Following a
celebrated series of wind
ensemble tone poems about
national parks in the
American West, Dan
Welcher’s Upriver
celebrates the Lewis &
Clark Expedition from the
Missouri River to
Oregon’s Columbia
Gorge, following the
Louisiana Purchase of
1803. Welcher’s
imaginative textures and
inventiveness are freshly
modern, evoking our
American heritage,
including references to
Shenandoah and other folk
songs known to have been
sung on the expedition.
For advanced players.
Duration:
14’. In 1803,
President Thomas
Jefferson sent Meriwether
Lewis and William
Clark’s Corps of
Discovery to find a water
route to the Pacific and
explore the uncharted
West. He believed woolly
mammoths, erupting
volcanoes, and mountains
of pure salt awaited
them. What they found was
no less mind-boggling:
some 300 species unknown
to science, nearly 50
Indian tribes, and the
Rockies.Ihave been a
student of the Lewis and
Clark expedition, which
Thomas Jefferson called
the “Voyage of
Discovery,†for as
long as I can remember.
This astonishing journey,
lasting more than
two-and-a-half years,
began and ended in St.
Louis, Missouri —
and took the travelers up
more than a few rivers in
their quest to find the
Northwest Passage to the
Pacific Ocean. In an age
without speedy
communication, this was
akin to space travel out
of radio range in our own
time: no one knew if,
indeed, the party had
even survived the voyage
for more than a year.
Most of them were
soldiers. A few were
French-Canadian voyageurs
— hired trappers
and explorers, who were
fluent in French (spoken
extensively in the
region, due to earlier
explorers from France)
and in some of the Indian
languages they might
encounter. One of the
voyageurs, a man named
Pierre Cruzatte, also
happened to be a
better-than-average
fiddle player. In many
respects, the travelers
were completely on their
own for supplies and
survival, yet,
incredibly, only one of
them died during the
voyage. Jefferson had
outfitted them with food,
weapons, medicine, and
clothing — and
along with other
trinkets, a box of 200
jaw harps to be used in
trading with the Indians.
Their trip was long,
perilous to the point of
near catastrophe, and
arduous. The dream of a
Northwest Passage proved
ephemeral, but the
northwestern quarter of
the continent had finally
been explored, mapped,
and described to an
anxious world. When the
party returned to St.
Louis in 1806, and with
the Louisiana Purchase
now part of the United
States, they were greeted
as national heroes.Ihave
written a sizeable number
of works for wind
ensemble that draw their
inspiration from the
monumental spaces found
in the American West.
Four of them (Arches, The
Yellowstone Fires,
Glacier, and Zion) take
their names, and in large
part their being, from
actual national parks in
Utah, Wyoming, and
Montana. But Upriver,
although it found its
voice (and its finale) in
the magnificent Columbia
Gorge in Oregon, is about
a much larger region.
This piece, like its
brother works about the
national parks,
doesn’t try to
tell a story. Instead, it
captures the flavor of a
certain time, and of a
grand adventure. Cast in
one continuous movement
and lasting close to
fourteen minutes, the
piece falls into several
subsections, each with
its own heading: The
Dream (in which
Jefferson’s vision
of a vast expanse of
western land is opened);
The Promise, a chorale
that re-appears several
times in the course of
the piece and represents
the seriousness of the
presidential mission; The
River; The Voyageurs; The
River II ; Death and
Disappointment; Return to
the Voyage; and The River
III .The music includes
several quoted melodies,
one of which is familiar
to everyone as the
ultimate “river
song,†and which
becomes the
through-stream of the
work. All of the quoted
tunes were either sung by
the men on the voyage, or
played by
Cruzatte’s fiddle.
From various journals and
diaries, we know the men
found enjoyment and
solace in music, and
almost every night
encampment had at least a
bit of music in it. In
addition to Cruzatte,
there were two other
members of the party who
played the fiddle, and
others made do with
singing, or playing upon
sticks, bones, the
ever-present jaw harps,
and boat horns. From
Lewis’ journals, I
found all the tunes used
in Upriver: Shenandoah
(still popular after more
than 200 years),
V’la bon vent,
Soldier’s Joy,
Johnny Has Gone for a
Soldier, Come Ye Sinners
Poor and Needy (a hymn
sung to the tune
“Beech
Springâ€) and
Fisher’s Hornpipe.
The work follows an
emotional journey: not
necessarily step-by-step
with the Voyage of
Discovery heroes, but a
kind of grand arch.
Beginning in the mists of
history and myth,
traversing peaks and
valleys both real and
emotional (and a solemn
funeral scene), finding
help from native people,
and recalling their zeal
upon finding the one
great river that will, in
fact, take them to the
Pacific. When the men
finally roar through the
Columbia Gorge in their
boats (a feat that even
the Indians had not
attempted), the
magnificent river
combines its theme with
the chorale of
Jefferson’s
Promise. The Dream is
fulfilled: not quite the
one Jefferson had
imagined (there is no
navigable water passage
from the Missouri to the
Pacific), but the dream
of a continental
destiny.

