Par HANNICKEL MIKE. An energetic addition to your Christmas concert, the Holly Variations merges 'Deck the Hall with Boughs of Holly' (a duple-meter carol) with 'The Holly and the Ivy' (a triple-meter carol). This unlikely partnership sets the stage for some very interesting rhythmic effects as two strong and opposing meters struggle for dominance. As a striking opener or a 'contrast' piece, THE H…

Infused with latin rhythms and improvisatory jazzlike passages for the trumpet soloist, the mood of this single-movement concerto is light and effervescent. This work was awarded First Prize in the Doc Severinsen International Composition Contest and premiered by the University of Tennessee Symphony, Allen Vizzutti trumpet soloist. Length ca. 9'. / Trompette Et Orchestre

BR-CPEB D 3 (Wq 240) - Oratorio. Par BACH CARL PHILIPP EMMANUEL. Of the three oratorios which Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach composed when he was music director in Hamburg, Die Auferstehung und Himmelfahrt Jesu is particularly intended to create splendor and effect with its use of magnificent-sounding trumpets and timpani. Bach liked this work very much and had it published in 1787, the year before his…

Take Seven is a tried and trusted showpiece with audience appeal. The title Take Seven is of course a play on Paul Desmond's famous Take Five and its recording by the Dave Brubeck Quartet. As there, the rhythms in this piece are largely based on an asymmetric metre - in this case, 7/4 time. Unlike most jazz pieces with an uneven metre, however, Take Seven goes through various moods, sections and t…

a cura di Federico Maria Sardelli. Par VIVALDI ANTONIO. Among Vivaldi’s many flute and recorder concertos, two, both for transverse flute, were known until a few years ago only in incomplete form: RV 431 and 432. Both are written in the comfortable and expressive key of E minor, are transmitted inautograph manuscripts and lack their second movement (RV 432 also lacks its third movement). The seemi…

Kantate Für Einen Bußgottesdienst (Fassung In A). Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. It seems likely that the composition of this work was connected with a penitential service held in the Marienkirche in Mühlhausen to commemorate the disastrous fire which had destroyed large parts of the town on the 29th May 1707, but it has not been possible to discover documentary evidence to prove the correctness of th…
