Leoš
Janácek’s
symphonic fragment Dunaj
(The Danube) dates from
the period of the
composition of
“Katya
Kabanovaâ€. The
composer was not
concerned with a
musical-picturesque
description of a river
landscape, but with the
mythical link between
women’s destinies
and
water.
“Pale
green waves of the
Danube! There are so many
of you, and one followed
by another. You remain
interlocked in a
continuous flow. You
surprise yourselves where
you ended up – on
the Czech shores! Look
back downstream and you
will have an impression
of what you have left
behind in your haste. It
pleases you here. Here I
will rest with my
symphony.†Thus
Leoš Janácek
described the idea behind
the composition project
which occupied him in
1923/24. However, after
further work, it remained
incomplete in 1926. His
“symphonyâ€
entitled Dunaj has
survived as a
continuously-notated,
four-movement bundle of
sketches in score form.
It is one of the works
which occupied him until
his death. The scholarly
reconstruction by the two
Brno composers Miloš
Štedron and Leoš
Faltus closely follows
the original
manuscript.
A
whole conglomeration of
motifs stands behind the
incomplete work. What at
first seems like a
counterpart to
Smetana’s Vltava,
in fact doesn’t
turn out to be a musical
depiction of the Danube.
On the contrary, the
fateful link between the
destiny of women, water
and death permeates the
range of motifs found in
the work. It seems to be
no coincidence that
Janácek, whilst
working on the opera
Katya Kabanova, in which
the Volga, as the river
bringing death plays an
almost mythical role,
planned a Danube
symphony, and that its
content was linked with
the destiny of women: in
the sketches, two poems
were found which may have
provided the stimulus for
several movements of the
symphony. He copied a
poem by Pavla
Kriciková into the
second movement, in which
a girl remarks that
whilst bathing in a pond,
she was observed by a
man. Filled with shame,
the young naked woman
jumps into the water and
drowns. The outer
movements likewise draw
on the poem
“Lola†by the
Czech writer Sonja
Špálová,
published under the
pseudonym Alexander
Insarov. This is about a
prostitute who asks for
her heart’s
desire: she is given a
palace, but then goes on
a long search for it and
is finally no longer
wanted by anyone. She
suffers, feels cold and
just wants a warm fire.
Janácek adds his
remark “she jumps
into the Danube†to
the inconclusive
ending.
To these
tangible literary models
is added Adolf
Veselý’s verbal
account which reports
that the composer wanted
to portray “in the
Danube, the female sex
with all its passions and
driving forcesâ€.
The third movement is
said to characterise the
city of Vienna in the
form of a
woman.
It is
evident that in his
composition, Janácek
was not striving for a
simple, natural lyricism.
The River Danube is
masculine in the Slavic
language –
“ten Dunajâ€
– and assumes an
almost mythical
significance in the
national character,
indeed often also a role
bringing death. The four
movements are motivically
conceived. Elements of
sound painting, small
wave-like figures in the
first movement, motoric,
driving movements in the
third are obvious
evocations of water. And
the content and the
literary level are easy
to discover. The
“tremolo of the
four timpaniâ€,
which was amongst
Janácek’s first
inspirations, appears in
the second movement. It
is not difficult to
retrace in it the fate of
the drowning bather. The
oboe enters lamentoso
towards the end of the
movement over timpani
playing tremolo, its
descending figure is
taken over by the flute,
then upper strings and
intensified considerably.
The motif of drowning
– Lola’s
despair – returns
again in the fourth
movement in the clarinet,
before the work ends
abruptly and
dramatically.
One
special effect is the use
of a soprano voice in the
motor-driven third
movement. The singer
vocalises mainly in
parallel with the solo
oboe, but also in
dialogue with other parts
such as the viola
d’amore, which
Janácek used in
several late works as a
sort of “voice of
loveâ€.

