Washed up on
the Phaeacian shore after
a shipwreck, Odysseus is
introduced to King
Alcinous. As he sits in
the palace, he tells the
Phaeacians of his
wanderings since leaving
Troy. Odysseus and his
men fi rst landed on the
island of the Cicones
wherethey sacked the city
of Ismarus. From there,
great storms swept them
to the land of the
hospitable Lotus Eaters.
Then they sailed to the
land of the Cyclopes.
Odysseus and twelve of
his men entered the cave
of Polyphemus. After the
single-eyed giantmade
handfuls of his men into
meals, Odysseus fi nally
defeated him. He got him
drunk and once he had
fallen asleep, he and his
men stabbed a glowing
spike into the
Cyclop’s single
eye, completely blinding
him. They escaped by
clinging to the belliesof
some sheep. Once aboard,
Odysseus taunted the
Cyclop by revealing him
his true identity.
Enraged, Polyphemus
hurled rocks at the ship,
trying to sink it. After
leaving the
Cyclopes’ island,
they arrived at the home
of Aeolus, ruler of the
winds.Aeolus off ered
Odysseus a bag trapping
all the strong winds
within except one - the
one which would take him
straight back to Ithaca.
As the ship came within
sight of Ithaca, the
crewmen, curious about
the bag, decided to open
it. The winds escapedand
stirred up a storm.
Odysseus and his crew
came to the land of the
cannibalistic
Laestrygonians, who sank
all but one of the ships.
The survivors went next
to Aeaea, the island of
the witch-goddess Circe.
Odysseus sent out a
scouting party butCirce
turned them into pigs.
With the help of an
antidote the god Hermes
had given him, Odysseus
managed to overpower the
goddess and forced her to
change his men back to
human form. When it was
time for Odysseus to
leave, Circe told him to
sail tothe realm of the
dead to speak with the
spirit of the seer
Tiresias. One
day’s sailing took
them to the land of the
Cimmerians. There, he
performed sacrifi ces to
attract the souls of the
dead. Tiresias told him
what would happen to him
next. He thengot to talk
with his mother,
Anticleia, and met the
spirits of Agamemnon,
Achilles, Patroclus,
Antilochus, Ajax and
others. He then saw the
souls of the damned
Tityos, Tantalus, and
Sisyphus. Odysseus soon
found himself mobbed by
souls. He
becamefrightened, ran
back to his ship, and
sailed away. While back
at Aeaea, Circe told him
about the dangers he
would have to face on his
way back home. She
advised him to avoid
hearing the song of the
Sirens; but if he really
felt he had to hear,
thenhe should be tied to
the mast of the ship,
which he did. Odysseus
then successfully steered
his crew past Charybdis
(a violent whirlpool) and
Scylla (a multiple-headed
monster), but Scylla
managed to devour six of
his men. Finally,
Odysseus and hissurviving
crew approached the
island where the Sun god
kept sacred cattle.
Odysseus wanted to sail
past, but the crewmen
persuaded him to let them
rest there. Odysseus
passed Circe’s
counsel on to his men.
Once he had fallen
asleep, his men
impiouslykilled and ate
some of the cattle. When
the Sun god found out, he
asked Zeus to punish
them. Shortly after they
set sail from the island,
Zeus destroyed the ship
and all the men died
except for Odysseus.
After ten days, Odysseus
was washed up on
theisland of the nymph
Calypso.
Nachdem
er an die Küste der
Phäaker gespült
wurde, wird Odysseus dem
König Akinoos
vorgestellt. In dessen
Palast erzählt er den
Phäakern von den
Fahrten nach seiner
Abreise aus Troja.
Odysseus und seine
Männer landen
zunächst auf
denKikonen, einer
Inselgruppe, wo sie die
Stadt Ismaros einnehmen.
Von dort aus treiben sie
mächtige Stürme
zum Land der
gastfreundlichen
Lotophagen
(Lotos-Essern). Dann
segeln sie zum Land der
Kyklopen (Zyklopen).
Odysseus und seine
zwölf Mannenbetreten
die Höhle von
Poloyphem, dem Sohn
Poseidons. Nachdem dieser
einige der Männer
verspeist hat,
überwaÃ…Nltigt
ihn Odysseus, indem er
ihn betrunken macht und
dann mit einem
glühenden Spieß
in dessen einziges Auge
sticht und ihn
somitblendet. Odysseus
und die übrigen
Männer fl iehen an den
Bäuchen von Schafen
hängend. Wieder an
Bord, provoziert Odysseus
den Zyklopen, indem er
ihm seine wahre
Identität verrät.
Wütend bewirft
Polyphem das Schiff mit
Steinen undversucht, es
zu versenken. Nachdem sie
die Insel der Kyklopen
verlassen haben, kommen
Odysseus und seine Mannen
ins Reich von Aiolos, dem
Herr der Winde. Aiolos
schenkt ihm einen Beutel,
in dem alle Winde
eingesperrt sind,
außer dem, der ihn
direktzurück nach
Ithaka treiben soll. Als
das Schiff in Sichtweite
von Ithaka ist, öff
nen die neugierigen
Seemänner den
Windsack. Die Winde entfl
iehen und erzeugen einen
Sturm. Odysseus und seine
Mannschaft verschlägt
es ins Land
derkannibalischen
Laistrygonen, die alle
ihre Schiff e, bis auf
eines, versenken. Die
Ãœberlebenden reisen
weiter nach Aiaia, der
Insel der Zauberin Kirke.
Odysseus sendet einen
Spähtrupp aus, der von
Kirke aber in Schweine
verwandelt wird. Mit
Hilfeeines Gegenmittels
vom Götterboten Hermes
kann Odysseus Kirke
überwaÃ…Nltigen
und er zwingt sie, seinen
Gefährten wieder ihre
menschliche Gestalt
zurückzugeben. Als
er wieder aufbrechen
will, rät Kirke ihm,
den Seher Teiresias in
derUnterwelt aufzusuchen
und zu befragen. Eine
Tagesreise führt
sie dann ins Land der
Kimmerer, nahe dem
Eingang des Hades. Dort
bringt Odysseus Opfer, um
die Seelen der Toten
anzurufen. Teireisas sagt
ihm sein Schicksal
voraus. Dann darf
Odysseusmit seiner Mutter
Antikleia und den Seelen
von Agamemnon, Achilles,
Patroklos, Antilochus,
Ajax und anderen Toten
sprechen. Dann sieht er
die Seelen der Verdammten
Tityos, Tantalos und
Sisyphos. Bald wird
Odysseus selbst von den
Seelen gequält,
kehrtvoll Angst zu seinem
Schiff zurück und
segelt davon. In Aiaia
hatte Kirke ihn vor den
drohenden Gefahren der
Heimreise gewarnt. Sie
riet ihm, den Gesang der
Sirenen zu vermeiden,
wenn er aber unbedingt
zuhören müsse,
solle er sich an denMast
seines Schiff es bindet
lassen, was er dann auch
tut. Dann führt
Odysseus seine Mannschaft
erfolgreich durch die
Meerenge zwischen Skylla
und Charybdis, wobei
Skylla jedoch sechs
seiner Männer
verschlingt.
Schließlich erreichen
Odysseusund die
überlebende
Besatzung die Insel, auf
der der Sonnengott Helios
heiliges Vieh hält.
Odysseus will
weitersegeln, aber seine
Mannschaft
überredet ihn zu
einer Rast. Odysseus
erzählt ihnen von
Kirkes Warnung, aber
kaum, dass
ereingeschlafen ist,
töten die Männer in
gotteslästerlicher
Weise einige Rinder und
verspeisen sie. Als
Helios dies entdeckt,
bittet er Zeus, sie zu
bestrafen. Kurz nachdem
sie die Segel für
die Abreise von der Insel
gesetzt haben,
zerstört Zeusdas
Schiff und alle außer
Odysseus sterben. Nach
zehn Tagen wird Odysseus
an den Strand der Insel
der Nymphe Kalypso
angespült.

A lot is known

This son of Swedish

trombone, tuba and double
bass. He spoke several
languages fluently and
graduated from Harvard
with first-class
honours.While on military
service, the army also
commissioned him to write
a manual on Icelandic

started writing musical
arrangements as a
student, and from his
30th year arranged and
composed for the Boston
Pops Orchestra. Such
melodiesas Serenata, The
Typewriter, Sleigh Ride
and Bugler�s
Holiday made him world
famous. His best-known
work, Blue Tango, reached
number one in the US
charts in 1952, and it
sold more than a million
copies. In 1975, a year
after hisdeath, he was
given a star at the Walk
of Fame in Hollywood.Most
of his works last no
longer than three
minutes, about the
maximum length of a
single at that time. One
work that lasts longer is
his 1953 Piano Concerto
in C for piano and
orchestra.The first
performance was in
Chicago, conducted by the
composer and with Eugene
List at the piano.
However, after three
performances he was no
longer happy with the
work and withdrew it. He
always intended to revise
it, but never got round
to it. Itwas only in 1989
that the Anderson family
decided to republish the
work.This three-part
composition is on the one
hand characterised by a
careless elegance, but on
the other one can hear
the influence of
Rachmaninoff, Copland,
Gershwin, and
evenBeethoven and Mozart,
as well as the Viennese
classics.Anderson used
the sonata form for the
first movement. It ends
with a cadenza that
carries us on into the
second part (in e minor).
The third part is a
typically cheerful
American folk dance in2/4
time, a so-called Hoe
Down, with a lilting,
lyrical passage as its
middle section. At the
end comes a solo passage
followed by a rapid
close.In this piano
concerto, Anderson
combines a rigidly
classical form of
composition with simple
andappealing themes and
elements from light
music. So this work is a
perfect synthesis of
light music and what is
called serious music, in
the same way as
Gershwin�s
Rhapsody in Blue. A work
that can be played
equally well in a
concerthall, at an
open-air concert or even
a pop
concert.

