Frank J. Oteri (NewMusicBox) reviews the recent Bridge recording Paul Lansky: Imaginary Islands, writing in depth of the composer's reputation for electronic music. The three works included on the album are, however, written expressly for carbon-based life forms, according to Lansky, and represent a dramatic departure. They are his very first compositions for orchestra, despite sounding like they were written by someone who has had a lifetime of experience taming this behemoth ensemble! While the title Imaginary Islands may evoke a specific mental imagery, Oteri reminds us, Most people associate the word island with isolation and tranquility, but it’s important to remember that Manhattan, Montreal, Hong Kong, and Singapore are also all islands. While Lansky’s second island offers opportunities for reflective contemplation, his first and especially his third are sprawling urban soundscapes that offer many reasons for numerous return trips. Duration: 21'.

The hot tropical climate of the Caribbean makes these islands a wonderful place to be. The population is of largely African ancestry, together with people of European and Amerindian origin. The community is proud of the local Creole culture that gave rise to a musical style characteristic of these wonderful islands.This small Caribbean Cocktail includes three different dances:- A traditional calypso with vibrant rhythms driving a typically Caribbean melody;- A quieter beguine, featuring warmer and tranquil sounds;- A merengue with a strong sense of exuberance and joie de vivre is easy to hear.This popular composition captures in music the feelings of a communitywhere life’s joys are all-important. Caribbean Cocktail is a light-hearted piece that is ideally suited to youth bancs and ensembles with an incomplete or imbalanced instrumentation.

Op de eilanden in het Caribisch gebied heerst een aangenaam warm, tropisch klimaat. De meeste bewoners zijn er van Afrikaanse afkomst, maar er wonen ook mensen van Europese en indiaanse origine. De gemeenschap is trots op haar creoolse cultuur, waaruit een muziekstijl is voortgekomen die typerend is voor deze prachtige eilanden.Caribbean Cocktail omvat drie verschillende dansen:- een traditionele calypso met levendige ritmes en een typisch Caribische melodie;- een rustige beguine waarin warmere en serenere klanken naar voren komen;- een merengue in een uitbundige sfeer en met een grote joi de vivre.Deze temperamentvolle compositie weerspiegelt het muzikale gevoelvan een gemeenschap waarin men veel belang hecht aan een vreugdevol, ongecompliceerd leven. Caribbean Cocktail is een luchthartig werk dat ideaal is voor jeugdorkesten en -ensembles met een onvolledige of onevenwichtige bezetting.

Die Karibik ist eine vom heißen Tropenklima verwöhnte Inselkette. Die Einwohner sind schwarzafrikanischer Herkunft, mehr oder weniger gemischt mit Europäern und amerikanischen Ureinwohnern. Diese Gemeinschaft ist stolz auf ihre kreolische Kultur, aus der ein charakteristischer und auf diesen wunderbaren Inseln einzigartiger Musikstil entstanden ist.Dieser kleine Karibische Cocktail“ umfasst drei unterschiedliche Tänze:- einen traditionellen Calypso mit pulsierenden Rhythmen, die eine typisch karibische Melodie vorantreiben;- eine ruhigere Beguine mit wärmeren, ruhigeren Klängen;- ein Merengue, in dem eine überschwängliche Atmosphäre und Lebensfreude vorherrschen.Dieseunterha ltsame Komposition bringt musikalisch die Gefühle einer Gemeinschaft zum Ausdruck, in der Lebensfreude und Gelassenheit ganz hoch angesiedelt sind. Caribbean Cocktail ist ein unbeschwertes Stück, das sich ideal für Jugendblasorchester und Ensembles mit unvollständiger oder unausgewogener Besetzung eignet.

Les Cara bes sont un ensemble d’îles où le chaud climat tropical est agréable. La population est d’origine noire africaine plus ou moins métissée d’Européens et d’Améridiens. Cette communauté se revendique d’une culture créole qui met en évidence une musique propre cette magnifique région.Ce petit Caribbean Cocktail se compose de 3 danses distinctes :- Un Calypso traditionnel dont les rythmes chaleureux soutiennent une mélodie typiquement antillaise.- Une Beguine plus calme aux sonorités plus chaudes et sereines.- Un Merengue où l’enthousiasme et la joie de vivre sont les éléments mis en évidence.Cette composition populaire exprime les sentiments musicaux d’une population où lajoie de vivre dans la sérénité est primordiale.

