'LIST ENING EARTH' is a symphonic drama, a one- movement composition in four parts based on the work by two writers, Joseph Addison (1672-1719) and W.H.Auden (1907-1973). Joseph Addison is not particularly well known; he was English, a classical scholar, essayist, poet and politician, but one of his hymns was used by Benjamin Britten. in his setting of a Thomas Tallis canon.
The hymn is singularly beautiful and being a composer always inspired by extramusical stimuli such as poems, nature, paintings, I was immediately convinced when I carne across the Addison hymn, that here was exactly what I wanted to use as my major source of inspiration for this piece, commissioned by and written for The Berlin Philharmonic.
I don't refer to the hymn in its entirety, but have chosen the following 3 excerpts, all acting as mottos for the first three sections of the piece, thus turning the piece into a straightforward tonepoem in the classical.

Flowers bloom and the world stirs with life renewed in Spring’s Awakening! The music begins with a driving ostinato in the clarinets, and staggered entrances that portray flowers opening for the first time. After the entire ensemble enters, two different melodic themes are passed throughout the ensemble, layered over driving 8th-note rhythms that propel the music forward. Spring’s Awakening is an engaging and beautiful work that makes a perfect fit for any spring or end of the year concert.

This gripping programmatic work depicts the historic Battle of Tripoli. A mysterious opening foreshadows the impending conflict as American ships set sail for war. Tension builds as Marines cross the Libyan Desert and courageously storm the fortified pirate city of Derna. The Marine's Hymn announces the adrenaline-rushing assault complete with an aleatoric aerial bombardment. This innovative work is likely to be the most memorable portion of your concert or festival performance. Riveting!

After an opening gong, the composition’s motif is presented by solo flute, accompanied by soft low woodwinds, then clarinets, then tutti. The main theme, a somber melody in Dorian mode, is first introduced in a slow tempo, then as an agitated Allegro with aggressive percussion. Excellent for contest or festival.

Look no further for the quintessential concert opener for your young band! A powerful opening fanfare leads to a warm and flowing theme introduced by the clarinets. As the music develops, a secondary theme is introduced, proud and heroic in nature. This theme is fully explored amid varied harmonic structures and driving rhythms. Finally, the music ends as it began, with the powerful fanfare presented even stronger this time. Varied textures, memorable themes, and fresh, contemporary harmonies hold the interest of the listener, while providing some valuable teaching opportunities. A strong choice for concert or festival performance!

Aus tiefer Not. Composed by Friedhelm Rentzsch. German title: Psalm 130 Fur A + Orchester (1990). Psalms, German, Psalms. Full score. Composed 1990. Duration 20 minutes. Carus Verlag #CV 40.752/00. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.4075200).

Friedhelm Rentzsch, long a cellist in the Dresden Philharmonic, set Psalm 130, whose character of penitence is especially impressive here, through the reduction of the musical forces to a solo alto with orchestral accompaniment, and this in a most unique, urgent manner. Through the addition of a sombre text by Erich Arendt the subective manner of the song is placed in a worldly context encompassing all periods of time. Repeatedly, passages of a quiet character alternate with tutti phases which sometimes climax to passages employing clusters.

A brief introduction leads to a majestic theme in the clarinets, supported by pounding percussion beats, before the brass section takes up the theme in a quicker, heroic fashion. In Statue of Liberty the French composer Thierry Deleruyelledepicts the grandeur and sheer scale of the statue, which was created in his homeland as a gift to the United States.

In deze compositie gaat een korte inleiding vooraf aan een verheven thema in de klarinetten, ondersteund door stevige slagen in het slagwerk. Vervolgens introduceert de kopersectie een heroïsch, sneller gespeeld thema. Het werk besluitmajestueus, met een terugkeer naar het oorspronkelijke tempo. In Statue of Liberty omschrijft Thierry Deleruyelle de pracht van het Vrijheidsbeeld, dat in Frankrijk werd gebouwd als een geschenk aan de Verenigde Staten.

Eine kurze Einleitung mündet in ein majestätisches Thema in den Klarinetten, unterstützt von hämmernden Beats im Schlagzeug, bevor die Blechbläser das Thema schneller und in würdevoller Weise präsentieren. In Statue of Liberty beschreibtder Franzose Thierry Deleruyelle die Pracht und Größe der Freiheitsstatue, die in seinem Land als Geschenk an die Vereinigten Staaten geschaffen wurde.

La Liberté éclairant le monde, plus connue sous le nom de Statue de la Liberté... L’oeuvre musicale éponyme dépeint la grandeur du monument et toute la symbolique qu’elle comporte.
Une brève introduction précède un thème noble joué aux clarinettes, soutenu par les battements lourds de la percussion. Puis ce sont les cuivres qui, dans un mouvement plus rapide, présentent un thème héroïque. L’oeuvrese termine majestueusement par un retour au tempo initial. Un vent de liberté souffle sur vos musiciens et vos auditeurs !

Una breve introduzione sfocia in un tema maestoso dei clarinetti, supportato da beat martellanti della batteria, prima che gli ottoni presentino il tema in una modalit più veloce e più eroica. In Statue of Liberty il francese ThierryDeleruyelle descrive lo splendore e la grandezza della Statua della Libert , realizzata nel suo Paese come regalo agli Stati Uniti.
