Works
of chamber music
including flute and
strings are not nearly as
numerous as those for
clarinet, or even the
oboe. Probably the reason
for this is the less
assertive, more pure tone
the flute possesses - it
can't compete for volume
or range with the
clarinet, except in its
top octave, and the
oboe's tone is more
penetrating and easily
discerned from within a
string texture.
Consequently, composers
who have written for
flute and strings have
done so in lightweight
divertimento works:
compare, for instance,
the delicate flute
quartets of Mozart with
his monumental quintet
for clarinet and strings.
When Karl and Joan
Karber approached me with
the ideas of writing a
work for flute and string
trio, I originally
thought it would be best
to write a humorous,
rather offhand piece -
but a look at their
repertoire (mostly
comprised of smaller
works of the Rococo
period) convinced me that
it was the last thing
they needed. In spite of
the challenge (or maybe
because of it?), I
determined to write a
large work, and a serious
work. Zephyrus (named for
the God of the West Wind,
in deference to the
flute) is a
three-movement work, with
each movement cast in a
very different form, but
all three being built of
the same twelve-note
series. There is also a
rhythmic motive and a
pair of themes that
appear in all three
movements. The
first movement plays with
the idea of contrast and
persuasion. The flute, at
the outset, is the
hell-for-leather
protagonist, charging and
swooping around the
strings - who seem oddly
unconcerned by his
passion. Indeed, they
have a more somber song
to sing - and as the
movement unfolds, the
flute becomes less and
less active, while the
strings become
increasingly enlivened.
By the midpoint, when all
four instruments are
finally in the same meter
and the same tempo, the
flute's energy has
finally infected the
other three players, and
this energy does not let
up until the movement's
abrupt final cadence.
The second
movement begins with a
tag from the first - as
if the energy left over
was too great to simply
stop. At length, though,
a very poignant flute
melody appears over an
almost bluesy harmony in
the strings. After this
has been fully exposed, a
slight increase in
motion, marked gently
rocking in triplets,
features a theme-fragment
from Leonard Bernstein's
Symphony No. 2 (Kaddish).
Bernstein died as I was
writing this work, and it
seemed quite natural to
encourage what was
already implicit in the
music, and create an
Elegy for L.B. The music
rises and peaks, then in
the recapitulation of the
opening the Kaddish theme
reappears, as the
ensemble suggests a
gentle song of sleep.
The final movement
is a Rondo-Variations
form, with the slight
alteration of adding the
main theme of the second
movement in what would be
the trio of the form. The
ritornello theme is a
kind of ethnic dance
music, almost an allusion
to the Klezmer ensembles
of Eastern Europe. The
successive episodes
between the ritornelli
are loosely organized
variations on the basic
theme, but always
beginning with a metric
modulation, a rhythmic
changing of gears. The
movement reaches and apex
of speed and furious
pulsing, then abruptly
pirouttes, and finishes.
Zephyrus was
written between April and
November of 1990 in
Austin, Aspen, and
Honolulu, and is
dedicated to Karl Kraber
and The Chamber Soloists
of Austin. --Dan

Even
though Wolfgang Amadeus
Mozart (1756-1791),
admittedly, was no fan of
the flute, he wrote
unforgettable music for
this instrument 'that I
can't stand': two
concertos, a double
concerto with harp, the
original version of the
Wind Concertante and the
four flute quartets.
Commissioned by the Dutch
physician and amateur
musician Ferdinand
Dejean, Mozart wrote his
two solo concertos in
1777/78 during a stay in
Mannheim. As the middle
movement of the Concerto
in G major KV 313
supposedly was too
difficult for the client
-with regard to the
playing technique and/or
music - the composer
wrote an alternative
version, 'Andante' KV 315
(285e). This nice
individual movement is
now presented in a
carefully edited new
edition, with a cadenza
of the editor - a
serenade-like setting
that offers the soloist
many possibilities for
cantabile playing.

The genesis
of Beethoven's 4th
symphony came at an
extraordinary time for
the composer not only
regarding productivity:
Thus, in 1806 he
composed, among other
things, the 4th piano
concerto, the three
Rasumovsky string
quartets op. 59, the 32
piano variations in c
minor WoO 80, as well as
the violin concerto op.
61. The first performance
of the B-flat-major
symphony occurred in
March 1807 at one of the
two noteworthy
subscription concerts
conducted by Beethoven in
the Palais Lobkowitz in
Vienna. In the course of
time, this
intellectually-stimulatin
g work- so described by
one of the reviewers of
the Allgemeine
musikalische Zeitung -
found ever-increasing
appeal. Throughout the
entire 19th century this
symphony ranked with the
best-loved and most
frequently performed
works; its popularity
spread to England where
the London Philharmonic
Society played it at
least 25 times in the
period between 1813 and
1850.Extant are only a
few drafts of the 4th
symphony. The autograph
served as the main source
for the present edition
edited by Prof. Bathia
Churgin, likewise editor
of the 3rd symphony in
the new Beethoven
Complete Edition.
Consulted as reference
sources were copies of
the score and orchestral
parts as well as the
original edition of the
parts.

The Faroese word andalag
has a multilayerd
meaning. The first half
of the word is anda and
means to breath or
spirit, and the second
half of the word lag
means melodi, mood or
layer. I use two small
ideas in this Suite. One
idea is in a sort of
major mood and the other
in a sort of minor mood.

In
1901, Flor Alpaerts
finished his music
studies at the Flemish
School of Music of
Antwerp, which later
became the Royal Flemish
Conservatory. He studied
harmony and composition
with Jan Blockx. In 1903
he became professor at
this institute and from
1934 until 1941 its
director. For one season
(1922-1923) he was also
director of the Royal
Flemish Opera House of
Antwerp together with the
bass Arthur Steurbaut.
His fame, as a composer
and a conductor, came
shortly after World War
I, when he succeeded
Eduard Keurvels in 1919
as conductor of the
concerts organized by the
Royal Zoological Society
of Antwerp and as
artistic director of the
Peter Benoit Fonds. He
also conducted the choral
group Arti Vocali. As a
composer, Flor Alpaerts
was the leading figure in
the Flemish
impressionistic movement,
utilizing an
impressionism that came
closer to Richard Strauss
and Ottorino Respighi
than to Claude Debussy. A
highlight in this
direction was the
symphonic poem Pallieter
(1921-1924). With his
suite James Ensor,
inspired by four works of
the Ostend painter, he
created an
expressionistic work. In
his later compositions he
turned to neo-classicism.
Though mostly known for
writing larger scale
works during his life,
this Concertstuk for oboe
and piano, composed
towards the end of his
life came at a time when
he unexpectedly because
to compose chamber music.
In addition to this work
for oboe, he composed a
solo piece for clarinet,
as well as four string
quartets during his final
years.
