Barca rolles for a Sinking City was inspired by the city of Venice, a place that has long held the fascination of artists, writers and composers, and which I have been lucky enough to visit on several occasions. Sadly it seems that future generations may not be so lucky: in addition to the city's slow sinking and recently discovered tilting, studies predict that if global warming and the resultant rise of ocean levels is unabated, the entire city (as well as many other coastal cities around the globe) will be under water by 2100.   I. Funeral Gondola The late, cryptic piano works of Franz Liszt made a profound impression on me as a young composer, among them two works he entitled La Lugubre Gondola (usually translated as The Funeral Gondola ) which were said to be a premonition of Wagner's death in Venice, his coffin transported through the canals in a black gondola. These late pieces of Liszt acquired even greater significance to me after I spent two summers in Bayreuth under the patronage of Friedelind Wagner, the granddaughter of Wagner and great-granddaughter of Liszt. This movement is a meditation on Wagner, Liszt, Venice and its own evanescence. II. Barcarolle/Quodlibet The Quodlibet (Latin for what pleases) is a musical form dating back to the 15th century where many disparate melodies are juxtaposed. Popular in the Renaissance, sacred and secular melodies were combined, often to comical effect due to the resultant incongruity of the words. The form was considered the ultimate test of a composer's mastery of counterpoint. The most famous Quodlibet is without doubt the final Variation of Bach's Goldberg Variations. As a form the Quodlibet is less common in more recent music, although examples can be found in the works of Kurt Weill and David Del Tredici.   My own Barcarolle/Quodlibet was inspired by the (perhaps apocryphal) story of the funeral where musicians were asked to play a Bach Choral, but due to miscommunication played instead the Bacarolle from The Tales of Hoffmann. Here, the Bach Choral Allen Menschen mussen sterben (All Men Must Die) is heard in the strings pizzicato, with a tempo indication In slow motion. The alto line of the Bach suggests a phrase from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony (Alle Menchen werden Bruder) heard in the muted trombone. Before long, the famous tune from Offenbach's opera is heard, followed by quotations from iconic Barcarolles by Chopin, Mendelssohn and Faure, as well as two Venetian popular songs and more Beethoven.   III. Barcarola/Ostinato/Carill on An ostinato is a repeated musical figure, and carillon is Italian for music box. This movement references the obsolete genre of salon pieces that imitated music boxes: such works by composers like Liadov and Gretchaninov used to be a mainstay of pianists' encore repertoire. This movement is however much darker in conception than those pleasant trifles. Utilizing the full battery of percussion, the carefully notated temporal slowing of the ostinato becomes overwhelmed by a poignant chorale melody before this box is snapped shut.   IV. Barcarolle Oubliee (Forgotten Barcarolle) Marked limpido (still) the final movement begins with the sound of rain produced by a percussion instrument called (appropriately) a rain stick. Halting phrases in the harp coalesce into the accompaniment for a plangent melody heard in the clarinet. The central Adagio of this movement leads to a shattering climax, before the opening phrases return and dissipate into nothingness.

Originally written for orchestra, this Flourish was written to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the granting of a charter to the City of Bristol (UK), which shows Malcolm Arnold at his best in producing music for festive occasions.
The work starts with a resounding splash of color in the percussion over which the woodwind play an upward flourish leading to a resplendent fanfare in the brass. This idea is repeated with slight changes of color until it lead to one of his typical 'big tunes'.
These two ideas are then interchanged and after a long pedal F the full rich statement of the tune reasserts itself. The short coda is led by the percussion where the opening sound of tubular bells and glockenspiel underpin the jubilant B-flat ending.

The special occasion that Philip Sparke was honoured to write this piece for was the 200th anniversary of the Stadtmusik Bad Säckingen. Since Bad Säckingen is known as the ’Trompeterstadtâ� ��™, or trumpeter city, Sparke’s creative process was influenced by Joseph Victor Scheffel’s poem, Der Trompeter von Säckingen (The Trumpeter from Säckingen), which is based on a true story. The overture starts with a majestic fanfare, followed by a lively molto vivace. It is joined by a brilliant trumpet call in honour of the city’s famous resident.

