Moeran
based Lonely Waters on
the fragment of a song
from the Broads of East
Norfolk. This flowing,
atmospheric work is
dedicated to Ralph Vaughn
Williams, and recalls
Moeran's Norfolk boyhood
and the folksongs he
collected from East
Anglia.E J Moeran was a
20th century British
composer of Anglo-Irish
background who spent his
early years in Norfolk.
Influences of folksong
and programmatic elements
can be easily heard in
this composer's main body
of work. Moeran tended
toward the smaller
ensembles in his
composition which gave an
appropriate frame for his
great lyric gifts.

This
tender, flowing waltz

peaceful nostalgia,
reflecting his family's
long association with the
pastoral village of
Waterford, Maine. This
enchanting piece provides
an opportunity for young
string players to master
graceful phrasing and
smooth legato bowing.
Totally approachable for
intermediate players, yet
appropriately challenging
for more advanced
musicians, it includes a
delightful optional
harp/piano part. An
original fiddle waltz,
written to celebrate the
wedding of the composer's
daughter, this piece will

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€.

What is
also amazing is that the
first text-critical
edition prepared by the
Czech Smetana expert
Milan Pospisil in 1999,
which had entailed an
exhaustive evaluation of
the sources and been
given a full
text-critical editorial
treatment as a Eulenburg
study score, had no
resonance of any kind
among performers since no
performance material had
been published. After 15
years, Pospisils edition
is finally being
completed in a manner
suitable for practice:
with a conducting score
and orchestral parts
which will ensure that
all future performances
are based on a musical
text that is as reliable
as can
be.
The
work depicts the course
of the river Vltava,
beginning with its first
two sources, the cold and
warm Vltava, and the
confluence of the two
streams that join to form
a single river; then the
course of the Vltava
through forests and
meadows, and through open
countryside where a
peasant wedding is being
celebrated; water-sprites
dance by the light of the
moon; on the nearby
cliffs castles, mansions
and ruins rise proudly
into the air; the Vltava
eddies in the St John's
Rapids, then flows in a
broad stream as it
continues its course
towards Prague, where the
Vysehrad appears, before
the river finally
disappears into the
distance as it flows
majestically into the
Elbe.
Vltava
(The Moldau),
Smetana's best-known and
most frequently performed
orchestral work, was
written between 19
November and 8 December
1874, at a time when
Smetana was already
completely deaf. The
world premiere took place
in Prague on 4 April
1875, but the score was
not published until
1880.
Composed by Doug Spata.

The
mystical atmosphere of
Greece's coastal caves,
which shine with dazzling
iridescent blue light
through crystal-clear
waters, is the
inspiration of this rich,
cinematic selection.
Students will be
challenged to maintain a
balanced, warm tone
throughout, with a slow
tempo and increased part
independence. But they'll
adore the flowing,
interlocking streams of
dreamlike melody in all
the parts and an ominous
sense of tension and
release that builds to a
rewarding conclusion. An
optional harp part is
included. The Blue Caves
of Zakynthos, by Doug
Spata, is a great way for
advanced orchestras to
work on higher-level
musicianship skills, and
it will be a stunning
showpiece in any concert
program. (4:50).
