Moving Heaven and Earth was commissioned by the Clark County School District Commissioning Project, Las Vegas, NV, USA and is dedicated to Bunny Wasserman and her Make Music Matter, Las Vegas foundation, in appreciation of her tireless work in support of music education. It was premiered in January 2012, conducted by Col. John R. Bourgeois.The piece consists of a theme and 4 variations; although the theme is original it contains a phrase heavily influenced by a 14-bar passage from the Libera Me in Fauré’s Requiem. It is a sequence that the composer finds harmonically compelling and, although it is never quoted directly, it appears in altered form in thetheme and each of the variations. In the original, the passage is set to the words: Quando cæli movendi sunt et terra (When the heavens and the earth shall be moved) which gave inspiration for the title.After the initial statement of the theme, Variation 1 features the upper woodwinds who play a stirring melody and accompany the Fauré reference with florid arpeggios. Variation 2 spotlights the saxophones and lower woodwind in a rhythmic, modal waltz, whilst Variation 3 is a broad chorale for the brass and percussion. Variation 4 starts with a fugue, which introduces each section of the band in turn before the original theme appears on the brass while the woodwind continue the fugal figuration.

Moving Heaven and Earth is geschreven in opdracht van het Clark County School District Commissioning Project, Las Vegas, NV, USA. Het is opgedragen aan Bunny Wasserman en haar stichting Make Music Matter… Las Vegas, als blijk van waardering voor haar onvermoeibare inzet voor het muziekonderwijs. De première, uitgevoerd onder leiding van kolonel John R. Bourgeois, vond plaats in januari 2012.Het werk bestaat uit een thema en vier variaties; hoewel het een oorspronkelijk geschreven thema is, bevat het een frase die sterk is be nvloed door een passage van veertien maten uit het Libera Me van Faurés Requiem. Het gaat om een sequens die de componist harmonischzeer boeiend vindt, en die - hoewel nooit direct geciteerd - in aangepaste vorm in zowel het thema als de vier variaties naar voren komt. In het origineel is de muziek uit deze passage geschreven op de tekst Quando cæli movendi sunt et terra (Wanneer hemel en aarde bewogen worden). Daarop is de titel van deze compositie gebaseerd.Na de aanvankelijke invoering van het thema komt in Variatie 1 het hoge hout aan bod met een treffende melodie; en de verwijzing naar Fauré wordt begeleid door sierlijke arpeggio’s. Variatie 2 plaatst de saxofoons en het lage hout in de schijnwerpers met een ritmische, modale wals, terwijl Variatie 3 een weidse koraal voor het koper en slagwerk omvat.Variatie 4 begint met een fuga die elke sectie van het orkest introduceert, waarna het oorspronkelijke thema in het koper verschijnt terwijl het hout verdergaat met de fugatische versieringen.

Moving Heaven and Earth wurde vom Schulbezirksverband in Las Vegas, Nevada (USA) in Auftrag gegeben. Das Stück ist Bunny Wasserman und ihrer Stiftung Make Music Matter, Las Vegas gewidmet, in Anerkennung ihrer unermüdlichen Anstrengungen zugunsten der musikalischen Ausbildung. Die Uraufführung fand im Januar 2012 unter Leitung von Colonel John R. Bourgeois statt.Das Stück besteht aus einem Thema und vier Variationen. Obwohl es sich um ein originales Thema handelt, ist doch ein Abschnitt daraus stark von einer 14-taktigen Passage aus dem Libera Me in Faurés Requiem beeinflusst. Es ist eine Sequenz, die dem Komponisten harmonisch besonders reizvoll erschien, wennsie auch nirgends direkt zitiert wird, sondern in veränderter Form im Thema und in jeder Variation erscheint. Im Original ist diese Passage mit folgendem Text unterlegt: Quando cæli movendi sunt et terra (Wenn Himmel und Erde sich bewegen sollen). Diese Worte waren Inspiration für den Titel.Nach der einleitenden Vorstellung des Themas stellt Variation 1 die hohen Holzbläser in den Vordergrund, die eine bewegende Melodie spielen und die Anspielung auf Fauré mit schönen, lebhaften Arpeggien begleiten. Variation 2 richtet das Rampenlicht auf die Saxophone und die tiefen Holzbläser in einem rhythmischen, modalen Walzer, während Variation 3 ein breiter Choral für die Blechbläser und das Schlagzeug ist. Variation 4 beginnt mit einer Fuge, die nacheinander jedes Register des Blasorchesters präsentiert, bevor die Blechbläser das Originalthema spielen und die Holzbläser dazu mit der Umspielung der Fuge fortfahren.

Moving Heaven and Earth (Ébranler le ciel et la terre) est une oeuvre de commande du Clark County School District Commissioning Project de Las Vegas, États-Unis. Cette pièce est dédiée Bunny Wasserman et sa fondation Make Music Matter, Las Vegas, en reconnaissance de son travail sans rel che en faveur de l’éducation musicale. Elle a été créée en janvier 2012, sous la direction du colonel John R. Bourgeois.Cette oeuvre se compose d’un thème et de quatre variations ; bien que le thème soit original, il contient néanmoins un motif relativement influencé par un passage de 14 mesures du Libera Me du Requiem de Fauré. Cette séquence, dont l’harmonisation fascinePhilip Sparke, paraît sous une forme altérée dans le thème et chacune des variations. Dans l’oeuvre de Fauré, le thème mélodique colore les paroles : Quando cæli movendi sunt et terra (Quand le ciel et la terre seront ébranlés), qui ont d’ailleurs inspiré le titre de la présente composition.Après une exposition initiale du thème, la 1re variation fait appel au registre aigu des bois, qui énoncent une exaltante mélodie et enluminent l’allusion Fauré par des arpèges fleuris. La 2e variation met en valeur les saxophones et le registre grave des bois dans une valse modale rythmée, tandis que la 3e variation prend la forme d’un ample choral pour les cuivres et la percussion.La 4e variation installe une fugue qui présente, tour tour, chaque pupitre de l’orchestre avant le retour du thème d’origine interprété par les cuivres, tandis que les bois maintiennent brillement le motif de fugue.

This setting of Ave Regina c''lorum (Hail, O Queen of Heaven), one of the four Marian antiphons with origins in the 4th century, is ajoyous work for upper voices, suitable for children's or women's choirs. It is full of energy and, although it is largely homophonic, the rhythmic interplay between the parts creates interesting textures which combine with Arnesens recognisable, beautiful harmonic language. The jubilant outer sections contrast with a slower, more mysterious middle section where the text speaks of the Virgin Marys beauty. A joy to both sing and listen to, this new piece will make an attractive addition to a concert or service.
