An Old Song is an atmospheric piece based on a lowland Scottish folk song. Composed in 1917 it is one of the earliest works of the English composer Peter Warlock (1894-1930) who also achieved fame forhis scandalous lifestyle. Scored for a Small Orchestra it is rarely performed nowadays. Warlock was an ardent admirer of Delius throughout his career and his influences are plain to see here some wit was known to callit ?On Hearing the Second Cuckoo in Spring?. Nonetheless this work is often seen to mark the?start of the composer's?independent creative process and as such requires great musical sensitivity when performed.

Procession II for small Orchestra was composed by Anders Brødsgaard in 1986. Programme note: The title Procession refers to the process going on throughout the piece where a two-part 'formula' (played by two groups of instruments) gradually 'turn inside out' as the short ornamental grace notes becomes long and vice versa. The title also suggests the ritual in the experience of the imperceptible changes in the 25 transformations the possibility of ignoring the 13 'events' that regularly interrupt the progressive procession. The piece is a rewriting of Procession for Two Clarinets and Vibraphone from1979. Instr.:1.1.2.sx.0/1.1.1.0/3perc/pf/str(1.1.3.2.1)

For Bb Soprano (or Bb Tenor) Saxophone and Small Orchestra-This dance-driven saxophone concerto in miniature demonstrates how Villa-Lobos could integrate nearly any instrument into a Brazilian sound world while still composing a fully 'classical' piece. Of the three short movements the first 'Animé ' is the longest clocking in at about four minutes. An agitated downward cascade for the strings ushers in the soloist playing an angular strongly rhythmic theme relying on quickly repeated notes. A second melody is much broader and more luxurious and spreads across half the movement before the opening rat-a-tat theme begins to insinuate itself very subtly into the proceedings again. Even then the more lyrical melody remains in control to the movement's end. The second movement 'Lent ' relies on a sexy chromatic melody that lingers in the soprano saxophone's high register. After only the briefest pause the finale 'Très animé ' arrives with an impulsive sometimes jittery theme over a firm beat. The solo part wanders off into trills while the small orchestra stretches out in long voluptuous chords. But soon the dance rhythm returns stronger than ever bouncing toward a conclusion in which the saxophone departs with an upward flourish seeming to vanish from the movement without providing a harmonic resolution.

Full Score-The Persian traditional music (called the Dastgah Segah) is based on intervals made of three quarter-tones and natural whole-tones. Segah has no interval in common with the European/ Western equal-temperament tuning. This lack of common intervalsbetween the Segah mode and the equal-temperament tuning will lead to a cognitive dissonance if this mode is set against the equal-temperament system. My goal has been to elaborate on the innate tensions that exists between the two interval systemsand use it as a symbol for the existing political and cultural tensions between the Persian and the Western cultures. The piece consists of two Persian traditional instruments the Ney (Persian vertical bamboo flute) and the Kamanche (Persian spikefiddle) as the musical representatives of the Persian culture set against the Western orchestra as the musical representative of the Western culture. A small ensemble of Western instruments consisting of a harp and string quintet accompanies thePersian instruments. The harp is tuned to the Segah intervals and the string quintet plays in the Segah mode. The orchestra is performing inthe Western equal- temperament tuning. From the very first bars of the main section of the piece confusionsand misunderstandings arise. The orchestra being unable to play in Segah or understand the mode becomes more and more agitated. Musical tensions between the soloists and the orchestra lead to musical confrontations and finally to musicalviolence. The orchestra becomes extremely violent and militaristic and tries to suppress the soloists efforts to express their musical thoughts. In the midst of all these confusions and cultural misunderstandings musical connections and attractionsstart to take place. The orchestra and the soloists find themselves musically attracted to each other and start imitating each others musical phrases. Cognitive dissonances start to be gradually transformed to musical dialogues symbolizing thegradual replacement of the clash of civilizations with the dialogue of civilizations. Segah was written for Khosrow and Kian Soltani and premiered at the Segah Festival on January 15 2016.