Following a
celebrated series of wind
ensemble tone poems about
national parks in the
American West, Dan
Welcher’s Upriver
celebrates the Lewis &
Clark Expedition from the
Missouri River to
Oregon’s Columbia
Gorge, following the
Louisiana Purchase of
1803. Welcher’s
imaginative textures and
inventiveness are freshly
modern, evoking our
American heritage,
including references to
Shenandoah and other folk
songs known to have been
sung on the expedition.
For advanced players.
Duration:
14’. In 1803,
President Thomas
Jefferson sent Meriwether
Lewis and William
Clark’s Corps of
Discovery to find a water
route to the Pacific and
explore the uncharted
West. He believed woolly
mammoths, erupting
volcanoes, and mountains
of pure salt awaited
them. What they found was
no less mind-boggling:
some 300 species unknown
to science, nearly 50
Indian tribes, and the
Rockies.Ihave been a
student of the Lewis and
Clark expedition, which
Thomas Jefferson called
the “Voyage of
Discovery,†for as
long as I can remember.
This astonishing journey,
lasting more than
two-and-a-half years,
began and ended in St.
Louis, Missouri —
and took the travelers up
more than a few rivers in
their quest to find the
Northwest Passage to the
Pacific Ocean. In an age
without speedy
communication, this was
akin to space travel out
of radio range in our own
time: no one knew if,
indeed, the party had
even survived the voyage
for more than a year.
Most of them were
soldiers. A few were
French-Canadian voyageurs
— hired trappers
and explorers, who were
fluent in French (spoken
extensively in the
region, due to earlier
explorers from France)
and in some of the Indian
languages they might
encounter. One of the
voyageurs, a man named
Pierre Cruzatte, also
happened to be a
better-than-average
fiddle player. In many
respects, the travelers
were completely on their
own for supplies and
survival, yet,
incredibly, only one of
them died during the
voyage. Jefferson had
outfitted them with food,
weapons, medicine, and
clothing — and
along with other
trinkets, a box of 200
jaw harps to be used in
trading with the Indians.
Their trip was long,
perilous to the point of
near catastrophe, and
arduous. The dream of a
Northwest Passage proved
ephemeral, but the
northwestern quarter of
the continent had finally
been explored, mapped,
and described to an
anxious world. When the
party returned to St.
Louis in 1806, and with
the Louisiana Purchase
now part of the United
States, they were greeted
as national heroes.Ihave
written a sizeable number
of works for wind
ensemble that draw their
inspiration from the
monumental spaces found
in the American West.
Four of them (Arches, The
Yellowstone Fires,
Glacier, and Zion) take
their names, and in large
part their being, from
actual national parks in
Utah, Wyoming, and
Montana. But Upriver,
although it found its
voice (and its finale) in
the magnificent Columbia
Gorge in Oregon, is about
a much larger region.
This piece, like its
brother works about the
national parks,
doesn’t try to
tell a story. Instead, it
captures the flavor of a
certain time, and of a
grand adventure. Cast in
one continuous movement
and lasting close to
fourteen minutes, the
piece falls into several
subsections, each with
its own heading: The
Dream (in which
Jefferson’s vision
of a vast expanse of
western land is opened);
The Promise, a chorale
that re-appears several
times in the course of
the piece and represents
the seriousness of the
presidential mission; The
River; The Voyageurs; The
River II ; Death and
Disappointment; Return to
the Voyage; and The River
III .The music includes
several quoted melodies,
one of which is familiar
to everyone as the
ultimate “river
song,†and which
becomes the
through-stream of the
work. All of the quoted
tunes were either sung by
the men on the voyage, or
played by
Cruzatte’s fiddle.
From various journals and
diaries, we know the men
found enjoyment and
solace in music, and
almost every night
encampment had at least a
bit of music in it. In
addition to Cruzatte,
there were two other
members of the party who
played the fiddle, and
others made do with
singing, or playing upon
sticks, bones, the
ever-present jaw harps,
and boat horns. From
Lewis’ journals, I
found all the tunes used
in Upriver: Shenandoah
(still popular after more
than 200 years),
V’la bon vent,
Soldier’s Joy,
Johnny Has Gone for a
Soldier, Come Ye Sinners
Poor and Needy (a hymn
sung to the tune
“Beech
Springâ€) and
Fisher’s Hornpipe.
The work follows an
emotional journey: not
necessarily step-by-step
with the Voyage of
Discovery heroes, but a
kind of grand arch.
Beginning in the mists of
history and myth,
traversing peaks and
valleys both real and
emotional (and a solemn
funeral scene), finding
help from native people,
and recalling their zeal
upon finding the one
great river that will, in
fact, take them to the
Pacific. When the men
finally roar through the
Columbia Gorge in their
boats (a feat that even
the Indians had not
attempted), the
magnificent river
combines its theme with
the chorale of
Jefferson’s
Promise. The Dream is
fulfilled: not quite the
one Jefferson had
imagined (there is no
navigable water passage
from the Missouri to the
Pacific), but the dream
of a continental
destiny.

I n 1803,
President Thomas
Jefferson sent Meriwether
Lewis and William Clarks
Corps of Discovery to
find a water route to the
Pacific and explore the
uncharted West. He
believed woolly mammoths,
erupting volcanoes, and
mountains of pure salt
awaited them. What they
found was no less
mind-boggling: some 300
species unknown to
science, nearly 50 Indian
tribes, and the Rockies.
I have been a student of
the Lewis and Clark
expedition, which Thomas
Jefferson called the
Voyage of Discovery, for
as long as I can
remember. This
astonishing journey,
lasting more than
two-and-a-half years,
began and ended in St.
Louis, Missouri and took
the travelers up more
than a few rivers in
their quest to find the
Northwest Passage to the
Pacific Ocean. In an age
without speedy
communication, this was
akin to space travel out
of radio range in our own
time: no one knew if,
indeed, the party had
even survived the voyage
for more than a year.
Most of them were
soldiers. A few were
French-Canadian voyageurs
hired trappers and
explorers, who were
fluent in French (spoken
extensively in the
region, due to earlier
explorers from France)
and in some of the Indian
languages they might
encounter. One of the
voyageurs, a man named
Pierre Cruzatte, also
happened to be a
better-than-average
fiddle player. In many
respects, the travelers
were completely on their
own for supplies and
survival, yet,
incredibly, only one of
them died during the
voyage. Jefferson had
outfitted them with food,
weapons, medicine, and
clothing and along with
other trinkets, a box of
200 jaw harps to be used
in trading with the
Indians. Their trip was
long, perilous to the
point of near
catastrophe, and arduous.
The dream of a Northwest
Passage proved ephemeral,
but the northwestern
quarter of the continent
had finally been
explored, mapped, and
described to an anxious
world. When the party
returned to St. Louis in
1806, and with the
Louisiana Purchase now
part of the United
States, they were greeted
as national heroes. I
have written a sizeable
number of works for wind
ensemble that draw their
inspiration from the
monumental spaces found
in the American West.
Four of them (Arches, The
Yellowstone Fires,
Glacier, and Zion) take
their names, and in large
part their being, from
actual national parks in
Utah, Wyoming, and
Montana. But Upriver,
although it found its
voice (and its finale) in
the magnificent Columbia
Gorge in Oregon, is about
a much larger region.
This piece, like its
brother works about the
national parks, doesnt
try to tell a story.
Instead, it captures the
flavor of a certain time,
and of a grand adventure.
Cast in one continuous
movement and lasting
close to fourteen
minutes, the piece falls
into several subsections,
each with its own
heading: The Dream (in
which Jeffersons vision
of a vast expanse of
western land is opened);
The Promise, a chorale
that re-appears several
times in the course of
the piece and represents
the seriousness of the
presidential mission; The
River; The Voyageurs; The
River II ; Death and
Disappointment; Return to
the Voyage; and The River
III . The music includes
several quoted melodies,
one of which is familiar
to everyone as the
ultimate river song, and
which becomes the
through-stream of the
work. All of the quoted
tunes were either sung by
the men on the voyage, or
played by Cruzattes
fiddle. From various
journals and diaries, we
know the men found
enjoyment and solace in
music, and almost every
night encampment had at
least a bit of music in
it. In addition to
Cruzatte, there were two
other members of the
party who played the
fiddle, and others made
do with singing, or
playing upon sticks,
bones, the ever-present
jaw harps, and boat
horns. From Lewis
journals, I found all the
tunes used in Upriver:
Shenandoah (still popular
after more than 200
years), Vla bon vent,
Soldiers Joy, Johnny Has
Gone for a Soldier, Come
Ye Sinners Poor and Needy
(a hymn sung to the tune
Beech Spring) and Fishers
Hornpipe. The work
follows an emotional
journey: not necessarily
step-by-step with the
Voyage of Discovery
heroes, but a kind of
grand arch. Beginning in
the mists of history and
myth, traversing peaks
and valleys both real and
emotional (and a solemn
funeral scene), finding
help from native people,
and recalling their zeal
upon finding the one
great river that will, in
fact, take them to the
Pacific. When the men
finally roar through the
Columbia Gorge in their
boats (a feat that even
the Indians had not
attempted), the
magnificent river
combines its theme with
the chorale of Jeffersons
Promise. The Dream is
fulfilled: not quite the
one Jefferson had
imagined (there is no
navigable water passage
from the Missouri to the
Pacific), but the dream
of a continental
destiny.

