Aram Iljitsj Khatchaturian de nationalité arménienne naît en 1903 à Tiflis dans une famille pauvre de relieurs. Il débute sa formation musicale en 1922 à la Gnessin Music School de Moscou avec Mikhail Gnessis comme professeur de composition. Il achève ses études au Conservatoire de Moscou o? il suit les cours de Nikolai Miaskovsky célèbre compositeur et pédagogue soviétique. Khatchaturian composera entre autres deux symphonies trois concertos (pour piano pour violon et pour violoncelle) les musiques de trois ballets (Happiness Gayane Spartacus) ainsi que de nombreuses uvres de musique de chambre instrumentale et vocale. En 1959 sa dernière composition - le balletSpartacus - remporte le Prix Lénine la plus haute distinction de lépoque. Le livret de N. Volkov pour le ballet Spartacus est basé sur des faits historiques réels : la grande révolte des esclaves à Rome en 74-71 av. J.-C. dont Spartacus était le chef. Malgré ce fondement historique Spartacus est toujours resté dactualité. Khatchaturian écrit dailleurs : Je pense quà bien des égards la personnalité héro?que de Spartacus se retrouve dans la lutte que mènent aujourdhui les peuples opprimés pour leurs droits. Spartacus comprend trois suites. Chacune est une composition autonome complète et possédant sa propre structure logique et son propre développement.

The Samba is a Latin American dance which is mostly associated with parties as a result of the fast tempo in which it is usually played. ‘Sumba Samba’ forms an exception to this rule. In order to get this samba to swing it is important to stick to the tempo prescribed. ‘Sumba Samba’ starts with a motif which will play an important role throughout the piece. This motif can be heard in the first notes of the ‘refrain’ and as said before has been used in the introduction as well as in the transition after the middle part (letter G). Furthermore it plays an important role in the middle part itself (letter E) in which the samba has momentarily disappeared and acompletely different atmosphere has been created. At letter H we pick up where we left off with the samba and swing to the end of this composition.

Hymnus was commissioned by the Wilhelmina Easterein Fanfare Orchestra in the Autumn of 1999 for their performance at the World Music Contest Kerkrade. The commission was the result of a collaboration between the composer and the thenmusical director Marten van der Wal. The exact meaning of the word Hymnus is not known but it is taken in this presentation to mean hymn or hymn-like. The melodic material is organic and grows from an initial unison tone. Thisinterval is gradually expanded to form the cell F E C F a semitone third fifth. The only other melodic motif is the ascending three-note pattern spanning a major third. This is the second of his compositions to use this ascending motif theother being Fanfare for a Bright New Age for Brass Band and Organ also of 2000. These characteristic intervals appear in many contrasting moods and guises throughout the piece. The opening unison notes are intended to convey as sense ofpower and magnificence like the first sounds at the dawning of the universe. After the immense power a period of stunned silence and reverence. The evolution of the hymn melody incorporates a variety of moods and atmospheres sometimes expressing much joy and celebration whilst also suggesting periods of intense savagery or prayerful contemplation. The hymn builds as the piece progresses and is finally stated in its complete form at letter W. The official worldpremiere of the work was given by Wilhelmina Easterein at the World Music Contest 2001. Whilst the composer was unable to attend in person he was able to enjoy the premier simultaneously transmitted via a mobile phone from the audience! Conductors Note The tempo indications are to be viewed as a guide rather than a literal instruction. Within the music there is an innate sense of pulse and metre lending itself to considerable rubato. Melody is king and all else is mere support and decoration careful attention must therefore be given to balance.

The atmosphere of the Wild West is caught in a striking and most imaginative way...(+)
The atmosphere of the Wild West is caught in a striking and most imaginative way by young composer Andreas Schulte in this work. A caravan of gold- and fortuneseekers launch themselves into a big adventure and begin their rush westward. The first movement desciribes these first days of buoyancy and optimism in a crisp march. Near the campfire the pioneers rest themselves and the music expresses feelings of romance nostalgia for the past and hopes for the future. A wistful melody very characteristically communicates these feelings. Relaxation takes place in the third movement which is a musical characterization of a rodeo and its attendant festivities.It is obvious that sometimes something goes wrong and this aspect can also be heard. Nevertheless the valiant rider wins in the end. With a flashback to the beginning the journey is completed musically thus giving the composition a dignified finale. Let the mystic Wild West entrance you. (Wagons ho ....!!) De sfeer van het Wilde Westen wordt door de jonge componist Andreas Ludwig Schulte op een uiterst treffende en beeldende wijze geschetst. Een karavaan van goud- en gelukzoekers stort zich in het grote avontuur en begint de grote reis naar het westen. Het eerste gedeelte beschrijft de eerste dagen van opgewektheid en optimisme in een vlotte mars. Bij het kampvuur komen de pioniers tot rust en worden gevoelens van romantiek heimwee (verleden) en hoop (toekomst) muzikaal weergegeven. Een weemoedige melodie verwoordt die gevoelens op een zeer kenmerkende wijze. De ontspanning vindt plaats in het derde deel waarin een rodeofeest muzikaal wordt verklankt. Met een flashback van het begin wordt de tocht voltooid en de compositie waardig afgesloten. Raak in de ban van het wilde westen!
