A stunning concert opener, this exciting work opens with a simple thematic statement from the trumpets [or optional solo trumpet], then takes off with pulsating percussion and low brass. The theme continues to rise to the occasion, incorporating hemiola in 6/8 time, rhythmic ostinato and fanfare, culminating in a triumphant conclusion for your performers to Seize the Day. Carpe Diem!

There are all sorts of marches: fast and slow, solemn and energetic, military and civil, procession and funeral. Orion is a so-called ‘slow march’. However the moderate tempo does not make a passive or heavy impression. On the contrary, this march contains natural optimism and spontaneity. The persistant ‘pulse’ gives this majestic march a noble character

Orion ist zwar ein langsamer Marsch, sein getragenes Tempo wirkt aber keineswegs passiv oder schwerfällig, vielmehr strahlt er natürlichen Optimismus und Spontaneität aus. Die eher einfach gehaltene Komposition ist vielseitig einsetzbar und soinstrumentiert, dass sie auch von kleineren Formationen ohne nennenswerte Veränderung im Gesamtklang gespielt werden kann. Der fast durchgehend rhythmische Puls des Schlagzeugs verleiht dem majes­tätischen Marsch das gewisse Etwas.

Orion est une marche lente qui se distingue par son caractère optimiste et sa fraîcheur. Cette marche de concert, techniquement peu exigeante, est accessible un grand nombre de formations. Le choix de l’instrumentation permet également aux petits ensembles de l’interpréter avec un rendu tout aussi homogène. La pulsation rythmique presque continue de la percussion donne cette marche majestueuse un caractère noble.

However the moderate tempo does not make a passive or heavy impression. On the contrary, this march contains natural optimism and spontaneity. The persistant ‘pulse’ gives this majestic march a noble character

Er zijn allerlei soorten marsen: snelle en langzame, plechtige en energieke, militaire en civiele, processie- en treurmarsen. Orion is een zogeheten ‘slow march’, waarin het matige tempo echter beslist geen passiviteit of logheiduitstraalt. Integendeel, deze mars is van een ongedwongen optimisme en spontaniteit. De bijna voortdurend aanwezige ritmische ‘puls’ geeft deze statige mars een nobel karakter.

Es gibt alle möglichen Arten von Märschen: schnelle und langsame, feierliche und energische, militärische und zivile, Prozessions- und Trauermärsche. Orion ist ein so genannter ‘langsamer Marsch’, sein getragenes Tempo wirkt dabei aber keineswegs passiv oder schwerfällig, vielmehr ist er voll natürlichen Optimismus’ und Spontaneität. Der fast durchgehende rhythmische ‘Puls’ verleiht dem majestätischen Marsch einen edlen Charakter.

Il existe différentes formes de marche : des marches lentes ou rapides, solennelles ou dynamiques, militaires ou classiques, des marches de procession ou des marches funèbres. Orion peut être qualifiée de “marche lente”. Toutefois, son tempo modéré ne dégage pas une impression de lourdeur ou de retenue. Bien au contraire, Orion se distingue par son caractère optimiste et sa fraîcheur naturelle. La pulsation rythmique presque continue de la percussion donne cette marche majestueuse un caractère noble.

The Concerto for Flute and Orchestra, Op. 39 was completed in September of 1992. It was commissioned by James Galway, and is dedicated to him. The work is scored for an orchestra comprised of piccolo, flute, oboe, english horn, clarinet, bass clarinet, bassoon, contrabassoon, two horns, two trumpets, timpani, percussion, harp, piano and strings. The Concerto is in three movements. The first movement, Moderato, is an arc-like form, all of whose components are in fact variations on the harmonic progression of its principal theme. The central section of this movement is a set of explicit chaconne variations on a chorale-version of this progression. The second movement, Adagio molto, presents a lyrical melody which is spun out over a pulsating syncopated ostinato which persists through the entire length of the movement. The final movement, Presto, is a virtuoso work-out for the flutist in a rondo-like form which closes with a Prestissimo coda. The Concerto for Flute and Orchestra has been recorded for release on the BMG label by James Galway with the London Mozart Players conducted by the composer.