Sinfonia
Hungarica is a
three-movement symphony
that depicts the history
of Hungary. All three
movements were inspired
by historical key
figures, wars, and other
important events from
this country. This
symphony is a celebration
of Hungary’s
millennium in 2001.The
final movement is named
after ISTVAN, the King
who introduced
Christianity into Hungary
and who was crowned by
Pope Silvestro II on
January 1, 1001. A rather
solemn start leads to
another war-like passage,
ending with some loud
crashes. This symbolizes
the fact that the body of
the pagan Koppany was cut
into four pieces, and
sent to the four castles
of the country as an
example. After a quiet,
almost
religiousintermezzo, the
National Hymn of Hungary
is introduced. This broad
“grandiosoâ€
ending also has a
symbolic meaning: after
ten centuries, Hungary
has many reasons to look
back on the past with
pride, and to look
forward to the future
with optimism and
confidence.

ist die zentrale Gestalt
des ersten Satzes; in
seiner musikalischen
Beschreibung sind
Aggressivität und
Grausamkeit, die vonihm
ausgehende Bedrohung und
ihm entgegengebrachte
Furcht spürbar.
Daneben erscheinen das
heroischer klingende
Thema von Buda,
Attilas Bruder, und das
lyrische von Rika,

feierlicher Anfang leitet

das Ende des Heiden
Koppany, dessen
Körper gevierteilt und
als abschreckendes
Beispiel an die vier
Burgen des Landes gesandt
wurde. Ein ruhiges,
beinahe religiös
wirkendesZwischenspiel
mündet in die
ungarische Nationalhymne.
Dieser prachtvolle, mit
grandioso
überschriebene Schluss
hat auch eine symbolische
Bedeutung: Nach zehn
Jahrhunderten hat Ungarn
guten Grund, mit Stolz
zurückzublicken und

und Optimismus

wunderbare Melodie der
Nationalhymne erscheint
in der Sinfonie auch

überdeckt. Sie
durchläuft das Werk
wie ein roter Faden, der
anfangs kaumwahrzunehmen

delle truppe di Attila

l’accento su
ARPAD, il

The composer
writes:On March 11th 2011
a massive 9.0- magnitude
earthquake occurred off
the coast of
north-eastern Japan.I'm
writing these programme
notes barely a week later
and the death toll caused
by the quake and
resulting tsunami already
exceeds 6000, with
thousands of people still
unaccounted for. I have
many friends associated
with many bands
throughout Japan and one
of these, Yutaka Nishida,
suggested I write a piece
to raise money to help
those affected by the
disaster. I was
immediately attracted by
the idea and have
arranged Cantilena (a
brass band piece recently
commissioned by the
Grenland International
Brass Festival, Norway)
for wind band, giving it
a new title tohonour my
friends in the Land of
the Rising Sun.I will be
donating royalties from
this piece to the
Japanese Red Cross
Society Emergency Relief
Fund and am delighted to
say that my distributors,
De Haske, who will
generously also donate
all net profits from
sales of this piece, have
pledged a substantial
advance payment to the
Red Cross so that what
little help this project
generates can be
immediate.It is my
sincere wish that this
'Band Aid' project will
allow wind bands around
the world support the
people of Japan, where
bands are a way of life
for many, in this
difficult time.Philip
Sparke
De
componist schrijft:Op 11
maart 2011 vond er vlak
bij de noordkust van
Japan een enorme
aardbeving - 9.0 op de
schaal van Richter -
plaats.Ik maak deze
werkbeschrijving
nauwelijks een week later
en het aantal doden dat
de aardbevingen de
daaropvolgende tsunami
hebben geëist, komt al
uit boven de 6000,
terwijl er nog steeds
duizenden mensen worden
vermist.Ik heb veel
vrienden die met orkesten
in heel Japan werken, en
een van hen, Yutaka
Nishida, steldevoor dat
ik een stuk zou schrijven
om geld bij elkaar te
krijgen voor hulp aan de
slachtoffers van de ramp.
Ik vond het meteen een
goed idee en ik heb
vervolgens Cantilena (
een brassbandwerk dat ik
recentelijk heb
gecomponeerd voorhet
Grenland International
Brass festival in
Noorwegen) gearrangeerd
voor harmonieorkest en er
een nieuwe titel aan
gegeven, als eerbewijs
aan mijn vrienden in het
land van de rijzende
zon.De royalty's die ik
voor dit werk krijg,zal
ik doneren aan het
Japanse noodhulpfonds van
het Rode Kruis, en ik ben
heel blij dat mijn
distributeur, De Haske,
die eveneens alle
nettowinst op dit werk
zal doneren, bereid is
alvast een grote
vooruitbetaling te doen
aanhet Rode Kruis, zodat
de hulp die uit dit
project voortkomt, hoe
bescheiden wellicht ook,
onmiddellijk in gang
gezet kan worden.Ik hoop
oprecht dat dit 'Band
Aid-project' het
blaasorkesten wereldwijd
mogelijk maakt de mensen
in Japante steunen - een
land waar blaasmuziek
voor velen een manier van
leven is.
Der
Komponist schreibt
über sein Stück:Am
11. März 2011
ereignete sich ein
Erdbeben der Stärke
9,0 vor der
nordöstlichen Küste
Japans.Diese
Werkbeschreibung schreibe
ich nur eine Woche
später. Die Zahl der
Todesopfer des Erdbebens
und des dadurch
ausgelösten Tsunamis
überschreitet bereits
die 6000, wobei noch
tausende Menschen als
vermisst gelten.Ich habe
zahlreiche Freunde in
Japan, die mit vielen
Blasorchestern im ganzen
Land verbunden sind.
Einer dieser Freunde,
Yutaka Nishida, schlug
mir vor, ein Stück zu
schreiben, um mit dem
Erlös den von der
Katastrophe betroffenen
Menschen zu helfen. Ich
war gleich begeistert von
dieser Idee und habe
daraufhin
Cantilena(ein
Brass-Band-Stück, das
ich jüngst für das
Grenland International
Brass Festival in
Norwegen komponierte)
für Blasorchester
bearbeitet und ihm zu
Ehren meiner Freunde im
Land der aufgehenden
Sonne einen neuen Titel
gegeben.Ich werde meine
Tantiemen für dieses
Stück dem Hilfsfonds
des Japanischen Roten
Kreuzes spenden. Ich bin
auch sehr froh, dass mein
Verlag De Haske, der
ebenfalls alle Erlöse
aus diesem Stück
spenden wird, dem Roten
Kreuz bereits im Voraus
eine bedeutende Summe
geschickt hat, damit der
kleine Beitrag, den
dieses Projekt beitragen
kann, sofort ankommt.Es
ist mein inniger Wunsch,
dass dieses Band

Blasorchestern auf der
ganzen Welt
ermöglichen wird, den
Menschen in Japan zu
helfen, wo Blasorchester
in dieser schweren Zeit
für viele ein Weg
sind, das Leben aufrecht
zu erhalten.“Philip
Sparke
La
recente tragedia del
Giappone, messo in
ginocchio dal terremoto,
ha spinto Philip Sparke a
comporre The Sun Will
Rise Again (Il sole
sorger nuovamente), un
brano che vuole essere un
messaggio di solidariet
al popolo nipponico, ma
anche un aiuto concreto:

cruelty. Attila’s
brother, Buda, however,
has a more heroic theme,
while his beloved wife,

