The Golden Age is a programmatic composition in four movements. I Overture For the Netherlands, the seventeenth century was a period of great flourishing in the fields of economy, culture and politics; thus it is called the Golden Age. Overseas trade boomed, and the Dutch East India Company (known as the VOC by the Dutch) was founded and expanded to become a powerful -and, at the time - modern enterprise. II ¡Adiós españoles!(Farewel l, Spaniards!) In 1567, the Spanish army invaded, led by the Duke of Alva. There was a fierce resistance against the Spanish tyranny; toward the end of the sixteenth century, the Dutch proclaimed theRepublic. However, the Spanish continued the war. Only with the Treaty of Münster in 1648 did the Dutch get their much sought-after independence. This was also the end of the Eighty Years’ War. III Rembrandt’s Night WatchThe field of culture, particularly literature, painting, sculpture, architecture, the art of printing, and cartography developed fast. It was in the Golden Age that the celebrated painter Rembrandt van Rijn created his famous Night Watch. IV The Admiral Overseas trade entailed the colonization of large areas in Asia, from where precious products that yielded lots of money were brought in. Surrounding countries were also involved in such practices. Colonizers poached on each other’s territories in the literal and figurative sense - in this context the Anglo-Dutch Sea Wars are legendary. The fourth movement starts with the English patriotic song Rule Britannia, after which the Dutch Admiral Michiel de Ruyter makes the English change their tune; one can even hear the roaring of cannons. When the smoke of battle has cleared, a small fragment of a Dutch song about Michiel de Ruyter appears, followed by a fitting closing. The Golden Age is een programmatische compositie in vier delen. Overtureverklankt de Gouden Eeuw, voor Nederland een periode van grote bloei. Dan volgt ¡Adiós españoles! over het einde van de Tachtigjarige Oorlog.Rembrandt†s Night Watch beschrijft de ontwikkeling op cultureel gebied: in de Gouden Eeuw schilderde Rembrandt van Rijn zijn beroemde Nachtwacht. Deel vier, The Admiral, begint met Rule Britannia,waarna de Nederlandse admiraal Michiel de Ruyter de Engelsen een toontje lager laat zingen, er is zelfs kanongebulder te horen. Dan klinkt een fragment van het Nederlandse liedje dat aan Michiel de Ruyter is gewijd, waarna een passendslot volgt.The Golden Age ist eine programmatische Komposition in vier Sätzen über das so genannte “Goldene Zeitalter“ in der Geschichte der Niederlande. In dieser Periode erlebte das Land eine Blütezeit des (Übersee-)Handels, der Kultur und Politik, es befreite sich von der spanischen Herrschaft, brachte Kunstwerke wie Rembrandt’s Nachtwache hervor und entwickelte sich zu einer Kolonialmacht. Die Aufmerksamkeit der Zuhörer ist bei Kees Schoonenbeeks spannender musikalischer Geschichtsstunde garantiert!Apràs une guerre qui dura 80 ans, l'Espagne reconnut finalement l'indépendance des Provinces-Unies néerlandaises, qui devinrent alors l’une des plus importantes puissances maritimes et économiques du XVIIe siècle. Cette période est connue sous le nom de Siècle d’or (The Golden Age) et correspond une phase de développement exceptionnel des Pays-Bas tant sur le plan colonial et militaire que sur le plan culturel, intellectuel et artistique. Dopo una guerra che durò 80 anni, la Spagna riconobbe l’indipendenza delle Province-Unite olandesi che divennero potenze marittime ed economiche del XVII secolo. Questo periodo è conosciuto con il nome di Secolo d’Oro (The Golden Age) e corrisponde ad una fase di sviluppo eccezionale dei Paesi Bassi sia sul piano coloniale e militare, sia sul piano culturale, intellettuale e artistico.

