9790220221552. Scen
es from Welsh life and
landscape are a frequent
source of inspiration for
the music of Rhian
Samuel, and, in Dovey
Junction, the joyful
atmosphere of families en
route to the Welsh
seaside via the little
west-coast railway line
is the cue for a
crackling scherzo for
brass quintet. A
snappy rondo theme
insists on dressing up in
a different texture each
time it returns. In
between, pithy staccato
phrases for trumpets are
the setting for more
cantabile figures from
horn and trombone, and a
brief and bluesy episode
for muted solo trumpet
suggests lazy days on the
beach, or grown-up
nostalgia for holidays
long past. But the energy
and sense of expectation
remain unstoppable from
the first bar to the
last, and all five
instruments sweep the
music into a furious coda
that ends the work in
riotous high spirits.
Dovey
Junction was written
for performance by
Borealis Brass (Alaska)

ANG FANTASIA is a
fascinating 12-minute
drama inspired by art
from grottoes in the
ancient town of Dunhuang
in western China. These
frescoes preserve images
of music and dance
scenes, including the
postures and attitudes of
performers, and of the
musical instruments used.
Zhou Long’s music
begins with a mysterious
introduction driven by
drum-like textures,
followed by a series of
episodes, enhanced by
captions of the artwork
inspiring each section
and evocations of the
ancient musical
instruments. Commissio
ned and with fingering by
Zou Xiang, Dunhuang
Fantasia was composed in
the fall of 2017. The
music was inspired by the
art of the Mogaoku
grottoes in the ancient
town of Dunhuang in
western China. The
frescoes of the Dunhuang
grottos preserve a number
of music and dance
performance scenes,
including images of the
postures and attitudes of
performers, and of a
number of musical
instrument types are
used.The most popular
form of music indigenous
to this region is the
huar, a folk-song type
current among a number of
nationalities. The huar
is actually a kind of
mountain song. Along with
huar, Dunhuang pipa qupu
(Dunhuang pipa notation)
is also an inspiration
for elements in this
music.The music begins in
adagio as a mysterious
introduction. The
drum-like rhythm patterns
beating in the lowest
region of the piano, with
a muted-string sonority,
creates an expanded space
to enhance the echoes
from the grottos. This is
soon followed by the
first main section, Cup
of Happiness, featuring
the huar and Dunhuang
pipa melodies along with
the dance rhythm. In the
next section, Water Drum,
the music becomes medium
tempo. In the section
Dialogue in Presto, the
music becomes more active
and contrapuntal. The
section Tune: Changsha
Girl is in a faster tempo
as a dance scene. The
Coda starts with dense
rhythms, and tension is
gradually intensified to
reach a climax,
culminating in a return
of the opening
section. $24.99 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 1 to 2 weeks | | |

680160684472. The
violin concerto is
commissioned by Friends
of Dresden Music
Foundation for American
soloist Mira Wang and the
New York Philharmonic and
Staatskapelle Dresden as
an American commemoration
of the reconstruction of
the Dresden Frauenkirche,
60 years after its
destruction in World War
II by American and
British Forces. The world
premiere is given at the
Semperoper in Dresden,
Germany, on October 9, 10
& 11, 2005, conducted
by Ivan Fischer. Full of
excitement and inner
power, the musical image
is vivid, energetic,
sometimes lyrical and
sometimes dramatic. The
major angular thematic
material (a three note
motive) consists of big
leaps in interval (a
perfect fourth downward
and then a minor seventh
upward, first introduced
by the violin solo in
measures 27-29). Except
for the cadenzas which
stand at the middle
(Rehearsal E, measure
127) and the two ends of
the piece as a frame, the
virtuosic violin solo
line is always
accompanied by the ever
moving and growing
textures in the
background. The rests
between long and short
phrases symbolize the
space in Chinese
paintings. The Beijing
Opera reciting tune, and
the fingerings to produce
sliding tones in the
performance of the
Chinese fiddle erhu are
also borrowed in the
writing and the
performing of the western
instruments. The musical
imagination of the violin
concerto came from an
ancient Chinese poem with
the same title, written
by Du Fu (712-770) in
Tang Dynasty. Happy Rain
on a Spring Night by Du
Fu (712-770 in Tang
Dynasty) Happy rain comes
in time, When spring is
in its prime. With night
breeze it will fall, And
quietly moisten all.
Clouds darken wild roads,
Light brightens a little
boat. Saturated at dawn,
With flowers blooming the
town. (English
translation by Chen Yi
from the original poem in
Chinese) The following is
the poem in its original
Chinese form, and the
detailed introduction on
the structural plan of
the violin concerto
Spring in Dresden. It's
like the welcome rain on
a quiet spring night that
nurtures the budding
seeds, our new society is
pushing us forward to the
new future. The music
reflects the scenes and
the expression according
to the meaning of the
poem when it's being
unfolded line by line.
Although the tempo is set
63 quarter notes per
minute throughout (played
vividly, never slow
down), the tension is
being built up from the
quiet background in the
beginning, to the
sustained climax towards
the end. The musical
image in Rehearsal A and
B (measures 39-80)
represents the first four
lines of the poem. The
wind instruments response
to the rustling of fast
moving notes on muted
string triplets,
decorated by occasional
strokes produced by
metallic string sound and
high woodwind gestures.
The music in Rehearsal C
and D (measures 81-126)
represents the next two
lines of the poem. It's
so dark, a little light
in the boat is shimmering
on the lake... The
breathy sound and key
slaps on the flutes
create a mysterious
atmosphere, in a dialogue
with other instruments.
The cello glissandi
recite the poem in the
tone of Mandarin, echoed
by the string harmonics.
The music in Rehearsal F,
G and H (m 129-202) is a
toccata, starting in the
orchestra (led by the
marimba), which builds up
a big shape, to reach the
climax in m. 157
(Rehearsal G, the
location of the Golden
Section, according to the
length of the music
without cadenzas), and
keeps the vivid scene
towards the coda (from
Rehearsal I, m. 203),
which stands on the
energetic peak until the
clear cutoff on measure
239, followed by the
short, yet powerful solo
conclusion with the
lingering echo produced
by the high string
harmonics. On the top,
there is a recall of the
three note motive in the
sound of wonderland,
touched by the motor-on
vibraphone meaningfully.
The music is written for
2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2
clarinets (in Bb), 2
bassoons, 4 French horns
(in F), 2 trumpets (in
Bb), 3 trombones, tuba,
harp, 3 percussion

