For many years, I have been repeatedly asked by solo guitarists and guitar duos to write pieces for them. The Aleph Guitar Quartet and I have finally brought it off! The piece is called Der entkommene Orpheus (The Escaped Orpheus).In the old equal rights movement everything was treated as equally as possible, right from the beginning. The tones felt democratically happy. Only discontent found cause to complain. It ultimately hated this complex explicitness. The meaning, also in cases of definite tendencies in the piece, should never be able to lead a definite life. This piece, naturally, is just a tiny contribution!In the myth, Orpheus even enchanted stones and trees, turned around too soon to look at his beloved Eurydice (just think of the punctuality fanatic Schonberg - at least according to Richard Buhlig), refused the service of Dionysus - and he, who had plucked the strings of the lyre his whole life long, was now himself torn up by the Thracian Maenads as a punishment. But his head and his lyre floated over the sea and landed on Lesbos. A string is a string is a side!!!Like a coded word, this text is placed at the service of the varied role of the organiser of New Music. Like an equation. Shouldn't an organiser ever actually turn around towards a lover, so that the Furies of present-day responsibility do not drive him into a state of inner conflict?Nicolaus A.

Jacques Offenbach was born in 1819 in Cologne, Germany, but as a child he moved to Paris where he received a thorough musical education. In his operetta Orpheus in the Underworld, Offenbach parodies the famous Greek legend of Orpheus and Euridice. Indirectly, however, he criticises the complacency of many of his contemporaries. The overture was not written entirely by Offenbach, Carl Binder added various pieces to it for a Viennese production of this operetta in 1860 and since then, these pieces have remained part of the composition. This appealing transcription includes the famous Can Can which is sure to get your audience high kicking in the aisles!

In de operette Orphée aux Enfers (Orpheus in de onderwereld) parodieert Offenbach het beroemde verhaal van Orpheus en Euridice uit de oude Griekse sagenwereld - indirect stelt hij echter de zelfgenoegzaamheid van veelvan zijn tijdgenoten aan de kaak. De ouverture is niet geheel van Offenbachs hand. Carl Binder heeft er diverse stukken aan toegevoegd voor een Weense productie in 1860, en die zijn er sindsdien in gebleven. Wil van der Beek maakteeen transcriptie voor harmonieorkest van de aanstekelijke ouverture - waarin natuurlijk de beroemde cancan is verwerkt.

In seiner Operette Orpheus in der Unterwelt (Orphée aux Enfers) parodiert Offenbach die berühmte Erzählung von Orpheus und Eurydike aus der klassischen griechischen Sagenwelt. Indirekt kritisiert er darin jedoch die Selbstgefälligkeit vieler seiner Zeitgenossen. Die Ouvertüre schrieb Offenbach nicht ganz alleine; Carl Binder fügte einige Stücke für eine Wiener Produktion dieser Operette im Jahr 1860 hinzu. Diese Stücke blieben seither Teil der Ouvertüre. Wil van der Beek schuf eine Transkription für Blasorchester dieser reizvollen Ouvertüre, die auch den berühmten Cancan enthält.

Jacques Offenbach (1819-1880) cultivait l’art d’ironiser sur la frivolité des moeurs parisiennes, sur l’amour, la vie politique et la vie militaire. Son opérette Orphée aux Enfers (1858) est une parodie du mythe grec d’Orphée et Eurydice, mais sous le masque de l’antiquité, il se livre une critique sévère de l’attitude suffisante de nombreux de ses contemporains. L’Ouverture telle que nous la connaissons aujourd’hui n’est pas la version originale d’Offenbach, mais une version complétée par Carl Binder pour une production Vienne en 1860. Wil van der Beek en a réalisé une transcription irrésistible qui contient le pétillant Cancan, l’une des pages les plus célèbres de lapartition.

Jacques Offenbach (1819-1880) coltivava l’arte di ironizzare sulla frivolezza delle abitudini parigine, sull’amore, sulla vita politica e la vita militare. La sua operetta Orfeo agli Inferni (1858) è una parodia del mito greco di Orfeo ed Euridice, ma dietro la facciata dell’antichit , si abbandona ad una critica severa del comportamento di sufficienza di numerosi suoi contemporanei. L’Ouverture come noi la conosciamo oggi, non è la versione originale di Offenbach, ma una versione completata da Carl Binder per una produzione a Vienna nel 1860. Wil van der Beek ne ha realizzato una trascrizione irresistibile che contiene il brillante Cancan, una delle pagine più celebri dellospartito.
