Warum gerade ein Orchester-Liederzyklus nach Celan-Gedichten zum Beethoven-Jubilaum 2002? Was verbindet die humanistischen Ideen des genialen Klassikers mit dem gespaltenen Menschenbild eines der bedeutendsten Lyriker des 20. Jahrhunderts? Vielleicht die Gestaltung des Aussergewohnlichen in Wort und Ton? - oder die innere Einsamkeit des grossen Kunstlertums? Der mir zum diesjahrigen Bonner Beethovenfest gegebene Kompositionsauftrag war an kein bestimmtes Thema gebunden. Beim Nachdenken uber einen sinnvollen Beitrag mit Beethoven-Bezug erinnerte ich mich an mein 1967 komponiertes Werk Mit wechselndem Schlussel , Lieder nach Paul Celan fur Bariton und Klavier (aus Celans Gedichtbanden ,,Mohn und ,,Gedachtnis und ,,Von Schwelle zu Schwelle), entstanden wahrend einer sehr progressiven Schaffensperiode, inspiriert von Versen, die Vergangenheit und Gegenwart poetisch verschlusselt miteinander verknupfen. Langer schon plante ich, diesen Zyklus zu orchestrieren - das schien mir jetzt der geeignete Ansatz zur Erfullung meines Auftrags, denn ich wollte zugleich das Werk formal anders gestalten, die sieben einzelnen Gesange unter einem grossen symphonischen Bogen zusammenfassen. So entstand ein ganz neues Opus - eine Art Solo-Kantate fur Singstimme und Orchester - durchaus im Beethovenschen Sinn und Geist, da ich mich wahrend der Ausarbeitung der neuen Fassung von Kompositions- und Instrumentations-Ideen und -Prozessen aus Beethoven-Symphonien anregen liess. So zum Beispiel bei der Durchfuhrung von charakteristischen Motiven und Strukturen: im Prolog und im ersten Lied (Kristall), oder bei der Gestaltung dramatischer Bewegungsablaufe - etwa im vierten Lied (In Gestalt eines Ebers), bei der Darstellung kammermusikalisch-lyrisch er Stimmungen im funften Lied (Nachts) und bei titanischen Klangausbruchen im Schlussgesang (An den langen Tischen der Zeit), schliesslich bei der formalen Gliederung des ganzen Werks in funf symmetrisch angeordnete, grossere Satze. Fazit: ein Beitrag zur Synthese von zeitgenossischer Lyrik und Musik im Geiste Beethovens.

Inch....thi s work is likely to become a standart work very quickly and is to be recommended to all schools where recorder studies are undertaken inch. (Oliver James,Contact Magazine) A novel and comprehensive approach to transferring from the C to F instrument. 430 music examples include folk and national songs (some in two parts), country dance tunes and excerpts from the standard treble repertoire ofBach, Barsanti, Corelli, Handel, Telemann, etc. An outstanding feature of the book has proved to be Brian Bonsor's brilliantly simple but highly effective practice circles and recognition squares designed to give, in only a few minutes, concentrated practice on the more usual leaps to and from each new note and instant recognition of random notes. Quickly emulating the outstanding success of the descant tutors, these books are very popular even with those who normally use tutors other than the Enjoy the Recorder series.

Ariel Lazarus Guitarra Liturgia Two pieces based on music from the Spanish and Portuguese tradition. Contents: Jerusalem de Sefarad - Suite for Guitar Contrapunto Sefardi The composer writes: For many years I wanted to compose a piece for guitar which would inspire interested students to expand their repertoire in the direction of Jewish music. The most natural thing for me was to write a suite based on themes from the synagogue in which I grew up – the Spanish and Portuguese synagogue of Gibraltar. My beloved grandfather served all his life as hazzan (cantor) of this synagogue, and I always felt as a composer and educator that I had a special obligation to continue his tradition and pass it on to a new generation. In this composition, I let the guitar echo the piyyutim (semi-liturgical poems) that were part of my childhood: Adon Olam, Sh'charchoret, Achot K'tana, Yigdal, Borei ad Ana, all of which are sung in the Spanish and Portuguese tradition from Gibraltar to London, and from New York to Jerusalem. I let myself dream the piyyutim, take them apart and reconstruct them as a short suite for guitar, the results of which you are invited to hear here. As a conceptual idea for the suite, I choose to suggest about the cultural continuation between the Diaspora and the land of Israel by way of referencing the well-known melody of Naomi Shemer, which is also popular among the hazzanim.Dr. Ariel Lazarus is a unique voice among Israeli composer-performers today. Brought up in a family with Jewish musical roots both in Gibraltar and Westphalia, he began composing and playing the guitar in his teens, and has been committed to developing his own compositional language ever since, always maintaining an open dialogue with his traditions. Lazarus received his BMus and MMus degrees from Oklahoma City University in classical guitar performance and composition where he studied with American composer Dr. Edward Knight. He earned his PhD from Bar Ilan University, studying composition with Prof. Betty Olivero and Prof. Gideon Lewensohn and conducting research under the supervision of Prof. Edwin Seroussi from the Hebrew University. His symphonic works have been premiered by the Raanana Symphonette Orchestra, and his chamber works have been performed by various ensembles in the United States, Central Europe, Portugal, Gibraltar, Scandinavia and Israel. Lazarus performs regularly as Art Ambassador on behalf of the Israeli Ministry of Diaspora affairs Amiel BaKehila program. His solo album A Hebrew Capriccio was released by the German boutique label SmoothFactor and was awarded critical acclaim, among others, in Haaretz, and Neue Westfalishe. Dr. Lazarus is the musical director and co-founder of the Israeli Ladino Orchestra. His work with the orchestra has been recognized by the official Carta de España. He teaches at the Academic College for Education Givat Washington, and the Rimon School of Music. Lazarus’s work has been awarded by the Israeli Pais Art council and ACUM.
