Kyrill : Storm of the Century

Many people vividly remember January 18, 2007. The weather service issued alerts of an impending storm of the century and a worst case scenario began to unfold.

Dogon

In Dogon, the composer Kevin Houben takes the audience on a journey to the steep slopes of the Dogon Valley in West Africa. Majestic sounds sketch the unique culture of the Malian population, who build their houses on these slopes. The Dogon people see the valley both as a threat and as a promise for the future. This is expressed in dark, mysterious chords that emerge from a restful point in the work. Afterwards, the composer takes the audience to a colourful and challenging conclusion, recalling the spectacular masked dances of the Dogon. Dogon was written on behalf of the Kunstfactor Foundation in Utrecht (NL). The project was supported by the Music lending – and information service (MUI), which is part of the Gelderland Library Service in Arnhem (NL)

Friedensmarsch : from Rienzi

Rienzi remains one of the most popular works from the ?master of romantic opera?, Richard Wagner. The Friedensmarsch from the fourth act (scene 2) of Rienzi is subdued and solemn in character: in the sounds of this march, Rienzi strides to a stately church service. This is sure to be a very popular addition to any performance and is one not to be missed.

Robert Sheldon: Charleston Harbor Celebration

Charleston Harbor Celebration was commissioned by the Charleston Community Band of Charleston, South Carolina (Stephen B. Giove, Conductor). The band commissioned the piece to honor its past conductors -- Earl R. Mays, Edwin S. Toporek, Herbert L. Day and John R. Spitler -- for their faithful service to education, music and musicians. The piece itself is a concert overture that captures the beauty and energy of Charleston's important and historic harbor.

Te Deum : Variations on Großer Gott, wir loben Dich

Großer Gott, wir loben dich is a well-known German hymn, written by Ignaz Franz in the 18th century but based on the 4th century Te Deum laudamus. After a radiant introduction by the brass section, the first variation on the chorale appears. Subsequently, the song is rendered in its original form. Then three more variations follow. The result is a solemn work that is very fitting within the context of a church service, but is also suitable for many other occasions.

Remembrance Day

Remembrance Day (Totengedenken) is a chorale-like piece in memory of those who have died in service. Jacob de Haan composed this work for a concert by the symphonic wind orchestra Symphonic Winds, which he conducted in Germany on Volkstrauertag (national remembrance day). The composition is based on a text from Totengedenken (Commemoration of Those Who Have Died). This narrative text is provided in four languages, and is intended to be spoken (using a microphone) ad libitum during the performance. Choir parts are also available to complement the performance.

English sacred music

Publication of the complete English sacred music of George Jeffreys (c.1610–1685) opens a window on the achievement of one of the few pre-Commonwealth composers wholeheartedly committed to the contemporary Italianate stile nuovo.  Besides a quantity of sacred works in Latin, there are 26 surviving English anthems and devotional pieces, plus three settings from the Communion Service, an impressive output for someone employed for most of his life primarily as a steward to the Hatton family. Though only one of his works was published in his lifetime, Jeffreys’s compositions are preserved in several autograph manuscripts that are the basis of this edition.

Bahn frei : Track Clear ~ Laisser passez !

Eduard Strauss, the third son of Johann Strauss the Elder, was born on March 15, 1835, in Vienna. Originally, Eduard looked for employment in the diplomatic service, but he also studied music theory. He became a harpist in the Strauss orchestra in 1855. In 1862, he joined his two famous brothers Johann Jr. and Josef as a conductor of the family orchestra. Like that of his two brothers, his musical output was prolific: he wrote over 320 separate dances and marches. Apart from the exuberant Bahn Frei (Track Clear), which he wrote in 1869, and a handful of other fast polkas (he excelled in this particular dance form), his music is not as well known as that of his brothers.
