This piece was written to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the Takayama Wind Orchestra, who also commissioned it. The historic city of Takayama draws numerous visitors from home and abroad, not just to see its well-preserved old houses and buildings but also because every year several historic processions take place, with beautiful floats. When these ride through the city, age-old melodies are heard played on wooden flutes, accompanied by muted drums. This image is evoked at the beginning of the work, followed by an archaic sounding melody in a typically Japanese pentatonic sequence, that develops throughout. In this challenging piece Eastern and Western influences alternate,creating a sensational and overwhelming musical effect!

Dit werk is geschreven ter gelegenheid van het vijftigjarig bestaan van het Takayama Wind Orchestra, dat tevens de opdrachtgever was. De historische stad Takayama trekt jaarlijks talloze bezoekers uit binnen- en buitenland, niet alleen vanwege de goed bewaarde oude huizen en gebouwen die de stad rijk is, maar ook omdat er elk jaar een aantal historische optochten plaatsvinden. Wanneer die door de stad trekken, weerklinken eeuwenoude melodieën, gespeeld op houten fluiten en begeleid door doffe trommen. Dit beeld wordt opgeroepen aan het begin van het werk, gevolgd door een archa sch klinkende melodie in een typisch Japanse pentatonische tonenreeks, die zich in de loop van het werkverder zal ontwikkelen. In dit pittige werk wisselen oosterse en westerse invloeden elkaar af, met als resultaat een meeslepend en overweldigend muzikaal effect!

Dieses Stück wurde aus Anlass des 50-jährigen Jubiläums des Takayama Wind Orchestra geschrieben, das dieses Werk auch in Auftrag gegeben hat. Die Altstadt von Takayama zieht jedes Jahr zahlreiche Besucher aus dem In- und Ausland an, nicht nur wegen der gut erhaltenen alten Häuser und Gebäude, sondern auch wegen der historischen Festumzüge, die dort stattfinden. Wenn diese durch die Stadt ziehen, erklingen uralte Melodien, die auf Holzflöten gespielt und von gedämpften Trommeln begleitet werden. Dieses Bild wird zu Beginn des Werks hervorgerufen, darauf folgt eine archaisch klingende Melodie mit einer typisch japanischen pentatonischen Sequenz, die sich im Laufe des Werkesweiterentwickelt. In diesem anspruchsvollen Werk wechseln sich östliche und westliche Einflüsse ab und erzeugen einen sensationellen und überwältigenden musikalischen Effekt!

Cette Å?uvre a été commandée par le Takayama Wind Orchestra lâ??occasion de son 50e anniversaire. La ville historique de Takayama attire de nombreux visiteurs locaux et étrangers chaque année, non seulement gr ce aux maisons et b timents anciens bien conservés, mais aussi aux processions historiques qui y ont lieu. Lors de ces défilés, on entend des mélodies ancestrales jouées par des fl tes en bois et accompagnées de tambours en sourdine.

Les influences orientales et occidentalessâ??alternen t dans cette composition exigeante et créent ainsi un effet musical qui est sensationnel et extraordinaire !

Questo pezzo è stato scritto per celebrare il cinquantesimo anniversario della Takayama Wind Orchestra, che lo ha anche commissionato. La storica citt di Takayama attira numerosi visitatori anche all'estero, non solo per visitare le sue case storiche e gli edifici ben conservati, ma anche perché ogni anno si svolgono diverse processioni storiche, con bellissimi carri allegorici: Quando attraversano la citt , si sentono melodie secolari suonate su flauti di legno, accompagnate da tamburi. Questa immagine è evocata all'inizio del brano, seguita da una melodia dal suono arcaico in una sequenza pentatonica tipicamente giapponese, che si sviluppa lungo tutto il brano. In questo impegnativo pezzo si alternano influenze orientali e occidentali, creando un effetto musicale sensazionale e travolgente!

