Moonlight Serenade was composed in 1939, by Glenn Miller in his typically American big-band style. It was an immediate success and it even became the signature tune of Glenn Miller. The catchy melody has since been used in various films and television series. It has been performed in many styles, from romantic to swinging. The Flanders Recorder Quartet likes to play this work with a low recorder consort: tenor, F bass, C bass, great bass (each instrument then plays an octave lower). This gives the work a slightly “close harmony” feel. Of course the more usual line-up also does the music justice.

Moonli ght Serenade is in 1939 gecomponeerd door Glenn Miller in zijn typisch Amerikaanse Bigbandstijl. De aanstekelijke melodie is in verschillende films en televisieseries gebruikt. In Frankrijk is de song populair gewordenonder de titel Dansez maintenant (1975) - in een uitvoering van Dave. Het Flanders Recorder Quartet speelt dii werk graag in laag blokfluitconsort: tenor, F-bas, C-bas, grootbas (elk instrument speelt dan een octaaf lager). Zo ontstaateen lichte close-harmonystijl. De muziek komt in de gebruikelijke bezetting natuurlijk ook uitstekend tot haar recht.

Moonligh t Serenade wurde 1939 von Glenn Miller in dem ihm eigenen, typisch amerikanischen Big-Band-Stil komponiert. Es wurde schon in vielen Stilen - von romantisch bis Swing - interpretiert. Das Flanders Recorder Quartet aus Belgien, dessen Mitglied und Arrangeur Paul van Loey diese Bearbeitung schrieb, spielt das Stück gerne mit einem tiefen Blockflötenensemble: Tenor-, F-Bass-, C-Bass- und Großbassblockflöte (wobei jedes Instrument eine Oktave tiefer spielt). Dies verleiht dem Werk eine Art Close Harmony“-Gefühl. Aber auch die übliche Besetzung wird der Musik vollkommen gerecht.

Glenn Miller (1904-1944) fut l’un des plus grands chefs d’orchestre de swing américains de son temps. Le son mythique du prestigieux Glenn Miller Orchestra mêlant swing, jazz et improvisation est, aujourd’hui encore, célèbre dans le monde entier. Glenn Miller reste pour le public une véritable légende et ses airs les plus célèbres sont dans toutes les mémoires. En 1939, Glenn Miller composa Moonlight Serenade, une pièce dont l’idiome sonore est typique du style Big Band américain. Il présenta sa création pour la première fois sur la face B du disque Sunrise Serenade. Le succès fut immédiat. La mélodie fit l’objet de nombreuses reprises notamment au cinéma et latélévision.

Nel 1939, Glenn Miller compose Moonlight Serenade, un brano dal linguaggio sonoro tipico dello stile big band americano. Esistono oggi numerose varianti stilistiche di questo brano. Il quartetto di flauto dolce delle Fiandre privilegia suonarlo con strumenti che si sviluppano nei registri gravi: flauti dolci tenori, basso in Fa, basso in Do e un grande basso. Il brano rivela così una struttura in close harmony. E' anche possibile eseguire il brano con un ensemble strutturato in maniera più tradizionale.

Just five studio albums between 1964 and 1970 were sufficient for Simon and Garfunkel to become the most popular folk duet of the sixties. Their songs are poetic and sometime melancholic but The Sound of Silence remains on of their greatest successes.

De Amerikaanse zanger Paul Simon maakt van 1966 tot en met 1970 deel uit van het folkpopduo Simon & Garfunkel. Het duo heeft veel succes met albums als Sounds of Silence (1966), Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme(1966), Bookends (1968) en vooral Bridge over Troubled Water (1970). Het levert hen ook grote hits op, waarvan enkele nummers uitgroeien tot klassiekers, zoals ook The Sound of Silence. Mia Schmidt bewerktedit prachtige nummer voor blokfluitkwartet.

The Sound of Silence ist eine der früheren Kompositionen von Paul Simon, erstmals erschienen auf dem noch mäßig erfolgreichen Album Wednesday Morning, 3 a.m. von 1964. Später sollte es in einer überarbeiteten Fassung zu einem der größten Hits des Folk-Rock-Duos Simon and Garfunkel werden. Mia Schmidt passte den Klassiker geschickt für Blockflötenquartett an.

Cinq albums studios entre 1964 et 1970 suffirent Simon & Garfunkel pour devenir le duo folk le plus célèbre des années 60. Leurs chansons sont tantôt poétiques et mélancoliques, tantôt douces-amères. The Sound Of Silence est un des plus grands succès du duo.

Cinque album tra il 1964 e il 1970 bastarono a Simon & Garfunkel per diventare il duo folk più celebre degli anni '60. Le loro canzoni sono poetiche e malinconiche, dolci e amare. The Sound of Silence è uno dei più grandi successi del duo.

In 1982 Karel van Steenhoven, founder member of the Amsterdam Loeki Stardust Quartet, wrote this modal composition Silent Danger for his ensemble. It is an experimental and witty work, a play on tones, chords, sounds and unusual effects. The idea behind it is described by Steenhoven as follows: 'As long as music is without aim, it remains free, versatile, is developing; when it seeks an aim, it becomes rigid, gets stuck in repeated chords.' - a rewarding task for performers, and a composition worth listening to for the audience.