Looking Up,
Moving On was
commissioned by the Tokyo
Kosei Wind Orchestra and
was part of a tour
programme they gave in
May 2012, a tour which
included many areas that
had been devastated by
the 2011 earthquake and
tsunami.The theme of the
piece is the powerful
ability of mankind to
overcome such disasters
and look forward to a
positive future; it opens
in an appropriately
optimistic mood,
featuring bright
orchestral colours and
extensive syncopation. A
chorale-like fanfare is
soon introduced on horns
and euphonium, answered
by chirpy woodwinds. The
mood subsides until an
alto saxophone introduces
a brief quotation from
the composer's The Sun
Will RiseAgain, which
was written to raise
funds for victims of the
2011 disaster. The mood
soon changes and the
horns introduce a noble
theme under woodwind
flourishes. This leads to
the main Vivo
section of the piece
which is characterised
again by strong
syncopations as part of a
florid theme in the low
woodwinds. This melody
undergoes varied
development by all
sections of the band
until the horn fanfare
returns triumphally on
the brass. This is
extended and leads to a
faster coda which brings
together previous
material in counterpoint
to close the work in
optimistic mood.
Looking Up,
Moving On is
gecomponeerd in opdracht
van het Tokyo Kosei Wind
Orchestra. Het werk
maakte deel uit van een
programma uit mei 2012,
dat werd uitgevoerd
tijdens een tournee
waarbij veel regio's
werden bezocht die waren
verwoest door de
aardbeving en tsunami van
2011.Het thema van het
werk is het buitengewone
vermogen van de mens om
dergelijke rampen te
boven te komen en vooruit
te kijken naar een
positieve toekomst. De
opening is dan ook
optimistisch van
karakter, met heldere
orkestrale kleuren en een
rijkelijke syncopering.
Al snel wordt er een
koraalachtige fanfare
geintroduceerd door de
hoorns en het euphonium,
waarop een levendig
antwoord volgt in
dehoutblazerssectie. De
sfeer wordt dan steeds
kalmer totdat een
altsaxofoon een kort
citaat laat horen uit een
eerder werk van de
componist, The Sun
Will Rise Again, dat
werd geschreven om geld
in te zamelen voor de
slachtoffers van de ramp
uit 2011. De stemming
slaat vlug weer om: de
hoorns introduceren een
nobel thema, dat
weerklinkt onder
versieringen in het hout.
Dit leidt naar het Vivo,
het hoofdgedeelte, dat
eveneens wordt gekenmerkt
door sterke
syncoperingen, als
onderdeel van een
sierlijk thema in het
lage hout. De melodie
ondergaat een gevarieerde
ontwikkeling binnen alle
secties van het orkest,
totdat de hoornfanfare op
triomfantelijke wijze
terugkeert in het koper.
De fanfare wordt
vervolgens verder
uitgewerkt en voert ons
mee naar een snellere
coda, die voorafgaand
materiaal in contrapunt
samenbrengt en de
compositie in
optimistische stemming
afsluit.
Looking Up,
Moving Down wurde vom
Tokyo Kosei Wind
Orchestra in Auftrag
gegeben und war Teil des
Konzertprogramms einer
Tour im Mai 2012, welche
viele Gebiete einschloss,
die vom Erdbeben und
Tsunami im Jahr 2011
zerstort worden waren.
Thema dieses Stuckes ist
die gewaltige Fahigkeit
der Menschheit, uber
solche Katastrophen
hinwegzukommen und voll
Optimismus in die Zukunft
zu blicken; es beginnt
dementsprechend in einer
positiven Stimmung mit
strahlenden
Orchesterfarben und einer
ausgepragten
Synkopierung. Schon bald
wird eine choralartige
Fanfare auf den Hornern
und im Euphonium
vorgestellt, die von
munteren Holzblasern
beantwortet wird. Die
Stimmung flaut ab, bis
einAltsaxophon ein kurzes
Zitat aus The Sun Will
Rise Again anspielt,
das der Komponist zur
Spendenbeschaffung fur
die Opfer des Unglucks
2011 geschrieben hatte.
Kurz darauf folgt ein
Stimmungswechsel und die
Horner prasentieren ein
stattliches Thema,
begleitet von Fanfaren in
den Holzblasern. Dies
fuhrt zum mit Vivo
uberschriebenen Hauptteil
des Stuckes, der wiederum
von starken
Synkopierungen gepragt
ist, die Teil eines
bluhenden Themas in den
tiefen Holzblasern sind.
Diese Melodie durchlauft
eine vielgestaltige
Entwicklung durch alle
Instrumentengruppen des
Blasorchesters, bis das
Blech mit der Hornfanfare
triumphal zuruckkehrt.
Dies wird erweitert und
fuhrt zu einer
schnelleren Coda, in dem
verschiedenes zuvor
gehortes Material
kontrapunktisch
zusammenkommt, um das
Werk in einer
optimistischen Stimmung
zu beenden.
Looking Up,
Moving On est une
commande du Tokyo Kosei
Wind Orchestra. Cette
piece faisait partie du
programme de la tournee
effectuee par l'orchestre
en mai 2012, qui s'est
produit dans de
nombreuses regions
devastees par le
tremblement de terre et
le tsunami de 2011.La
composition a pour theme
l'immense capacite
humaine a surmonter de
telles catastrophes et
envisager l'avenir de
facon positive. Elle
debute justement dans un
climat optimiste
comportant de vives
couleurs orchestrales et
des passages syncopes.
Les cors et les euphonium
introduisent bientot une
fanfare en forme de
choral a laquelle
repondent des bois
petillants. L'ambiance
s'apaise jusqu'a ce
qu'unsaxophone alto
introduise un court
extrait de The Sun
Will Rise Again, du
meme compositeur, une
piece ecrite pour
collecter des fonds en
faveur des victimes du
desastre de 2011. Le
climat change hativement
lorsque les cors
introduisent un theme
noble par-dessus des
fioritures executees par
les bois. Vient ensuite
la principale section
vivo de la piece, qui se
caracterise, encore une
fois, par des syncopes
tres marquees dans le
cadre d'un theme fleuri
assure dans le registre
grave des bois. Cette
melodie fait l'objet de
divers developpements par
tous les pupitres de
l'orchestre jusqu'au
retour triomphant de la
fanfare soutenue par les
cuivres. Celle-ci se
prolonge pour mener a une
coda plus rapide qui
rassemble les elements

un climat optimiste.

Sinfonia
Hungarica is a
three-movement symphony
that depicts the history
of Hungary. All three
movements were inspired
by historical key
figures, wars, and other
important events from
this country. This
symphony is a celebration
of Hungary’s
millennium in 2001.The
second movement focuses
on ARPAD, the actual
founder of the Hungarian
State. It starts with an
atmospherical passage,
evoking his grandmother,
Emese, who dreamt about
his future destination.
One of Arpad’s
opponents, the Bulgarian
Prince Zalan, was chased
away after a fight. After
this, Arpad officially
named the territory
“Magyarorszag.â€
Die
Sinfonie in drei
Sätzen ist eine
musikalische Schilderung
der Geschichte Ungarns.
Alle drei Sätze haben
bedeutende historische
Persönlichkeiten und
Schlüsselereignisse
aus der Landesgeschichte
- wie etwa Kriege - zum
Inhalt. Das Werk wurde
zuUngarns
Tausendjahrfeier im Jahr
2001
geschrieben.Attila
, König der Hunnen,
oftmals auch die
Geißel Gottes genannt,
ist die zentrale Gestalt
des ersten Satzes; in
seiner musikalischen
Beschreibung sind
Aggressivität und
Grausamkeit, die vonihm
ausgehende Bedrohung und
ihm entgegengebrachte
Furcht spürbar.
Daneben erscheinen das
heroischer klingende
Thema von Buda,
Attilas Bruder, und das
lyrische von Rika,
seiner zärtlich
geliebten Frau. Der
aufpeitschende Schluss
desSatzes ist Sinnbild
für die gefürchtete
Schnelligkeit von Attilas
Truppen, mit der sie ihre
Opfer eingeholt und ohne
Ausnahme getötet
haben.Im Mittelpunkt des
zweiten Satzes steht
Arpad, der
eigentliche Begründer
des ungarischen Staates.
Eineatmosphärisch
klingende Einleitung
beschwört
Emese, die
Großmutter Arpads,
herauf, die im Traum
seine Bestimmung
vorhergesehen hatte. Er
schlug seinen Gegner, den
Prinzen Zalan von
Bulgarien, im Kampf in
die Flucht und gab dem
Land denNamen
Magyarorszag.Das Finale
ist nach Istvan
benannt, dem König,
der in Ungarn das
Christentum einführte
und am ersten Januar 1001
durch Papst Sylvester II.
gekrönt wurde. Ein
feierlicher Anfang leitet
über in einen an
Kriegsgetümmelerinnern
den Abschnitt, der in
lärmendem Getöse
endet. Es steht für
das Ende des Heiden
Koppany, dessen
Körper gevierteilt und
als abschreckendes
Beispiel an die vier
Burgen des Landes gesandt
wurde. Ein ruhiges,
beinahe religiös
wirkendesZwischenspiel
mündet in die
ungarische Nationalhymne.
Dieser prachtvolle, mit
grandioso
überschriebene Schluss
hat auch eine symbolische
Bedeutung: Nach zehn
Jahrhunderten hat Ungarn
guten Grund, mit Stolz
zurückzublicken und
der Zukunft mitZuversicht
und Optimismus
entgegenzusehen.Die
wunderbare Melodie der
Nationalhymne erscheint
in der Sinfonie auch
vorher schon immer
wieder, wird meist aber
ganz oder teilweise
überdeckt. Sie
durchläuft das Werk
wie ein roter Faden, der
anfangs kaumwahrzunehmen
ist und erst im Verlauf
der Sinfonie immer
deutlicher wird. Am Ende
krönt sie das Werk in
einer letzten
prachtvollen Steigerung,
in der das Orchester den
majestätischen Klang
einer Orgel
annimmt.
Sinfonia
Hungarica,
commissionata dalla banda
ungherese di
Kiskunfelegyahaza, è
dedicata al maestro
Ferenc Jankovski, al
sindaco della citt Jozsef
Ficsor e a Gabriella
Kiss. La prima mondiale,
eseguita dalla banda
Kiskunfelegyhaza si è
tenutaa Budapest il 31
marzo 2001 sotto la
direzione del
compositore.Gli eventi
salienti della storia
dell’Ungheria,
come le guerre ed altri
avvenimenti importanti,
sono tradotti in musica
in questa sinfonia
strutturata in tre
movimenti. Sinfonia
Hungaricavuole anche
essere un omaggio allo
stato ungherese che
festeggia il suo
millennio nel
2001.ATTILA, re
degli Unni, spesso
chiamato “il
flagello di Dio“
è la figura centrale
del primo movimento,
caratterizzato dalla
paura, dalla
minaccia,dall’aggr
essione e dalla crudelt .
Buda, fratello di Attila
è associato ad un tema
più eroico, mentre
Rika, l’amata
moglie, è
rappresentata da una
melodia lirica.
L’eccitante finale
di questo movimento di
apertura illustra la
tanto temuta velocit
delle truppe di Attila
che seminavano paura e
morte.Il secondo
movimento pone
l’accento su
ARPAD, il
fondatore dello Stato
ungherese. Inizia con un
passaggio in stile
atmosferico che evoca la
nonna di Arpad, Emese che
aveva sognato e
predettoil futuro del
nipote. Uno degli
oppositori di Arpad, il
principe bulgaro Zalan,
fu cacciato dopo una
battaglia. In seguito,
Arpad chiamò
ufficialmente il
territorio
“Magyarorszagâ€
.Il movimento finale
prende il nome da
ISTVAN, il re che
portòil cristianesimo
in Ungheria e che fu
incoronato da Papa
Silvestro II il 1
gennaio, 1001. Un inizio
solenne prelude ad un
passaggio bellico
accentuato da rumori
imponenti; questo a
simboleggiare
l’atroce fine del
pagano Koppany il cui
corpo futagliato in
quattro pezzi e inviato
ai quattro castelli del
paese come monito. Dopo
un intermezzo quieto,
quasi religioso, viene
presentato l’Inno
nazionale ungherese. In
questo ampio e grandioso
finale riecheggia
l’orgoglio
dell’Ungheria
nelricordare il suo
passato e la fiducia con
la quale si proietta al
futuro.Lo stupendo tema
dell’Inno
nazionale ungherese è
proposto nell’arco
dell’intera
sinfonia. E’
però spesso
parzialmente nascosto e
usato come filo
conduttore, appena
riconoscibileall’i
nizio ma sempre più
ovvio quando la sinfonia
si avvicina al suo
finale. A conclusione
della sinfonia, il
sublime inno conduce la
banda in
un’apoteosi
finale, facendo apparire
l’organico
strumentale come un
maestoso organo.

