Known professionally as Hauschka, composer Volker Bertelmann has catapulted himself into the top tier of instrumental composers. This is proven, not least, by the Oscar nomination which he received for his soundtrack to the2016 film Lion.

In his latest album A Different Forest, released on 8 February 2019 at Sony Classical, Hauschka takes the forest as a contrast to the urban life. The names of the pieces, such as 'Talking To My Father',testify equally that those natural experiences are metaphorical of the important things in life.

For this album Hauschka renounces entirely his prepared Piano. The existential questions which he musically poses, however,donot lose their intensity, but rather, without the alienation by electronic elements, gain urgency.

In addition to the 13 LP tracks, this songbook for Piano also contains three exclusive arrangements of previouslyunreleased songs: 'Collecting Stones', 'Loosing Directions' and 'Misty Day'.

Volker Bertelmann aka Hauschka lanceerde zichzelf naar top van de instrumeantele componisten, niet in het minste door zijn oscar-nominatie die hij ontving voor zijn soundtrack bij de film Lion. In zijn laatste album A Different Forest - uitgebracht op 8 februari 2019 - gebruikt hij het bos als een contrast met het stadsleven.

Titels zoals Talking To My Father tonen dat deze ervaringen in de natuur metaforen zijn voor belangrijke gebeurtenissen in het leven. Dit songbook voor piano bevat, naast de 13 nummers van de LP, eneneens 3 exclusieve bewerkingen van tot nu onuitgebrachte nummers: Collecting Stones, Losing Directions and Misty Day.

Volker Bertelmann alias Hauschka hat sich mittlerweile in die oberste Riege der Instrumentalkomponisten katapultiert. Dies beweist nicht zuletzt die Oscar-Nominierung, die er für seinen Soundtrack zum Film Lion“ erhielt. In seinem neusten Album A Different Forest“ am 08. Februar 2019 bei Sony Classical erschienen nimmt er sich dem Wald als Kontrastraum zum städtischen Leben an. Titelnamen wie Talking To My Father bezeugen gleichermaßen, dass jene Naturerfahrungen metaphorisch für die wichtigen Dinge des Lebens stehen.
Für dieses Album verzichtet Hauschka gänzlich auf sein präpariertes Klavier. Die existentiellen Fragen, denen er sich musikalisch stellt, verlieren hierdurch aber nicht an Intensität, sondern gewinnen ohne die Verfremdung durch elektronische Elemente vielmehr an Dringlichkeit.
Dieses Songbook für Klavier enthält neben den 13 Titeln der LP drei exklusive Arrangements bisher unveröffentlichter Songs: Collecting Stones, Losing Directions und Misty Day.

Volker Bertelmann, également connu sous le nom de Hauschka, s'est retrouvé au premier rang des compositieurs instrumentaux : ceci a été confirmé par sa nomination aux Oscars pour la bande-originale du film Lion. Dans son dernier album « A Different Forest », sorti le 8 février 2019, la forêt fait usage de contaste avec la vie urbaine.

Des titres tels que Talking to My Father déclarent de la même façon que ces expériences au contact de la nature sont des métaphores de moments importants dans la vie. En plus des 13 pistes du vinyl 33 trous, ce recueil de chansons pour piano comprend en exclusivité trois arrangements de titres inédits : Collecting Stones, Losing Directions et Misty Day.

Volker Bertelmann aka Hauschka si è portato a un livello superiore dei compositori strumentali. Questo non è subito evidente nella colonna sonora del film Lion, per cui ha ricevuto una candidatura all' Oscar, ma nel suo ultimo album A Different Forest - uscito l'8 febbraio 2019 - in cui utilizza l'immagine della foresta come contrasto con la vita urbana.

Titoli come Talking to My Father testimoniano allo stesso modo che tutte quelle esperienze della natura sono metafore di eventi importanti della vita. Questo canzoniere per pianoforte contiene, oltre ai 13 brani dell'LP, tre arrangiamenti esculisivi di canzoni inedite: Collecting Stones, Losing Directions e Misty Day.

Written for the late Robert Shaw and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in 1983, Desert Forests is one of the most successful of Brant's spatial works for conventional-sized symphony orchestra. The score mandates that the higher woodwinds (piccolos, flutes, oboes, clarinets) be stationed in a balcony at the back of the hall and the trumpets and trombones in boxes or balconies on opposite sides of the hall. There is also an optional improvised piano-obbligato. A recommended seating diagram for the stage instruments (also unusually arranged) is included in the score and was used to great effect in the performances conducted by Kurt Masur with the New York Philharmonic in May 1994. This extraordinary work expands the idea of bitonality and spatiality as a structural device to create a fifteen minute exercise in ecstatic polyphony, inspired, according to the composer by a visit to a forest of saguro cactus in Saguro National Monument, near Tucson, Arizona. Complete performance materials are available on rental.

