In 2014, Chanticleer commissioned me to make a new arrangement of the Hungarian-Romani folk song Jarba, Mare Jarba for their 2014 touring program. Passed down orally through the Romani communities, this beautiful folk song, with text in a language called Beas (beh-osh), speaks of a deep longing to visit one's homeland, a place where the singer can never return. Chanticleer consists of twelve men whose vocal ranges span from low bass to high soprano, equivalent to the range of a mixed choir of women and men. I composed slow sections of original material to represent the singers' longing to return home; these are interspersed with the folk song's traditional fast sections. The incorporated shouts and calls in the score are typically found in the performance of Central European folk songs. I hope you enjoy singing this new version of Jarba, Mare Jarba that contains all of the vigor and excitement of the Chanticleer version. PERFORMANCE NOTES All spoken sounds (indicated by x noteheads) should be performed by individuals. Feel free to elaborate with more sounds of your own in the tradition of Eastern European folk music. If the piece is memorized, feel free to experiment with clapping on the off-beats of m. 93 to the end.

Destination Moon was first performed by Cory Band at the 2017 European Championships in Ostend, Belgium, and is inspired by the Belgian comic-book hero Tintin. The first part is called ‘Science’ and describes the development of the theory of space travel. The second part is ‘Humanity’ which addresses human concerns and philosophies about our place in the universe. The third part is ‘The Launch’ which ends with a repetition of the words ‘Earth to Moon Rocket are you receiving me?’ as the rocket vanishes into a tiny speck in the sky.

Destinatio n Moon werd voor het eerst vertolkt door de Cory Band, tijdens de Europese Brassband Kampioenschappen van 2017 in Oostende, België. Het werk is ge nspireerd op de avonturen van de Belgische stripheld Kuifje. Het eerste deel, ‘Science’, beschrijft de ontwikkeling van de theorie achter de ruimtevaart. Het tweede deel heet ‘Humanity’: het verklankt verschillende menselijke overwegingen en filosofieën rondom onze plaats in het universum; de titel van het derde deel is ‘The Launch’: dit gedeelte eindigt met een herhaling van de woorden ‘Earth to Moon Rocket are you receiving me?’ terwijl de raket verdwijnt tot hij nog slechts een stipje aan de hemel is.

Destination Moon wurde 2017 im Rahmen der 40. European Brass Band Championships in Ostende (Belgien) von der Cory Band uraufgeführt. Als Inspiration für das Stück diente der belgische Comic-Held Tintin (Tim und Struppi“). Der erste Teil, Science“, beschreibt die Entwicklung der Wissenschaftler im Bereich der Raumfahrt. Der zweite Teil, Humanity“, beschäftigt sich mit den menschlichen Gedanken und Philosophien über unseren Platz im Universum. Der dritte Teil, The Launch“, endet mit der Wiederholung der Worte Erde an Mondrakete können Sie mich hören?“, während die Mondrakete als winziger Fleck im Himmel verschwindet.

Inte rprété pour la première fois par le Cory Band aux Championnats d’Europe en 2017 Ostende, Belgique, Destination Moon s’inspire du héros belge de BD Tintin, dans Objectif Lune. La première partie au sous-titre ‘Science’ décrit la mise au point de la théorie de navigation spatiale par les scientifiques ; la deuxième partie, ‘Humanity’, aborde les inquiétudes et philosophies humaines au sujet de notre place dans l’univers ; et la troisième partie ‘The Launch’ finit par une répétition des mots ‘Earth to Moon Rocket are you receiving me ?’ tandis que la fusée disparaît dans le ciel.

Le Voyage Dans La Lune is a continuous orchestral score of approximately 14 minutes comprising two outer fast sections and a slower inner section of a dream-like character. The work is directly inspired by the film Le Voyage Dans La Lune (1902), written and directed by the pioneering French film-maker, Georges Méliès. Méliès was influenced by 19th century interests in science and discoveries, as well as the science fiction of Jules Verne. At the same time his work seems fantastic, surreal and satirical. Some critics point out an underlying critique of colonial adventuring. The plot centres on a group of astronomers who decide to launch a rocket to the moon containing a handful of their number. They reach the moon (famously landing on the moon’s face) and then encounter a strange race of aliens, whom they battle and destroy. The return to earth involves a dramatic descent, a plunge into the ocean and then celebratory dancing. The film inhabits a surreal and dream-like space, and uses an idiosyncratic visual language which transforms reality. This inspired an active musical response in my own score, which is by turns abrupt, smooth, lyrical and violent, and expresses something of the strange shifting surfaces and multiple and layered tempos evident in the film. The canons in the horns in the first scene reflect the intense arguments of the astronomers as they consider the project. The slower inner section is inspired by the scenes of the industrial City viewed from its rooftops by the astronomers. It also expresses the wonder of the astronomers as they see the earth rise from the perspective of the moon after their arrival there. The music of the final section is in places conflicted, reflecting the violent encounters with the moon’s inhabitants. It moves into a more harmonious phase at the close to match the celebrations upon the astronomers’ return from their adventuring. The music could be considered to be a surreal mini-opera without voices, voicing instead the characters of the silent screen. - Ed Hughes.

