Not much is
known about the origin of
Huntingtower, except for
the fact that this ballad
was composed in 1931 by
the Italian composer
Ottorino Respighi
(1879-1936), commissioned
by Edwin Franko Goldman
and the American
Bandmaster Association,
and was premiered on 17
April 1932 at a concert
in memory of John Philip
Sousa in Washington D.C.
It is not even certain
whether Respighi arranged
the work himself, or left
this to someone else.
Huntingtower is the name
of a castle in Scotland,
where Respighi spent some
time. It is possible that
this ballad contains his
musical impressions of
his stay there. The
orchestration on this CD,
made by Franco Cesarini
in 1987, is an adaptation
ofthe work to the demands
of the contemporary
concert band.

Franz
Schreker was an important
representative of the
Wiener Moderne and one of
the most successful opera
composers at the
beginning of the 20th
century. To conclude his
studies at the Vienna
Conservatory he set Psalm
116 for women's choir and
orchestra (1900) and
dedicated to his beloved
teacher Robert Fuchs, in
reverence. Fuchs, the
highly respected
composition teacher, was
a close friend of
Johannes Brahms and a
champion of Brahms's
romantic classicism.
Thus, Schreker's psalm
setting closely follows
the tonal language of
Brahms. In 1901 Psalm 116
was first performed in a
concert of the
Gesellschaft der
Musikfreunde in Vienna,
and was first published
in the same year by the
Viennese publisher Adolf
Robitschek. The scoring
of the psalm is identical
with that of Brahms's
Deutsches Requiem, which
would suggest and
facilitate a performance
of both these on the same
concert program. Score
and part available