This work follows my Quartet No. 1 by five years. In terms of style and aesthetic aim, however, it seems light years away. Where the first work, a 28-minute, four-movement piece, took aim at cosmic conflicts and heroic resolutions, the present work is intended as a kind of divertissment. Harbor Music lasts a mere eleven minutes, is cast in a single movement with six sections, and should leave both performers and listeners with a feeling of good humor and affection. The title comes from my experience as a guest in the magnificent city of Sydney, Australia. One of its most attractive features is its unique system of ferry boats: the city is laid out around a large, multi-channeled harbor, with destinations more easily approached by water than by land. Consequently, inhabitants of Sydney get around on small, people-friendly boats that come and go from the central docks at Circular Quay. During a week's visit in 1991, I must have boarded these boats at least a dozen times, always bound for a new location - the resort town of Manley, or the Zoo at Taronga Park, or the shopping district at Darling Harbour. In casting about for a form for my second string quartet, a kind of loose rondo came to mind. Each new destination would be approached from the same starting-out point (although there are subtle variations in the repeating theme; it's always in a new key, and the texture is never the same). The result, I hope, is a sense of constant new information presented with introductory frames of a more familiar nature. The embarkation theme, which begins the piece, is a sort of bi-tonal fanfare in which the violins are in G major and the viola and cello are in B-flat major. It is bold, eager, and forward-looking. The first voyage maintains this bi-tonality, beginning as a 9/8 due for second violin and viola in a kind of rocking motion -much as a boat produces when reaching the deeper water in the harbor. A sweet, nostalgic theme emerges over this rocking accompaniment. This music is developed somewhat, then transforms quickly into a much faster and lighter episode, filled with rising and falling scales (again, in differing keys). A scherzando interlude in short notes and changing meters provides contrast, and the episode ends with a reprise of the scales. The second embarkation follows, this time in A major/C major. It leads quickly into a very warm and slow theme, in wide-leaping intervals for the viola. This section is interrupted twice by solo cadenzas for the cello, suggesting distant boat-horns in major thirds. The end of the episode becomes a transition, with boat-horns leading into the final appearance of the embarkation music, this time in trills and tremolos instead of sharply accented chords. The nostalgic theme of the first episode makes a final appearance, serving now as a coda. The rocking motion continues, in a lullaby fashion, leaving us drowsy and satisfied on our homeward journey. Harbor Music was written for the Cavani Quartet, and is dedicated to Richard J. Bogomolny. Commissioned by his employees at First National Supermarkets as a gift, it represents a thank you from many of the people (including this composer) who have benefitted from his vision and generosity. An ardent advocate of chamber music (and a cellist himself), Mr. Bogomolny has for many years been Chairman of the Board of Chamber Music America. -- Dan Welcher.

This stately opening work begins in the low register with a broad main theme from the low brass immediately setting the tone. Gradually other sections and registers enter and despite retaining a majestic character the rhythmic element becomes more active. This work makes truly creative use of sound, without great virtuosity or complexity, but maintains a good balance between static and dynamic elements. Dit statige openingswerk begint in het lage register en etaleert een breed hoofdthema waarin het lage koper meteen de toon zet, gesteund door een continue slagwerkcadans. Geleidelijk komen ook andere secties en registers aan bod enwordt het ritmische element actiever, al bewaart het geheel een gedragen karakter. Het gaat om een echt klankstuk, zonder een grote virtuositeit of complexiteit, maar met een prima evenwicht tussen statische en dynamische elemeten.Dieses majestätische Eröffnungswerk beginnt im tiefen Register und präsentiert ein breit angelegtes Hauptthema, in welchem das tiefe Blech sofort den Ton angibt, unterstützt von einer durchgehenden Kadenz in den Schlaginstrumenten. Nach und nach erscheinen andere Orchesterteile und Register und das rhythmische Element wird aktiver, wobei der majestätische Charakter jedoch erhalten bleibt. Ein Werk, das voll und ganz auf Klang aufbaut, ohne große Virtuosität oder Komplexität, jedoch mit einer perfekten Balance zwischen statischen und dynamischen Elementen.Cette majestueuse pièce d’ouverture débute dans un paysage sonore grave et profond où retentit un thème ample et généreux, joué par les cuivres graves, sur un mouvement continu de la percussion. Le ton est donné. Petit petit, de nouveaux pupitres intègrent harmonieusement le développement et complètent les zones de timbre. La cellule rythmique s’intensifie sans toutefois influencer le caractère majestueux de l’oeuvre. The Swan on the Hill est sans grande difficulté technique, mais nécessite un travail approfondi de l’environnement sonore afin d’obtenir un bon équilibre entre les éléments musicaux statiques et dynamiques.Questo maestoso brano di apertura inizia su un passaggio sonoro grave e profondo dove echeggia un tema ampio e generoso, eseguito dagli ottoni gravi, su un movimento continuo delle percussioni. Poco a poco, altre sezioni della banda integrano armoniosamente lo sviluppo e completano le zone di timbro. La cellula ritmica si intensifica senza tuttavia influenzare il carattere maestoso del brano. The Swan on the Hill non pone grandi difficolt tecniche, ma richiede un lavoro profondo sulle dinamiche, al fine di ottenere un buon equilibrio tra gli elementi musicali statici e dinamici.