At 19 years old, Saul Goodman became timpanist with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra under renowned conductor Arturo Toscanini. Forty-six years later, he retired as one of the most celebrated orchestral musicians of all time. During his illustrious career as composer, inventor, and timpanist, he performed on over 1,000 recordings, placed his students in the world’s major symphony orchestras, and set standards in percussion performance and pedagogy that remain in place to this day. His memoirs, and those of his students, trace his musical development and take the reader on a voyage of his unique experiences during the greatest era of the American symphony orchestras. His incredible legacy as a performer and a teacher is unrivaled in the history of percussion, and perhaps any other instrument as well. The list of his students reads like a ‘who’s who’ of our world. —Daniel Druckman, New York Philharmonic He was one of the greatest artists of all times. He was an inspiration to me, not only as a student, but throughout my professional career. —Vic Firth, Boston Symphony Orchestra Saul often said that his teachers were Toscanini, Monteux, Reiner, Stokowski, and Bruno Walter. He was the greatest player in the era of stars throughout the symphonic world. The sheer numbers of concerts, recordings, and TV that he played is staggering. —Morris Lang, New York Philharmonic Saul Goodman was a brilliant orchestral musician who just happened to play the timpani. His style, musicianship and strong personality were a tremendous influence on those with whom he worked. —James Rago, Louisville Orchestra Review from Percussive Notes Magazine This treasure of a book tells the story from the man himself: Saul Goodman, one of the most celebrated orchestral musicians, timpanists, and percussion teachers to ever live. Through a combination of Goodman’s own writing, as well as contributions from a variety of others who knew, studied, and worked with him, this 106-page book is informative for students and enjoyable for general music enthusiasts. The book is constructed in two parts — the first being a previously unpublished memoir written by Goodman during his lifetime (he died in 1996) and edited by Anthony Cirone, and the second consisting of reflections from students and colleagues, an interview with Goodman conducted by Rick Mattingly in 1981, a Percussive Notes article published shortly after this death, and an overview of his recording history. The book also contains several pages of pictures from throughout his career. The first part, written by Goodman, contains five chapters: Beginnings, Carnegie Hall, The Business of Modern Orchestra, Toscanini, and On Recording. While he discusses many percussion-specific things, such as lessons with Alfred Friese, Goodman spends just as much, if not more, time talking about the general orchestral culture of the time and how it evolved during his 46 years in the New York Philharmonic. This includes reflections on conductors, management, recording, and the audition process. The second part proves just as valuable, with first-hand stories from those who knew him. These range from acknowledgments of Goodman’s excellence in performing and instruments making to heartfelt and sometimes humorous anecdotes relating to his teaching. This book will undoubtedly be appreciated by all orchestral percussion and classical music performers, students, conductors, and teachers, as well as the general concert-going public. It is a rare first-hand look into the life and career of a world-class artist and teacher. — Jason Baker Percussive Notes, February 2022.

The Hida High School is in a highland city called Takayama in Gifu Prefecture. Takayama City has some of the highest mountains in Japan, atmospheric rows of houses and streets, and a beautiful landscape. The magnificent views from these mountains can be described as a paradise above the clouds. When the composer visited there in the summer of 2001, the lovely flowers spreading through the valley and the refreshing air welcomed him. The flowers looked as if they were fashionably dressed and fully enjoying conversation and a short summer at a reunion party. The composer was inspired by this scenery to compose this piece. The musical party opens with happy greetings of a reunion andjoyful themes follow one after another. A light xylophone solo, a waltz and an adagio featuring alternate solos by alto saxophone, euphonium and trumpet lead to a brilliant finale featuring brass and percussion played in irregular time. A beautiful musical picture that your band will enjoy performing for many years.

Der neue Klavierauszug einer der meistgespielten tschechischen Opern, Dvoráks Rusalka, bildet einen Bestandteil der neuen Urtextedition des Werkes, in der nach mehr als sechzig Jahren der Notentext den gegenwärtigen Editionsregeln angepasst wurde. Anders als bei der vorangegangenen kritischen Ausgabe von Jarmil Burghauser aus dem Jahre 1960, dokumentiert der Herausgeber Robert Simon alle redaktionellen Eingriffe. Die neue Edition widmet auch dem Libretto gebührende Aufmerksamkeit, unter sorgfältiger Auswertung aller erhaltenen Quellen, darunter des Klavierauszuges von Josef Famera (1883–1914), der nach Dvoráks Tod veröffentlicht (1905) und dessen Manuskript noch vom Komponisten autorisiert worden war.

Dieser historische Klavierauszug wurde einer gründlichen Revision durch den Arrangeur Petr Koronthály unterzogen, der ihn unter maximaler Berücksichtigung des Originals und der Beibehaltung von dessen Qualitäten in eine Bearbeitung gebracht hat, die einer neuen Urtextedition und den aktuellen Bedürfnissen der Aufführungspraxis entspricht. Die Neuausgabe enthält das Vorwort des Herausgebers zur Entstehung der Oper und ihres historisch ersten Klavierauszugs, außerdem werden in der Einleitung Hinweise zur Aussprache des tschechischen Gesangstextes veröffentlicht.
