Par TAYLOR MARK. Designed as a flashy showpiece that features every section of the band, this uptempo burner is the perfect opener! After the attention-grabbing intro, the rhythm section starts things off then passes the baton to the trombone section. (A short interlude separates each feature spot, so plug in an announcer if you like!) The section shows its stuff followed by the trumpets. A short …

Par RAVEL MAURICE. In 1922 Maurice Ravel heard the young Hungarian violin virtuoso and niece of Joseph Joachim, Jelly D'Aranyi, in concert in London. Following the performance, Ravel spent the remainder of the evening requesting D'Aranyi to play numerous gypsy tunes on her violin, probing her on the technical limits of the instrument. The result of this encounter is Ravel's virtuoso classic 'Tziga…

Per Violoncello Solo. Par CALLIGARIS SERGIO. Sergio Calligaris was born in Rosario (1941), Argentina. He is one of the last musicians to incarnate the traditional 19th century figure of pianist, teacher and composer, inaugurated at the beginning of the 19th century by Muzio Clementi and carriedon after that by a sequence of famous names that the history of music has handed down to us. As a pianist…

Par VAN DER ROOST JAN. In this colourful composition, Jan van der Roost recreates the energetic and multi-racial city life in Manhattan, using four contrasting movements. The opening movement is rather short and rhytmical. In the second “Picture”, a variety of musical entities accumulate into a coloured “sound curtain”, on top of which the brass section presents a broad theme. In contrast to the t…

Par BUXTEHUDE DIETRICH. This setting of Luther’s hymn perfectly typifies the basic concept of a chorale cantata as Buxtehude probably envisaged it. The first two verses are set, line by line, in a four-part homophonic texture. The two violins add interludes to the chorale, and lead in a kind of ritornello to the next verse. In the third and last verse Buxtehude departs from this model as the violi…

Debussy's new string quartet received a very cool reception at its première in Paris in December 1893, performed by the famous Quatuor Ysaÿe. The critics were upset by its unusual harmonies and orchestral sounds, and the musicians who were later presented with it considered it 'unplayable?. Nevertheless the work was able to establish itself in the years that followed and today belongs to the core …

Par SEITHER CHARLOTTE. “Red roots” (2022) hints at its source material in depth – only to turn it into something independent. Starting from a Beethovenian cell (from the unpublished sketch, “Wir irren allesamt”), the focus is on leaving the point of departure, which brings up new lines in the interior of the piano. Here, the (supposed) Beethoven presents himself as an “invented memory”, so reality…

Solomotette Zum Dreifaltigkeitsfest Oder Zu Weihnachten. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. A good six years following its first performance in Milan [1773] a second version of Exsultate, jubilate was completed for a performance on Trinity Sunday in 1779.