Foll owing a recent experience on the jury of a guitar competition, I noted with great pleasure that Giorgio Mirto, with whom I had shared the role of juror, wanted to celebrate the experience of the competition - during from which we discovered that we had had a great affinity of thought - with something which could endure over time and not evaporate as often happens in short and occasional meetings between musicians. He did it as a true composer, which he is, and dedicated to me a very beautifully crafted Suite to which I allowed myself to collaborate at least formally, by suggesting titles for the four movements. This is how Suite n.1 was born, a piece that does not strictly respect the formal rules of the Baroque era, but reinterprets and reuses them in a new key. The work's obvious late Baroque inspiration led me to find titles that invited the performer to delve deeper into the work's aesthetic inspiration. So I suggested to Giorgio that he title the four movements with something that linked their content to four greats of the 18th century. German masters. The prelude has thus become from Eisenach because of its sometimes improvised Bach-like atmosphere, the second movement, vaguely toccata, speaks an organ language in the manner of Buxtehude (who lived in Lübeck), the slow movement has a Handelian quality - and Handel was born in Halle - and the last movement, far from being a true Chaconne, undoubtedly has the latter's taste for variation and ostinato, typical traits of Telemann who lived in Magdeburg. The cities that appear in the titles are therefore indelible to the authors cited. Furthermore, one should not think that the style of the work is in any way German, given that Giorgio Mirto expresses himself in a very joyful language that synthesizes modality with minimalism, all seasoned with a a nod to Pink's progressive rock Floyd. or a Mike Oldfield... The result of this mixture of ideas, inspirations and styles is a work that personally I never tire of reading and rereading, for the freshness that emanates from it and for the climate expressive which rises, nourishing itself with full efficiency. We ultimately cannot ignore that the note B, the one which marks in a minor way some of the most expressive works of the guitar repertoire, from the study of Sor which made generations of students fall in love with the guitar, until to that of Frank Martin's Four Pieces via La Catedral di Barrios, is the modal fulcrum of the entire Suite: it is true that the Prelude begins with a clear chord in E minor and lingers on an open ending in A minor , but it almost seems that the initial E serves as a launching pad for a continuation of the work in which the dominant, that is to say the B, is the true musical North, the pole star which guides us in the other three movements until the end of the Chaconne de Magdebourg. I wish Giorgio and our Suite great longevity and a favorable destiny in the complex and complex world of contemporary guitar composition. And I thank him again, flattered by his very kind dedication.

