Legends of
the phoenix are found in
stories from ancient
Egypt and Greece. While
each culture possesses a
range of stories
encompassing the myth,
these tales tend toward
similar traits: a sacred
bird with brilliantly
colored plumage and
melodious call lives for
typically 500 years, then
dies in a nest of embers,
only to be reborn among
the flames. Phoenix
Rising consists of two
movements: I. Dying in
Embers represents an old
phoenix settling on top
of a pile of embers and
breathing its last
breath; II. Reborn in
Flames depicts the
newly-born phoenix
getting its first taste
of flight. Legends of

stories, the phoenix
gathers scented wood and
spices for its
funeral/rebirth pyre,
then collects the ashes
from its earlier
incarnation and flies
them to the temple of the
sun in Heliopolis to
offer as a tribute to the
sun god.In Greek myths,
the phoenix was
approximately the size of
an eagle and was adorned
with red and gold
feathers; it would fly
from either India or
Arabia to Heliopolis to
give its offering. The
bird’s association
with immortality and
resurrection are
particularly intriguing
aspects of these tales,
giving numerous writers
(including William
Shakespeare, C.S. Lewis,
and J.K. Rowling) a rich
resource for their own
stories.Phoenix Rising

Having
studied under Jean Pierre
Rampal and Tony Aubin at
the Conservatoire
National de Paris,
flautist Guy-Claude
Luypaerts now divides his
time between his work as
a soloist, teacher and
orchestral conductor,
without neglecting his
compositional activity.
Luypaerts has remained
true to his childhood
land: for this resident
of the seaside village of
Panne in western
Flanders, the North Sea
coastline is a continual
source of inspiration.
This beloved landscape,
where sea, sky and dune
embrace, was the setting
for the composition of
the Partita for Flute in
August 2014. The title
can be seen as a tribute
to two essential works in
the solo Flute
repertoire: Bach?s
Partita in A Minor, BWV
1013 and the Sonata in A
Minor Wq 179 by his son
Carl Philipp Emanuel.
Dedicated to flautist
Maxence Larrieu, who
included it in the
programme of his
International Competition
(2015), the Partita
contains three movements.
The energetic
determination of Patience
contrasts with the dreamy
exhalations of Volutes,
before the Chimeres are
unleashed upon an angry
sea..

Although
structurally it
subdivides into five
movements, the entire
quartet emerges as one
vast continuum. There are
no formal breaks between
movements. However,
certain musical signposts
can be discerned,
associated with each of
the movements'
terminations and new
beginnings. The opening
movement, The Nostalgia
of Clanging Bell
Sonorities, begins
floating on recurrent Bbs
whose soft rhythmic flow
slowly puts into motion
strong undercurrents
suggestive of the latent
power of water... After
several suggestions of
tolling bells, the
movement gradually fades
into hushed tones of
veiled and very distant
sonorities. It uses a
unique efffect, for the
first time in a musical
context, conveyed through
the use of extra heavy
practice mutes. The
second movement, The
Spill of Water ,
disengages itself from
the first through its
distinct contrast in
tempo. Water moves fast,
and when it splashes, it
tends to run wildly. In
this case, it happens to
be bubbly water that
gushes forth bodly...
smashing across rocky
shorlines. So, too, the
music attempts to conjure
such moods. At the end of
this movement, a cello
cadenza emerges,
introducing an
introspective type of
melodicism. The third
movement, The Poignancy
of Memory, contains many
silences as it tries to
convey memory through
fragmented remembrances
much like often occur in
our dream state.
Progressing through
several slowly building
images, it gradually
works itself into
juxtaposition of musical
images. Towards the
movement's end, high
harmonics are sounding in
all four instruments
while left hand pizzicato
notes in the cello pluch
the last remembrances of
this central core. Almost
imperceptibly, the viola
assumes leadership as it
dissolves into: The
fourth movement, The
Fluidity of Motion, which
has mostly the viola, but
also the cello,
articulating lyrical
statements against the
sheets of sound conjured
up by the two violins
playing a flood of
swirling figures, evokes
a kind of static motion
in spae. Here, the
virtually imperceptible
manner in which this
hushed whisper continues
incessantly, can suggest
the potential fluidity
with which movement may
inch forward... Later
into the fourth movement
, two fairly extended
solos by the second and
then the first violins,
lead to a kind of
spontaneous dialogue
among the four
instrumentalists.
Eventually, this musical
conversation gets caught
up in: The fifth
movement's The Rush of
Time, which opens with a
hushed flurry of speed,
precipitates the Finale.
It generates, at first
slowly, but then very
swiftly, whole shifts of
rhythmic fields that
initially seem to
conflict with one
another. Ultimately, this
use of 'psycho-rhythmics
contributes to an on-rush
of motion and time.
Rhythmic changes are, at
times, abruptly
precipitated with but
little or no preparation
creating a kind of
inevitability in forward
thrust, while the
movement rushes forward
with a feeling of gradual
and continuous
acceleration. It gathers
density as more and more
notes are piled
progressively upon
successive beats. The
attempt is to spark
tension and ignite
excitement by means of
frenetic confrontations
of dissimilitudes.
Ultimately - with the
help of time - these
polarities centrifically
spin out their own
destinies with their
accompanying fall-out and
own inevitable
resolutions.

New
music on old instruments
and new organ literature
in dialogue with
historical Iberian works.
The present edition
contains a collection of
works, composed for an
authentically rebuilt
historical Spanish organ
and covering a wide range
of styles, which adds new
sounds to the purely
Baroque repertoire. With
works by Jose Blasco de
Nebra, Francisco Correa
de Arauxo, Antonio de
Cabezon, Pedro de Araujo,
Antonio de Cabezon and
new compositions by Guy
Bovet, Michael Kapsner,
Pavel Klimashevsky,
Zsigmond Szathmary and
Alfred Muller-Kranich.
The new Spanish organ of
the Hochschule fur Musik
Mainz as an authentically
rebuilt historical
instrument from the
workshop of the organ
builder Joaquin Lois from
Tordesillas in Castile
shall both adequately
reproduce early music and
be a source of
inspiration for
contemporary music. For
this reason, the
Hochschule fur Musik
Mainz commissioned five
composers to write modern
compositions according to
the motto 'Early music in
dialogue with New Music'
which are a valuable
addition to the
repertoire of historical
instruments of the 'Siglo
de Oro'. Certain
specifications had to be
taken into account: e. g.
a limited pitch range,
half stops for treble and
bass registers, the short
octave as well as a
mean-tone temperament. In
addition, each
composition is based on a
work of the Iberian organ
literature; sometimes,
the work found its way
into the new composition,
sometimes, it only served
as an inspiration. The
pieces can also be played
on a modern organ,
although there is a
special charm in playing
and hearing them played
on an appropriate
historical instrument.
Encompassing a broad
range of styles, the
resulting collection adds
new sounds to the purely
Baroque repertoire.
