Exceptional singer Reynaldo Hahn (1875-1947) owes his early successes to the ?songs for voice and piano? genre, whose raison d?etre he defines in his journal as follows: ?To highlight a poem, word for word but without uniformity; to emphasize its meaning without distorting it; to shine light upon one idea, obscure another and present it all in vocal, sung form; to produce a sharp, precise sensation by touching a heartstring or evoking an image - all in a well-structured and tastefully written piece?. Enhanced by an audio version attached as a download card, this anthology of songs should dispel a good many misconceptions. This is no salon miniature: L?Heure exquise radiates an infinite tenderness, exalted by the high vocal cadences of O Bien-Aimee! and C?est l?heure exquise, which surely wrought tears from the author of the verses, Verlaine. Tyndaris, the jewel of Heures latines, clears a crystal-clear space given over to the delights of slumber and of love. Like D?une prison and Cygnes, these songs do more than wet the eyes: they grip the heart..

This piece was commissioned by the 'Concert Band Vlamertinge' and is a plea for peace: the title translates as 'Peace on Earth'. This is expressed by means of the vocal contribution expected from the performers. In various places of the piece you can recognize, the words 'Et In Terra Pax' - an appeal for peace - at first jumbled together but later more rhythmically structured, developing into synchronized massed voices.The work starts with a pentatonic theme based on the notes D, E, G, A and C (taken from 'ConCErtbAnD VlAmErtinGE' and the name of the conductor, NiCk VAnDEnDriessChe). A somewhat sad melody is developed during an orchestral climax which leads to the firstexplosion of sound (measure 62 onwards). Suddenly the opening measures are recaptured, albeit with a differently colored sound: the words 'Et In Terra Pax' bring the first movement to a close. A restless Allegro follows which abruptly stops and is replaced by a calming cho-rale-like passage. A narrator reads aloud the poem 'Sonnet' by the young poet Charles Hamilton Sorley, who was killed during World War I. This poem fittingly puts into words the cruelty and senselessness of war. After the expanded recapitulation of the allegro, the broad, almost infinite atmosphere of the beginning returns. Clarinet and English horn play the pentatonic opening theme once more, this time broadly, while the words 'Et In Terra... Pax' are repeated again and again by the rest of the orchestra.The composer has purposely avoided all forms of aggression and bombastic sounds regularly used in works about war. Fear of violence and destruction can be heard and felt during the allegro passages. The charged opening makes way in the end for hope: May peacefulness replace cruelty in everyday life, too.

Dieses Werk wurde im Auftrag der Concert Band Vlamertinge geschrieben und ist ein Pladoyer an den Frieden: Der Titel bedeutet dann auch 'Frieden auf Erden'. Dies kommt unter anderem im vokalen Anteil der Ausfuhrenden zum Ausdruck. An verschiedenenStellen des Werkes erklingen, anfangs durcheinander dann zu einem rhythmischen und strukturierten Synchrongesang vereint, die Worte 'Et In Terra Pax' wie ein flehendes Gebet fur den Frieden.

Ein pentatonisches Thema formt den Anfang dieses Werkes, basierend auf den Noten D, E, G, A, und C, die dem Namen: 'ConCErtbAnD VlAmErtingE' und dem Namen des Dirigenten NiCk VAnDEnDriessChe entstammen. Wahrend der orchestralen Klimax, die zu einemersten Klangausbruch fuhrt (ab Takt 62), entsteht eine etwas traurige Melodie. Plotzlich werden dann die Eingangstakte wiederaufgenommen, wenn auch mit einer veranderten Klangfarbe; die Worte 'Et In Terra Pax' runden den ersten Teil daraufhin ab. Esfolgt ein unruhiges Allegro, das uberraschend durch eine Choralartigen Passage voller Ruhe unterbrochen wird. Eine Sprechstimme liest wahrenddessen das Gedicht Sonnet des jungen Dichters Charles Hamilton Sorley vor, der im ersten Weltkriegfiel. Es findet fur die Grausamkeit und Sinnlosigkeit des Krieges die passenden Worte. Nachdem das Allegro, diesmal mit einigen Ausbreitungen, wiederholt wird, kehrt die weite, beinahe unendliche Atmosphare des Beginns wieder zuruck. Klarinettenspielen zusammen mit einem Englischhorn das pentatonische Eingangsthema ein letztes Mal in ausgebreiteter Fassung, wobei das Et In Terra Pax' durch den Rest des Orchesters stets wiederholt wird.Der Komponist hat bewusst auf jegliche Form der Aggression oder bombastischen Vertonung, die in so vielen Werken uber den Krieg zu finden ist, vermieden. Dennoch ist die Angst vor Gewalt und Zerstorung vor allem in den Allegro-Passagen deutlich zuhoren und zu fuhlen. Am Ende macht die anfangliche Spannung jedoch der Hoffnung Platz: Moge die Friedlichkeit auch im taglichen Leben die Grausamkeit verbannen...

