Par BOCOOK JAY. Ostenaco was a celebrated Cherokee chief in the 18th century, and became a leading advocate for peace with the British colonies. Paying homage to this great man, Spirit of Ostenaco opens with a melancholy solo flute followed by a chorale statement of rich textures and harmonies.

The Magical Witch. Par VANNEBO ELISABETH. “The Magical Witch» is a tango covered with Spider web. After an opening like a horror-movie (first in percussion and then winds), a traditional tango starts. The tango is interrupted by the main theme from “Jaws” and then a short sequence from the shower-scene from “Psycho”. The tango then moves on, only interrupted by short, scary features. The dynamics …

Par VAN DER ROOST JAN. This 4-movement suite is based on authentic folktunes from the beautiful southern province in France: the 'Provence'. The composer used an harmonic language respecting the popular characteristics, but on the other hand also contains some 'spicy' notes (. . . just like the wellknown 'Provençal sauce'! . . . ). The instrumentation is very colourful, paying a lot of attention t…

Variations on a theme by Jean-Philippe Rameau. Par DE HAAN JAN. / Niveau : 4 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Par DESSAU PAUL. Paul Dessau described his Third String Quartet, begun at Laguna Beach near Los Angeles in 1943, as predominantly lyrical. The song-like, melodious main theme of this one-movement work emerges from a series of notes grounded in tonality. A contrapuntally separated little semiquaver figure acquires increasing importance and points the way ahead to the greater rhythmical turbulence o…

Par SCHUBERT FRANZ. The series of symphonies in the New Schubert Edition is a milestone of modern scholarly-critical editing, lending these works a transparency lacking in earlier editions of a more romantic bent. The eight symphonies trace Schubert's artistic evolution from the First Symphony, which develops a theme from Beethoven's Eroica, to the Mozartean Fifth and the romanticism of the 'Great…

For String Quartet Volume 1. Par BACH JOHANN-SEBASTIAN. The idea for these arrangements came to me whilst listening to the Hagen Quartet's beautiful recording of the fugues that form part of Haydn's 'Sun Quartets', Op. 20. The spirit and influence of J.S. Bach, in particular his Well Tempered Clavier, Book II, courses through these three miraculous Haydn fugues. Like the viol consort, the string q…