FRANCE SCO BIRAGHI

Au lendemain d'une récente expérience au sein du jury d'un concours de guitare, j'ai constaté avec grand plaisir que Giorgio Mirto, avec qui j'avais partagé le rôle de juré, souhaitait célébrer l'expérience du concours - au cours de laquelle nous avons découvert que nous avions eu un grand affinité de pensée - avec quelque chose qui pourrait perdurer dans le temps et ne pas s'évaporer comme cela arrive souvent lors de rencontres courtes et occasionnelles entre musiciens. Il l'a fait en véritable compositeur, ce qu'il est, et m'a dédié une Suite d'une très belle facture à laquelle je me suis permis de collaborer au moins formellement, en suggérant des titres pour les quatre mouvements. C'est ainsi qu'est née la Suite n.1, une pièce qui ne respecte pas strictement les règles formelles de l'époque baroque, mais les réinterprèt e et les réutilise dans une nouvelle tonalité. L'inspiration évidente du baroque tardif de l'œuvre m'a amené à trouver des titres qui invitaient l'interprète à approfondir l'inspiration esthétique de l'œuvre. J'ai donc suggéré à Giorgio de titrer les quatre mouvements avec quelque chose qui reliait leur contenu à quatre grands du XVIIIe siècle. Maîtres allemands. Le prélude est ainsi devenu d'Eisenach en raison de son atmosphère parfois improvisée à la Bach, le deuxième mouvement, vaguement toccata, parle un langage d'orgue à la manière de Buxtehude (qui vivait à Lübeck), le mouvement lent a un Qualité haendélienne - et Haendel est né à Halle - et le dernier mouvement, loin d'être une véritable Chaconne, a sans doute le goût de cette dernière pour la variation et l'ostinato, traits typiques de Telemann qui vivait à Magdebourg. Les villes qui apparaissent dans les titres sont donc indélébiles aux auteurs cités. De plus, il ne faut pas penser que le style de l'œuvre soit en aucune façon allemand, étant donné que Giorgio Mirto s'exprime dans un langage très joyeux qui synthétise la modalité avec le minimalisme, le tout assaisonné d'un clin d'œil au rock progressif Floyd de Pink. ou un Mike Oldfield... Le résultat de ce mélange d'idées, d'inspirations et de styles est un ouvrage que personnellement je ne me lasse pas de lire et de relire, pour la fraîcheur qui s'en dégage et pour le climat expressif qui monte, se nourrissant de plein efficacité. On ne peut finalement pas ignorer que la note B, celle qui marque de manière mineure certaines des œuvres les plus expressives du répertoire de guitare, depuis l'étude de Sor qui a fait tomber amoureux de la guitare des générations d'étudiants, jusqu'à celle de Frank Martin Quatre Pièces via La Catedral di Barrios, est le point d'appui modal de toute la Suite : il est vrai que le Prélude commence par un accord clair en mi mineur et s'attarde sur une fin ouverte en la mineur, mais il semble presque que le mi initial sert de une rampe de lancement pour une suite de l'œuvre dans laquelle la dominante, c'est-à-dire le B, est le véritable Nord musical, l'étoile polaire qui nous guide dans les trois autres mouvements jusqu'à la fin de la Chaconne de Magdebourg. Je souhaite à Giorgio et à « notre » Suite une grande longévité et un destin favorable dans le monde complexe et complexe de la composition contemporaine pour guitare. Et je le remercie encore, flatté de son très aimable dévouement.

The Way to Heaven was commissioned by the Royal Air Force Music Services. 2015 was the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, which took place between July and October 1940, when the courageous fighter pilots of the Royal Air Forcethwarted Hitler’s ambitions to launch an invasion on the UK.
The Way to Heaven opens with fluttering woodwind figures and brass fanfares, which build to a climax before a change of key introduces a short quotation for the Polish National Anthem - Mazurek Dbrowskiego. This fades and you can hear thesignal to scramble and the throaty sounds of the squadron’s Merlin engines bursting into life before they line up to take off. This leads to the main thematic material of the work, which depicts the heaven-bound flight of 303 Squadron as it climbs tointercept the incoming Messerschmitt 109s. A brief allusion to the Polish national anthem brings the piece to a triumphant close.

The Way to Heaven is geschreven in opdracht van de Britse Royal Air Force Music Services. In 2015 was het 75 jaar geleden dat de Slag om Engeland plaatsvond, tussen juli en oktober 1940, toen de moedige gevechtspiloten van de Royal Air Forcede ambities van Hitler om het Verenigd Koninkrijk tot capitulatie te dwingen wisten te dwarsbomen.
The Way to Heaven opent met ‘dwarrelende� � motieven in het hout en koperfanfares, die worden opgebouwd tot een climax voordat een modulatie een kort citaat van het Poolse volkslied Mazurek Dbrowskiego introduceert. Dit sterft weg endan horen we het alarmsignaal voor het opstijgen van de vliegtuigen, en het schorre geluid van de Merlin-motoren voordat de gevechtstoestellen de lucht in gaan. Dit leidt tot het belangrijkste thematische materiaal van het werk, dat de ‘vlucht naarde hemel’ van het 303 Squadron beschrijft tijdens de klim omhoog met als doel het onderscheppen van de Duitse Messerschmitts Bf 109. Een toespeling op het Poolse volkslied brengt het werk naar zijn triomfantelijke slot.

The Way to Heaven wurde von den Royal Air Force Music Services in Auftrag gegeben. 2015 jährte sich die Luftschlacht um England, die von Juli bis Oktober 1940 stattgefunden hat, zum 75. Mal. Die mutigen Jagdflieger der Royal Air Force hattenHitlers Ambitionen einer Invasion Englands verhindert.
The Way to Heaven beginnt mit einer unruhigen Figur in den Holzbläsern und mit Blechbläser-Fanfaren, die sich zu einem Höhepunkt aufbauen, bevor ein Tonartwechsel einen kurzen Verweis auf die polnische Nationalhymne Mazurek Dbrowskiego“ einleitet. Dies verklingt langsam und man hört das Signal zum Kampf und das Dröhnen der Merlin-Triebwerke der Staffeln, die vor dem Start zum Leben erwachen und sich aufstellen. Dies führt zum Hauptthema des Werkes, das den Flug in den Himmel vonStaffel 303 beschreibt, um die herankommenden Messerschmidt 109 abzufangen. Es klingt nochmals kurz die polnische Nationalhymne an, bevor das Stück mit einem triumphalen Schluss endet.

