, written by Thijs Oud, brings a specific challenge for the musicians in the low register. The trumpets and the trombones can also play standing behind the band adding to the visual and dynamic enhancement.

Little is known about the actual composition process of Lemminkainen, and the performance and publication history is rather complex, resulting in a first complete printing of all four movements en suite through the complete edition of Jean Sibelius Works only in 2013.In summer 1894 Sibelius went to Central Europe, carrying among others a plan for an opera freely based on the Kalevala in his mind. But during this trip he reassessed his composing: I think I have found my old self again, musically speaking. I think I really am a tone painter and a poet. As a result he abandoned his opera plans, but musical parts may have found their way into the Lemminkainen pieces which he started composing during that time. Definitely the overture had, it is now known and loved as The Swan of Tuonela.Lemminkainen became popular from the beginning and has attained a fixed position in the concert repertoire.On Lemminkainen and the Maidens on the Island a critic opined: We do not hesitate to award this tone painting of Lemminkainen's erotic emotional world the first prize among all the young composer's works. Sibelius himself said about Lemminkainen in Tuonela: The cradle song at the end of the work is maternal love, which rakes the pieces of Lemminkainen together from the River Tuonela. and commented on Lemminkainen's Return: I would like to see more pride in us Finns. Why should we be ashamed? This is the underlying thought in Lemminkainen's Return. Lemminkainen is just as good as the noblest of earls. He is an aristocrat, without question an aristocrat!.
