The Baroque is a period of frills and ornaments, wether in architecture, painting or music. An easy melody passes through a variety of arrangements. From brass quintet and different tutti parts, all the sections are in action. Fortified by a drum set and an (optional) electric bass, the piece is given a modern touch and becomes more acceptable to the audience. A follow-up to Rondo Romantica, this piece was composed in December 1997. De barok: een tijdperk van speelsheid in de architectuur, de schilderkunst en de muziek. In dit werk wordt een eenvoudig in het gehoor liggende melodie door veel verschillende arrangementen geleid. Van het koperkwintet tot enkele tuttidelen zijn alle secties in actie. Versterkt door de drumset en de basgitaar krijgt het stuk een moderne touch. Hierdoor wordt het extra aantrekkelijk voor het publiek!

Ein spielerisches Barock-Thema wird durch einen flotten Schlagzeug-Rhythmus unterlegt und wird somit zu einer swingenden Nummer für Ihr nächstes Konzert!

Dans ce morceau, la mélodie simple est jouée plusieurs fois dans des arrangements différents. Tous les pupitres sont sollicités afin que l’on entende aussi bien des tutti que des interventions du quintette de cuivres. La batterie et la guitare basse donnent au morceau une touche moderne très attrayante. Rondo Barocco, qui s’inscrit dans la lignée de Rondo Romantica, est une oeuvre adaptée aux orchestres juniors et aux formations plus expérimentées.Il barocco: uno stile e un’epoca contraddistinti dalla leggerezza che ha infl uenzato tutti i campi artistici (architettura, pittura, musica, ecc.).

The Cat's Meow is straight-ahead swinger in the same vein as Benny Golson's classic Killer Joe. The melody is a very simple riff that repeats at different levels over the course of the form. The cat who inspired the tune is a furry exotic Persian named Berlioz who took up residence in the composer's house. Like most cats, his life consists mainly of eating and sleeping. He most often resides at the top of the stairs, and never bothers to try to get out of the way.
