This major concert work cosists o five movements.1st movement: La Laguna del ShimbeSituated high up in the Andes mountains in Northern Peru are the Huaringas, a group of lagoons in isolated and mysterious surroundings. The water has healing powersand for centuries traditional healers have settled there in small villages. From far the sick come to the Huaringas to be treated in nightly rituals, in which the hallucinating juice of the San Pedro cactus gives the prophet a look inside hispatient. The biggest lagoon is the “Laguna del Shimbe”, one of the countless wells of the immense Amazon stream.2nd movement: Los AguarunasFurther downstream in Northern Peru we come across the rain tribe of Los Aguarunas. It’s a proud, beautiful andindependent race, which has never succumbed to domination, not even from the Incas. They live from everything the forest has to offer: fish, fruit, plants, ... . They also grow some crops and live as semi-nomads. They take their fate into their ownhands and after having made contact with modern civilisation, they have integrated new elements into their lives without betraying their own ways.3rd movement: MekaronMekaron is an Indian word meaning “picture”, “soul”, “essence”. The Indians are theorigina inhabitants of the Amazon region. They either live in one place as a group or move around a large region. They all have their own political system, their own language and an intense social life. At the same time they are master of music andmedicine. “Everywhere the white man goes, he leaves a wilderness behind him”, wrote the North American Indian leader Seatl in 1885. As a result of these contacts with the whites, the disruption of most Indian societies began. (In this century alone,80 tribes have vanished completely).4th movement: KêêtuajêThis is the name of the initiating ceremony of the Krahô tribe in the Brazilian state of Goias, in which young boys and girls enter adult life. They are cleansed with water, painted with redpaint and covered with feathers, after which the ritual dance holds the entire tribe spell-bound.5th movement: Paulino FaiakanIn 1988 the Indian chiefs Faiakan and Raoni Kaiapo came to Europe to protest against the building of the Altamira dam inBrazil. As a result of the dam the Indians would be driven from their traditional land and enormous artificial would be created. The project was supported financially by, amongst others, the European Community. In February 1989 the Indian tribesaround Altamira held a protest march for the first time in their history together. Amongst other things they paid tribute tot Chico Mendez, who, murdered in 1988, was the leader of the rubber syndicate and a fierce opponent of the destruction of theBrazilian rain forest. Brazilian and world opinion was awakened. The building of the dam was -albeit temporarily - stopped.

The conservation of rainforests is a world issue of concern to us all. Through the study and performance of this musical, children can actively learn about the vital preservation process, which is needed to save these regions from destruction and over-exploitation. The Emerald Crown is the term given to the luscious green canopy that covers the Amazonian rainforest. Under attack from profit-hungry developers, the jungle richness and tranquillity is protected in this story by its animals, led by the 'rapper' Toucan and the 'Amazon Aristocrat' Jaguar. Debbie Campbell's witty verses and catchy songs are complemented by Tim Stevens' captivating illustrations, which bring the jungle and animal characters alive, making The Emerald Crown an excellent resource for classroom activity as well as performances. Ideal for primary and lower secondary schools (Key Stages 2 - 3). Published in association with the World Wide Fund for Nature: income from the sale and performance of this work benefits the WWF.

Zur Entstehung arteigener Originalliteratur fur jedes Musikinstrument sind mehrere Voraussetzungen notwendig: das neue Instrument muss spieltechnisch relativ ausgereift sein; Interpreten, die hohen kunstlerischen Anspruchen genugen, sind erforderlich; dem Neuen gegenuber aufgeschlossene Komponisten mussen die typischen Klangmoglichkeiten dieses Instrumentes erkennen und fur ihr Schaffen zu nutzen verstehen. Oft liegen die Wurzeln der Literatur - und da macht das Akkordeon keine Ausnahme - in der Folklore, oder man sucht mehr oder weniger erfolgreich Wege in die professionelle Musik, die sich aber nicht immer als asthetisch vertretbar erweisen, bis es zur Herausbildung eben jener eigenstandigen ,,Originalliteratur kommen kann. So musste auch das Akkordeon mehr als 100 Jahre warten, bis ihm durch Hugo Herrmanns ,,Sieben neue Spielmusiken 1927 der Weg in den Konzertsaal geoffnet wurde. Im folgenden Zeitraum schrieben die Komponisten in aller Welt eine unterdessen schier unubersehbar gewordene Zahl von Solo und Kammermusikwerken, fuhrten das Akkordeon in die Sinfonik und die Oper ein. Dabei versteht es sich von selbst, dass die Tonsprache der Gegenwart dominiert. Will der Padagoge seinen Akkordeonschulern jedoch eine musikalisch umfassende Allgemeinbildung vermitteln, ist er auf Transkriptionen, wie sie fur die Instrumente in allen Epochen der Musikgeschichte nachweisbar sind, angewiesen. Gerade die aktive Beschaftigung mit der Musik der letzten Jahrhunderte zeigt, wie sich ein Entwicklungsprozess in Europa vollzog, der z. B. das harmonische Klangempfinden der Wiener Klassik aus Ansatzen allmahlich vorbereitete, zur Blute brachte und wieder aufloste. Harmoniefolgen aus der Zeit vor Johann Sebastian Bach konnen uns heute ebenso fremd beruhren wie solche, die Komponisten unseres Jahrhunderts aufzeichneten. Wir erkennen, dass alle entstandenen Werte aus der Sicht formaler, polyphoner oder harmonischer Betrachtungsweise gewissermassen nur Durchgangsstation, Anregung fur weitere Entwicklungen sein konnen. Die vorliegende Sammlung mochte dem Akkordeonschuler eine musikhistorische Orientierung geben, welche sich auf die Bereiche beschrankt, die dem Akkordeon besonders entgegenkommen. Im Interesse der Vielfalt wurden kleine Formen bevorzugt, die typische Klangelemente ihrer Zeit enthalten. Meistens entstammen sie der sogenannten Gebrauchsmusik, welche sich ohnehin nicht an starre Besetzungsformen hielt und mehr oder weniger Bestandteil unterhaltender Musik war. Um einen moglichst anschaulichen Uberblick zu geben, wurden die Kompositionen chronologisch geordnet. Unvermeidbar war die deutliche Lucke aus der Zeit nach der Wiener Klassik. In den Werken aus dieser Zeit findet sich fast immer eine sehr starke klangliche Fixierung auf eine vom Komponisten bestimmte Instrumentation, welche eine Bearbeitung fur Akkordeon als asthetisch nicht vertretbar erscheinen lasst. Trotz dieser Einschrankung kann dieser Band praktisch als ,,Musikgeschichte fur den Akkordeonisten bis zum Beginn der Originalliteratur fur Akkordeon angesehen werden. Fast alle Stucke sind auf dem Standardbass-Akkordeon ausfuhrbar und von geringem Schwierigkeitsgrad. Nur wenige benotigen fur ihre Interpretation ein Instrument mit sogenannten Baritonbassen (Melodiebass-Manual). Solche sind dem professionell-interessier ten Spieler vorbehalten, sollen dem konzertierenden Solisten Anregung zur selbstandigen Literaturauswahl nach Originalvorlagen geben, wie sie sich in den Kompositionen fur Orgel, Cembalo oder Klavier finden lassen. Helmut Reinbothe, Januar 1980.
