For Percussion and Orchestra. Composed by Poul Ruders. Music Sales America. Classical. Score. Edition Wilhelm Hansen #KP00076. Published by Edition Wilhelm Hansen (HL.14021749).

Poul Ruders' MONODRAMA, dedicated to percussion virtuoso Gert Sorensen and commissioned by The Danish Radio, was written in New York in the early winter 1988 and makes the centre as well as the middle of the tri-part opus called The Drama Trilogy. All three works employ the word Drama in their title, Drama in the original meaning of the word: event. No specified event, but a premonition or omen rather, that something is afoot, a free Drama-offer from which anyone may populate the stage of his private, inner theatre.The first piece of the series DRAMAPHONIA for piano and chamber ensemble was premiered in London in the spring of 1988 by Lontano and Poul Rosenbaum. This piece is emotionally and rhythmically unstable as opposed to MONODRAMA (single-event) which is modelled from the archetypal idea of obtaining accomplishment from nothingness. The 31 instruments of the orchestra (no flutes and no violins or violas) are more or less wrapped around the solo-part to become one with that and thus emerge as one, gigantic percussion instrument. The rhythmical patterns of the orchestral part more or less follow those of the percussionpart, a single-event also on the rhythmical level.After 20 minutes climbing toward the peak of rage, the composition casts its slough and is reborn into a chorale-like march and the struggle between totally depopulated sound-scapes and ferociously roaring sub-oceanic storms begin and the piece paces toward the abyss; rage becomes despondency, New Rage as opposed to New Age, the spineless worshipper of beauty without pain.The third instalment of the DRAMA TRILOGY, the cello concerto POLYDRAMA will be premiered in Stockholm May 1990.MONODRAMA lasts aprox. 32 minutes.Poul Ruders.

Concert Band/Harmonie - Grade 3

SKU: BT.GOB-000438-140

Composed by Rob Goorhuis. Score Only. 20 pages. Gobelin Music Publications #GOB 000438-140. Published by Gobelin Music Publications (BT.GOB-000438-140).

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.

In 2001 schreef Rob Goorhuis, op teksten van André van Zwieten het Requiem voor de Mens, in opdracht van de Stichting de Inrichting uit Wijk bij Duurstede.
Dit werk voor koor en harmonie-orkest maakte grote indruk op het publiek, terwijl decomponist bleef geobsedeerd door het oorlogs thema.

Toen hij later hoorde dat het Rundfunk Blasorchester uit de Duitse stad Leipzig, een plaats niet ver van Colditz, gevraagd was om een cd te wijden aan zijn werk, kreeg Rob Goorhuis het ideeom enkele van de themas uit zijn Requiem voor de Mens te verwerken tot een instrumentale compositie over de beroemde kasteel Colditz, een plaats met nog steeds de littekens van de oorlog.
Het kasteel van Colditz heeft in de historie eenbelangrijke rol gespeeld. Het eeuwenoude kasteel overleefde vele veldslagen en oorlogen. In de Tweede Wereldoorlog diende het kasteel zelfs als gevangenis voor geallieerde officieren. Het aantal ontsnappingen was echter talrijk en de geromantiseerdeBritse TV-serie uit de jaren zeventig over dat onderwerp gaf het kasteel een grote bekendheid.
Het driedelige werk beschrijft de periode voor, tijdens en na de Tweede Wereldoorlog.

De angst voor dat wat staat te gebeuren en het verdrietvan jaren van oorlog in het kalme sfeervolle eerste deel. Vervolgens de hoop op beter en positievere geluiden in het tweede en derde deel. Vooral het derde flitsende deel houdt de hoop op betere tijden springlevend.