The 1712
Overture stands out in
P.D.Q. Bach's oeuvre for
two reasons, among
others: it is by far the
most programmatic
instrumental piece among
those by the minimeister
of Wein-am-Rhein so far
unearthed, and 2) its
discovery has led to a
revelation about the
composer's father, Johann
Sebastian Bach, that has
exploded like a bombshell
on the usually serene
musicological landscape.
The overture is based on
an anecdote told to
P.D.Q. Bach by a cousin,
Peter Ulrich. Since P.U.
Bach lived in Dudeldorf,
only a few miles down the
road from Wein-am-Rhein,
he was P.D.Q.'s closest
relative, and he was, in
fact, one of the few
members of the family who
was on speaking terms
with P.D.Q. The story,
related to P.D.Q.
(fortunately for us
posterity types) in a
letter, may be summarized
thus: The town of
Dudeldorf was founded by
two brothers, Rudi and
Dieter Dudel, early in
the 18th century. Rudi
remained mayor of the
newborn burg for the rest
of his long life, but
Dieter had a dream of
starting a musicians'
colony, an entire city
devoted to music, which
dream, he finally
decided, could be
realized only in the New
World. In 1712, he and
several other bagpipers
sailed to Boston, never
to return to Germany.
(Henceforth, Rudi became
known as der deutscher
Dudel and Dieter as the
Yankee Dudel).
Unfortunately, the head
of the Boston Musicians'
Guild had gotten wind of
Dudel's plans, and
Wilhelm Wiesel (pron.
VEE-zle), known none too
affectionately around
town as Wiesel the
Weasel, was not about to
share what few gigs there
were in colonial America
with more foreigners and
outside agitators. He and
his cronies were on hand
to meet Dudel's boat when
it pulled into Boston
Harbor; they intended to
prevent the newcomers'
disembarkation, but Dudel
and his companions
managed to escape to the
other side of the bay in
a dinghy, landing with
just enough time to rent
a carriage and horses
before hearing the sound
of The Weasel and his
men, who had had to come
around the long way. The
Germans headed West, with
the Bostonians in furious
pursuit. soon the city
had been left far behind,
and by midnight so had
the pursuers; Dieter
Dudel decided that it was
safe for him and his men
to stop and sleep until
daybreak. When they
awoke, they found that
they were in a beautiful
landscape of low,
forested mountains and
pleasant fields, warmed
by the brilliant morning
sun and serenaded by an
entrancing variety of
birds. Here, Dudel
thought, her is where I
will build my colony. The
immigrants continued down
the road at a leisurely
pace until they came upon
a little church, all by
itself in the
countryside, from which
there suddenly emanated
the sounds of a pipe
organ. At this point, the
temptation to quote from
P.U. Bach's letter to
P.D.Q. cannot be
resisted: They went
inside and, after
listening to the glorious
music for a while,
introduced themselves to
the organist. And who do
you think it was? Are you
ready for this -- it was
your old man! Hey, no
kidding -- you know, I'm
sure, that your father
was the guy to get when
it came to testing new
organs, and whoever had
that one in Massachusetts
built offered old
Sebastian a tidy sum to
go over there and check
it out. The unexpected
meeting with J.S. Bach
and his sponsors was
interrupted by the sound
of horse hooves, as the
dreaded Wiesel and his
men thundered on to the
scene. They had been
riding all night,
however, and they were no
spring chickens to start
with, and as soon as they
reached the church they
all dropped, exhausted,
to the ground. The elated
Germans rang the church
bells and offered to buy
everyone a beer at the
nearest tavern. There
they were taught, and
joined in singing, what
might be called the
national anthem of the
New World. The melody of
this pre-revolutionary
patriotic song is still
remembered (P.D.Q. Bach
quotes it, in the bass
instruments, near the end
of the overture), but is
words are now all but
forgotten: Freedom, of
thee we sing, Freedom
e'er is our goal; Death
to the English King, Long
live Rock and Ross. The
striking paucity of
biographical references
to Johann Sebastian Bah
during the year 1712 can
now be explained: he was
abroad for a significant
part of that year,
testing organs in the
British Colonies. That
this revelation has not
been accepted as fact by
the musicological
establishment is no
surprise, since it means
that a lot of books would
have to be rewritten. The
members of that
establishment haven't
even accepted the
existence of P.D.Q. Bach,
one of whose major works
the 1712 Overture
certainly is. It is also
a work that shows
Tchaikowsky up as the
shameless plagiarizer
that some of us have
always known he was. The
discovery of this awesome
opus was made possible by
a Boston Pops Centennial
Research Commission; the
first modern performance
took place at the opening
concert of the 100th
anniversary season of
that orchestra, under the
exciting but authentic
direction of John
Williams.