Comentarios del Espanol:El Trio Hesperia surgio gracias a la iniciativa del pianista Dani Ligorio. Fue el quien me sugirio la idea de escribir una obra para la formacion en la que intervenia, el TRIO LOM, del que tambien forman parte Joan Orpella al violin y Jose Mor al violonchelo. En poco tiempo la obra se interpreto asiduamente. Es frecuente que, cuando escribo por primera vez para un tipo de formacion determinada, en este caso el trio para piano, violin y violonchelo, realice un homenaje a la tradicion. Es lo que desee en esta primera incursion en el genero. La obra es de estructura clasica, con un lenguaje que en ciertos momentos alude a la tradicion folclorica iberica. Formalmente hay una alusion a la sonata en el segundo movimiento mientras que el primero es mas libre y anuncia los temas que apareceran mas tarde en el Allegro. --Domenec Gonzalez de la Rubia.

The ambitious late work of Georg Philipp Telemann, consciously dedicated to vocal composition, begins with the Donner-Ode (1756/1760). As a symbol thunder represents the forces of nature, here in close connection to the traumatic earthquake of Lisbon in 1755. The characteristic arrangement of the vocal parts and the scoring with three trumpets, the soloistic use of the timpani and instrumental ensemble made this avant-garde work popular and well known already during the composer's lifetime. The new edition presented here takes into consideration important, newly discovered sources such as the autograph of the first part.

The title of this clever arrangement reveals the Christmas song it is based on. The melody can be traced back to a French folksong from the 18th century which is now known around the world. In France it is called Les anges dans nos campagnes, in Germany it is most widely known as Engel auf den Feldern singen and in England it was originally called Angels From the Realms of Glory but it often known as Angels We Have Heard on High. Everyone will rejoice upon hearing the ‘Gloria in excelsis Deo’ refrain!Hinter diesem Titel verbirgt sich eine neue Bearbearbeitung des alten französischen Weihnachtsliedes Les anges dans nos campagnes aus dem Frankreich des 18. Jahrhunderts. In Deutschland kennt man es (u. a.) als Engel auf den Feldern singen, in England existiert neben dem oben genannten Titel auch die Version Angels We Have Heard on High. Allen gemeinsam ist der markante Refrain Gloria in excelsis Deo“ der dem Lied seinen besonders erhabenen, festlichen Charakter verleiht.Angel s from the realms of Glory è uno dei più celebri e dei più bei canti natalizi. Questo splendido arrangiamento inizia su un’introduzione festiva che accompagna verso l’esposizione del tema in forma di corale. Segue un intermezzo dalle sonorit ampie e generose, che precede le riprese del corale di apertura dagli accenti gioiosi. Il brano si conclude in modo maestoso per rappresentare l’atmosfera meravigliosa e incantata che caratterizza il Natale.
