Grim : Folkloric Pastiche for Wind Band

Grim was commissioned by Sandviken Ungdomskorps in 1998. Grim is a folkloristic pastiche, but also with a jazz-flavoured inspiration. The piece ends with the folk-music played on top of a theme from a march: "Sandvikguttenes marsj" to salute the band that commissioned the music. The title is taken from the word "grimen", a kind of troll that lives in water. He teaches fiddlers how to play if they offer him food a Thursday night in a north-faced waterfall.Grim was commissioned by Sandviken Ungdomskorps in 1998.

CONCERTO FOR SAXOPHONE, PIANO AND ORCHESTRA

CONCERTO FOR SAXOPHONE, PIANO AND ORCHESTRA

Concerto for Trumpet No. 1: Trumpet Town : for Solo Bb Trumpet & Orchestra

Composer Otto M. Schwarz completed his first Concerto for trumpet in October 2009. Schwarz displays a special knack in writing for this instrument, thanks to his trumpet studies undertaken with Professor Josef Pomberger at the Music Conservatory in Vienna. Concerto for Trumpet No. 1 ‚Trumpet Town’ was commissioned by the police-orchestra of Upper Austria, under the baton of Andreas Schwarzenlander. The work was premiered on 17 November 2009. The soloist for the evening was trumpeter Franz Wagnermeyer, who also studied at the Vienna Conservatory and who currently performs with, amongst others, the international group “Ten of the Best”. A rapid flourish in 12/8 time opens Concerto for Trumpet No. 1 ‘Trumpet Town’. The metric changes that follow affect the pulse rhythmically and melodically, in exciting and unexpected ways. The solo trumpet’s displays of technical prowess and bravura alternate with the film-score-like tutti sections of the brass ensemble. The slow, almost elegiac, central section can be performed on the flugel horn, while the closing reprise demands that both the soloist and the orchestra give of their best as the piece comes to an exciting, colourful, and uplifting finale. This piece is also available for trumpet and piano.

These societies were often closely connected with professional associations, making them equally important for musical and social matters.This volume contains five occasional works for male choir with accompaniment that were composed between around 1838 and 1883. Three of them were intended for church usage (two funerals and one wedding).Among the works for equal voices and accompaniment in this volume, “Aarstidsbilleder” op. 51 is the longest. It was composed for the women of The MusicSociety in Copenhagen and conducted by Gade himself during the 1871/72 seasons.The appendix contains works that were completed, but do not allow for definitive decisions regarding their final presentation.

Works For Mixed Choir and Orchestra

This volume of “Œuvres complètes de Gabriel Fauré” contains Fauré’s four secular choral works in their orchestral arrangements, namely “Les Djinns”, “La Naissance de Vénus”, “Madrigal”, and “Pavane”. These works were composed between 1876 and 1887; thereafter Fauré wrote choral compositions based only on sacred texts. The first three works are presented here for the first time in a full score edition, previously having been published only in their versions with piano accompaniment. This edition is therefore the first to present the works with an authoritative musical text based on the careful study of the sources.“Les Djinns” (1876-76) for mixed choir and orchestrais based on the famous poem by Victor Hugo first published in the collection “Les Orientales”, while “La Naissance de Vénus” (1882) for soloists, choir and orchestra is based on a text by Paul Collin. “Madrigal”, the orchestral version of which cannot be dated with certainty (around 1891, for a quartet of soloists or choir) has been composed after a poem by Armand Silvestre, and the famous “Pavane”, originally composed for orchestra and only later supplemented with a text by Symbolist poet Robert de Montesquiou, is presented here in an elegant, graceful version with female choir.