ARKA
stammt aus dem
Sanskrit und bedeutet so
viel wie Strahl, Blitz,
Sonne, Licht, aber auch
Lied, Feuer und Hymnus,
und entwickelt in meiner
Vorstellung sehr viele
unterschiedliche
Assoziationsfelder. In
ARKA stecken
auch die Worter arc
(beten) und ka (Wasser),
und es kann auch
ubersetzt werden mit:
,,Das Wasser stromt aus
dem heraus, der mehr
weiss.
Mein neues
Werk fur Pipa, Oboe,
Pauke, Schlagzeug und
Orchester entstand im
Auftrag der
Kammerakademie Neuss und
auf Anregung des Oboisten
Christian Wetzel. Es
entstanden drei Rituale
mit zum Teil szenischen
Elementen fur die
Solisten und das
Orchester.
Inspirationsquelle in
der Vorbeschaftigung
waren zwei Quellen und
Bucher. Das Daodejing von
Laozi in der
hervorragenden
Neuubersetzung von Viktor
Kalinke, eine der
wichtigsten Quellen
chinesischen Denkens und
der Philosophie dieser
grossen Kulturtradition
und die chinesische
Tradition der
5-Elementelehre und der
Wandlungsphasen. Als
zweites Buch hat mich
,,Die Glut von Roberto
Calasso inspiriert, ein
Buch uber die indischen
Veden in Verbindung mit
den Ursprungen des
Buddhismus und den damit
verbunden Ritualen.
In den letzten 20
Jahren habe ich mich
intensiv mit
ostasiatischer Musik,
Kunst und Philosophie
beschaftigt und habe das
auch durch langere
Studienreisen und
kompositorische Projekte
vertiefen konnen. U.a.
wurde 2012 mein Chorwerk
PRAN in Kolkata in Indien
uraufgefuhrt
(Goethe-Institut),
ebenfalls 2012 ,,in
between VI fur Sho und
Sheng in Tokyo und 2013
,,Mirror and Circle fur
Pipa, Cello und
chinesisches Orchester in
Taipeh/Taiwan
(Auftragswerk der
taiwanesischen
Regierung). Mit der
chinesischen
Pipa-Virtuosin Ya Dong
arbeite ich seit 2000
zusammen und habe fur sie
mehrfach komponiert
(Urauffuhrungen u.a. in
Hannover/EXPO 2000,
Rottweil 2001, Taipeh
2013, Magdeburg 2016).
Auch mit Christian Wetzel
arbeite ich seit uber 20
Jahren zusammen und habe
ebenfalls haufig fur ihn
komponiert (UA u.a. in
Bonn 1999, Hannover/EXPO
2000, Rottweil 2001,
Darmstadt 2004 und
etliche weitere
Projekte).
Jedes
dieser drei Rituale hat
eine Lange von ca. 6-7
Minuten und stellt
unterschiedliche
Qualitaten und
Besonderheiten der beiden
Soloinstrumente heraus,
immer in Verbindung mit
der Interaktion zwischen
Soli und Orchester. Die
Besetzung war fur mich
ausserst reizvoll, da
beide Instrumente in
dieser Kombination noch
nie so erklungen sind.
Die Pipa ist ein ungemein
modernes und
ungewohnliches
Instrument, reich an
Farben und vor allem an
perkussiven Effekten. Das
Tonmaterial wurde zum
grossten Teil aus den
Namen der beiden Solisten
gewonnen und ergibt
interessanter zwei
gespiegelte
Viertonmotive. In der
asiatischen Kultur
spielen der Spiegel und
der Kreis eine wichtige
Rolle, und so werden die
Tone, Rhythmen und Formen
eingewoben in diese drei
Rituale, welche am Ende
des dritten Satzes wieder
kreisformig an den Anfang
des ersten Rituals
anknupfen. Ein von den
Streichern und der Pauke
erzeugtes Gerausch,
verbunden mit dem
Rhythmus der grossen
Trommel, welcher einen
Herzschlag symbolisieren
soll. Die drei Untertitel
der Rituale Himmel, Erde
und (atmospharischer)
Raum spielen im vedischen
und chinesischen Denken
eine grosse Rolle und war
fur mich beim Komponieren
ebenfalls eine sehr
starke
Inspirationsquelle. In
vielen meiner
Kompositionen gibt es
Raumeffekte, Annaherungen
an das Publikum, das
Verschieben von
Perspektiven, die
Dekonstruktion und das
Hinterfragen der ublichen
Konzertsituation, so u.a
in meinem Beuys-Zyklus
oder in den Zyklen ,,CUT
und ,,in between.
In ARKA geht
es mir besonders um die
Interaktion zwischen
westlichem und ostlichem
Denken, um das
gegenseitige Durchdringen
dieser auf den ersten
Blick so
unterschiedlichen Denk-
und Lebensweisen, um eine
Verschmelzung scheinbarer
Gegensatze - um
Annaherung!

