Aurora est le nom latin de la déesse de l?aube dans la mythologie grecque incarnant le commencement d?un jour nouveau. Dans beaucoup de cultures anciennes l?aube a un sens spirituel : la lumière du jour est victorieuse de l?obscurité de la nuit. Dans Aurora Thomas Doss donne une illustration des différentes façons de saluer les premières lueurs du jour selon les cultures et les civilisations. On entend notamment les gongs et les instruments de percussion mélodiques des moines d?Asie l?accueil passionné offert au lever du soleil dans le désert en Afrique les danses des premiers habitants du continent américain les Indiens rythmées par le battement des pieds sur lesol et l?activité industrieuse des cultures occidentales d?aujourd?hui où la dimension mystique de l?aube n?est pas perçue. Aurora reflète ces différentes atmosphères mais l?accent est placé plus particulièrement sur les sonorités orientales - la musique symbolise ainsi en premier lieu les pays du Levant.

From the composer: High Flyers are regarded as people with promise and potential.They are winners. This is music for winners.The title as well as being a play-on-words implies the nature of the work. It is a bright optimistic and upbeat piece attempting to depict an exhilarating ride on flying carpet. The opening rising chords immediately suggest the gentle elevation of the carpets' ascent towards unknown heights leading to a hint of a first theme in the horns at Fig. B. The first four notes provide the thematic material for the whole work: C F G A.A perpetual sense of movement is achieved through accented quaver chords punctuating the melodicmaterial of the first main theme. Fig. E sees the music of the opening bars fully realised with flourishes from the euphonium and baritones representing swirling clouds shooting stars or passing birds in flight.The same subject is developed into a lyrical second theme with a new lush harmonic treatment evocative of gliding over an expanse of sparse countryside.This section ends with a note of serenity but is shattered by the urgent insistence of the percussion rhythms.The third section introduces a new idea with a slightly distorted fanfare in the cornets and trombones. This figure suggests for the first time that there may be trouble ahead. In fact there is no need to fear and the journey can continue without aggravation. This fanfare returns near the end to signal a final note of triumph.A new rhythmic variant of the cell motif emerges as the third theme now transformed by the addition of a triplet figure. The music steadily gains momentum before moving inexorably towards the climactic return of the music and tonality of the opening bars of the piece.

In 'Ding Dong it's Christmas' Scottish composer Bruce Fraser makes a sport of misleading his audience time and again. The title already indicates that this piece has been based on the well-known Carol 'Ding Dong Merrily on High' even if the melody makes a somewhat halting start. When it gathers pace however also due to the percussion section suddenly various other carols may be recognized. Peace and quiet reign in the middle part during which we can enjoy Bach's charming 'O Jesulein süss'. 'Ding Dong it's Christmas' ends in the same way it began even if more and more Carols put in an appearance. Merry Christmas!