'The Forest' was originally written for the Hampshire Double Reed ensemble, then under the tuition of Andrew Knights, so I had the New Forest in mind. The first movement describes a misty dawn as the forest creatures awake. The second movement - 'Memories of an Ancient Tree' - refers to the passing of many generations of people, whose daily lives and celebrations unfold while the tree stands in the forest. The third movement - 'Insects' - is a fun and slightly jazzy representation of the many insects buzzing around in the forest.

Breeze in the Forest was commissioned for the concert to celebrate the 60th birthday of Professor Haruyuki Nakatsukasa of Osaka Kyoiku University. “Kanreki” is a special term used to celebrate reaching the age of 60 in Japan. The composer was inspired by some of Professor Nakatsukasa’s admirable characteristics upon composing this work: he speaks softly and at the same level as his students; he is fashionable, stylish and refined. The band accompaniment is at a moderate level of difficulty, allowing the solo flautist to choose this work for many an occasion.

De harmonieorkestbegeleiding is van een gemiddelde moeilijkheidsgraad, zodat de solofluitist dit werk voor diverse gelegenheden op het programma kan zetten.

Bleak Forest is a piece for smaller concert bands and offers the musicians above all space to improve their sound and their effect playing. The technical requirements are therefore deliberately kept low. With this piece, the composer won the VLAMO International Composition Contest 2022. Thematically, the work is influenced by the composer's childhood memories. In his hometown there was a dark and mysterious forest, that seemed to the children in the small village to be magical. Without a reasonable explanation, every trip into the woods was exciting and somewhat terrifying. There were tales of dangerous animals, which can be heard at the beginning of the piece, as well as magical beasts. The magic of the forest is depicted musically from bar 70 in the andante section. The snapping of the fingers represents single raindrops. From bar 99 onwards, we hear the trek home, with the occasional moments of trepidation as the children spook each other with their fanciful tales. In the end, though, we arrive safely at home because after all, magical beasts only exist in fairy tales don’t they? Andreas Ziegelbäck studied music education at the Mozarteum University in Salzburg, and history at the Paris Lodron Universität, Salzburg. In addition to his studies, he trained in ensemble conducting for wind orchestra with conductor and composer Thomas Doss. It was Doss who sparked Ziegelbäck's interest in composing. In 2021, Andreas Ziegelbäck completed his composition studies with Johannes Maria Staud.

Commi ssioned by The Juilliard School’s Music Advancement Program, IMPRESSIONS FROM THE CHINESE ZODIAC is a suite of three characteristic pieces within reach of advanced pre-college saxophonists, and introducing advanced techniques. The work is equally satisfying and impressive for top-level performers. The movements are titled:1. Rooster Singing Out in the Morning2. Monkey Jumping Around in the Forest3. Tiger Walking Down from the Mountain.
Commissioned by The Juilliard School for Juilliard’s Music Advancement Program, Impressions from the Chinese Zodiac was composed for any size saxophone in 2022. It consists of three independent movements featuring different musical characteristics with various performing techniques. The inspiration for the music came from impressions of three animal signs (rooster, monkey, and tiger), from the twelve in the Chinese Zodiac.The first piece begins with a repeated phrase imitating a rooster’s loud singing in the morning; the pitch with fluttertongue sounds like the noise from the rooster’s throat), followed by phrases of a pentatonic melody drawn from The Sun Is Rising With Our Joy, a Chinese folk song from Sichuan province. There are descending passages, simulating the dropping-down sound of the singing. Each passage is different from others, each of which should be played accurately and smoothly. The melody is moved up a step with variation, followed by an echo of the rooster singing at the end of the piece. Now the sky is bright, so the rooster call returns up four scale steps!The second piece includes two Chinese folk songs: Thinking of My Darling (from Shanxi province) and Guessing (from Yunnan province). Both songs have large interval skips spanning different registers, as well as microtonal intervals in their original singing, which show the characteristics of the regional musical languages respectively. The tone colors should be matched when registers are changed. The microtonal pitches (quarter-tone flat or three-quarter-tone flat) may be done by bending the tone with one’s lips. The image is the monkey jumping around lively, and the music is played humorously. The high and long pitch with a yelling-down effect at the end of the piece brings the music to an exciting peak.The third piece features the strong and brave tiger, with accented tones in the lowest register. The first 3-pitch motive is developed throughout the piece, while peristaltic chromatic material is formed in various shapes and directions, to show the gestures of a mighty and fierce image.Getting accustomed to special fingerings for the chromatic passages and trills, along with precisely notated articulations, and the techniques of tongue slap and key clicks, are the basic goals to achieve in this piece.
