Pasadena

SKU: BT.DHP-1012551-030

This piece takes you on a journey to the sunny Californian city of Pasadena. The piece reflects two contrasting aspects of the city,. Firstly the serene expressive side with exquisite statues, works of art and sun drenched villas and secondly the hot Latin side with the street parade which leads up to the famous American Football final in the Rose Bowl stadium.

Pasadena ist nach der gleichnamigen kalifornischen Stadt benannt. Das Werk beschreibt diese auf zwei unterschiedliche Weisen. Im ersten Teil der Komposition kommt ein expressives Element zum Ausdruck; hier finden mit Statuen geschmückte, imposante Villen ihren musikalischen Niederschlag. Ganz anders ist der zweite Teil im Swing-Rhythmus und Latin-Rock-Stil. Er beschreibt das traditionelle Footballspiel um den 'Rose Bowl' am Neujahrstag, dem die Parade 'Tournament of Roses' vorangeht. Kontrastiv und überzeugend!

Cette œuvre du compositeur hollandais Jacob de Haan tient son nom de la ville de Pasadena en Californie, située au pied de la chaîne de montagnes San Gabriel dans les environs de Los Angeles. Pasadena est une fresque musicale qui dépeint l’environnement et l’architecture de la ville californienne et l’événement sportif qui s’y déroule chaque année : le Rose Bowl, le plus célèbre des matchs de football américain. Une rencontre inédite entre la culture, le sport et la musique.

In Poseidon, commissioned by the National Symphony Orchestra of Washington and Mstislav Rostropovich, Bergman turns to the Greek god of the sea and lord of the earthquake as a symbol for primaeval power and the wellspring of creativity. In the ocean depths - the subconscious - power stirs and rises to the threshold of consciousness. It projects itself into the second movement's eruption of energy, after which follows recovery and calm. Composed in 1992.

Concert Duets is a collection of 14 arrangements of works by prominent 18th-century composers, mostly taken from Trio Sonatas. Duet 11 is a Jim Self original work in the Rococo style; and Duets 12, 13 and 14 are arrangements of the three-movements of the Bach Concerto for Two Violins. Included with this edition are play-along recorded tracks by tubist Zach Collins, who also served as editor of the current edition.

I created these duets as Christmas gifts for my tuba playing friends, with the first duet being arranged in 1976. All 14 of the duets are challenging and fun to play and are especially effective as concert pieces.

As a young musician I had the privilege of playing duets with many of the world’s finest tubists including Harvey Phillips, John Fletcher, Bob Pallansch, Chester, Schmitz, Dan Perantoni, Toby Hanks, Ron Bishop, Winston Morris and Tommy Johnson. I learned more about playing music in these duo sessions than from any other musical activity I have ever experienced. Duets are powerful teaching tools for learning and mastering rhythm, phrasing and intonation and for developing overall musicianship.
