When the family heirs to the legendary Galimir String Quartet (three sisters and a brother) gathered to commemorate the centenary birth years of these famed performers, they chose Ellen Taaffe Zwilich to commission for this honor. The composer, who has also worked professionally as a violinist, responded with a one-movement odyssey entitled Voyage, cross-breeding her own characteristic style with glimpses of Viennese waltzes and other Galimir flavor. There is a sweet, sad lyricism to this work, a hectic discord..., some wailing and moaning, these moods alternating with dancing klezmer rhythms of Jewish wedding music that take over and make things right in the end.

The energetic activities of three craftsmen at a local crafts market inspired the composer Christian Bouthier to write this work in three movements. The clockmaker gets many curious visitors at his stand. He patiently and proudly shows the precision work of his beautiful clocks and lets all of them tick - the small ones and large ones. The cooper (barrel-maker) skillfully puts together fine-looking, sturdy barrels of the best types of wood. From afar, you can hear the cooper hammering. In the final movement things are hectic at the blacksmith because the local horse-riding society has just arrived. Many horses are provided with new shoes. The experienced blacksmith hits thehorseshoes into the proper shape on his anvil; now the horses can spiritedly trot and gallop on the way back. A fascinating new addition to the concert band repertoire.

De energieke werkzaamheden van drie ambachtslieden op een plaatselijke ambachtsmarkt inspireerden de Belgische componist Christian Bouthier tot het schrijven van The Craftsmen, een compositie in drie delen. De klokkenmaker,de kuiper (tonnenmaker) en de hoefsmid worden achtereenvolgens op ludieke wijze in de muziek weergegeven.

Zu The Craftsmen - ‘Die Handwerker’ - ließ sich Christian Bouthier beim Bummel über einen Markt inspirieren, wo alte Handwerkskünste vorgeführt wurden. In den drei Sätzen seiner Komposition werden sehr anschaulich die Klangeindrücke in Musik umgesetzt: das Ticken nostalgischer Uhren beim Uhrmacher, das Hämmern des Böttchers beim Bau von Holzfässern und schließlich das Schlagen der Hufeisen, bevor der Hufschmied die Pferde beschlägt. Ein Werk der Reihe Flexible 5 für eine fünfstimmig variable Besetzung, an dem Musiker und Publikum ihre Freude haben werden!

Séduit par l’authenticité et le charme d’un marché artisanal, Christian Bouthier s’est inspiré du savoir-faire de trois artisans pour composer cette suite en trois mouvements. l’ombre des platanes, ils font et refont devant un public nombreux et passionné, ces gestes ancestraux qui donnent naissance tant de belles choses. Découvrez les traditions perpétuées par l’artisan horloger, le tonnelier et le maréchal-ferrant.

From: Sonne, Mond und Sterne. Composed by Peter Schindler. Carus digital: Extra digital products. Full Score. Duration 3 minutes. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.926610).

Peter Schindler's full-length secular choral work Sonne, Mond und Sterne (Sun, Moon and Stars) narrates a love story based on old texts which are given a new interpretation through these musical settings. Some individual numbers were published in spring, and now more movements with piano accompaniment are available in print and digitally.- choral work of medium difficulty- will appeal to experienced Brahms Requiem singers as well as ambitious chamber or youth choirs with a gospel, pop or jazz background-cross-over between jazz, chanson, and chamber music Peter Schindler about Was ist die Welt?A strict Allegro ben ritmato symbolises how inexorable the course of the world is. The choir chants the question about what Welt (the world) actually is. Hectic bustle is expressed through a pulsing basic motif. This is repeated constantly and moves through the parts. A lyrical B flat minor in the central section allows us to float like shadows on the way into a dream.The song text is a collage. The first verse, by the Baroque poet Christian Hoffmann von Hoffmannswaldau, is concerned with the vanitas motif: the world, and everything which seems beautiful to us, is ephemeral. The second and third verses were written in the 18th century by Johann Gottfried Herder. Here, the poet expounds the view that real life does not take place in the world and that people's mathematical abilities are insufficient to measure space and time.