AGNI is the
Hindu god of fire; the
elemental and
transformative force
inherent in
everything:
Every
flame, every fire, every
light, every warmth is
AGNI.
AGNI is
omnipresent, establishing
everything and ending
everything.
AGNI is
often depicted with seven
tongues which represent
different aspects of his
being.
These
include: creating,
sustaining, cleansing,
purifying, priestly,
martial, devastating,
destructive, and
consuming.
Derived
from Franke's concerto of
the same name, this solo
work for bass clarinet
compositionally traces
the transformative
processes initiated by
the divine fire. The solo
takes seven pieces from
the concerto, presenting
vivid character pieces
exploring the creative
possibilities and wide
tonal range offered by
the bass
clarinet.
This
version of AGNI
for bass clarinet solo
was premiered on 4
December 2020 in Leipzig
by Volker Hemken, the
principal bass
clarinetist of the
Gewandhausorchester
Leipzig. EP14437a
convinces with its
excellent and clear
notation, making the
piece a new standard for
bass clarinet.

Based on a traditional
Scottish/Irish 'farewell'
song, this short piece is
one of six works written
to express my love of
Scotland. After living
there for nearly half my
life, and raising a
family, I moved back to
England in 2018, and
remarried in 2019.
Of course, there were
many different emotions
attached to the move
south: especially the joy
and excitement of new
beginnings, and
reconnection with friends
from my youth.
But this piece
expresses the wrench I
experienced after a last
family meal in Glasgow,
and the realisation of
all I was about to leave
behind.
I have
taken the melody of the
original song, and
expanded it, exploring
the detail of its
patterns, so that it
becomes a timeless
meditation.
The
six pieces in the
'farewell' series are for
6 violas, string quintet,
string quartet, trio,
violin and clarinet duo,
and solo clarinet.
The Parting Glass
was composed in 2020
during the coronavirus
lockdown, which
intensified the feeling
of separation from my
Scottish family, as well
as from other musicians.
It was
commissioned by Vittorio
Ceccanti for the
ContempoArtEnsemble.

