The melodic 5-note title phrase of the classic hymn Blessed Assurance provides the starting point for Robert Thurston's exuberantly creative riff on a beloved American religious tune. Thurston imbues the rhythms, harmonies, and textures of Assurance with a pop sensibility, while observing traditional formal structures--there's even a 4-part fugue to set up the final third of the piece! Assurance isn't an arrangement--it's a highly original, joyous, and fervently spirited musical tour de force.

In the summer of 1852, Vier Stücke ['Four Pieces'] for viola and piano by Robert Schumann were published under the title Märchenbilder ['Fairy-Tale Pictures'] by the Kassel publishing house Luckhardt, with a particularly expressive vignette on the titlepage. Unusual were both this title Märchenbilder, on the one hand, and the scoring with a solo viola, on the other. With the viola in a soloistic role in chamber music, Schumann's Märchenbilder, Op. 113, offers a rather unfamiliar, but all the more delightful sound.

Springsteen schreef dit nummer toen hij, door een conflict met zijn voormalige impresario, een tijdlang geen albums mocht maken. Hij stuurde het naar Elvis Presley, die echter kort daarna overleed. Robert Gordon nam Fire opin 1978, maar het grote succes kwam met de versie van de Pointer Sisters, uit hetzelfde jaar. Zelf bracht The Boss halverwege de jaren tachtig een opzwepende live-opname uit. Peter Kleine Schaars schreef een arrangement waarin desfeer van dit Springsteen- nummer duidelijk naar voren komt.

Bruce Springsteen schrieb Fire bereits im Jahre 1977 für sein Idol Elvis Presley, der jedoch im selben Jahr starb, ohne auf die ihm zugeschickte Komposition reagieren zu können. Die erste Veröffentlichung von Fire stammt nicht von Springsteen, sondern von seinem Kollegen Robert Gordon, 1978 wurde der Song mit den Pointer Sisters bekannt. Peter Kleine Schaars schuf nun eine Brass-Band-Bearbeitung dieser Interpretation.

En 1977, Bruce Springsteen - surnommé The Boss - compose la chanson Fire qu’il envoie son idole Elvis Presley dans l’espoir que celui-ci la chante. Elvis Presley décède la même année sans connaîtra un certain succès avec la reprise des Pointer Sisters avant de faire le tour du monde dans une version live de légende signée par The Boss lui-même. Succombez la “Bossmania” avec cet arrangement de Peter Kleine Schaars.

A mass setting by Robert Schumann? This is still likely to cause surprise among audiences – after all, Schumann is not generally viewed as a sacred composer. Indeed, his little-known late work, the Missa sacra, Op. 147, is a discovery not just for listeners but often for the performers themselves. The mass combines an acute fascination with sacred liturgy typical of Schumann’s time with the pragmatism of its intended use by a local choral society. The composer employs his considerable skills to create a captivating and varied score that is almost ethereal in the Kyrie, leading to passages of an intimate and lyrical piano that alternate with fortissimo for words of praise, while always displaying the utmost sensitivity and a delight in dissonance. The composer declared his setting to be “fashioned with great love”. The demanding orchestral mass can be realized with limited means. The solo parts can be filled from the choir. The work, which the composer himself did not have published, is here reissued on the basis of Schumann’s partial autograph score. Carus has also produced an arrangement of the work for choir & organ, enabling performances without orchestra in smaller venues (Carus 40.687/45).

The “cat and mouse chase” has been a part of folklore and popular culture since the time of pharaohs in ancient Egypt. Over the ages, the chase has served as a metaphor for the suspenseful and sometimes alternating relation between hunter and hunted. In the modern age, the story has been played out hundreds of times in popular animated cartoons, often accompanied by a musical score representing the energetic spirit of the chase with lively twists and turns, sudden surprises and tongue-in-cheek music. In this spirit of playfulness and suspense, Robert Spittal has created a marvelous work that is both entertaining and exhilarating. Duration: 6:30 (Grade 4)