Nordanvind
is a tour de force
symphonic rhapsody that
is built on three
Scandinavian folk songs.
Composer Carl Strommen
has composed these
Viking-influenced
melodies into a concert
setting that brings out
all of the history of the
Scandinavian people. The
piece is at times bold
and aggressive, at other
times beautiful. Carl
employs all of the
instrumental colors of
the concert band to
create a new work for
more advanced
ensembles. Modern
Scandinavians are
descendants of the
Vikings, an adventuresome
people who were known for
their love of the sea,
their naval prowess, and
as fierce fighters . The
Scandinavian Vikings were
warriors from Denmark,
Norway, and Sweden who
traded, raided and
settled in various parts
of Europe, Russia, the
North Atlantic islands,
and the northeastern
coast of North America
.Starting around 1850,
over one million Swedes
left their homeland for
the United States in
search of religious
freedom and open farm
land . Augustana College
was founded in 1860 by
graduates of Swedish
universities and is
located on the
Mississippi River in Rock
Island, Illinois . Home
of the
“Vikings,â€
Augustana College is the
oldest Swedish- American
institution of higher
learning in the United
States . This powerful
and lively piece takes
inspiration from Swedish
history and from Swedish
folk songs and hymns
.Havsdrake (Dragon of the
Sea)The Nordanvind or
“North Windâ€
blows a cold wind during
a journey of a group of
courageous Viking rowers
. The
“Dragon-shipâ€
or long ships designed
for raiding and war was a
sophisticated, fast ship
able to navigate in very
shallow water . To
musically portray these
magnificent seafaring
vessels, the director is
encouraged to use an
Ocean Drum (or a rain
stick) during the
introduction . Wind
players may consider
blowing air through their
instruments to suggest
the North wind . Adding
men’s voices to
accompany the haunting
low brass and percussive
“rowerâ€
sounds can be helpful in
creating the dark and
ominous portrayal of
Viking adventurers
.Slangpolska efter Byss -
KalleIn Sweden, a
“polska†is a
partner dance where the
dancers spin each other
(släng in Swedish
“to sling or
tossâ€) .
Slangpolska efter Byss -
Kalle is attributed to
Byss-Kalle, who was a
notable Swedish folk
musician, specifically a
nyckelharpa player .
Slangpolska efter Byss -
Kalle is a traditional
“polskaâ€
dance song most often
played on the Nyckelharpa
or keyed fiddle and is
commonly heard in pubs
and at festive events
throughout Sweden .
Approximately 10,000
nyckelharpa players live
in Sweden today, and the
Swedish and the American
Nyckelharpa Associations
are dedicated to this
Swedish National
instrument . The director
is encouraged to share
video and audio examples
of the nyckelharpa
playing the original
Slangpolska efter Byss -
Kalle .Tryggare Kan Ingen
Vara (Children of the
Heavenly Father)Tryggare
Kan Ingen Vara Is a
traditional Swedish
melody, possibly of
German roots, and was
believed to be arranged
as a hymn by the Swedish
hymn writer, Karolina
Wilhelmina Sandell-Berg
(1832–1903) . As a
daughter of a Swedish
Lutheran minister, she
began writing poems as a
teenager and is said to
have written over 1,700
different texts . There
are two different
accounts as to the
inspiration for this hymn
. The first story is that
Lina (as she was called)
wrote the hymn to honor
her father and to say
thank you to him for
raising her and
protecting her . A second
belief is of her
witnessing the tragic
death of her father . She
and her father were on a
boat, when a wave threw
her father overboard . It
was said that the
profound effect of
watching her father drown
is what caused Lina to
write the text to this
hymn . Although this is a
treasured song to people
of Swedish descent
everywhere, it speaks to
all people about a father
tending and nourishing
his children, and
protecting them from evil

The Book of
Urizen is a work for
concert band, solo
soprano, and a male
narrator in which sound
collages of religious
expressions are used. The
piece is inspired by the
compelling visionary poem
of the same name (which
the poet
illustratedhimself) by
the Englishman William
Blake (1757-1827), who
occupies a unique
position in western
literature and the visual
arts. He was not just a
poet and a writer, but he
was also a graphic
artist, a painter, an
illustrator, a
spiritualist, areligious
visionary, and a mystic
philosopher. For the
performance of this work,
a professional sound
system, including two
microphones and a CD
player, is needed. The
three sound collages are
three separate tracks on
the enclosed CD and can
beplayed easily at the
right moment. The Book
of Urizen bears
resemblance to Genesis
and Exodus, of which the
contents form the basis
of the Christian, Jewish,
and Islamic faith. Blake
adhered to the principle
that all religions are in
fact one,and that deities
reside in human beings.
In The Book of
Urizen this is
represented in “The
Net of Religion,â€
which is spanned over the
earth by Urizen. The
sound collages, compiled
by Jacob de Haan in the
studio, find their origin
inJerusalem, the Holy
City, where the
afore-mentioned faiths
“come
together.†In the
first movement of
this composition, The
Vision, Urizen
prepares his vision of
the world, and he
presents this to the
“Eternals.â€
His vision is
rejected,and Urizen locks
himself up in his own
abstract world. When he
does emerge again, he is
confronted with rage by
the gathered Eternals.
Urizen flees the wrath of
the Eternals, “the
flames of eternal
fury,†and enwombs
himself in his own world.
Whenthe Eternals see
Urizen in his
“stony
sleep,†they wonder
if this is death. The
blacksmith Los is torn by
grief because of the
isolation of Urizen. It
brings him to rouse his
fires, prepare his forge,
and to give
Urizen’s world
concrete form. In
thesecond
movement, The
Creation,
Urizen’s world,
but also man, woman, and
child are created. Los is
horrified with the
appearance of
Urizen’s body. He
mourns and pities Urizen,
and from his blood a
female form comes into
being, with thename
Enitharmon. The Eternals,
fearful of the female
form, decide to erect a
tent to obstruct their
view to eternity.
Enitharmon and Los beget
a son, called Orc. Los
baptizes him as a child
of the “fallen
world.†Orc is fed
at Enitharmon’s
breast,which makes a
girdle of jealousy
restrict Los’
chest. He takes the child
to the top of the
mountain and chains him
down. The cries of Orc
awaken Urizen, who
explores his world
creating instruments of
scientific measurement to
do so. Los encircles
theface of Enitharmon
from the sight of Urizen
and Orc. She then
populates the earth by
giving birth to an
enormous race.The