reflects the scenes and

is set 63 quarter notes
per minute throughout
(played vividly,
neverslow down), the
tension is being built up
from the quiet background
in the beginning, tothe
sustained climax towards

image in Rehearsal A and
B (measures39-80)
represents the first four
lines of the poem. The
wind instruments response
to therustling of fast
moving notes on muted
string triplets,
decorated by occasional
strokesproduced by
metallic string sound and
high woodwind gestures.
The music in RehearsalC
and D (measures 81-126)
represents the next two
lines of the poem. It's
so dark, a littlelight in
the boat is shimmering on
the lake... The breathy
sound and key slaps on
theflutes create a
mysterious atmosphere, in
a dialogue with other
instruments. The
celloglissandi recite the
poem in the tone of
Mandarin, echoed by the
string harmonics.
Themusic in Rehearsal F,
G and H (m 129-202) is a
toccata, starting in the
orchestra (led bythe
marimba), which builds up
a big shape, to reach the
climax in m. 157

excitement and inner
power, the musical image
is vivid, energetic,
sometimes lyrical and
sometimes dramatic. The
major angular thematic
material (a three note
motive) consists of big
leaps in interval (a
perfect fourth downward
and then a minor seventh
upward, first introduced
by the violin solo in
measures 27-29). Except
for the cadenzas which
stand at the middle
(Rehearsal E, measure
127) and the two ends of
the piece as a frame, the
virtuosic violin solo
line is always
accompanied by the ever
moving and growing
textures in the
background. The rests
between long and short
phrases symbolize the
space in Chinese
paintings. The Beijing
Opera reciting tune, and
the fingerings to produce
sliding tones in the
performance of the
Chinese fiddle erhu are
also borrowed in the
writing and the
performing of the western
instruments. The musical

Pueblo
for solo Double
Bass. Duration: approx. 7
minutes.
Pueblo
is an off-shoot of a
series of compositions
inspired by desert
country, and it was
commissioned by Leon
Bosch with the aid of
funds provided by North
West Arts. The piece is
continous, falling into
several sections, and is
largeley based on the
high circling motif heard
at the start and referred
to again in the harmonics
at the close.
It is
prefaced by the following
quotation from Scenes in
American Deserta by
Reyner Banham, published
by Thames and
Hudson:
'Clouds, high and
flat, were now building
up in thesky, the wind
was settling to silent
calm, the weather was
very cold, and the stream
through the center of the
pueblo was almost frozen
across, the Indians
chipping out ice to melt
down for water.'
The aim in writing
the piece was to express
in musical terms a
response to the vivid
picture of a scene
relating to life in the
American desert conveyed
by Reyner Banham's text.
Although not numbered
among other Desert works,
this belongs to this
family of compositions,
along with another Banham
setting, written for the
King's Singers, Scenes In
America Deserta. -
