Wald for Ensemble was composed by Hans Abrahamsen in 2008-09. Co-commission by the Schönberg Ensemble and BBC for Birmingham Contemporary Music Group.Programme NoteWald is in a way a series of variations from the beginning of my woodwind quintet Walden (1978). This thematical idea is very simple - a rising call of a fourth and the response in other voices. This idea is repeated several times but because the call has a slower pulse than the responses the process leads to them changing order.In Walden I borrowed the title from the Americanphilosopher Henry David Thoreau who in the middle of the eighteenth century in a little wooden hermit house at the bank of the lake Walden pond wrote the book Walden of his life and time in the forests. Here he experimented living for two years in order to come closer to nature and to see if it was possible to live simply without all the unnecessary needs created by society. The book is filled with poetry but is also cutting and critical of society. In my piece Walden I tried to search for the same simplicity handling the most simple material but at the same time trying not to lose the poetry.Wald is a twin piece to Walden but also to my former piece Schnee.Robert Schumann wrote in 1848-49 a wonderful piano piece Waldszenen. He wrote this collection of short pieces with beautiful titles like Einsame Blumen Vogel als Prophet and also Jäger auf der Lauer just a few years before Thoreau wrote his book Walden. For them the forest is the magical romantic place that gives a spiritual insight to man but also from where we get our food through hunting. For me the forest still has this magical quality and Wald has scenes with a hunting horn that calls (I many years ago played the magical 'Waldhorn' and remember playing in the forest near my home) flocks of birds that when agitated take

W.C. Handy's immortal classic is reborn in this solid arrangement. It includes a piano and bass part completely written out for the young or developing player. Solos are also provided with optional changes above the written part. As usual Larry has provided helpful rehearsal suggestions for the director as well.

Featuring a Basie-style piano part that's written out on the opening chorus this blues settles into a very nice groove with the saxes featured much of the time. None of the parts are overly demanding and the ranges are very comfortable. An excellent blues recipe!

Johanna Senfter a étudié la musique au Conservatoire de Francfort, puis en 1908/9 avec Max Reger au Conservatoire de Leipzig. Sa musique romantique fin tire son inspiration de la structure polyphonique de Reger et Bach, ainsi que de l'utilisation complexe des sons et des motifs dans la musique de j. Brahms, qui n'a pas quitté son dans une position facile dans le contexte du modernisme du XXe siècle. Intérêt croissant pour le travail des compositeurs femelles a également conduit à une redécouverte de j. Senfter ces dernières années. Son vaste travail comprend la musique pour piano, de oeuvres orchestrales et de musique de chambre, y compris la pièce pour flute, clarinette (en la), deux bassons et quatre cornes, la première fois à Karlsruhe en 1934. / 8 Instruments A Vent (Flûte Traversière, Clarinette En A, 4 Cors Et 2 Bassons)