From the
beginning of the Middle
Ages, we have known
performance practices in
which the duration of the
notes can differ from the
actual notation. In some
cases, binary written
melodies were performed
in a ternary way. This
isalso the case in the
present-day shuffle: the
written quavers are
performed in a long-short
system in which the ratio
is 2:1. In other words,
the performance practice
is based on a triplet
feel. In this
composition,
allingredients of the
shuffle are featured: a
vigorous swing rhythm, a
walking bass, the
successions of thirds in
the accompaniment and the
frequent use of triplets.
To make sure that the
binary written rhythms in
the accompanimentsare
performed in the correct
ternary manner, Peter
Kleine Schaars has
notated the melody themes
in triplets as much as
possible. Thus, this
composition is a very
useful exercise for the
swing development of your
ensemble.Additionally,
the work is a treat to
listen to, so your
audience will really
appreciate this up-tempo
big band like
composition. All ternary
rhythmic cells 17 till 24
pass in revue,
furthermore much
attention had been paid
to acorrect performance
of cell 4 in swing feel.
Al vanaf het
begin van de middeleeuwen
kennen we
uitvoeringspraktijken
waarbij de lengte van de
noten anders kan zijn dan
de daadwerkelijke
notatie. Zo werden in
sommige gevallen binair
uitgeschreven
melodieën ternair
uitgevoerd.Dat is ook het
geval bij de hedendaagse
shuffle: de geschreven
achtsten worden
uitgevoerd in een
lang-kortsysteem waarbij
de verhouding 2:1 geldt.
Oftewel de
uitvoeringspraktijk is
gebaseerd op een
triolenfeel. In deze
compositiekomen alle
ingrediënten van de
shuffle aan bod: een
stevig swingritme, een
walking bass, oplopende
tertsenreeksen in de
begeleiding en veelvuldig
gebruik van triolen. Om
ervoor te zorgen dat de
binair genoteerde
ritmieken in
debegeleidingen op de
juiste ternaire wijze
worden uitgevoerd, heeft
Peter Kleine Schaars de
melodiethema’s
zoveel mogelijk
uitgeschreven in triolen.
Hierdoor is deze
compositie een zeer
bruikbare oefening voor
de swingontwikkelingvan
uw ensemble. Daarnaast is
het werk een feest om
naar te luisteren en zal
het publiek deze uptempo
bigbandachtige compositie
zeker waarderen. Alle
ternaire ritmische cellen
17 tot 24 passeren de
revue, daarnaast is er
veelaandacht voor een
juiste uitvoering van cel
4 in swingfeel.
Seit Beginn des
Mittelalters sind uns
Aufführungspraktiken
bekannt, bei denen die
Dauer der Noten von der
tatsächlichen Notation
abweichen kann. In
einigen Fällen wurden
binär geschriebene
Melodien ternär
gespielt. Dies ist
auchbeim modernen Shuffle
der Fall: Die notierten
Achtelnoten werden in
einem
Lang-Kurz-System“
im Verhältnis 2:1
ausgeführt. Mit
anderen Worten, die
Aufführungspraxis
basiert auf einem
Triolengefühl. In
dieser Komposition sind
alleZutaten des Shuffle
enthalten: ein
kräftiger
Swing-Rhythmus, ein
Walking Bass, eine
Abfolge von Terzen in der
Begleitung und die
häufige Verwendung von
Triolen. Um
sicherzustellen, dass die
binär geschriebenen
Rhythmen in
denBegleitungen ternär
ausgeführt werden, hat
Peter Kleine Schaars die
Melodiethemen so weit wie
möglich als Triolen
notiert. Daher eignet
sich diese Komposition
zum Ãœben des Swings.
Darüber hinaus hört

This piece is a
loving tribute to Mr.
Herrick and his amazing
contribution to the
students of Lynden for
over thirty years. The
music begins with a
spirited section
oscillating between 6/8
and 2/4 time. It should
maintain a pulsing
feeling throughout. The
main melody appears at m.
25 and has a lilting,
reminiscing quality to
it. After some further
development, it moves to
a B-section at m. 41 with
some warm brass passages.
The woodwinds should soar
over the top with their
counter line. The lower
voices take over the
melody at m. 59. The
harmony becomes more
discordant at m. 71 with
passages trading between
the brass and woodwinds.
This tension
releases into a slow
section that features a
flowing, heartfelt
melody. This builds to
the big moment at m. 112.
The timpani ushers us
back to the 6/8, 2/4
section. The melody is
now accompanied by some
flowing counterpoint at
m. 153 which leads to the
B-section again at m.

woodwinds take the lead
and the brass provide the
counter line. A final big
moment at m. 194 is the
culmination and high

Sinfonia
Hungarica is a
three-movement symphony
that depicts the history
of Hungary. All three
movements were inspired
by historical key
figures, wars, and other
important events from
this country. This
symphony is a celebration
of Hungary’s
millennium in
2001.ATTILA, King of the
Huns, often named
“The scourge of
God,†is the
central figure of the
first movement, mainly
characterized by fear,
threat, aggression, and
cruelty. Attila’s
brother, Buda, however,
has a more heroic theme,
while his beloved wife,
Rika, has a lyrical
melody. The exciting
ending of this opening
movement illustrates the
dreaded speed of
Attila’s troops:
they pursued their
victims and killed them
all!
Die
Sinfonie in drei
Sätzen ist eine
musikalische Schilderung
der Geschichte Ungarns.
Alle drei Sätze haben
bedeutende historische
Persönlichkeiten und
Schlüsselereignisse
aus der Landesgeschichte
- wie etwa Kriege - zum
Inhalt. Das Werk wurde
zuUngarns
Tausendjahrfeier im Jahr
2001
geschrieben.Attila
, König der Hunnen,
oftmals auch die
Geißel Gottes genannt,
ist die zentrale Gestalt
des ersten Satzes; in
seiner musikalischen
Beschreibung sind
Aggressivität und
Grausamkeit, die vonihm
ausgehende Bedrohung und
ihm entgegengebrachte
Furcht spürbar.
Daneben erscheinen das
heroischer klingende
Thema von Buda,
Attilas Bruder, und das
lyrische von Rika,
seiner zärtlich
geliebten Frau. Der
aufpeitschende Schluss
desSatzes ist Sinnbild
für die gefürchtete
Schnelligkeit von Attilas
Truppen, mit der sie ihre
Opfer eingeholt und ohne
Ausnahme getötet
haben.Im Mittelpunkt des
zweiten Satzes steht
Arpad, der
eigentliche Begründer
des ungarischen Staates.
Eineatmosphärisch
klingende Einleitung
beschwört
Emese, die
Großmutter Arpads,
herauf, die im Traum
seine Bestimmung
vorhergesehen hatte. Er
schlug seinen Gegner, den
Prinzen Zalan von
Bulgarien, im Kampf in
die Flucht und gab dem
Land denNamen
Magyarorszag.Das Finale
ist nach Istvan
benannt, dem König,
der in Ungarn das
Christentum einführte
und am ersten Januar 1001
durch Papst Sylvester II.
gekrönt wurde. Ein
feierlicher Anfang leitet
über in einen an
Kriegsgetümmelerinnern
den Abschnitt, der in
lärmendem Getöse
endet. Es steht für
das Ende des Heiden
Koppany, dessen
Körper gevierteilt und
als abschreckendes
Beispiel an die vier
Burgen des Landes gesandt
wurde. Ein ruhiges,
beinahe religiös
wirkendesZwischenspiel
mündet in die
ungarische Nationalhymne.
Dieser prachtvolle, mit
grandioso
überschriebene Schluss
hat auch eine symbolische
Bedeutung: Nach zehn
Jahrhunderten hat Ungarn
guten Grund, mit Stolz
zurückzublicken und
der Zukunft mitZuversicht
und Optimismus
entgegenzusehen.Die
wunderbare Melodie der
Nationalhymne erscheint
in der Sinfonie auch
vorher schon immer
wieder, wird meist aber
ganz oder teilweise
überdeckt. Sie
durchläuft das Werk
wie ein roter Faden, der
anfangs kaumwahrzunehmen
ist und erst im Verlauf
der Sinfonie immer
deutlicher wird. Am Ende
krönt sie das Werk in
einer letzten
prachtvollen Steigerung,
in der das Orchester den
majestätischen Klang
einer Orgel
annimmt.
Sinfon
ia Hungarica,
commissionata dalla banda
ungherese di
Kiskunfelegyahaza, è
dedicata al maestro
Ferenc Jankovski, al
sindaco della citt Jozsef
Ficsor e a Gabriella
Kiss. La prima mondiale,
eseguita dalla banda
Kiskunfelegyhaza si è
tenutaa Budapest il 31
marzo 2001 sotto la
direzione del
compositore.Gli eventi
salienti della storia
dell’Ungheria,
come le guerre ed altri
avvenimenti importanti,
sono tradotti in musica
in questa sinfonia
strutturata in tre
movimenti. Sinfonia
Hungaricavuole anche
essere un omaggio allo
stato ungherese che
festeggia il suo
millennio nel
2001.ATTILA, re
degli Unni, spesso
chiamato “il
flagello di Dio“
è la figura centrale
del primo movimento,
caratterizzato dalla
paura, dalla
minaccia,dall’aggr
essione e dalla crudelt .
Buda, fratello di Attila
è associato ad un tema
più eroico, mentre
Rika, l’amata
moglie, è
rappresentata da una
melodia lirica.
L’eccitante finale
di questo movimento di
apertura illustra la
tanto temuta velocit
delle truppe di Attila
che seminavano paura e
morte.Il secondo
movimento pone
l’accento su
ARPAD, il
fondatore dello Stato
ungherese. Inizia con un
passaggio in stile
atmosferico che evoca la
nonna di Arpad, Emese che
aveva sognato e
predettoil futuro del
nipote. Uno degli
oppositori di Arpad, il
principe bulgaro Zalan,
fu cacciato dopo una
battaglia. In seguito,
Arpad chiamò
ufficialmente il
territorio
“Magyarorszagâ€
.Il movimento finale
prende il nome da
ISTVAN, il re che
portòil cristianesimo
in Ungheria e che fu
incoronato da Papa
Silvestro II il 1
gennaio, 1001. Un inizio
solenne prelude ad un
passaggio bellico
accentuato da rumori
imponenti; questo a
simboleggiare
l’atroce fine del
pagano Koppany il cui
corpo futagliato in
quattro pezzi e inviato
ai quattro castelli del
paese come monito. Dopo
un intermezzo quieto,
quasi religioso, viene
presentato l’Inno
nazionale ungherese. In
questo ampio e grandioso
finale riecheggia
l’orgoglio
dell’Ungheria
nelricordare il suo
passato e la fiducia con
la quale si proietta al
futuro.Lo stupendo tema
dell’Inno
nazionale ungherese è
proposto nell’arco
dell’intera
sinfonia. E’
però spesso
parzialmente nascosto e
usato come filo
conduttore, appena
riconoscibileall’i
nizio ma sempre più
ovvio quando la sinfonia
si avvicina al suo
finale. A conclusione
della sinfonia, il
sublime inno conduce la
banda in
un’apoteosi
finale, facendo apparire
l’organico
strumentale come un
maestoso organo.