Overt ure for a Special Occasion is geschreven in opdracht van Stadtmusik Bad Säckingen ter gelegenheid van het tweehonderdjarig bestaan van het orkest, in 2011. De première van het werk vond plaats in januari van dat jaar,onder leiding van Johannes Brenke, de dirigent van het orkest. Stadtmusik Bad Säckingen, uit de gelijknamige plaats in het zuidwesten van Duitsland, werd opgericht in 1811 en is daarmee een van de oudste blaasorkesten in de regio.Het stadje Bad Säckingen (Bad betekent badplaats) staat bekend als ‘Trompeterstadtâ� �™ en kan bogen op een trompetmuseum, dat in 1985 de deuren opende. Voormalig directeur van het museum was de bekende Amerikaanse trompettist en musicoloogEdward H. Tarr. De huidige directeur is Johannes Brenke, tevens de dirigent van het orkest. De nauwe band die het stadje heeft met de trompet dateert van halverwege de 19e eeuw, toen de schilder en schrijver Joseph Victorvon Scheffel het populaire epische gedicht Der Trompeter von Säckingen schreef. Het was gebaseerd op een waar verhaal en het gaf de naam van de plaats bekendheid over de hele wereld. Op het plein voor de kloosterkerk staateen standbeeld van Scheffel en zijn trompetspeler. Overture for a Special Occasion is feestelijk van sfeer. Het werk opent met een plechtige fanfare, die de luisteraar meevoert naar een vreugdevol molto vivace. Als verbindingtussen beide gedeelten dient een enigmatisch trompetgeschal: een eerbetoon aan de beroemdste inwoner van het stadje.

Volume 10 in the series contains works by Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Dvo ák and Schubert, arranged for cello quartet. Beethoven's Largo appassionato and the Slavonic dance by Dvo ák demand a higher level of instrumental skill. The Minuetto alla Zingarese by Haydn, the two Mozart chorales (Zwei deutsche Kir-chenlieder) and the four-cello version of Schubert's Death and the Maiden are easier to play. The first part and occasionally the second require facility in the higher positions, the lower parts are just as important and do not merely accompany the melody.

Inhoud:
1. Haydn, Joseph: Menuetto alla Zingarese
2. Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus: Zwei deutsche Kirchenlieder
3. Beethoven, Ludwig van: Largo appassionato
4. Dvoák, Anton n: Slavonic Dance
5. Schubert, Franz: Der Tod und das Mädchen

Der zehnte Band der Serie beinhaltet für Cello-Quartett transkribierte Werke von Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Dvo ák und Schubert. Der Largo appassionato von Beethoven und der Slawische Tanz Dvo áks erfordern höhere technische Kenntnisse. Das Haydn-Werk Minuetto alla Zingarese, sowie die zwei Choräle von Mozart (Zwei deutsche Kirchenlieder) und die Version des Tod und das Mädchen für vier Celli sind alle leichter zu spielen. Die erste und an manchen Stellen auch die zweite Stimme verlangen die Beherrschung höherer Lagen, mit diesen werden aber auch die tieferen Stimmen gleichgestellt, welche nicht nur eine begleitende Funktion haben.

Sommaire:1. Haydn, Joseph: Menuetto alla Zingarese

The town of Zevenhuizen (Seven Houses) in the Dutch province of Groningen conceived the idea to assemble 777 musicians for an experimental open air concert. Within that context, Jacob de Haan was commissioned to write a special composition for the local music society Concordia on the occasion of its fiftieth anniversary. The full number of musicians could not be realized entirely, but the performance was a great happening nonetheless. Now, the music has been published in a compilation, with the most appealing melodies in a varying style of rock music and ballads. The compelling closing theme of Music Xperience will linger in the minds of many listeners and players long after the concert has ended.
