THE
BONES OF MR. FORTUNE
(FREE AT LAST!) is an
11-minute concerto-like
work for solo flute
accompanied by symphonic
winds and percussion
– perfect to play
with band or with
orchestra, as well as
with the
composer’s own
piano reduction. The work
features lengthy
cadenzas, and
exhilarating dance-like
sections with the
ensemble. Hailstork
describes the historical
inspiration: Abused in
life and death, an
enslaved man (Mr.
Fortune) was owned by a
surgeon who preserved his
skeleton to study
anatomy. The bones
remained with the
doctor’s family
for generations, and were
given a proper burial
making national news in
2013, 215 years after Mr.
Fortune’s
death. Abused in life
and death, an enslaved
man known as Mr. Fortune
was honored with an
elaborate funeral more
than 200 years after he
died in Connecticut.Mr.
Fortune was owned by Dr.
Preserved Porter on a
farm in Waterbury,
Connecticut. When Fortune
died in 1798, Porter, a
bone surgeon, preserved
his skeleton by having
the bones boiled to study
anatomy at a time when
cadavers for medical
study were
disproportionately taken
from slaves, servants and
prisoners.One of
Porter’s
descendants gave the
skeleton in 1933 to
Mattatuck Museum in
Waterbury, where it was
displayed from the 1940s
until 1970. The
descendant referred to
the slave as
“Larry†and
his name was forgotten at
the time.A study by
forensic anthropologists
at the Quinnipiac
University School of
Medicine concluded that
Fortune was about 5 feet
5 inches tall and died at
around 55 years old. He
suffered a number of
painful ailments,
including a fracture in
his left hand, a severe
ankle sprain and lower
back pain. “He was
an individual who was in
considerable
distress,†a
forensic professor,
Richard Gonzalez said.I
was taken by the bizarre
story of Mr. Fortune and
decided to use it as the
stimulus for this
work.

The
awardee of two Guggenheim
fellowships, Julia Perry
studied composition with
Luigi Dallapiccola and
Nadia Boulanger, and
conducted her works on a
tour throughout Europe
with the Vienna
Philharmonic and the BBC
Orchestra. She would
become one of the first
African-American female
composers to have an
orchestral work performed
by the New York
Philharmonic. Although
she had an auspicious and
promising career in her
early life, it was
tragically cut short by a
series of strokes leading
to partial paralysis and
eventually, her death, at
age 55 in
1979.Perry’s
catalog is widely varied,
featuring thirteen
symphonies, numerous
chamber and solo works,
pieces for band, choral
and vocal music, and four
operas. Her Violin
Concerto, completed in
1968, shows the influence
of Dallapiccola’s
teachings: sharp harmonic
dissonances organized
around specific pitch
centers, short repetitive
patterns that establish
significant musical
materials, and
contrapuntal textures.
Her fastidious
performance markings in
the solo violin part
indicate her profound
understanding of the
instrument. Angular,
muscled, and sparkling by
turns, this piece is a
sophisticated entry to
the serious violinist's
concert repertoire.There
is no evidence or
documentation that the
Violin Concerto was ever
premiered or performed
during her lifetime,
despite the fact that the
composer prepared a full
score, piano reduction
and orchestral parts.
Regrettably, this is the
case with the majority of
her works composed in the
final decade of her
life. What is
extraordinary about Julia
Perry’s musical
career was the
astonishing success she
attained in her early
years. In her youth she
studied piano, voice,
violin and cello. She
began to compose in her
teenage years, her first
publication being a
choral work in 1947 by
Carl Fischer. Her Stabat
Mater was published in
1951 and would become one
of her most often
performed pieces, with
performances in Europe
and the United States. In
1953 she was awarded a
Guggenheim fellowship to
study with the Italian
composer Luigi
Dallapiccola, first at
the Berkshire Music
Center in Tanglewood,
later in Florence, Italy.
During this time, she
also pursued studies with
Nadia Boulanger in Paris
and was awarded a second
Guggenheim fellowship.
She studied conducting at
this time, touring Europe
in 1957 to conduct her
own works with the Vienna
Philharmonic and the BBC
Orchestra. During her
European sojourns, she
learned and mastered
French, German and
Italian. She would become
one of the first
African-American female
composers to have an
orchestral work performed
by the New York
Philharmonic.Perryâ€
s circumstances would
change dramatically once
she reached forty years
of age, having returned
permanently to the United
States. At some point in
the spring of 1970, she
suffered the first of two
strokes that would
paralyze her right side
and confine her to a
wheelchair for the rest
of her life. Nonetheless,
she continued to compose
and to promote her works
with publishers and
conductors. A second
stroke contributed to her
death in 1979 at age 55.
She likely endured harsh
ethnic and gender
discrimination in the
course of her career, and
her later years would
witness a period of
extreme civil unrest.
These matters and the
significance of music in
her life are undoubtedly
what led her to say,
“Music has a great
role to play in
establishing the
brotherhood of
man.â€Perry’s
catalog is widely varied,
featuring thirteen
symphonies, numerous
chamber and solo works,
pieces for band, choral
and vocal music, and four
operas. Her Violin
Concerto, completed in
1968, is indicative of
the influence of
Dallapiccola’s
teachings: sharp harmonic
dissonances organized
around specific pitch
centers, short repetitive
patterns that establish
significant musical
materials, and
contrapuntal textures.
The work is a single
movement of 392 measures
organized around three
alternating tempos: Slow
(Å’ = 60), Moderate
(Å’ = 84) and Fast
(Å’ = 120). The
opening thirty-measure
cadenza for the solo
violin introduces most of
the thematic material for
the piece. The
orchestration commonly
features antiphonal
writing between
orchestral groups, for
example, strings
alternating with brass,
or strings alternating
with winds. The harp and
piano generally appear as
solo instruments, rather
than as members of the
orchestra. Her fastidious
performance markings in
the solo violin part
indicate her profound
understanding of the
instrument.There is no
evidence or documentation
that the Violin Concerto
was ever premiered or
performed during her
lifetime, despite the
fact that the composer
prepared a full score,
piano reduction and
orchestral parts.
Regrettably, this is the
case with the majority of
her works composed in the
final decade of her
life.

