Rob Goorhuis: La Terre: Concert Band: ScoreIn the composition 'La terre' several aspects of Earth have been translated into sounds in an associative manner. The first part depicts Nature Mother Earth stability the soil which is the source of life. Earth symbolizes tradition rituals fertility. In the music of the composition this can be heard in tonic and ostinato passages. Furthermore human emotions such as gladness sorrow wonder resignation hope and despair indissolubly connected as they are to mankind's life on earth are musically reflected in sudden gusts of expression. Earth for us human beings is the solid ground on which everything in life takes place. In the second part different moodsare evoked in a sort of toccata. Now and then the music sounds fragmented at other times as a solid whole. The robustness of the music in this part has its roots in the earth originates from it. It reflects stability and strength but love and nostalgia are also present in soft and fragile tones. 'La terre' is a musical narrative about Earth in which music has been given ample room to show its many-sided beauty.