The Way to Heaven est une commande des services de musique de la Royal Air Force. 2015 a marqué le 75e anniversaire de la Bataille d’Angleterre qui eut lieu de juillet octobre 1940, et durant laquelle les courageux pilotes de chasse de laRoyal Air Force entravèrent les ambitions d’Hitler d’envahir le Royaume-Uni.
The Way to Heaven commence par des motifs tremblants pour bois et des fanfares de cuivres qui se développent vers une apogée ; ensuite une modulation introduit une courte citation de l’hymne national polonais, Mazurek Dbrowskiego. Alorsque ces idées s’affaiblissent, on entend le signal pour décoller en urgence, puis le son rauque des moteurs Merlin de l’escadron mis en marche, avant que les avions ne s’alignent pour décoller. Ceci mène au matériel thématique principal de l’œuvrequi dépeint le vol vers le ciel de l’escadron 303 alors qu’il monte pour intercepter les Messerschmitt 109 entrants. Une brève allusion l’hymne national polonais mène la fin triomphante de l’œuvre.

The Way to Heaven opens with fluttering woodwind figures and brass fanfares, which build to a climax before a change of key introduces a short quotation for the Polish National Anthem - Mazurek Dbrowskiego. This fades and you can hear thesignal to scramble and the throaty sounds of the squadron’s Merlin engines bursting into life before they line up to take off. This leads to the main thematic material of the work, which depicts the heaven-bound flight of 303 Squadron as it climbs tointercept the incoming Messerschmitt 109s. A brief allusion to the Polish national anthem brings the piece to a triumphant close.

The Way to Heaven<+O> is geschreven in opdracht van de Britse Royal Air Force Music Services. In 2015 was het 75 jaar geleden dat de Slag om Engeland plaatsvond, tussen juli en oktober 1940, toen de moedige gevechtspiloten van de Royal Air Forcede ambities van Hitler om het Verenigd Koninkrijk tot capitulatie te dwingen wisten te dwarsbomen.
The Way to Heaven opent met ‘dwarrelende� � motieven in het hout en koperfanfares, die worden opgebouwd tot een climax voordat een modulatie een kort citaat van het Poolse volkslied Mazurek Dbrowskiego introduceert. Dit sterft weg endan horen we het alarmsignaal voor het opstijgen van de vliegtuigen, en het schorre geluid van de Merlin-motoren voordat de gevechtstoestellen de lucht in gaan. Dit leidt tot het belangrijkste thematische materiaal van het werk, dat de ‘vlucht naarde hemel’ van het 303 Squadron beschrijft tijdens de klim omhoog met als doel het onderscheppen van de Duitse Messerschmitts Bf 109. Een toespeling op het Poolse volkslied brengt het werk naar zijn triomfantelijke slot.

The Way to Heaven wurde von den Royal Air Force Music Services in Auftrag gegeben. 2015 jährte sich die Luftschlacht um England, die von Juli bis Oktober 1940 stattgefunden hat, zum 75. Mal. Die mutigen Jagdflieger der Royal Air Force hattenHitlers Ambitionen einer Invasion Englands verhindert.
The Way to Heaven beginnt mit einer unruhigen Figur in den Holzbläsern und mit Blechbläser-Fanfaren, die sich zu einem Höhepunkt aufbauen, bevor ein Tonartwechsel einen kurzen Verweis auf die polnische Nationalhymne Mazurek Dbrowskiego“ einleitet. Dies verklingt langsam und man hört das Signal zum Kampf und das Dröhnen der Merlin-Triebwerke der Staffeln, die vor dem Start zum Leben erwachen und sich aufstellen. Dies führt zum Hauptthema des Werkes, das den Flug in den Himmel vonStaffel 303 beschreibt um die herankommenden Messerschmidt 109 abzufangen. Es klingt nochmals kurz die polnische Nationalhymne an, bevor das Stück mit einem triumphalen Schluss endet.

