Century dance suite and well-known to cellists through the Bach Suites.The Badinerie is a musical haiku stunning in its precision and economy of means and like a poem condenses much meaning and expression into few words.Sir Yehudi Menuhin once called the 'Erbarme Dich' solo the most beautiful piece of music ever written for the violin.

It is one of the centre-pieces of the St. Matthew Passion and is sung after Peter has denied Christ betraying him to the authorities and to his Crucifixion.Gavotte and Tambourin. These two Dances reflect the political opposites of the French Revolution - one a popular dance for partying and celebration the other more courtly and considered a favourite of Marie Antoinette.Rondo all'Ongarese and Hungarian Dance.Hungarian Folk music is fiery and impassioned with virtuoso techniques of embellishment and improvisation. Haydn and Brahms incorporated these elements into Classical forms.Like other Romantic and early-Romantic composers (Mendelssohn and Schubert) Brahms was attracted to Scotland as a wild and beautiful country of myth and

Work for Solo Percussion dating from 1983. Ruders writes: The extraordinary title is a typical example of Poul Ruder’s (b. 1949) peculiar and bizarre sense of humour - Ruders together with Hans Abrahamsen and Bo Holten being one of the most important names within new Danish music after the Nørgård-Holmgreen-Nørholm generation. Although Ruders is influenced by Holmgreen’s absurd simplicity he takes up an original place in new Danish music to which he has conveyed humour and liveliness as well as theatre and virtuosity. Quotations ‘found objects’ play an important part in Ruders’ music for instance in his chamber work MEDIEVAL VARIATIONS (1974) but the old material isbeing varied with adequate audacity and liveliness so as to yield new qualities not unlike Peter Maxwell Davies’ ’music on music’. ALARM is ‘a short shocker a kind of film soundtrack without the pictures’ based on the horror in victor Hugo’s THE BELL RINGER OF NOTRE DAME. To produce the right atmosphere of uneasiness and nervousness Ruders uses among other things the Balinese cymbal-machine ‘ching-ching’ and the snore of the ‘didjeridoo’ from Australia.

Par DE HAAN JACOB. This musical fantasy depicts the history of the Dutch fortified town of Elburg. The work begins with an atmospheric medieval picture of the Convent of St Agnes, the nunnery that was built in the first half of the 15th century. We hear the sound of the convent bells together with an upward motif, which will reappear later in the work. Next, the rest of Elburg is featured, including the fortress - from which the bells of the Sint-Nicolaaskerk (Saint Nicholas Church) are ringing. Then, cheerful sounds can be heard at the Vischpoort (Fish Gate), where a dancing group is performing a 16th century French folk dance (a branle des chevaux). We also hear old wagons rumbling over the town’scobble stones. Trade made this Hanseatic town a lively place. The repetitive upward motif first heard in the introduction now develops into a more distinct feature, reflecting the mercantile spirit of the town residents. Then follows the slow middle movement, in which the clock has been turned back to the time when Elburg was still lying on the Zuiderzee (which was a bay of the North Sea), and was struggling with floods. After the second St. Marcellus Flood (1362) and the water flood of 1367 it was decided that the town would be relocated. We now hear the theme of branle des chevaux in a minor key, followed by a death bell sounding in remembrance of the drowned citizens of the former town. Back in our own time, a slow, expressive theme in Baroque style mirrors Elburg’s tranquil places, such as the Feithenhof (Feithen Court) and the Weduwenhofje (Widow Court). Then the bustle returns with motifs from the introduction, followed by an attractive theme in which present-day Elburg is portrayed with its many tourists. Now, suddenly, there is an echo from the past, depicting the dramatic floods and wars that once plagued the town. This leads to the grand closing theme: branle des chevaux is heard for a final time from the perspective of the historic town centre. / Niveau : 4 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Fanfare