The composition
the Lonesome Knight was
based on a fairytale. The
piece was written by
Saskia Apon for the
National Brass Band
Championships
2001.
Once upon a
time there was a knight
who went to fight and
defeat the dragon that
had beenkilling the
people of his town.
There is a short but
intense battle between
the two and the knight is
triumphant. However
whilst persuing the
dragon the knight has
travelled far away from
his home and now is lost.
He roames around trying
to findhis way home, but
exhausted and weary he
falls to the ground. He
awakens startled by a
Giant and a group of
Goblins who are
celebrating the death of
the dragon. The
knight joins in the
festivities but after a
long evening is once more
leftalone. The sun
rises the following
morning and he sees a
castle on the horizon. He
enthousiastcally ventures
towards the castle in the
hope of meeting other
people. However he
becomes greatly
disillusioned when there
is none to be found.
Inhis desperation the
knight climbs the tower
ready to jump off.
Suddenly he hears a
heavenly voice. Right
before him is the most
beautiful princess he has
ever seen. She graciously
thanks him for killing
the dragon, a spark
ingnites between themand
they build a life
together and.... live
happily ever
after!

On the
occasion of the
quincentenary of
Reformation Day in 2017,
the composer Enjott
Schneider thoroughly
studied Martin Luther the
individual and all his
contradictions. The
result is a brilliant,
demanding organ symphony
which is perfect for
concerts on the subject
of Reformation and Martin
Luther.The composer
describes the five
movements of the symphony
as follows:'1st
movement:Wir glauben all
an einen Gott with its
quintuplet-like beginning
is very Gregorian in
style, outlining the
range of Lutheran
emotionalism between the
Middle Ages and the
modern era. The
irrationality of faith
ultimately has priority
over any thought and
evidence. At the
beginning of the
movement, sounds of
knocking on wood remind
of the nailing of the
Ninety-Five Theses to the
doors of churches in
Wittenberg. The chorale
melody sometimes hides
with an almost rough
medieval saltarello,
referring to Luther's
robustness and vitality
with which he knew to
carry away even common
people.2nd movement:In
1530, the electoral
prince of Saxony
presented to Luther at
Coburg Castle the golden
signet ring with the
Luther rose which became
the symbol of his
theology of grace. A
white heart with black
cross is fixed on a
five-petalled rose. To
him, white is the colour
of angels and ghosts,
black stands for the pain
of crucification: The
just shall live by faith,
but by faith in the
Crucified. But the fact
that the rose and the
heart are the dominating
symbols shows how
Catholic Marian piety
remained an ingredient of
Luther's spirituality
throughout his life. In
line with the dominant
five-petal structure of
the rose, this movement
was composed, to a large
extent, in accordance
with the floating,
lyrical rhythm in 5/8
time.3rd movement:The
omnipresence of death and
dying - from the plague
and war to the
never-ending dangers of
daily life - was an
essential part of the
world view of that time.
Fears ensued that might
heighten into the
grotesque, e.g. in the
pictures of Hieronymus
Bosch. The Danse macabre
was a popular motif in
those years. Luther's
chorale Mitten wir im
Leben sind / mit dem Tod
umfangen from 1524
(Enchiridion from Erfurt)
is based on the Gregorian
chant Media vita in morte
sumus created in France
around 750 and, with its
idea of transience,
inspired a simplistic
air.4th movement:The
famous confession
delivered at the Diet of
Worms in 1521, I stand
here and can say no more.
God help me. Amen, are
not Luther's words but
the version later used as
text for a pamphlet.
However, it represents
quite plainly the
straightforwardness and
inevitability of his
mission. Musically, it
was made into a perpetuum
mobile, i.e. a dogged,
ostinato and never-ending
musical air.5th
movement:The Mighty
Fortress, on the other
hand, is one of the great
symbols of Martin Luther
which, with its shining C
major key, embodies the
Protestant ideology and
willful nature of the
Reformation unlike any
other song. Heinrich
Heine called it the