collaborated on a
commission in 2006, and I
was immediately taken by
the community and the
music program in Lynden.
It is truly one of the
most beautiful places in
the country and full of
musical inspiration at
every turn.
This piece is a
loving tribute to Mr.
Herrick and his amazing
contribution to the
students of Lynden for
over thirty years. The
music begins with a
spirited section
oscillating between 6/8
and 2/4 time. It should
maintain a pulsing
feeling throughout. The
main melody appears at m.
25 and has a lilting,
reminiscing quality to
it. After some further
development, it moves to
a B-section at m. 41 with
some warm brass passages.
The woodwinds should soar
over the top with their
counter line. The lower
voices take over the
melody at m. 59. The
harmony becomes more
discordant at m. 71 with
passages trading between
the brass and woodwinds.
This tension
releases into a slow
section that features a
flowing, heartfelt
melody. This builds to
the big moment at m. 112.
The timpani ushers us
back to the 6/8, 2/4
section. The melody is
now accompanied by some
flowing counterpoint at
m. 153 which leads to the
B-section again at m.
169. This time the
woodwinds take the lead
and the brass provide the
counter line. A final big
moment at m. 194 is the
culmination and high
point of the composition.
A brief fast section puts
a bow on the piece for a
rousing
finale.

The hymn Nun
ruhen alle Wälder (Now
All Forests Rest),
arranged by J.S. Bach
(No. 6, So sei nun,
Seele, deine, from
Cantata BWV 13), is a
guiding light throughout
this four-movement
composition. Pütz
wrote this work as a
musical outcry against
the wilful, profit-driven
destruction of our
environment. When Bach
used the word
“ruhen†(to
rest) over 350 years ago,
it probably had a
different nuance from the
meaning it has today. At
the beginning of the 21st
century - the so-called
age of progress -
“nun ruhen alle
Wälder†should
mean “now all
forests die†.
Massive industrialization
and globalization,
coupled with pure greed,
corruption, political
scandals, an
ever-wideninggap between
the rich and poor, and
other such senseless
human actions, are
pushing our blue planet
closer and closer to the
point of no return. This
work is not intended to
be a ranting accusation.
It should remind us of
the beauty and harmony
that can exist all around
us in nature, if we take
care of it. Pütz
hopes that this will, one
day, help put a greater
emphasis on
humanity’s
survival, and coexistence
with nature rather than
the exploitation
described earlier. All
four texts were created
by Australian poet Graeme
King, whose works were
discovered by Pütz,
by chance on the
internet. Pütz was
especially captivated by
King’s clarity,
and intrigued by the
possibilities of adapting
and melding the strong
rhythmical structure of
King’s writing
with his own musical
language. The four
movements are as follows:
1. Tears of Nature 2.

De hymne Nun
ruhen alle Wälder,
gearrangeerd door J.S.
Bach (nr. 6, So sei nun,
Seele, deine, uit cantate

in deze vierdelige

schreef het werk als een
muzikaal protest tegen de
moedwillige,op winstbejag
gebaseerde vernietiging
van ons milieu. Toen Bach
het woord
‘ruhen’
(rusten) meer dan 350
jaar geleden gebruikte,
lag er waarschijnlijk een
andere nuance in dan
tegenwoordig. Aan het
begin van de 21e eeuw -
dezogenaamde eeuw van de
vooruitgang - zou
‘nun ruhen alle
Wälder’ zelfs
kunnen betekenen:
‘nu sterven alle
bossen’. De
grootschalige
industrialisatie en
globalisering, in
combinatie met pure
hebzucht, corruptie,

Pütz hoopt dat er op

uitbuiting. Alle vier de

Die

aus der Landesgeschichte
- wie etwa Kriege - zum

zuUngarns

2001
geschrieben.Attila
, König der Hunnen,
oftmals auch die GeiÃ?el

zentrale Gestalt des
ersten Satzes; in seiner
musikalischen
Beschreibung sind
Aggressivität und
Grausamkeit, die vonihm
ausgehende Bedrohung und
ihm entgegengebrachte
Furcht spürbar.
Daneben erscheinen das
heroischer klingende
Thema von Buda,
Attilas Bruder, und das
lyrische von Rika,
seiner zärtlich
geliebten Frau. Der
aufpeitschende Schluss
desSatzes ist Sinnbild
für die gefürchtete
Schnelligkeit von Attilas

zweiten Satzes steht
Arpad, der
eigentliche Begründer
des ungarischen Staates.
Eineatmosphärisch

herauf, die im Traum
seine Bestimmung
vorhergesehen hatte. Er
schlug seinen Gegner, den
Prinzen Zalan von

Land denNamen

ist nach Istvan

und am ersten Januar 1001

gekrönt wurde. Ein
feierlicher Anfang leitet
über in einen an

Buda, fratello di Attila
è associato ad un tema
più eroico, mentre
Rika, lâ??amata moglie,

Lâ??eccitante finale di
questo movimento di
apertura illustra la
tanto temuta velocit
delle truppe di Attila
che seminavano paura e
morte.Il secondo
movimento pone
lâ??accento su
ARPAD, il
fondatore dello Stato
ungherese. Inizia con un
passaggio in stile
atmosferico che evoca la
nonna di Arpad, Emese che
aveva sognato e
predettoil futuro del
nipote. Uno degli
oppositori di Arpad, il
principe bulgaro Zalan,
fu cacciato dopo una
battaglia. In seguito,
Arpad chiamò
ufficialmente il
territorio
â??Magyarorszagâ?.Il
movimento finale prende
il nome da ISTVAN,
il re che portòil
cristianesimo in Ungheria
e che fu incoronato da
Papa Silvestro II il 1
gennaio, 1001. Un inizio
solenne prelude ad un
passaggio bellico
accentuato da rumori
imponenti; questo a
simboleggiare lâ??atroce
fine del pagano Koppany
il cui corpo futagliato
in quattro pezzi e
inviato ai quattro
castelli del paese come
monito. Dopo un
intermezzo quieto, quasi
religioso, viene
presentato lâ??Inno
nazionale ungherese. In
questo ampio e grandioso
finale riecheggia
lâ??orgoglio
dellâ??Ungheria
nelricordare il suo
passato e la fiducia con
la quale si proietta al
futuro.Lo stupendo tema
dellâ??Inno nazionale
ungherese è proposto
nellâ??arco

Eâ?? però spesso
parzialmente nascosto e
usato come filo

riconoscibileallâ??inizi

quando la sinfonia si

ARPAD, il
fondatore dello Stato
ungherese. Inizia con un
passaggio in stile
atmosferico che evoca la
nonna di Arpad, Emese che
aveva sognato e
predettoil futuro del
nipote. Uno degli
oppositori di Arpad, il
principe bulgaro Zalan,
fu cacciato dopo una
battaglia. In seguito,
Arpad chiamò
ufficialmente il
territorio
“Magyarorszagâ€
.Il movimento finale
prende il nome da
ISTVAN, il re che
portòil cristianesimo
in Ungheria e che fu
incoronato da Papa
Silvestro II il 1
gennaio, 1001. Un inizio
solenne prelude ad un
passaggio bellico
accentuato da rumori
imponenti; questo a
simboleggiare
l’atroce fine del
pagano Koppany il cui
corpo futagliato in
quattro pezzi e inviato
ai quattro castelli del
paese come monito. Dopo
un intermezzo quieto,
quasi religioso, viene
presentato l’Inno
nazionale ungherese. In
questo ampio e grandioso
finale riecheggia
l’orgoglio
dell’Ungheria
nelricordare il suo
passato e la fiducia con
la quale si proietta al
futuro.Lo stupendo tema
dell’Inno
nazionale ungherese è
proposto nell’arco
dell’intera
sinfonia. E’
però spesso
parzialmente nascosto e
usato come filo
conduttore, appena
riconoscibileall’i
nizio ma sempre più
ovvio quando la sinfonia
si avvicina al suo
finale. A conclusione
della sinfonia, il
sublime inno conduce la
banda in
un’apoteosi
finale, facendo apparire
l’organico
strumentale come un
maestoso organo.

