The Third Symphony is scored for full orchestra constructed in four movements strictly following the High Classical and Romantic traditions with a tragic and expansive overture (Adagio lamentoso & Allegro marziale) a symphonicnocturne (Andante molto expressivo) a light and quick scherzo (Presto) and a vibrant rondo-finale (Molto allegro). The “Hero” in the subtitle does not represent any human figure but to art itself and its failingsocial status. The music is grand and highly emotional containing rich folk elements that strive to prove the unity between an ethnical spirit and the meaning of selfhood. (2012) ca. 32'

Wish You Were Here written for the Boston Pops pays homage to Colin McPhee one of the first western musicologists to study Balinese gamelan as well as to the great illustrators Carl Barks and Herge (responsible for Donald Duck & Tintin respectively). Muhly has written a completely romantic and fanciful gamelan-influenced piece. On top of this twittery and excited music a long lonesome melody unfolds. After a desolate interlude with severe ship’s-horn brass the energetic patterns start again and the long line returns this time with a triumphant revelatory ending. Arranged for orchestra this piece has a duration ofapproximately 8 minutes.

The Darkness of Fury is a contemplation of the brutality of war especially the wars of the Middle East since 1948. Following a brief and violent introduction a terse chromatic Fugue from Hell ensues--demons chasing demons. A romantic transition played by the strings is a fleeting ray of hope for peace. But this is short lived as the Fugue returns bringing the piece to its brutal and violent end.

Caroline Mathilde Act I (Concert Suite)-The story centres on the English princess Caroline Mathilde (1751-1775) sister of George III who at the age of 15 was sent to Denmark to marry the 17-year-old eccentric and schizophrenic Danish King Christian VII. The balletportrays her unhappy marriage the King's growing madness and her fatal love-affair with Struensee the King's influential physician which leads to their arrest his execution and her exile at the age of 20 separated from hertwo young children. In keeping with the period and perhaps also with the traditions of Romantic ballet the music is relatively simple in harmony and form and most of the action is conveyed in set-piece dances. The suite which consists essentially of the second half of Act I begins with one of these a bristling interplay of wind and string ensembles in D major portraying in the ballet a curious nuptial game with the king and princess on movablepedestals. The slow music that follows has to do with the king's healing by Dr. Struensee and the new queen's unquiet reverie (oboe and cor anglais solos). Then the suite like the act is capped by a pair of pas-de-deux thefirst savage and bizarre for the royal couple the second rich and passionate for the queen and the miracle-working doctor.Score (miniature). Duration c. 25mins.

Among the most popular of Mahler's symphonic works the 7th symphony has neither a program nor a folk-song theme. It is a purely instrumental composition both hopeful and romantic in feeling. The restrained mood and thematic economy of the symphony make it one of the least extravagant of the composer's works; it is also one of the most approachable. Now music lovers can study this edition of the complete score reprinted from the authoritative German edition of 1909.

Nacht Und Trompeten by Hans Abrahamsen (1981). Programme note: The piece is dedicated to Hans Werner Henze from whose request the piece arose. The music unfolds in a space in which the memory of the earlier music has the same reality as the music of today. But the music of the memory is naturally distant and vague whereas the music of today is present and gesticulated.In the opening section the past and the present are clearly separated but during the piece this balance is lifted as 'the music of the past' (trumpet signals Sicilian melodicity romantic Pathos strawinskian neo-classicism) in a dynamic andoften dramatic surrealistic play with minimalism and modernism of today is unravelled.

Score-Just as the Payne/Elgar Symphony No. 3 is not Edward Elgar's definitive statement Mahler did not complete a Symphony No. 10. He did however leave 'a work fully prepared in the sketch ' the complete unorchestrated musical material. Had he lived Mahler would almost certainly have shaped the material further. This means that the performance edition prepared by Deryck Cooke in the early 1960s is not a completion it's an orchestration of the short score left at Mahler's death in 1911. It nevertheless sounds very 'complete ' both in itself and as a summation of the romantic-epic 19th century German musical tradition.
