Commissione d by Caramoor Music Festival in New York and premiered July 14, 2017 by the Argus Quartet, this work is in no small part a response to this quartet's sense of adventure and expressive emotional range. Inspired by two end-of-civilization novels the composer was reading prior to composing the work, the quartet unfolds in a single movement, loosely based on plot lines in both novels. One of the novels includes a Traveling Symphony, an assortment of musicians and actors who travel the countryside for decades playing symphonies, jazz and orchestral arrangements of popular music alongside performances of Shakespeare plays, reminiscent of medieval troupes traveling the countryside in plague-ridden times. The work is written so that the quartet embodies the Traveling Symphony, not only playing music but also singing and 'stage whispering' fragments of King Lear and other text across the collection of nine scenes.

UPC: 038081563077. English. Words by William Butler Yeats.

Lilting music resembles a folk song from the British Isles in this happy setting of Yeats' text, inspired by memories of childhood summers spent in the Irish countryside. The 12-line poem expresses a city-dweller's longing for the simple, tranquil life of Innisfree. Includes proven part-singing strategies---the tune first appears in unison, then becomes a canon; a peaceful bridge passes the melody through lower voice parts, while others sing sweet counterlines; and a modulation leads to full triadic harmony.

< i>The Fields (“Les champs”) est une ode la beauté unique des paysages de la région de Westerwolde, une région située au nord-est des Pays-Bas, lieu de résidence du compositeur. Les champs, filmés au fil des saisons, s’imposent comme l’élément central du développement.Le premier mouvement présente des vues sur des vastes étendues et des images de fermes. La musique se fait rêveuse. Installée dans un tempo lent puis évoluant sous la forme de phrases courtes, une mélodie « wagnérienne » monte de l’orchestre. chaque phrase correspond une autre perspective. La structure chemine vers une conclusion plus ample, plus généreuse, qui reprend le thème initial. Le secondmouvement nous livre des impressions musicales du sol noir, typique de la région. On voit des tracteurs labourer la terre, on entend les grains de céréales germer. La musique engendre un climat mystérieux et plein de suspense. Lentement, mais avec fluidité, nous assistons la floraison des céréales.Le troisième et dernier mouvement dessine la période des moissons et des récoltes : le chargement et le déchargement de l’orge, du ma s, des pommes de terre et des betteraves. La musique bat au rythme d’un mouvement mécanique qui illustre le mouvement de l’arracheuse-charg euse de pommes de terre. Quelques passages plus romantiques viennent agrémenter le développement. Le thème final est magistral. L’œuvre se clôt sur des images musicales de l’hiver. La terre se repose.

ISBN 9790006497126. 33 x 26 cm inches. Text: Franz von Schober.

In late September or early October 1821 Schubert and his close friend, Franz von Schober, vacationed in the countryside of Lower Austria. Their first stopover was at Ochsenburg Castle, which belonged to the Bishop of St. Pölten (a close relative of Schober’s), after which they moved on to St. Pölten itself. Roughly a year earlier, two stage works by Schubert had been performed in Vienna: the one-act singspiel Die Zwillingsbrüder and the melodrama Die Zauberharfe. The librettos were both written by the seasoned Viennese playwright Georg von Hofmann, who blamed the press for the indifferent reception the two works were given by the audience. Schubert and Schober now decided, it would seem, to write a grand romantic opera uninfluenced by the workaday world of the theatre and beholden solely to their own ideas of what an opera should be.

Not until 24 June 1854 was the opera finally performed in Weimar, under the baton of Franz Liszt. It only achieved success, however, in an arrangement by Johann Nepomuk Fuchs that was staged on many German and Austrian stages in 1881–2, allegedly with brilliant acclaim.
