How great is the Father’s love for us! Full of awe and wonder, this song of reverent faith opens quietly, with unison voices. The vocals thicken gradually as the verses rise in successive keys, warmly supported by the artful accompaniment. Lyrical and reflective, it’s a gift of love for our gracious, compassionate God. (From the cantata The Living Last Supper. SATB – 55/1110L; SAB – 55/1116L.) Instrumentation: Flute, Oboe, 2 Clarinets, Percussion, Violin 1 & 2, Viola, Cello, and Bass.

Wortlich ubersetzt ist das Libretto ein 'kleines Buch', ein 'Buchlein'. Doch nicht irgendein Buchlein. Seit es Opern gibt, gibt es die Textbucher dazu. Oft erzahlen die Universalsprache Musik und der Ausdruck der Darsteller die Geschichte, auch wenn man die Worte nicht versteht. Trotzdem ist ein Libretto sehr hilfreich fur das Verstandnis der Details. Gerade dann, und das fast immer, wenn die Oper in der Originalsprache aufgefuhrt wird. In den Libretti ist in der Regel das Original der Ubersetzung gegenubergestellt. Sie konnen so problemlos parallel Handlung und Inhalt folgen. In den meisten Fallen existiert das Textbuch Oper bevor die Musik dazu komponiert wird. Spannende und dramatische Geschichten bilden die Grundlage fur faszinierende Opernkompositionen.

Le Voyage Dans La Lune is a continuous orchestral score of approximately 14 minutes comprising two outer fast sections and a slower inner section of a dream-like character. The work is directly inspired by the film Le Voyage Dans La Lune (1902), written and directed by the pioneering French film-maker, Georges Méliès. Méliès was influenced by 19th century interests in science and discoveries, as well as the science fiction of Jules Verne. At the same time his work seems fantastic, surreal and satirical. Some critics point out an underlying critique of colonial adventuring. The plot centres on a group of astronomers who decide to launch a rocket to the moon containing a handful of their number. They reach the moon (famously landing on the moon’s face) and then encounter a strange race of aliens, whom they battle and destroy. The return to earth involves a dramatic descent, a plunge into the ocean and then celebratory dancing. The film inhabits a surreal and dream-like space, and uses an idiosyncratic visual language which transforms reality. This inspired an active musical response in my own score, which is by turns abrupt, smooth, lyrical and violent, and expresses something of the strange shifting surfaces and multiple and layered tempos evident in the film. The canons in the horns in the first scene reflect the intense arguments of the astronomers as they consider the project. The slower inner section is inspired by the scenes of the industrial City viewed from its rooftops by the astronomers. It also expresses the wonder of the astronomers as they see the earth rise from the perspective of the moon after their arrival there. The music of the final section is in places conflicted, reflecting the violent encounters with the moon’s inhabitants. It moves into a more harmonious phase at the close to match the celebrations upon the astronomers’ return from their adventuring. The music could be considered to be a surreal mini-opera without voices, voicing instead the characters of the silent screen. - Ed Hughes.

This popular folk song from the Hebei Province, a unique geographical area surrounding the capital city of Beijing, is a great favorite there because of its memorable melody. In his score notes Mr. Wang explains that Chinese duets resemble a question-and-answer conversation between voices, which aptly describes the form and character of this setting for student strings.

Die 'Missa juvenalis' entstand als Auftragskompostion der Chore an St. Georg in Bensheim. Sie ist eine moderne Orchestermesse fur zweistimmigen Jugendchor und vierstimmigen Erwachsenenchor, Orchester, Sopransolo und zwei Perkussionisten. Die ca. 30minutige Messe vereint den klassischen, lateinischen Messtext mit deutschen Erganzungen von Dag Hammarskjold und Meister Eckhart. In 'Kyrie' und 'Agnus De'i eingeschoben, geben Sie dem zeitlosen Messtext eine beruckende Aktualitat. Die Messe bewegt sich stilistisch zwischen klassischen Modellen, Musical und Jazz. Entsprechend uppig ist die notwendige Ausstattung an Schlagwerk, das zu den Streichern und Holzblasern hinzutritt.
