Parmi les compositeurs britanniques modernes les plus populaires et les plus importants, Gustav Holst (1874-1934) était un véritable excentrique, passionné d'enthousiasme étrange et de rêveries mystiques. Sa spectaculaire suite symphonique The Planets, créée pour la première fois en 1918, a établi sa réputation internationale et reste un incontournable du répertoire orchestral à ce jour.Marquée pour d'énormes forces orchestrales et un chœur sans paroles, l'œuvre est divisée en sept mouvements, la musique de chacun incarnant les qualités astrologiques et mystiques d'une autre planète. De la marche menaçante et implacable de Mars, the Bringer of War aux robustes festivités de Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity et au silence étrange et surnaturel de Neptune, the Mystic , le balayage émotionnel et les techniques innovantes du suite ont ravi et enthousiasmé son vaste public depuis ses débuts spectaculaires. Les musiciens et les mélomanes voudront posséder cette partition complète faisant autorité, joliment publiée et peu coûteuse.

Written as a commission by the Stichting de Inrichting foundation of Wijk bij Duurstede (the Netherlands) Rob Goorhuis Requiem voor de mens (Requiem for Man) on lyrics by André van Zwieten was composed in the year 2001. This work for choir andwind-band greatly impressed the audience whilst its composer remained obsessed by its war theme. When he subsequently heard that the Rundfunk Blasorchester from the German town of Leipzig -a place not far from Colditz - was to dedicate a CDto his work Rob Goorhuis got the idea to process some of the themes from his Requiem for Man into an instrumental composition about the famous Colditz castle. a place still bearing the scars of war. From 1933 to 1934 the castle was aSchutzhaftlager. During the Second World War it was used as a prison for senior officers. From this prison many escapes were undertaken which even resulted in the castle being nicknamed The Escape School. In the seventies a television-seriesabout this period made the castle very well-known with the public at large.The despondent tone of the opening theme underscores the sadness caused by wars and violence. Nevertheless the works ending is hopeful and triumphant. Peace iscelebrated but with the hope for a lasting peace sadly remaining a topical issue to the present moment.

During the eighteenth century a person called 'the Dance Master' made his appearance in Ireland. He was a travelling dance-teacher who moved from one village to another to teach the people there how to dance. They were often flamboyant personalities gorgeously dressed and holding a staff in one hand. In order to teach their pupils the difference between their right and left leg the dance master used to tie a small bunch of straw or hay to their leg and then would order them to either lift their 'hay-leg' or their 'straw-leg'. The dancing masters used to stay in one particular village for about six weeks (if they were not claimed by a neighbouringvillage) after which they continued their journey. Having a famous dance master gave a village a certain distinction and did not seldom lead to boasting and pride. Also on account of the popularity of Celtic music in general at the moment William Vean was inspired to writing 'The Irish Dance Master'. He 'teaches' you two dances the Reel and the Jig. In between these two dances there is a short breathing space during which a traditional Irish rhythm can be enjoyed.

This work in two movements was written for the 50th anniversary of ?Harmonie St. Cecilia? in Oudenburg Belgium and is dedicated to its conductor Arne Wyntin.The first part is rather quiet and pastoral in character and is written in a gently rocking 12/8 time. The tranquility of the area around the medieval town of Oudenburg a rustic region not far from the North Sea is expressed in a striking fashion. After a beautiful orchestral climax the second part begins which is inspired by the Roman past of Oudenburg. A somewhat oppressive and impending introduction leads to the musical reflection of an army parade: Oudenburg was a so-called ?castellum ? and the remains ofthe fortress are still visible in the current town plan. A more dynamic passage follows featuring the low brass. After that the solemn rhythm of the parade is recaptured culminating in a triumphant ending.