Maple arose
from a commission to
write a work for solo
cello, to be performed
alongside readings from
artist John Newling's
collection of letters
entitled 'Dear Nature'; a
poetic manifestation of
our relationship with the
natural world.
The
piece is in eight short
sections, to be
interspersed with
readings of groups of the
poems. It may also be
performed as a single
movement. It begins with
a seed - the seed of a
maple tree, as it hangs
on the mature tree, ready
to drop. The seeds are
like propellers,
sometimes travelling more
than a mile before
landing on the ground.
Maple follows
the growth of the tree to
maturity - which in
reality would take at
least a hundred years.
'Roots, shoots' grows
downwards and upwards
from a pedal note, and
the dance-like 'Flowers'
is followed by the
stately 'Tree', and then
the warm, cascading
'Autumn'. Maple is very
often the wood of choice
for the back of a
stringed instrument, and
the last section uses
open strings to explore
the full resonance of the
cello.
The piece
starts with a 'seed' of
only five notes, which
grows into different
configurations. It is
intended to be played in
an improvisatory
style.
Maple was
co-commissioned by
Brighton Festival, Ars et
Terra Festival with SACEM
and Ditchling Arts and
Crafts Museum, to be
performed by Margarita
Balanas as part of the
Brighton Festival's 'Dear
Nature' project.

I n 1803,
President Thomas
Jefferson sent Meriwether
Lewis and William Clarks
Corps of Discovery to
find a water route to the
Pacific and explore the
uncharted West. He
believed woolly mammoths,
erupting volcanoes, and
mountains of pure salt
awaited them. What they
found was no less
mind-boggling: some 300
species unknown to
science, nearly 50 Indian
tribes, and the Rockies.
I have been a student of
the Lewis and Clark
expedition, which Thomas
Jefferson called the
Voyage of Discovery, for
as long as I can
remember. This
astonishing journey,
lasting more than
two-and-a-half years,
began and ended in St.
Louis, Missouri and took
the travelers up more
than a few rivers in
their quest to find the
Northwest Passage to the
Pacific Ocean. In an age
without speedy
communication, this was
akin to space travel out
of radio range in our own
time: no one knew if,
indeed, the party had
even survived the voyage
for more than a year.
Most of them were
soldiers. A few were
French-Canadian voyageurs
hired trappers and
explorers, who were
fluent in French (spoken
extensively in the
region, due to earlier
explorers from France)
and in some of the Indian
languages they might
encounter. One of the
voyageurs, a man named
Pierre Cruzatte, also
happened to be a
better-than-average
fiddle player. In many
respects, the travelers
were completely on their
own for supplies and
survival, yet,
incredibly, only one of
them died during the
voyage. Jefferson had
outfitted them with food,
weapons, medicine, and
clothing and along with
other trinkets, a box of
200 jaw harps to be used
in trading with the
Indians. Their trip was
long, perilous to the
point of near
catastrophe, and arduous.
The dream of a Northwest
Passage proved ephemeral,
but the northwestern
quarter of the continent
had finally been
explored, mapped, and
described to an anxious
world. When the party
returned to St. Louis in
1806, and with the
Louisiana Purchase now
part of the United
States, they were greeted
as national heroes. I
have written a sizeable
number of works for wind
ensemble that draw their
inspiration from the
monumental spaces found
in the American West.
Four of them (Arches, The
Yellowstone Fires,
Glacier, and Zion) take
their names, and in large
part their being, from
actual national parks in
Utah, Wyoming, and
Montana. But Upriver,
although it found its
voice (and its finale) in
the magnificent Columbia
Gorge in Oregon, is about
a much larger region.
This piece, like its
brother works about the
national parks, doesnt
try to tell a story.
Instead, it captures the
flavor of a certain time,
and of a grand adventure.
Cast in one continuous
movement and lasting
close to fourteen
minutes, the piece falls
into several subsections,
each with its own
heading: The Dream (in
which Jeffersons vision
of a vast expanse of
western land is opened);
The Promise, a chorale
that re-appears several
times in the course of
the piece and represents
the seriousness of the
presidential mission; The
River; The Voyageurs; The
River II ; Death and
Disappointment; Return to
the Voyage; and The River
III . The music includes
several quoted melodies,
one of which is familiar
to everyone as the
ultimate river song, and
which becomes the
through-stream of the
work. All of the quoted
tunes were either sung by
the men on the voyage, or
played by Cruzattes
fiddle. From various
journals and diaries, we
know the men found
enjoyment and solace in
music, and almost every
night encampment had at
least a bit of music in
it. In addition to
Cruzatte, there were two
other members of the
party who played the
fiddle, and others made
do with singing, or
playing upon sticks,
bones, the ever-present
jaw harps, and boat
horns. From Lewis
journals, I found all the
tunes used in Upriver:
Shenandoah (still popular
after more than 200
years), Vla bon vent,
Soldiers Joy, Johnny Has
Gone for a Soldier, Come
Ye Sinners Poor and Needy
(a hymn sung to the tune
Beech Spring) and Fishers
Hornpipe. The work
follows an emotional
journey: not necessarily
step-by-step with the
Voyage of Discovery
heroes, but a kind of
grand arch. Beginning in
the mists of history and
myth, traversing peaks
and valleys both real and
emotional (and a solemn
funeral scene), finding
help from native people,
and recalling their zeal
upon finding the one
great river that will, in
fact, take them to the
Pacific. When the men
finally roar through the
Columbia Gorge in their
boats (a feat that even
the Indians had not
attempted), the
magnificent river
combines its theme with
the chorale of Jeffersons
Promise. The Dream is
fulfilled: not quite the
one Jefferson had
imagined (there is no
navigable water passage
from the Missouri to the
Pacific), but the dream
of a continental
destiny.