Adagio for Brass is full of beautiful lyrical melodies and the warm harmony and full orchestration give the audience and the band the chance to give their thoughts free reign in a contemplative atmosphere. A wonderfully uplifting work suitable for concerts on all occasions and certainly not one to be missed.

Das ruhige und feierliche Adagio zeichnet sich durch melodische Weite und Ausdruckskraft aus. Lyrische Melodien, eine warme Harmonik und die volle Orchestrierung bieten Publikum und Musikern die Gelegenheit, ihren Gedanken in einer besinnlichen Atmosphäre freien Lauf zu lassen. Ein wunderbar aufbauendes Werk, das sich für viele Anlässe eignet.

Adagio for Winds est une ?uvre de commande pour la Fanfare Royale Ridder Jans Zonen de Dadizele en Belgique. Elle a été composée en mémoire de Walther Bekaert (1933-2002) et dédiée An Bekaert. Jan Van der Roost en a réalisé cette sublime orchestration pour Brass Band publiée sous le titre : Adagio for Brass.Le discours musical est serein et profond lâ??instar du célèbre Canterbury Chorale - une ?uvre antérieure de Jan Van der Roost - sans jamais tomber dans un mélodrame exagéré. La structure mélodique est fluide, ample et dâ??une grande puissance expressive. Aucune nuance de tristesse, de ranc?ur ou de révolte sourde nâ??est perceptible. Lamusique est porteuse dâ??espoir mais aussi dâ??une certaine résignation dâ??où lâ??utilisation dâ??un environnement presquâ??exclusivement centré sur la tierce Majeure. Une interprétation en hommage un être cher disparu accentue le souvenir des belles choses. Une interprétation dans un contexte neutre permet de souligner la mélodie lyrique, les harmonies chatoyantes et la richesse de lâ??orchestration. Les musiciens et le public ont ainsi la possibilité de laisser sâ??épanouir leur imagination dans une atmosphère contemplative. Lâ??accord final élargi symbolise dâ??une certaine manière la finitude et lâ??infinitude de la vie. La mort marque la fin de lâ??existence dâ??un être mais ne détruit ni les liens dâ??amour, ni la vie en général.

Commissione d by a consortium of 20 high school and university bands coordinated by Scott Hanna of the University of Texas at Austin, Downshifting is inspired by Welcher’s joy of bicycle riding. Welcher explains in the program note: When I decided to write a piece for band that was basically entertaining and uplifting, it made perfect sense to call it Downshifting... With three gears on the front sprocket and seven on the rear, it’s possible to keep one’s legs going at a constant speed (for me, q = 126) while the bike itself may be moving very slowly or very quickly. I determined to capitalize on this in writing Downshifting, which keeps the same mathematical inner pulse, ‘shifting’ (with a ratchet) as the terrain changes..
One of the joys of life for me is riding my 21-speed bicycle.  As a basically non-athletic person who nonetheless likes to stay in shape, I have found that riding my bike provides just the exercise I need.  The workout is strenuous, but pleasant—and the infinite variety of scenery I pass keeps me alert and wide awake.  When I decided to write a piece for band that was basically entertaining and uplifting, it made perfect sense to call it Downshifting.With three gears on the front sprocket and seven on the rear, it’s possible to keep ones legs going at a constant speed (for me, that’s 126 to the quarter note) while the bike itself may be moving very slowly or very quickly.  I determined to capitalize on this in writing the music, which manages to keep the same mathematical inner pulse, “shifting” (with a ratchet) as the terrain changes.  So Downshifting begins with that steady pulse, on a grid of eighth notes in 2/4 to propel the little vehicle forward.  There’s a joyous little tune in our heads as we begin our ride.  As the initial thrill of riding on the flat gives way to monotony, we stay in that pulse for the first minute or so of the ride.  Then, as the first hill becomes visible, we shift the bike down: even though the eighths are equal, the pulse feels slower (and we’re now in 6/8 time).  Ultimately the compound meter shifts again as the climb begins, and we’re now plodding doggedly up the hill.  (The music reflects all of these changes, with subtitles such as “Working harder—Seeing the climb, ahead”, “Steady and committed…the climb begins!”, “Straining against the grade”, etc.).There are two hills, and two long climbs (but in different keys, reflecting the change in scenery).  When at last the summit of the second hill is reached (“Flying, Over the Top”), we coast at last down the other side at breakneck speed.  The initial joyous melody returns, but now in a spread-out coasting pulse.  At the end of the ride, we slow to a stop—then take one last sprint (shifting five times in the process) in order to end on a biker’s high.Downshifting was commissioned by a consortium of fourteen high school and college bands, overseen by my longtime colleague at the University of Texas, Scott Hanna.  The piece is dedicated to him (and to all bicycle enthusiasts).
