Mathias' Sonatina, originally composed in 1953 but revised in 1986, is a slighter yet more approachable work. A considerable amount of straight repetition renders the music easily assimilable. For instance, both main themes in the opening sonata movement are repeated during the exposition; similarly a large stretch of the development consists simply of a transposed version of a previous passage. O…

Par VAN DER ROOST JAN. In the most literal sense: a piece for an occasion. The actual occasion was Jan de Haan’s twentieth anniversary as a conductor of the top Dutch brass band, “Soli Deo Gloria” (Leeuwarden). To mark the occasion, the band commissioned the Belgian comopser Jan Van der Roost to create a surprise piece: without knowledge of the person being celebrated, a suitable source of inspira…

24 Etudes-Caprices Op. 41 by Delphin Alard (1815-1888) are excellent study material. Alard, the violin teacher of Sasasate, composed these studies in the 24 keys. Due to their musical variety, melodic beauty and cantabile voice leading, they are much more than technical studies; they might be described as character pieces in the best sense. The studies meet the two demands principally made on this…

Careful doubling of important parts makes sure MARCH OF THE NOBLES will be accessible to bands with sketchy instrumentation as well as complete ensembles. And, there are enough accidentals to keep the musicians’ skills m…

Par LANGER MANFRED. Uniform choral sound, homogeneous singing with singers in similarly uniform dress. What interest does the audience have in the fates of the individual singers? How good it is that today one may “act up“ again. When else is there time for chatting on the risers, screaming and shouting, articulating one’s ignorance concerning contemporary art expressing hopes of getting a solo, f…
