The operas of Marius Felix Lange, especially “Snow White,†“The Canterville Ghost,†“Die Schneekönigin,†“Das Opernschiff oder Am Südpol, denkt man, ist es heisse†have been incredibly successful. Many of his operas have also been performed on foreign stages, including those in Switzerland and France. Other points of emphasis in Lange's work include orchestral compositions and Lieder. The American violinist Hilary Hahn had an unusual yet very clever idea in 2012 when she requested encore pieces from present-day composers. The cycle “In 27 Pieces: The Hilary Hahn Encores†were consecutively premiered by the violinist until the end of the 2012/13 season and recorded on CD. Amongst the submissions selected by Hilary Hahn during the course of an online contest, Marius Felix Lange's violin piece “Nutcracker's Nightmare†immediately ended up amongst the ten best-placed works. The title “Nutcracker's Nightmare†recalls E.T.A. Hoffmann's famous fairytale “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King,†the gloomily imaginative story in which a wooden toy is awakened to life and has to fight against the powers of darkness.

Composer Deborah Baker Monday provides us with an exciting new composition that contains all of the grandeur of the American West. With wide open spaces, reminiscent of pieces from the Americana composers of the last century, this will be a perfect choice to highlight your group at contest and festival performances.Canyonla nd Skies is a programmatic work which was composed for the 2013 Utah/American String Teachers Association (ASTA) composition competition. The required element for the contest was that the entry should have a theme based on something native to the state of Utah.This original work attempts to represent the brilliance of the Utah sky; the clearest blue by day, with its blinding bright sun and the deepest dark blue of night, with a palette of stars which are breathtaking. The sunrise and sunset scenarios are uniquely remarkable from wherever one may be observing. At any one moment or another, these magnificent visions of color are always fresh and different.Canyonland Skies uses the bright key of D major to maximize the sonority of the string instruments. Excellent opportunities for drone-like intonation practices abound. Scalewise passages build and build for the strong harmonic changes which drive the piece to a contrasting section.G major dominates the jaunty middle section, which suggests a smooth ride on an open road. Melodic opportunities abound while the piece soars to a satisfying reflection of the opening material.Canyonland Skies is the winning Composition of the 2013 Composition Contest sponsored by the Utah Chapter of the American String Teachers Association.Sit back and begin a road trip with your students. With your navigation they will create a soundtrack for this beautiful journey.

Composed by Paul Raphael, Explorers on the Moon, the sequel to his 2017 work Destination Moon, was composed in 2019 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1969 Moon Landings. It is inspired by the Belgian author Hergé and his most famous creation, Tintin. The music uses Hergé’s story from 1950 almost twenty years prior to the first ever moon landing - following Tintin and his fellow adventurers as they become the first humans on the Moon. This fantastic piece is split into three parts, titled ‘Space’, ‘Nightmare Land’ and ‘The Journey Home’ and is one of the most spectacular contest pieces in recent years.Explorer s on the Moon is een vervolg op Paul Raphaels eerdere werk Destination Moon uit 2017. Het werd in 2019 gecomponeerd ter gelegenheid van de vijftigste gedenkdag van de maanlanding in 1969. De inspiratiebron was Kuifje de beroemdste creatie van de Belgische auteur en striptekenaar Georges Remi, die bekender is onder zijn pseudoniem Hergé. Het uitgangspunt voor de muziek is diens verhaal uit 1950 waarin Kuifje en zijn medeavonturiers de maan bezoeken, bijna twintig jaar voor de eerste échte maanlanding. Dit fantastische werk, dat uit drie delen ‘Space’, ‘Nightmare Land’ en ‘The Journey Home’ bestaat, is een van de meest spectaculaire wedstrijdwerken uitrecente jaren. Explorers on the Moon, komponiert von Paul Raphael, entstand 2019 anlässlich des 50. Jahrestages der Mondlandung (1969) und ist die Fortsetzung seines 2017 erschienenen Werkes Destination Moon. Das Stück wurde von dem belgischen Autor Hergé und seiner berühmtesten Erfindung, Tim und Struppi, inspiriert. Die Musik orientiert sich an Hergés Geschichte aus dem Jahr 1950, in der Tim und seine Begleiter als erste Menschen den Mond betreten fast zwanzig Jahre vor der ersten Mondlandung. Dieses fantastische Stück besteht aus drei Sätzen: Space“, Nightmare Land“ und The Journey Home“. Es zählt zu den spektakulärsten Wettbewerbsstücken der letzten Jahre.Écrite par Paul Raphael en 2019 pour marquer le 50e anniversaire des premiers hommes sur la lune, en 1969, Explorers on the Moon fait suite Destination Moon, du même compositeur. Cette nouvelle œuvre s’inspire de l’auteur belge Hergé et de sa création la plus célèbre, Tintin. La musique est fondée sur l’histoire de On a marché sur la Lune, qui fait suite Objectif Lune, histoire écrite en 1950 anticipant la réalité de près de vingt ans , qui raconte l’aventure de Tintin et de ses compagnons sur notre satellite. Cette œuvre remarquable en trois mouvements (« Space », « Nightmare Land » et « The Journey Home ») est une des pièces de concours les plusspectaculaires de ces dernières années.

Composed by Claude Barthelemy, Okawati's is the first piece from the series Irrawady (also named Asia is running through my ears) for Alto or Soprano Saxophone and electro-acoustic system. Commissioned by a Cultural Centre, this series is made of four parts and two interludes (without Saxophone) and was used as a piece of contest. This particular piece, Okawati's is representing a hotel located in between rice fields in Bali. At night, there is no silence but the noise of frogs and birds flying around. The player is supposed to impersonate one of the birds. Lasting 5'34 minutes, the score of this piece is written in modern writing and requires some good knowledge of modern and contemporary pieces and some very good technical knowledge. Quite unusual and fun to play, it also includes a CD which features the part of the electro-acoustic system. It is followed by: - Interlude I - Ubud - Le dos des caimans - Interlude II - Gazebo.
