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).

In ‘Land of Legends’ German composer Andreas Ludwig (what’s in a name) Schulte takes you along to the fictional world of legends, myths and fairy tales. The introduction to the first part (The Castle) describes the majestic contours of the scene of action. Its instrumentation (horns) immediately makes you imagine being in Medieval spheres. The addition of trenchant copper instruments even gives the part a heroic tinge. After entering through the gate, a lot of hustle and bustle appears to be going on in the courtyard. Pages, squires and soldiers are busy attending to their arms. Beer is being brewed, flax is being spun, cattle are being tended and some craftsmen fromneighbouring villages are busily at work. In the upper chamber of the round tower lives an old man (The Old Wizard). He hardly ever comes out, and nobody knows exactly what he is doing. It is said that he is engaged in wizardry and magic. It is all very mysterious. There are also festivities, some of them sober, others exuberant. The wedding in the third part is celebrated in a grand manner. With a flourish of trumpets, the bride makes her entrance at the hand of her father. Afterwards, at the party there is dancing to the music played by minstrels and of course a plentiful banquet follows. In ‘Land of Legends’ worden we door de Duitse componist Andreas Ludwig (what’s in a name) Schulte meegenomen in de fictieve wereld van legendes, sagen en sprookjes. De inleiding van het eerste deel (The Castle) beschrijft de majestueuzecontouren van de plaats van handeling. De instrumentatie (hoorns) zorgt er mede voor dat we ons direct in Middeleeuwse sferen wanen. De toevoeging van het scherp koper geeft zelfs een heldhaftige tintje.Wanneer we doorde poort naar binnen gaan blijkt dat het op binnenplaats een en al bedrijvigheid is. De pages, schildknapen en soldaten houden zich bezig met het in tact houden van de wapenuitrusting. Er wordt bier gebrouwen, vlas gesponnen,het vee wordt verzorgd en enkele ambachtslieden uit de omliggende dorpen zijn druk in de weer.In de bovenste kamer van de ronde toren verblijft een oude wijze man (The old Wizzard). Hij laat zich bijna nooit zien, niemandweet wat hij precies doet. Er wordt gezegd dat hij zich bezig houdt met tovenarij/magie. Het is een groot mysterie, in nevelen gehuld.Gefeest werd er ook. De ene keer sober de andere keer uitbundig. De bruiloft in het derdedeel heeft allure. Onder luid trompetgeschal wordt de bruid aan de hand van haar vader binnengebracht. Tijdens het feest wordt er gedanst onder begeleiding van de troubadours en natuurlijk volgt een bourgondische maaltijd.

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 ...