Alas! Babylon’s
Final Sunset is
another installment in my
series of works that
musically comment on the
biblical books of Daniel
and Revelation. The
principal source of
inspiration for this
works comes from the 18th
chapter of the book of
Revelation. This chapter
states that the career of
Babylon the Great is
finally coming to an end.
The music begins with a
mysterious pianissimo
tremolo accompanied by
tam-tam and bass drum.
The initial flourishes in
the oboes and English
horn serve as the
principal motive of
warning. As the music
continues, there are
varying degrees of
agitation among the
strings and woodwinds.
Throughout the work there
are rhythmic motives in
the brass, percussion,
and various woodwind
instruments that sing and
speak Babylon is Fallen
in triple meter. As the
tutti ensemble arrives at
a climax, the orchestral
texture becomes thinner
and slightly transparent.
As the music continues,
the opening motive
returns in the oboes,
however the counterpoint
produces a series of solo
laments. These passages
are intended to provide
picturesque images of
these words: And the
voice of harpers, and
musicians, and of pipers,
and trumpeters, shall be
heard no more at all in
thee; and no craftsman,
of whatsoever craft he
be, shall be found any
more in thee; and the
sound of a millstone
shall be heard no more at
all in thee; And the
light of a candle shall
shine no more at all in
thee. and the voice of
the bridegroom and of the
bride shall be heard no
more at all in thee: for
thy merchants were the
great men of the earth;
for by thy sorceries were
all nations deceived. And
in her was found the
blood of prophets, and of
saints, and of all that
were slain upon the
earth. Rev. 18:22-24 The
following passages
musically comment on the
historical career of
Babylon with a sense of
her impending
destruction. The series
of laments transforms
into the more emphatic
rhythmic motive Babylon
is Fallen. The orchestral
texture begins to become
more condense, once
again, with the initial
flourishes of, but with
notable variations.
Finally, the celesta,
harp, oboes, English
horn, and strings sing
profundities that are
finally transformed into
a minor mode tonality
that fades away with the
ringing of the tam-tam.
Babylon has finally seen
her last sunset.

to the Daily Courant, the

follows: On Wednesday
Evening, at about 8, the
King took to Water at
Whitehall in an open
Barge, wherein were
Dutchess of Bolton, The
Dutchess of New Castle,
the Countess of
Godolphin, Madam

compos'd express for this

which his Majesty liked
so well, that he caus'd
it to be play'd over

Thi
s edition unites all the
purely instrumental parts
of Rameau’s
comdie-ballet “Les
Paladins†for
performance as a suite in
the concert
hall.
In view of
the wealth of the
work’s musical
treasures and the
stylistic innovations
– similar to the
“Boradesâ€
– the rather
frosty reception of the
premiere series in the
spring of 1760 seems
completely
incomprehensible to us
today. It led to this
stage work not being
performed again until
well into the 20th
century. The story that
the comdie-ballet tells
is based on a fable by La
Fontaine, “Le Petit
chien qui secoue de
l’argent et des
pierreries†(i.e.
“The little dog who
shakes silver and
stonesâ€). In
medieval Veneto, the
guardian Anselme
undermines the love
affairs of his ward
Argies. Scenes of tragic
expression are contrasted
with folk-comic ones; and
last but not least, the
sexually ambiguous fairy
Manto may have caused
difficulties for the bold
work at the Paris
Opra.
This
critical edition is based
on the corresponding
volume issued in the
series “Opera omnia
Rameau†(BA
8870-01). Since
“Les
Paladins†remained
unpublished during
Rameau’s lifetime
and was also not included
in the “Œuvres
complètesâ€, this
is the first edition of
the work. It satisfies
both scholarly demand and
the practical needs of
musicians.
The
orchestral parts are
available on
hire.

Inspired by
his friend, the composer
Balakirev Tchaikovsky
decided in 1869 to write
an overture to
Shakespeare's drama Romeo
and Juliet. The work was
completed the same year
and received its premiere
soon thereafter, on March
4th, 1870 in Moscow under
the direction of Nikolay
Rubinstein. Following the
performance the composer
worked over the piece
again at Balakirev's
instigation: he wrote a
new introduction and
altered the return and
the end, too. The new
version was first
performed under the baton
of Napravnik in St
Petersburg on February
5th, 1872. By that time
it had become clear that
the composition was
closer to the genre of
symphonic poem than to
that of a theatrical
preludewhich is also
indicated by the
subtitle: 'fantasy
overture'. In the 1880s
Tchaikovsky carried out
further changes in the
score and thus the third
version of Romeo and
Juliet emerged that was
first performed by
Ippolitov-Ivanov as
conductor in Tbilisi on
April 19th, 1886.

