Three Small Pieces for String Quartet. Par AYRES RICHARD. Richard Ayres’ Three Small Pieces for String Quartet each have distinct characters that illustrate the composer’s vivid imagination and skill for combining energetic, touching and sometimes wild music. The first piece is a short tribute to the Romanian singer Maria Tanase, a long forgotten performer who was once a star in her country. The second is a rough, fast and folk-like section in 11/16 time and the third, subtitled “Countess Eva von Spendu (on a horse) gallops through the forest (pausing four times to contemplate natural splendour)”, contains (in the words of the composer) “hunting gallops, a Feldmanesque 19 bar blues, some devilish fiddling, moments of repose and contemplation, and a lyrical finale.”/ Recueil / Quatuor à Cordes

Oratorienfragment. Teil I: Die Geburt Christi - Teil Ii: Das Leiden Christi. Par MENDELSSOHN-BARTHOLDY FELIX. Mendelssohns unfinished 3rd oratorio in its first critical edition. The parts 'Die Geburt Christi' and 'Das Leiden Christi' are presented with full orchestration. In 1852, five years after Mendelsohn’s death, two independently-performable fragments of an unfinished oratorio were published under the title 'Christus'. The second fragment, 'The Suffering of Jesus', comes from the middle of the Passion story: the scene 'Jesus before Pilot' is presented with rapid, dramatic alternation between the recitatives of the evangelist [tenor] and choruses of the people. A contemplative choral movement closes the fragment. / Oratorio / Répertoire / Solistes STBB, Choeur SATTBB, 2 Flûtes Traversière

This musical Christmas card is full of excitement and anticipation in the opening gestures and then surrenders to a contemplative contrast in the middle. It is a nice change to see such variety provided in a children's piece andthe part-writing is beautifully crafted. Optional percussion is a real plus on this festive piece.

Concerto for Piano and Orchestra - Arranged on basis of the Cantata Yellow River. Par XINGHAI XIAN. Rachmaninoff and Tchaikovsky may have influenced it and Lang Lang has included it in his repertoire: the piano concerto 'Yellow River' features a brilliant virtuoso solo part, expressiveness and drama, contemplation, great pathos and wit. Based on the cantata of the same name by the famous Chinese composer Xian Xinghai (1905-1945), the concerto, arranged by Yin Chengzong among others, is similarly characterized by the combination of Chinese folk music and elements of the Peking Opera, with traditional European art music. 'Yellow River', the cradle of Chinese civilization and a symbol of the spirit of the Chinese people, can be compared to the 'Moldau' from Smetana's symphonic poem 'Má Vlast'.

Programme Note During the composition of my tenth string quartet a flower-name høst-tidløs came to my mind - and it would not me leave again. [høsttidløs is actually autumn crocus in English but the composer prefers harvest-timeless to maintain some of the associations of the Danish flower-name red.] The paradoxical union of a seasonal time (harvest) and no-time-at-all was a good fit to the sections of the work that I had composed at that time and I decided to tentatively stick to that title for the work-in-progress and now having finished the piece I can say that is is still a fitting title - and it stands. Enough about the title I will go onto describe the music a somewhat more precarious project. My tenth string quartet is probably the most basic string quartet that I have composed; melodically - and in sound - it employs the naturally based overtones and undertones* (perceived at major and minor respectively) and rhythmically it is based on growth on the principles of the Golden Section and the structure itself contrasts abundance and exuberance with sections of immobility and contemplation. However Melos melody is definitely the dominating aspect of my STRING QUARTET NO. 10; behind even the most rhythmically complex or pure sonoric sections lies a firm - if hidden - basis of melodic or polyphonic ideas. The work was composed in 2004-2005 for the Kroger Quartet.