Marseille anthem of the
Reformation, Friedrich
Engels the Marseillaise
of the Peasants' Wars.
This disputability is not
thought through to the
end but rather
interrupted: With a
jubilant birdcall version
of the melody, the finale
shows a rather
chamber-music-like side
of the ideals of freedom
of Christians.'.

Commissione
d by the Kolner
Philharmonie (KolnMusik)
for the non bthvn projekt
2020 and the Cite de la
musique / Philharmonie de
Paris Dedicated to
Arditti Quartet Each
movement of this quartet
explores a single state,
its lights and its
shadows. Each movement,
you could say, is a
moment . And these
moments could last for
more or less time without
compromising their
essential nature. The
processes could be
extended or compressed,
repeated or reversed, but
the core ideas - if they
are ideas, but maybe they
are simply experiences? -
are what they are.
Despite this, the precise
sequence of movements
matters a great deal.
Heard together they do
articulate some kind of
linear narrative, maybe
even a metaphorical
journey (albeit a
circular one where the
arrival might, who knows,
prove to be a new
departure). One situation
gives way to another and
instrumental
relationships within the
quartet vary, but
ultimately the
imaginative impulse
behind the piece
preferences states of
unity. Whether or not
this unity is expressed
texturally - sometimes
literal unisons pervade,
but not always - there is
generally a sense that
even seemingly diverse
aspects relate to a
fundamental condition of
concord: a conscious
limitation in the pitch
structure to spectral
emanations of the root
notes E-flat and C. At
the opening this is
unambiguously audible in
the perpetual alternation
of these two notes in the
low cello register. Later
the two spectra are woven
into a micro-tonal
'double-spectral-mode'
(derived from the first
24 partials of the C and
E-flat fundamentals),
which defines the subtle
melodic inflection of the
second movement, and the
never-quite-chromatic
ascending scales of the
third. For now this feels
like a rich source of
melodic possibility, so
far only just glimpsed...
And why the insistence on
E-flat? Probably by way
of historical anecdote.
Apparently Karl Holz (a
member of the
Schuppanzigh Quartet)
said to Beethoven: We
performed your Quartet in
E-flat Op. 127 in his
[Weber's] honour; he
found the Adagio too
long; but I told him:
Beethoven also has a
longer feeling and a
longer imagination than
anyone standing or not
standing today. - Since
then, even Linke (another
member of the quartet)
can no longer stand him:
we cannot forgive him for
this. Listening again to
Op. 127, in light of
these comments, I was
struck by the opening
moment: the unfolding of
an E-flat 7th chord over
the course of a few bars.
Every time I hear it I
find myself wishing that
Beethoven would have
lingered longer there,
without resolution or
progression, just
enjoying that sonority.
And maybe - why not? -
tune the 7th naturally.
And what would it be to
stretch that moment into
an entire piece? What
would Weber think of
that?! In the end I was
not so extreme in my
self-limitation, and
other concerns took over,
but it was from these
thoughts that the
composition process
began... Lastly, about
the title: it comes from
a book called 'The Clock
of the Long Now' by
Stewart Brand, published
at the turn of the
millennium. It's about
the creation of a
thousand-year clock to
embody the aspiration to
thinking in terms of
longer time-spans than
are presently habitual.
If the music of Beethoven
embodied a 'longer'
feeling and imagination
than some of his
contemporaries were able
to appreciate, what is
our relation to time now?
Longer or shorter? Maybe
it depends who you ask...
It's probably more
extreme in both
directions: attention
spans might be
diminishing in the
digital world, but
conversely there is an
awareness of distant
pasts and potential
futures which would have
been inconceivable at the
time of Beethoven. In any
case, the interesting
thing is to ponder how
societal conditions,
assumptions and
expectations might -
whether consciously or
unconsciously - influence
the time of art, for
listeners and creators
alike. And what if time
is running out?

