This moving symphonic poem is about the French region of Lorraine. Since the time of the Roman Empire, Lorraine has been ruled by either Germany or France with wars redrawing national boundaries many times over the years. While its history has been bloody, folk music from the region breaks up the tension in the piece and offers many uplifting moments. An optimistic conclusion features a mixture of music from the three countries Lorraine sits between: Luxembourg, Germany and France.Dit ontroerende symfonische gedicht gaat over Lotharingen, een gebied aan de oostkant van Frankrijk. De muzikale verklanking begint in de tijd van het Heilige Roomse Rijk. Een tijd waarin het land wordt geteisterd door vele oorlogen.Een tijd ook waarin het land nu eens bij Duitsland, dan weer bij Frankrijk hoort. Vrolijke elementen zijn er echter ook: volksmuziek uit Lotharingen en ook een verzoenend slot dat met toespelingen op het volkslied het drielandenpuntvan Frankrijk, Duitsland en Luxemburg belicht.Dieses bewegende symphonische Gedicht handelt von der Region Lothringen in Frankreich. Beginnend mit der Zeit des heiligen Römischen Reiches, über diverse Kriege, die im Land wüteten und Wechsel zwischen deutscher und französischer Staatszugehörigkeit wird die Geschichte musikalisch nacherzählt. Für fröhliche Elemente sorgen Anklänge der lothringischen Volksmusik und der versöhnliche Schluss, der mittels Anspielungen auf die Nationalhymne auf das Dreiländereck“ Frankreich, Deutschland und Luxemburg anspielt.Ce fascinant poème symphonique retrace l’histoire de la Lorraine telle qu’elle a été perçue par les habitants de Yutz (France). L’introduction illustre la période où la Lorraine faisait partie du Saint-Empire romain germanique. Puis se profile un rythme de marche faisant référence aux nombreuses guerres qui frappèrent la région. Une atmosphère plus chaleureuse se dessine, symbolisant l’unité des Lorrains, chamarrée des joyeuses esquisses de musiques traditionnelles qui parcourent les rues de Yutz. La création mondiale de l’oeuvre fut donnée en juin 2010, Yutz, sous la direction du compositeur Jacob de Haan.La Lorena è l’unica regione francese che condivide i confini con altre tre nazioni: Belgio, Lussemburgo e Germania. Questo brano sottolinea il carattere cosmopolita della regione che nel corso della guerra franco-prussiana costrinse i francesi a cederla al neo-nato impero tedesco, ma che fu restituita alla Francia dopo la prima guerra mondiale a seguito del trattato di Versailles. Il brano propone un tema basato sulla melodia dell’inno nazionale tedesco come anche, con un ritmo rapido, sule note della Marsigliese. Segue un motivo fondato sulle prime note dell’inno nazionale lussemburghese.

Festival March is presented in a new edition arranged by Richard Summers. It is a tour de force composition for advanced bands and hearkens back to a bygone era during the golden age of the band movement. Directors and students will hear operatic music from composer Victor Herbert who is best known for his Christmas classic, Toyland. This is a richly scored masterpiece that deserves to return to standard status in concert band repertoire. We are proud to bring you this new setting of this cherished classic.Festival March by Victor Herbert was written for the Pittsburgh Symphony and first performed under Herbert’s direction in Chicago on Dec. 9, 1901 celebrating the 12th anniversary of Chicago’s Auditorium Theatre. Also known as the Auditorium Festival March, he included it many times for programs of a festival nature. The main theme Auld Lang Syne, a famous Scottish folk song, is incorporated many times along with brass fanfares, interludes and march melodies. This band arrangement is very similar to the original orchestral composition. The missing string parts, the addition of the saxophone section and other band instruments, editing of the superimposed triplets against sixteenth notes, to one or the other, and articulations suitable for the band, were major challenges. The style of early twentieth-century American music is captured here. This arrangement will give band musicians access to a fine piece of music that could only be appreciated by orchestra musicians up to now. Although suitable for many occasions, this piece is a great way to begin or end a December holiday concert.  Notes to the ConductorVictor Herbert’s music can be interpreted in a romantic style, which is the conductor’s responsibility to read in nuance and musicality. The beginning and other triple-tonguing sections of this piece have a March of the Toys quality to it.  The interludes and Auld Lang Syne sections are legato and musical. The March sections can also be shaped musically.About the ComposerVictor Herbert was born in Ireland in 1861 and raised in Germany. When he moved to America in 1886, he joined the Metropolitan Opera as principal cellist and eventually composed many works including forty-three operettas on Broadway from the 1890s to World War I, including Naughty Marietta and Babes in Toyland. Victor Herbert conducted the Pittsburgh Symphony from 1898 to 1904 and then was the conductor of his own Victor Herbert Orchestra. He formed ASCAP with a group of composers in 1914 and was the director until his death in 1924. Among his thirty-one compositions for orchestra, Festival March was a favorite of his and was eventually published by Carl Fischer Music.  .

Prof. Andreas Gopfert took on the big challenge of making a selection from 500 years of musical and cultural history of choral singing in the area of Middle Germany. The 112 pieces for mixed choir a cappella are all by composers and arrangers which come from Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia or which have been active there: Starting from Luther, Schutz, Telemann, Handel and Bach via von Weber, Mendelssohn, Schumann and Reger to contemporaries like Gregor Meyer, Ludwig Bohme and Georg Christoph Biller. The volume is divided in three parts of which the first contains composed choral music from the Renaissance to the Modern Age, the second includes sacred and secular pleas for peace and the third collects classical and modern folk song arrangements. Thereby, the difficulty level is such that both amateur choirs and professional ensembles will find sufficient repertoire.The Mitteldeutsches Chorbuch, the official choirbook of the Deutsches Chorfest [German Choral Festival] 2020 in Leipzig, was compiled by Prof. Andreas Gopfert on commission of the Deutscher Chorverband [German Choral Society].

Simon Laks (1901-1983), who moved from Warsaw to Paris in 1926 at the age of 25, belonged to the large group of composers from Central and Eastern European countries who went down in 20th-century music history as the “École de Parisâ€. Slavic temperament amalgamated in their music with French esprit, the folklore of their native countries combined with the stylistic elements of neoclassicism and jazz typical of the time. As a member of the “Association of Young Polish Musiciansâ€, Laks quickly made his way into French musical life. However, his career was ended with the beginning of World War 2 due to the collaboration of the Vichy government with Nazi Germany. Internment in 1941 was followed by deportation to Auschwitz in 1942. Laks survived the Shoah as a member and later leader of a camp band in Birkenau, which he testified to in his moving book Music in Auschwitz. After the traumatic experiences, Laks did not return to regular compositional activity until the 1960s, producing an opera, songs, and chamber music works, some of which were awarded important composition prizes. At the peak of this optimistic creative phase, he composed incidental music for Peretz Hirschbein's famous Yiddish comedy Dem Schmids Techter (The Blacksmith's Daughters), which premiered in New York in 1918, for a new production of the play at the Théâtre de'lÂ’Entrepôt in Paris. Along with Prokofiev's Overture on Hebrew Themes and Shostakovich's cycle From Yiddish (Jewish) Folk Poetry, it is one of the most significant 20th-century explorations of art music with Jewish folklore – homage to a culture irreparably destroyed. From the original score, Holger Groschopp compiled two suites, for violoncello and piano and piano solo, that capture the essence of Lak's enchanting drama music. The premiere recording of the suites with Holger Groschopp and Adele Bitter was awarded the Opus Klassik 2023 in the category Editorial Achievement of the Year.