Little is
known about the actual
composition process of
Lemminkainen and the
performance and
publication history is
rather complex, resulting
in a first complete
printing of all the four
movements en suite
through the complete
edition of Jean Sibelius
Works only in 2013.In
summer 1894 Sibelius went
to Central Europe,
carrying among others a
plan for an opera freely
based on the Kalevala in
his mind. But during this
trip he reassessed his
composing: I think I have
found my old self again,
musically speaking. I
think I really am a tone
painter and a poet. As a
result he abandoned his
opera plans, but musical
material may have found
its way into the
Lemminkainen pieces which
he started composing
during that time.
Lemminkainen became
popular from the
beginning and has
attained a fixed position
in the concert
repertoire.On
Lemminkainen's Return
Sibelius commented: I
would like to see more
pride in us Finns. Why
should we be ashamed?
This is the underlying
thought in Lemminkainen's
Return. Lemminkainen is
just as good as the
noblest of earls. He is
an aristocrat, without
question an
aristocrat!.

Work on this
piece began in the spring
of 1899 durng Kar owiczs
studies in Berlin and he
finished it after
graduating and returning
home in June 1902. Its
premiere took place on
March 21, 1903 in Berlin,
and the Polish premiere
on April 7, 1903 in Lviv.
The symphony has a
classic, four-movement
structure, but in terms
of architecture it is
much closer to symphonic
poems. It consists of the
movements: 1. Andante.
Allegro 2. Andante non
troppo 3. Vivace 4.
Allegro maestoso. ''In
terms of orchestration
and instrumentation
technique it represents
Kar owiczs early,
academic period. The
composer still used
double wind enriched with
piccolo flute, unlike in
his later orchestral
works the symphonic
poems. The orchestration
of the work indicates
that the composer was
guided by Tchaikovskys
symphonic model. Kar
owicz here still
willingly operates with
various sound blocks of
entire instrumental
groups, treating them in
a choral manner, with
tight chordal pillars''
(Leszek Polony). Before
the Polish premiere the
composer gave a
comprehensive literary
programme of the work in
the Lviv newspaper S owo
Polskie, in which he
referred to each
consecutive movement of
the Symphony. In his last
words he wrote, ''We hear
a hymn of revival, at
first quiet and sweet,
then wider and wider, and
fuller. Already the time
has come; to hear the
fanfare. Only one more
step! And although the
spirits fall again in
doubt, we hear a powerful
and solemn hymn of
rebirth.''.

With the
new edition of the
G-minor Symphony, a vital
work group in Mozart's
oeuvre is now complete:
the three late symphonies
K. 543, 550 and 551, now
available in Urtext
editions. As in his new
edition of the Hafner
Symphony, Henrik Wiese
uncovers in the present
Breitkopf Urtext score
three different stages in
the genesis of the
G-minor Symphony. Mozart
initially wrote the work
without clarinets (1st
stage), and then he added
the clarinets (2nd
stage). Not until a final
stage did he change the
wind instrumentation in
the Andante (3rd stage).
Mozart thus returned to
the 1st version again
after completing the 2nd
version (with clarinets).
This advances the
importance of the 1st
version without clarinets
as Fassung letzter Hand.
A compelling insight
which sheds new light on
the famous G-minor
Symphony. Both versions
are of equal value and
can now be compared with
one another, studied and,
above all, performed for
the first time ever
thanks to the new score
and parts.Another
extremly practical aspect
that should be noted: the
orchestral parts offer
solutions for all the
problematic page turns
for the first time ever
(please see the sample
pages of OB 5542 - Violin
II.),,... the musical
text is fine. This is a
valuable improvement.

full score. Introductory
texts presented in
English, German, and
Polish. The Lithuanian
Rhapsody (Rapsodia
litewska), Op. 11 is the
third - after Returning
Waves and Eternal Songs -
of the six symphonic
poems by Mieczyslaw
Karlowicz. Composition
was probably taking shape
during the summer months
of 1906 in Warsaw.
Lithuanian Rhapsody
differs significantly
from the other parts of
'programme cycle' which
Mieczyslaw Karlowicz's
symphonic poems may be
regarded as forming. This
is a work based primarily
on thematic material
derived from folk output
(something that would
never again occur in the
composer's brief
biography), compared with
the earlier score of
Eternal Songs or the
later Stanislaw and Anna
Oswiecim it displays much
greater stylistic
independence of the
German music embodied
around the turn of the
twentieth century.