This
composition is based on
the life of the German
cavalry general Hans
Michael Elias von
Obentraut (1574-1625),
who was known for his
nerve, loyalty and
courage. The figure Van
Obentraut is closely
connected to the town of
Seelze, where he died a
heroic death and where a
monument was erected in
his honor. The work
consists of four
movements in which
various aspects of this
historical figure are
featured. What is extra
special about this work
is the fact that its firs
movement (Hymn for a
Hero) had been made
available as an easy
version for flexible
band. This makes it
possible for a youth of
beginner band to play
along with a band of
adults or advanced
players. This hymn can
also be played as a
separate piece.

Lament for
Trombone and Organ by
composer Jeremy Niles
Kempton is a serious and
lyrical work of about 6
minutes in length for
advanced
performers.
The
original version is for
trombone and string
orchestra. It was
composed and performed
within a 2 week period at
a memorial concert given
for Helen Manheim, a
violist in Mr. Kempton's
Island Chamber Symphony
on Long Island, NY. Ms
Manheim died rather
suddenly and her passing
left the composer with a
deep feeling of regret at
having taken her and so
many other ICS musicians
for granted.
The
piece consists of 3
lengthy phrases. The
first epitomizes the
grief at her passing. The
2nd presents her life and
consists of 3 phrases,
all starting the same but
each striving higher. The
final section is her
legacy, what she leaves
behind. Orchestral score
and parts are available
form Cherry
Classics.
The
live performance features
Mr. Kempton on the
trombone.

This work is
based on the biblical
story of the martyrdom of
Saint Stephen,
traditionally regarded as
the first Christian
martyr, asrecounted in
the Acts of the Apostles.
Stephen was a member of
the early Church in
Jerusalem. He was an
inspired and charismatic
preacher, but he aroused
great hostility among the
members of the various
synagogues by his
teachings, and he was
accused of blasphemy. At
his trial he looked up to
heaven and declared that
he saw God in his Glory,
with Jesus standing at
his right hand. This so
enraged the authorities
that he was flung from
the city and stoned to
death. As he died, he
prayed that the Lord
Jesus would receive his
spirit, and that his
killers would beforgiven.
In this setting the choir
recounts the story in
Latin, whilst the solo
horn music depicts the
violence of the stoning.
The work endswith a
quotation from Chopin's
Ballade No. 2 in F, Op.
38. Commissioned by the
Metropolitan and
Cathedral Chapter of St.
Stephen's Cathedral,
Vienna. First performed
on 16th March 2015 at St
Stephen's Cathedral,
Vienna, by the Cathedral
Choir conducted by Markus
Landerer.