The Way to Heaven est une commande des services de musique de la Royal Air Force. 2015 a marqué le 75e anniversaire de la Bataille d’Angleterre qui eut lieu de juillet octobre 1940, et durant laquelle les courageux pilotes de chasse de laRoyal Air Force entravèrent les ambitions d’Hitler d’envahir le Royaume-Uni.
The Way to Heaven commence par des motifs tremblants pour bois et des fanfares de cuivres qui se développent vers une apogée ; ensuite une modulation introduit une courte citation de l’hymne national polonais, Mazurek Dbrowskiego. Alorsque ces idées s’affaiblissent, on entend le signal pour décoller en urgence, puis le son rauque des moteurs Merlin de l’escadron mis en marche, avant que les avions ne s’alignent pour décoller. Ceci mène au matériel thématique principal de l’œuvrequi dépeint le vol vers le ciel de l’escadron 303 alors qu’il monte pour intercepter les Messerschmitt 109 entrants. Une brève allusion l’hymne national polonais mène la fin triomphante de l’œuvre.

At the end of 1944, Allied troops invaded the Netherlands from Belgium. Hope and longing for freedom, which now seemed so close, swept through the Netherlands: Operation Market Garden was launched. Huge numbers of paratroopers made the dangerous jump to take over enemy territory on the south side of the Rhine. Fierce fighting and attempts to cross and secure the river resulted in heavy casualties for the liberating forces. Ground support from the south came too late and there was no alternative but to call off Operation Market Garden. What looked like a quick liberation of the Netherlands turned into a long, bitter struggle. To make matters worse, a harsh winter followed: hunger and cold ate away at hope and the prospect of a liberated Netherlands. The composition 1944 uses original radio fragments from 1944 to describe these events.

Eind 1944 vielen geallieerde troepen vanuit België Nederland binnen. Hoop en verlangen naar vrijheid, die nu zo dichtbij leek, golfden door Nederland: Operatie Market Garden werd gelanceerd. Enorme aantallen parachutisten maakten de gevaarlijke sprong om vijandelijk gebied aan de zuidkant van de Rijn in te nemen. Hevige gevechten en pogingen om de rivier over te steken en veilig te stellen resulteerden in zware verliezen voor de bevrijdende troepen. Grondsteun vanuit het zuiden kwam te laat en er was geen alternatief dan Operatie Market Garden af te blazen. Wat leek op een snelle bevrijding van Nederland veranderde in een lange, bittere strijd. Tot overmaat van ramp volgde er een strenge winter: honger en kou vrat de hoop en het vooruitzicht op een bevrijd Nederland weg. De compositie 1944 gebruikt originele radiofragmenten uit 1944 om deze gebeurtenissen te beschrijven.<<

Fin 1944, les troupes alliées envahissent les Pays-Bas à partir de la Belgique. L'espoir et la nostalgie de la liberté, qui semble désormais si proche, envahissent les Pays-Bas : L'opération Market Garden est lancée. D'innombrables parachutistes font le dangereux saut pour s'emparer du territoire ennemi sur la rive sud du Rhin. Les combats acharnés et les tentatives pour traverser et sécuriser le fleuve se soldent par de lourdes pertes pour les forces libératrices. Le soutien terrestre en provenance du sud arrive trop tard et il n'y a pas d'autre choix que d'annuler l'opération Market Garden. Ce qui s'annonçait comme une libération rapide des Pays-Bas s'est transformé en une lutte longue et acharnée. Pour ne rien arranger, un hiver rigoureux a suivi : la faim et le froid ont rongé l'espoir et la perspective d'une libération des Pays-Bas. La composition 1944 utilise des fragments radiophoniques originaux de 1944 pour décrire ces événements.

Ende 1944 marschierten die alliierten Truppen von Belgien aus in die Niederlande ein. Die Hoffnung und die Sehnsucht nach der Freiheit, die nun so nah zu sein schien, überkam die Niederlande: Die Operation Market Garden wurde gestartet. Zahlreiche Fallschirmjäger wagen den gefährlichen Absprung, um das feindliche Gebiet auf der Südseite des Rheins zu erobern. Heftige Kämpfe und Versuche, den Fluss zu überqueren und zu sichern, forderten schwere Verluste für die Befreiungstruppen. Die Bodenunterstützung aus dem Süden kam zu spät und es gab keine andere Möglichkeit, als die Operation Market Garden abzubrechen. Was nach einer schnellen Befreiung der Niederlande aussah, wurde zu einem langen, erbitterten Kampf. Zu allem Überfluss folgte ein harter Winter: Hunger und Kälte zehrten an der Hoffnung und der Aussicht auf befreite Niederlande. In der Komposition 1944 werden diese Ereignisse anhand von Original-Funkfragmenten aus dem Jahr 1944 beschrieben.