The
violin concerto is
commissioned by Friends
of Dresden Music
Foundation for American
soloist Mira Wang and the
New York Philharmonic and
Staatskapelle Dresden as
an American commemoration
of the reconstruction of
the Dresden Frauenkirche,
60 years after its
destruction in World War
II by American and
British Forces. The world
premiere is given at the
Semperoper in Dresden,
Germany, on October 9, 10
& 11, 2005, conducted
by Ivan Fischer. Full of
excitement and inner
power, the musical image
is vivid, energetic,
sometimes lyrical and
sometimes dramatic. The
major angular thematic
material (a three note
motive) consists of big
leaps in interval (a
perfect fourth downward
and then a minor seventh
upward, first introduced
by the violin solo in
measures 27-29). Except
for the cadenzas which
stand at the middle
(Rehearsal E, measure
127) and the two ends of
the piece as a frame, the
virtuosic violin solo
line is always
accompanied by the ever
moving and growing
textures in the
background. The rests
between long and short
phrases symbolize the
space in Chinese
paintings. The Beijing
Opera reciting tune, and
the fingerings to produce
sliding tones in the
performance of the
Chinese fiddle erhu are
also borrowed in the
writing and the
performing of the western
instruments. The musical
imagination of the violin
concerto came from an
ancient Chinese poem with
the same title, written
by Du Fu (712-770) in
Tang Dynasty. Happy Rain
on a Spring Night by Du
Fu (712-770 in Tang
Dynasty) Happy rain comes
in time, When spring is
in its prime. With night
breeze it will fall, And
quietly moisten all.
Clouds darken wild roads,
Light brightens a little
boat. Saturated at dawn,
With flowers blooming the
town. (English
translation by Chen Yi
from the original poem in
Chinese) The following is
the poem in its original
Chinese form, and the
detailed introduction on
the structural plan of
the violin concerto
Spring in Dresden. It's
like the welcome rain on
a quiet spring night that
nurtures the budding
seeds, our new society is
pushing us forward to the
new future. The music
reflects the scenes and
the expression according
to the meaning of the
poem when it's being
unfolded line by line.
Although the tempo is set
63 quarter notes per
minute throughout (played
vividly, never slow
down), the tension is
being built up from the
quiet background in the
beginning, to the
sustained climax towards
the end. The musical
image in Rehearsal A and
B (measures 39-80)
represents the first four
lines of the poem. The
wind instruments response
to the rustling of fast
moving notes on muted
string triplets,
decorated by occasional
strokes produced by
metallic string sound and
high woodwind gestures.
The music in Rehearsal C
and D (measures 81-126)
represents the next two
lines of the poem. It's
so dark, a little light
in the boat is shimmering
on the lake... The
breathy sound and key
slaps on the flutes
create a mysterious
atmosphere, in a dialogue
with other instruments.
The cello glissandi
recite the poem in the
tone of Mandarin, echoed
by the string harmonics.
The music in Rehearsal F,
G and H (m 129-202) is a
toccata, starting in the
