Jacob vs. Angel

SKU: SU.27020085

Jacob vs. Angel is a piece about crisis of conscience, ambiguity, and misinterpretation expressed through the depiction of a major battle, the goal of which is never made entirely clear. Based on the biblical story, the work is highly programmatic, with each of the six movements reflecting a corresponding stanza from the titular poem by Alice Weaver Flaherty. The piece was originally composed as a vehicle for virtuoso organist Heinrich Christensen, and later orchestrated. The first movement introduces the main musical material--a five note motive, the intervals of which are reorganized to create melodic and harmonic development throughout the piece. The second, third, and fourth movements depict the brutal fight between Jacob and the angel, and lead one to the next without pause. The fifth movement is about the post-battle scene, and the final movement is an epilogue, reframing the ideas from the previous movements. The music elucidates various actions from the Flaherty poem—sand skittering across the desert, aggressive acts of violence and sensuality between the protagonists, the beating of wings, feathers blowing in the wind, etc. But beyond the music's more literal elements, the work is designed to express an abstract state of mind, a sense of unease, and anticipation of what is yet to come. —Graham Gordon Ramsay2(2) 1,1 2 2; 2221; 7perc, hp, cel; stgs Duration: 24'Composed: 2023 Published by: Distributed Composer Jacob vs Angel was composed originally as a solo concert organ work in 2007; the orchestral version was completed in 2023.

The main theme of this composition was created on a clear, starry night on the 10th of August. While writing it, the Italian composer Angela Ciampani was inspired by her son Lorenzo and the sight of stars over the green hills of Umbria. Initially, it was a short solo for trumpet and piano: subsequently, Jacob de Haan extended and rewrote the composition for euphonium solo and band. This arrangement was created for the celebration of the 170th and 20th anniversaries, respectively, of the concert bands of Monteleone d'Orvieto and Citt della Pieve.

Het hoofdthema van deze compositie werd gecreëerd in de nacht van 10 augustus, een van die heldere nachten met sterren die zachtjes vallen om de dromen niet te wekken. De Italiaanse componiste Angela Ciampani werd bij het schrijven ervan ge nspireerd door haar zoon Lorenzo en de sporen van vallende sterren verspreid over de groene heuvels van Umbrië. In eerste instantie betrof het een korte solo voor trompet en piano, vervolgens heeft Jacob de Haan de compositie uitgebouwd en herschreven voor euphoniumsolo en blaasorkest. Aanleiding hiervoor was de viering van de 170e en 20e verjaardag van de harmonieorkesten van respectievelijk Monteleone d'Orvieto en Citt della Pieve.

Das Hauptthema dieser Komposition entstand in der Nacht des 10. August einer dieser sternenklaren Nächte, in der die Sternschnuppen sanft vom Himmel fallen, um die Träume der Schlafenden nicht zu stören. Die italienische Komponistin Angela Ciampani wurde bei der Komposition durch ihren Sohn Lorenzo und die Spuren der Sternschnuppen über den grünen Hügeln Umbriens inspiriert. Was ursprünglich als kurzes Solostück für Trompete und Klavier konzipiert war, wurde später von Jacob de Haan erweitert und für Solo-Euphonium und Blasorchester neu geschrieben. Der Anlass hierfür waren die Feiern zum 170. und 20. Jubiläum der Blasorchester von Monteleone d'Orvieto bzw. Citt dellaPieve.

Le thème principal de cette composition est né la nuit du 10 ao t, une de ces nuits claires où les étoiles tombent doucement pour ne pas perturber les rêves. La compositrice italienne Angela Ciampani a été inspirée par son fils Lorenzo et les traces des étoiles filantes dispersées par-dessus les collines vertes d’Ombrie. A l’origine, l’œuvre consistait en un court solo pour trompette et piano : par la suite, Jacob de Haan a étendu et réécrit la composition pour euphonium solo et harmonie l’occasion de la célébration des 170e et 20e anniversaires des orchestres de Monteleone d’Orvieto et de Citt della Pieve respectivement.
