The Minstrels was commissioned and performed by the BBC Singers in their Winter Solstice concert at St Paul's Church, Knightsbridge, London on 21 December 2016, which was broadcast live on BBC Radio 3. This lively non-religious carol, a setting of the opening verses of the William Wordsworth poem of the same name, paints vivid images of jocular minstrels and their followers, completed with cittern effects in the bass part. The clever interplay between the vocal parts and opportunities for fun wordplay make this an exciting and rewarding sing, and a very engaging piece for an audience.

Welcher has created a wholly-Celtic masterpiece in Minstrels of the Kells. Citing a good number of Irish classics, he covers the duality of the music - the soul-searing angst and mournfulness, and the toe-tapping reels and jigs that we know and love. This is a marvelous concert piece that was commissioned by the Big Twelve Band Directors Association. (An interesting option- Welcher provides a spot in the second movement for the addition of a pub band (Irish folk band) and a three-minute vamp).

This lighthearted, carefree work is easy to remember upon hearing. It has a snappy rhythm that makes you want to dance to its lively tune. Minstrels were musicians who traveled throughout the countryside providing entertainment to any and all. Their repertoire included songs, dances, jokes, and storytelling. One could find them all over Europe and America from the Middle Ages up until the 20th century. As traveling musicians, they relied on catch tunes that could easily be learned and communicated to their audiences. They were in the business of uplifting people's spirits through fun and laughter.

Was ist Jazz? Wo ist er entstanden, wie lasst er sich definieren? In zwei grossen Abschnitten geht Arrigo Polillo diesen Fragen nach und setzt sich mit dem Phanomen Jazz auseinander. Der erste Teil untersucht die geschichtliche Entwicklung des Jazz und gibt eine genaue Darstellung der afroamerikanischen Musik im sozialen und kulturhistorischen Kontext. Parallel dazu wird die Geschichte der afroamerikanischen Bevolkerung erzahlt, von der Zeit der Sklaverei bis zu den Aufstanden in den 60er Jahren. Somit entsteht ein Zusammenhang zwischen der eigentlichen Geschichte des Volkes und der Musikgeschichte, zwischen den sozialen Problemen der Afroamerikaner und der Entwicklung musikalischer Ausdrucksformen wie Ragtime, Rhythm and Blues, Gospel Music, Free Jazz usw. Der zweite Teil stellt die grossen Personlichkeiten des Jazz vor: Sidney Bechet, Fletcher Henderson, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Dizzy Gillespie ...
