Rudolf Stephans Gesammelte Vortrage aus den Jahren 1964-1984 lassen die Grundintentionen seines wissenschaftlichen Arbeitens deutlich hervortreten: das musikalische Werk als individuelle Manifestation musikalischen Denkens zu begreifen. Stets stellt er die Musik selbst in den Mittelpunkt und sucht ihre Gesetzmassigkeiten und Strukturen aufzuspuren, zu beschreiben und zu begrunden. Mit Texten zu musikalischen Grundfragen, zum Schaffen der grossen Komponisten von Bach bis Reger sowie zu Musik und Musikern des 20. Jahrhunderts, ursprunglich konzipiert fur den lebendigen mundlichen Vortrag, bietet dieser Band einen reprasentativen Uberblick uber die Arbeit des bedeutenden Musikforschers.

Grundlage der von namhaften Musikwissenschaftlern erarbeiteten 35 Werkdarstellungen von Guillaume de Machaut uber Orlando di Lasso, Bach, Schubert und Brahms bis Schonberg und Britten ist die Interpretation der in Wort und Ton fixierten musikalischen Texte, die Erorterung von deren ideengeschichtlichem Zusammenhang und kunstgeschichtlichem Wesen unter vielfaltigen Gesichtspunkten.

Ecce Sacerdos Magnus (Behold the Great Priest) comes from the early European tradition of plainchant. Bruckner's setting of the responsory, originally scored for eight-part mixed choir, organ and three trombones, brings certain medieval qualities to an otherwise Romantic-era composition. This transcription for 10-part brass choir is appropriate for intermediate level and above and attempts to retain the majesty, power, and beauty of the original piece. It should be approached as a choral piece: connected and fluid. The harmonic language is essentially triadic; great care should be taken in the tuning of each chord throughout the piece. Instrumentation is for: 3 Trumpets in B-flat, 2 Horns, 3 Trombones, Euphonium and Tuba. Listen to the live performance by a young group of musicians conducted by Dr. Paul Stevens, Professor of Horn at KU.

Bruckner's Pange Lingua motet, composed in 1868 is a hymn by the thirteenth-century theologian, St. Thomas Aquinas. The setting of the simple hymn is chorale-like, with the same music used for all three verses, and a lovely Amen being added to mark its finish. The text haunted Bruckner since his early years and he wrote a few settings of it during his lifetime. The music with all of its simplicity has some unexpected dissonances. Mr. Sauer's lovely arrangement of about 3 minutes in length is appropriate for moderately advanced performers.

Symphony No. 4, also known by the composer himself as the Romantic was written in 1874, but revised several times and premiered in 1881 in Vienna. The subtitle actually does not refer to romantic love, but a medieval romance such as some of Wagner's operas. The movement titled Scherzo is full of adventure and vitality with a relaxed middle section. Bruckner himself hinted that the Scherzo movement was a Jadthema or hunting theme and Volkfest or people's festival. The hunting horns are calling, the brass are blowing their fanfares and it is a good day to be hunting. The main feeling from this movement is a strong feeling of the great outdoors. Mr. Johns has arranged this work for 14-part brass ensemble including optional Timpani. The instrumentation is: 4 Trumpets (including piccolo, C, B-flat and Flugelhorn), 4 Horns, 4 Trombones, Euphonium and Tuba (optional Timpani).This work is suitable for advanced performers and is about 5 minutes in length.