Pacific Dreams describes the experience of Miguel, a traveling composer from Spain who, feeling somewhat alienated from his homeland, is wandering through an area of Sydney known as The Rocks. At a small outdoor market in a typical street of this oldcolonial neighbourhood, he discovers a print of William DeShazos painting Pacific Dreams Portrayed in the painting is the surf of one of the exotic islands in the Pacific. Next, with the impressive Sydney Harbour Bridge looming over the narrowstreets of The Rocks, he envisions sultry Pacific beaches. Suddenly a theme he once composed about the lakes in Japan comes to him. Is it the Asian influences present in cosmopolitan Sydney that bring this theme to mind? Or perhaps the waters aroundSydney, over which he could sail to Tahiti? He is uncertain. Could this same theme be used to create a new composition about his feelings for the metropolis Sydney? How then to work his Pacific Dreams into the mix? Miguel is certainly no fan ofHawaiian music. Mayby he could use the vocabularies of islands like Hawaii and Tahiti, their beautiful vowel combinations being sung ad libitum by a mixed choir.With these ideas and his newly purchased print of Pacific Dreams, he boards the Metroat Circular Quay. He has a final glimpse of the harbour and the Sydney Opera House as the train races into the ground. On to the hotel! To work! He must compose!Maestoso : Miguel is impressed as he gazes upon the Sydney Harbour Bridge. And yet, hewants to go away from this city. Away, to an exotic island in the Pacific.Steady Rock : In the Rocks, musicians are playing at a square. Miguel basks in the atmosphere but at the same time he is fantasizing about Hawaii and Tahiti.Andante Lamentoso :In his hotel room, Miguel is feeling sad and lonely in this big city. He takes comfort in his Pacific Dreams.Allegro : Miguel boards the boat that takes him from Darling Harbour to Circular Quay. In his mind he is traveling on to Hawaii. Or is ithome, where the bolero is playing? He is pulled back to reality by the skyline of Sydney.

Wir schlüpfen in die Haut von Miguel und reisen mit ihm nach Australien. Einigermaßen entfremdet von seiner spanischen Heimat schlendert er durch das Viertel The Rocks in Sydney. Auf einem kleinen Markt entdeckt er einen Druck des Gemäldes Pacific Dreams von William DeShazo. Das Bild stellt die Meeresbrandung auf einer exotischen Insel im Pazifik dar. Während die eindrucksvolle Harbour Bridge von Sidney vor ihm auftaucht, ist er in Gedanken bei den heißen Stränden im Stillen Ozean. Auf einmal kommt ihm das Thema in den Sinn, das er einst über die Gewässer Japans komponiert hatte. Liegt es an den asiatischen Einflüssen, die im kosmopolitischen Sydney so vielfältig vertretensind? Oder sind es die Wasser rund um Sydney, über die er nach Tahiti segeln könnte? Er ist sich unsicher. Könnte er genau dieses Thema für eine neue Komposition über die Metropole Sydney verwenden? Wie sollte er seine Träume vom Pazifik, seine Pacific Dreams, in diese Mixtur einbringen? Vielleicht könnte er den Wortschatz von Inseln wie Hawaii und Tahiti für seine Komposition verwenden. Und einen gemischten Chor die schönen Vokalverbindungen ad libitum singen lassen. Mit diesen Ideen im Kopf steigt er in die Metro am Circular Quay. Auf ins Hotel und frisch ans Werk! Jetzt muss er einfach komponieren....

Writt en to commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the surprise attack on the American Pacific Fleet, Remembering Pearl Harbor is a stirring tribute honoring the heroes of the date which will live in infamy- December 7, 1941. Like flying over the Pacific, the opening bars seemingly soar back in time. The composition takes the listener on a moving journey from the precarious moments before the fateful attack, through the air strike and resulting aftermath. The musical voyage begins with chimes, signifying the hour of the attack that Sunday morning, developing into the heroic main theme representing the Spirit of America. A rousing version of Anchors Aweigh takes us to the naval base at Pearl Harbor and the activities of the day. By the end of Anchors Aweigh, the mood seems to change, foreshadowing the fate of the U.S. fleet. Next, the haunting theme of the Japanese National Anthem is heard and the distant sound of propellers as they approach. When the planes arrive, the battle rages until there is total destruction. Countless people lost their lives on this tragic day. The playing of Taps and the Navy Hymn, Eternal Father, Strong to Save is presented as an homage to those who perished. Following this solemn moment, the American spirit begins to rise as they come together to defeat the enemy. As the U.S. triumphs in the end, we hear fragments of many American tunes depicting the strength and resilience of the American People. You may want to consider using portions of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's famous speech to enhance your performance. The following sections are suggested: Measure 46: Yesterday, December 7th, 1941 - a date which will live in infamy - the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by the naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan. Measure 83: The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian Islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. I regret to tell you that very many American lives have been lost. Measure 105: No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory..