The hymn Nun
ruhen alle Walder (Now
All Forests Rest),
arranged by J.S. Bach
(No. 6, So sei nun,
Seele, deine, from
Cantata BWV 13), is a
guiding light throughout
this four-movement
composition. Pütz
wrote this work as a
musical outcry against
the wilful, profit-driven
destruction of our
environment. When Bach
used the word ruhen (to
rest) over 350 years ago,
it probably had a
different nuance from the
meaning it has today. At
the beginning of the 21st
century - the so-called
age of progress - nun
ruhen alle Walder should
mean now all forests die
. Massive
industrialization and
globalization, coupled
with pure greed,
corruption, political
scandals, an
ever-wideninggap between
the rich and poor, and
other such senseless
human actions, are
pushing our blue planet
closer and closer to the
point of no return. This
work is not intended to
be a ranting accusation.
It should remind us of
the beauty and harmony
that can exist all around
us in nature, if we take
care of it. Pütz
hopes that this will, one
day, help put a greater
emphasis on humanity's
survival, and coexistence
with nature rather than
the exploitation
described earlier. All
four texts were created
by Australian poet Graeme
King, whose works were
discovered by Pütz,
by chance on the
internet. Pütz was
especially captivated by
King's clarity, and
intrigued by the
possibilities of adapting
and melding the strong
rhythmical structure of
King's writing with his
own musical language. The
four movements are as
follows: 1. Tears of
Nature 2. Grrrevolution
3. Stand up! 4. Tomorrow
The world premiere of
Four Earth Songs took
place on 7 July 2009 at
the 14th WASBE-Conference

work is dedicated in
friendship to Jouke
Hoekstra, conductor, and
the Frysk Fanfare Orkest

De hymne Nun
ruhen alle Walder,
gearrangeerd door J.S.
Bach (nr. 6, So sei nun,
Seele, deine, uit cantate
BWV 13), is de leidraad
in deze vierdelige
compositie. Putz schreef
het werk als een muzikaal
protest tegen de
moedwillige,op winstbejag
gebaseerde vernietiging
van ons milieu. Toen Bach
het woord 'ruhen'
(rusten) meer dan 350
jaar geleden gebruikte,
lag er waarschijnlijk een
andere nuance in dan
tegenwoordig. Aan het
begin van de 21e eeuw -
dezogenaamde eeuw van de
vooruitgang - zou 'nun
ruhen alle Walder' zelfs
kunnen betekenen: 'nu
sterven alle bossen'. De
grootschalige
industrialisatie en
globalisering, in
combinatie met pure
hebzucht, corruptie,
politieke schandalen,een
groeiende kloof tussen
arm en rijk, en andere
dwaze menselijke
verrichtingen, brengen
onze blauwe planeet
steeds verder in de
problemen, tot er
misschien geen weg terug
meer is. Dit werk is niet
bedoeld als een
beschuldigendetirade. Het
moet ons wijzen op de
schoonheid en harmonie
die in de natuur om ons
heen kan bestaan, als we
er goed voor zorgen. Putz
hoopt dat er op een dag
meer nadruk gelegd zal
worden op het overleven
van de mensheid
invreedzame co-existentie
met de natuur, zonder de
eerdergenoemde
uitbuiting. Alle vier de
teksten zijn geschreven
door de Australische
dichter Graeme King,
wiens werk Putz bij
toeval tegenkwam op het
internet. Hij werd
getroffendoor Kings
helderheid en raakte
geintrigeerd door de
mogelijkheid de sterke
ritmische structuur van
Kings teksten om te

muzikale taal. De vier

Der
Choral Nun ruhen alle
Walder, hier in einer
Bearbeitung von J.S. Bach
(Nr. 6 So sei nun, Seele,
deine aus der Kantate BWV
13), zieht sich wie ein
roter Faden durch diese
viersatzige Komposition,
die als musikalischer
Aufschrei (Anfang!) gegen
die mutwillige,
profitgesteuerte
Zerstorung unserer Umwelt
gedacht ist. Sicher hatte
das Wort ruhen vor
über 350 Jahren,
als der Liedtext
entstand, eine andere
Bedeutung als heute. Zu
Beginn des 21.
Jahrhunderts, im
sogenannten Zeitalter des
Fortschritts,
müsste es leider
wohl eher heissen: Nun

Massive
Industrialisierung,

Unfahigkeit,krasse

one of the most powerful

This piece was
commissioned by the
‘Concert Band
Vlamertinge’ and
is a plea for peace: the
title translates as
‘Peace on
Earth’. This is
expressed by means of the
vocal contribution
expected from the
performers. In various
places of the piece you
can recognize, the words
‘Et In Terra
Pax’ - an appeal
for peace - at first
jumbled together but
later more rhythmically
structured, developing
into synchronized massed
voices.The work starts
with a pentatonic theme
based on the notes D, E,
G, A and C (taken from
‘ConCErtbAnD
VlAmErtinGE’ and
the name of the
conductor, NiCk
VAnDEnDriessChe). A
somewhat sad melody is
developed during an
orchestral climax which
leads to the
firstexplosion of sound
(measure 62 onwards).
Suddenly the opening
measures are recaptured,
albeit with a differently
colored sound: the words
‘Et In Terra
Pax’ bring the
first movement to a
close. A restless Allegro
follows which abruptly
stops and is replaced by
a calming cho-rale-like
passage. A narrator reads
aloud the poem
‘Sonnet’ by
the young poet Charles
Hamilton Sorley, who was
killed during World War
I. This poem fittingly
puts into words the
cruelty and senselessness
of war. After the
expanded recapitulation
of the allegro, the
broad, almost infinite
atmosphere of the
beginning returns.
Clarinet and English horn
play the pentatonic
opening theme once more,
this time broadly, while
the words ‘Et In
Terra... Pax’ are
repeated again and again
by the rest of the
orchestra.The composer
has purposely avoided all
forms of aggression and
bombastic sounds
regularly used in works
about war. Fear of
violence and destruction
can be heard and felt
during the allegro
passages. The charged
opening makes way in the
end for hope: May
peacefulness replace
cruelty in everyday life,
too.
Dieses Werk
wurde im Auftrag der
Concert Band Vlamertinge
geschrieben und ist ein
Plädoyer an den
Frieden: Der Titel
bedeutet dann auch
‘Frieden auf
Erden’. Dies kommt
unter anderem im vokalen
Anteil der
Ausführenden zum
Ausdruck. An
verschiedenenStellen des
Werkes erklingen, anfangs
durcheinander dann zu
einem rhythmischen und
strukturierten
Synchrongesang vereint,
die Worte ‘Et In
Terra Pax’ wie ein
flehendes Gebet für
den Frieden.
Ein
pentatonisches Thema
formt den Anfang dieses
Werkes, basierend auf den
Noten D, E, G, A, und C,
die dem Namen:
‘ConCErtbAnD
VlAmErtingE’ und
dem Namen des Dirigenten
NiCk VAnDEnDriessChe
entstammen. Während
der orchestralen Klimax,
die zu einemersten
Klangausbruch führt
(ab Takt 62), entsteht
eine etwas traurige
Melodie. Plötzlich
werden dann die
Eingangstakte
wiederaufgenommen, wenn
auch mit einer
veränderten
Klangfarbe; die Worte
‘Et In Terra
Pax’ runden den
ersten Teil daraufhin ab.
Esfolgt ein unruhiges
Allegro, das
überraschend durch
eine Choralartigen
Passage voller Ruhe
unterbrochen wird. Eine
Sprechstimme liest
währenddessen das
Gedicht Sonnet des
jungen Dichters Charles
Hamilton Sorley vor, der
im ersten Weltkriegfiel.
Es findet für die
Grausamkeit und
Sinnlosigkeit des Krieges
die passenden Worte.
Nachdem das Allegro,
diesmal mit einigen
Ausbreitungen, wiederholt
wird, kehrt die weite,
beinahe unendliche
Atmosphäre des Beginns
wieder zurück.
Klarinettenspielen
zusammen mit einem
Englischhorn das
pentatonische
Eingangsthema ein letztes
Mal in ausgebreiteter
Fassung, wobei das
“Et In Terra
Pax’ durch den
Rest des Orchesters stets
wiederholt wird.Der
Komponist hat bewusst auf
jegliche Form der
Aggression oder
bombastischen Vertonung,
die in so vielen Werken
über den Krieg zu
finden ist, vermieden.
Dennoch ist die Angst vor
Gewalt und Zerstörung
vor allem in den
Allegro-Passagen deutlich
zuhören und zu
fühlen. Am Ende macht
die anfängliche
Spannung jedoch der
Hoffnung Platz: Möge
die Friedlichkeit auch im