orchestra (led by the
marimba), which builds up
a big shape, to reach the
climax in m. 157
(Rehearsal G, the
location of the Golden
Section, according to the
length of the music
without cadenzas), and
keeps the vivid scene
towards the coda (from
Rehearsal I, m. 203),
which stands on the
energetic peak until the
clear cutoff on measure
239, followed by the
short, yet powerful solo
conclusion with the
lingering echo produced
by the high string
harmonics. On the top,
there is a recall of the
three note motive in the
sound of wonderland,
touched by the motor-on
vibraphone meaningfully.
The music is written for
2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2
clarinets (in Bb), 2
bassoons, 4 French horns
(in F), 2 trumpets (in
Bb), 3 trombones, tuba,
harp, 3 percussion
players (Perc. 1:
xylophone; Perc. 2:
suspended cymbal,
Japanese high woodblock,
snare drum, bass drum and
vibraphone; Perc. 3:
marimba and tam-tam),
solo violin, and strings.
Duration is about 20
minutes. The violin
concerto is commissioned
by Friends of Dresden
Music Foundation for
American soloist Mira
Wang and the New York
Philharmonic and
Staatskapelle Dresden as
an American commemoration
of the reconstruction of
the Dresden Frauenkirche,
60 years after its
destruction in World War
II by American and
British Forces. The world
premiere is given at the
Semperoper in Dresden,
Germany, on October 9, 10
& 11, 2005, conducted by
Ivan Fischer.Full of
excitement and inner
power, the musical image
is vivid, energetic,
sometimeslyrical and
sometimes dramatic. The
major angular thematic
material (a three
notemotive) consists of
big leaps in interval (a
perfect fourth downward
and then a minorseventh
upward, first introduced
by the violin solo in
measures 27-29). Except
for thecadenzas which
stand at the middle
(Rehearsal E, measure
127) and the two ends of
the piece as a frame, the
virtuosic violin solo
line is always
accompanied by the ever
moving and growing
textures in the
background. The rests
between long and short
phrases symbolize the
space in Chinese
paintings. The Beijing
Opera reciting tune, and
the fingerings to produce
sliding tones in the
performance of the
Chinese fiddle erhu are
also borrowed in the
writing and the
performing of the western
instruments.The musical
imagination of the violin
concerto came from an
ancient Chinese poem with
the same title, written
by Du Fu (712-770) in
Tang Dynasty.Happy Rain

(712-770 in Tang

in time,When spring is in

is set 63 quarter notes

tension is being built up
from the quiet background
in the beginning, tothe
sustained climax towards

image in Rehearsal A and
B (measures39-80)
represents the first four
lines of the poem. The
wind instruments response
to therustling of fast
moving notes on muted
string triplets,
decorated by occasional
strokesproduced by
metallic string sound and
high woodwind gestures.
The music in RehearsalC
and D (measures 81-126)
represents the next two
lines of the poem. It's
so dark, a littlelight in
the boat is shimmering on
the lake... The breathy
sound and key slaps on

mysterious atmosphere, in
a dialogue with other
instruments. The
