The sky creates a dazzling display of yellows, oranges, and reds, before turning a calm blue, then purple, and finally black. Such sunsets inspired Jan de Haan to write this piece for solo flugelhorn and brass band. It is dedicated to his daughter, Hermanda.

Zonsondergang. De zon verdwijnt langzaam aan de westelijke horizon. De hemel is in rode en oranje kleuren getooid... Deze prachtige aanblik was de inspiratie voor dit ontroerende solowerk voor bugel en fanfare. (ook verkrijgbaar voorhobo en harmonieorkest). Jan de Haan schreef het in de herfst van 2008 en droeg het op aan zijn dochter Hermanda.

Le soleil crée un spectacle éblouissant de clouleurs jaune, orange, et rouge, avant que le ciel ne change en un bleu calme, puis violet ,et noir pour finir. De pareils couchers du soleil ont inspiré Jan de Haan écrire ce morceau pour bugle solo et fanfare. Il l’a dédié sa fille, Hermanda.

Not many people know that Franz Liszt arranged some of his piano pieces for the cello, with piano accompaniment, and that these versions of the works appeared in print during the maestro's lifetime. Árpád Pejtsik selected two of these for this volume compiled to mark Liszt's jubilee: Elegies I and II. The other compositions by Liszt that appear in the collection were likewise originally works for piano: the Ave Maria and Cantique d'amour (pieces from the Harmonies poétiques et religieuses cycle) were transcribed by a pupil of Liszt, Robert Pflughaupt the cello version, transposed into G major, of the E Major Consolation is by Jules de Swert, solo cellist in the Weimar orchestraof those days that of the Angelus (the opening piece in Volume 3 of the cycle entitled Years of Pilgrimage ) is by Lothar Windsperger, a German composer who lived at the turn of the 19th-20th century. The Valse oubliée No. 1 was transcribed by Liszt s virtuoso piano pupil Ferruccio Busoni Notturno, which became famous as the third piece in the Liebesträume series, is a transposed version of the original song ( O lieb, so lang du lieben kannst ) made by the editor of this volume.

Nur Wenigen ist bekannt, dass Liszt einige seiner Klavierstücke auch für Violoncello mit Klavierbegleitung bearbeitet hatte, und dass diese Version der Werke noch zu Lebzeiten des Komponisten in Druck erschien. In diesem Band nahm Árpád Pejtsik zwei dieser Stücke, die I. und II. Elegie auf. Die anderen Liszt-Kompositionen in der Sammlung sind auch ursprünglich Klavierwerke: der Bearbeiter ist beim Ave Maria und Cantique d'amour (Stücke aus dem Zyklus Harmonies poétiques et religieuses) der Liszt-Schüler Robert Pflughaupt. Von Jules de Swert, der damals Solocellist des Weimarer Orchesters war, wurde die in G-Dur transponierte Violoncelloversion der E-Dur Consolation, und vonLothar Windsperger, dem an der Wende zum 20. Jahrhundert lebenden deutschen Komponisten, das Angelus (das Eröffnungsstück des III. Bandes des Zyklus Pilgerjahre) bearbeitet.

Wheth er planning a special service centered on the Care of the Earth, or looking for unique treatments of cherished Creation hymns, these nine arrangements by Nicholas Palmer are a superb addition to the repertoire. The music is expressive and original, at times taking unexpected yet logical turns, and will cause both player and listener to ponder the hymns in a new light. The arranging is pianistic, making good use of pedaling, higher/lower registers, accents, etc., to create a sometimes playful, sometimes plaintive, sound. Tunes include: The Ash Grove, Cantad al Señor, Dix, Lasst uns erfreuen, and others.

Liebeslieder nach Gedichten von Catarina Carsten. Composed by Hermann Regner. This edition: Saddle stitching. Sheet music. Ensemble. Softcover. 15 pages. Duration 10'. Schott Music #ED20976. Published by Schott Music (HL.49018868).

As a professor of music education and elementary composition at the Orff Institute in Salzburg which he was instrumental in establishing, the composer Hermann Regner (1928-2008) examined the work of Carl Orff and, like him, rendered outstanding services as a composer to the work with the young generation of up-and-coming musicians. The selection of easy, but not simple stylistic means also characterizes his song cycle 'Wenn du neben mir gehst' on texts of his wife Catarina Carsten. The six songs, with their almost minimalist reduction and carefully extended tonality, are sensitive and deeply moving miniatures, suitable for lessons, but also - as resting points - in the concert hall.

Guernica, a peaceful town in the Basque region of Spain, was reduced to ruins on the 26th of April 1937 by Nazi bombers. It was a totally unexpected attack that happened while the crowded open-air market was in progress. Over 1600 innocent citizens were killed.This was one of the most senseless and abhorrent war crimes in history. In this new work by Jan Hadermann the music of the Basque region can clearly be heard, with street musicians adding lustre to the open-air market with dance music. Spring is in the air when suddenly from behind the mountaintops, the death squad appears and all hell breaks loose. The work ends with an intense plea to never let anything like this happenagain. A moving and contemplative new work for concert band.

Guernica, een vredig stadje in het Spaanse Baskenland, werd op 26 april 1937 door nazi bommenwerpers volledig in puin gelegd. Die aanval vond totaal onverwacht plaats terwijl de drukbezochte openluchtmarkt volop aan de gang was. Meerdan 1600 onschuldige burgers werden gedood. Dit is een van de meest zinloze en weerzinwekkende oorlogsmisdaden uit de geschiedenis. In het stuk Guernica van Jan Haderman horen we hoe de Baskische muziek klinkt: straatmuzikantenluisteren de openluchtmarkt op met dansmuziek. Het is lente. Dan duikt plotseling vanachter de bergtoppen het doodseskader op en barst de hel los. Het werk eindigt met een intense smeekbede zoiets nooit meer te laten gebeuren. Eenontroerend nieuw werk voor harmonieorkest.

Gu ernica, eine friedliche, strategisch eher bedeutungslose Stadt im Baskenland in Spanien, ist durch einen furchtbaren Blitzangriff von Nazibombern im Jahr 1937 zum Symbol für die Sinnlosigkeit und Grausamkeit von Kriegsverbrechen und Terror geworden. Im Stück Guernica ist die fröhliche Musik der Basken herauszuhören, bevor die Hölle des Angriffs losbricht. Das Werk endet mit der eindringlichen Bitte, so etwas nie wieder geschehen zu lassen. Ein eindrucksvolles Werk mit einer nach wie vor aktuellen Botschaft.

Le 26 avril 1937, la paisible ville de Guernica dans le Pays basque espagnol est anéantie par les bombardiers de l’aviation nazie. Plus de mille six cents civils sont tués. La ville br le pendant trois jours. Guernica de Jan Hadermann se développe aux sons de la musique basque. La place du marché est pleine de monde. L’atmosphère est douce, le printemps s’éveille sur un air de danse joué par des musiciens de rue quand surgit par dessus les montagnes, l’escadron de la mort. L’enfer commence Guernica. L’œuvre se conclut dans une intense expression de supplication pour qu’une telle folie ne se reproduise plus.

Sea Squall is about the journey of a ship traveling across turbulent seas. It starts with the primary melody that comes back frequently, with every section having a turn playing it. The context of this theme changes as the piece progresses. Sometimes it is calm and safe, and sometimes more powerful, like a storm with that lingering feeling of unpredictability. The bowings and dynamics, as well as what each section is playing, changes the mood and feeling of the music, from calm, to animated, even heroic in the louder areas. There is a new theme introduced later in the cellos with the upper parts following soon after. The focus of the player should be to bring out these contrasts in the parts, by observing the dynamics and articulations.

In English-speaking countries ‘Away in a Manger’ is one of the first Christmas songs to be taught to little children. It is a moving song with simple words, which makes it easy to understand.

The song is also known as ‘Luther’s Cradle Hymn’. This suggests that Martin Luther was the author of the lyrics. According to researchers, however, this is a misconception the author is unknown.
In England ‘Away in a Manger’ is sung to a different melody than in the USA, for example. The ‘English’ melody was composed by W.J. Kirkpatrick.
Andrew Mackereth made a touching arrangement of the ‘English’ melody, which suits the tender lyrics perfectly.

In Engelstalige landen is ‘Away in a Manger’ een van de eerste kerstliedjes dat de kinderen geleerd wordt. Het is een gevoelig lied met een eenvoudige en daarom aansprekende tekst.

Het lied staat ook wel bekend als ‘Luther’sCradle Hymn’. Dit suggereert dat Martin Luther de schrijver van de tekst is. Volgens onderzoekers is dit een misvatting en is de auteur onbekend.
In Engeland wordt ‘Away in a Manger’ op een andere melodie gezongen danin bijv. in de USA. De ‘Engelse’ melodie is gecomponeerd door W.J. Kirkpatrick.
Andrew Mackereth maakte een gevoelige bewerking van de ‘Engelse’ melodie, die prima aansluit bij de tedere tekst.

It is quite essential from the very start to arouse the musical imagination of the young pupil. That done the problem of teaching dynamics, phrasing, variety of touch, is greatly simplified, because the active and eager cooperation of the student has been won. These pieces have therefor all been made with a definite program on which the pupils can themselves build a more detailed music picture. A number of special technical elements are here found as well; for example: Crossing the hands, Division of a melodic line between the hands, Bringing out of two melodies at once, Frequent use of high and low register. As a preparation for some of the problems of modern music with its less accustomed rhythms and style, these pieces are quite useful.
