Perseus is the famous Greek hero who saved Princess Andromeda,as she was about to be sacrificed to the sea monster Kraken. SatoshiYagisawa was inspired by the story of Perseus, which was madefamous in the 1980’s movie Clash of the Titans. The music is full ofdrama and it is easy to imagine the dark underworld as monstersbattle to survive. The members of your band can sing the choirparts, adding to the fun of this epic tale! Satoshi Yagisawa werd voor zijn compositie ge nspireerd door de film Clash of the Titans, die is gebaseerd op de mythe van de Griekse held Perseus. Dirigent Yasuhara zei over Perseus: “De mogelijkheden voor de jongeblazers zijn eindeloos. Het is een groot genoegen om ze in aanraking te zien komen met een prachtige compositie en ze samen te zien groeien door middel van muziek.â€Cette composition développe un thème éthéré de texture chorale. Satoshi Yagisawa a choisi d’illustrer Persée, une constellation qui doit son nom au célèbre héros grec qui délivra la princesse Andromède, offerte en sacrifice au monstre marin Cetus (ou Kraken). Pour ce faire, Satoshi Yagisawa s’est largement inspiré du film britannique Le Choc des Titans (1981) du réalisateur Desmond Davis, avec une musique dramatique qui devrait convenir de nombreuses formations.

Pandora appears in Greek mythology the first woman, created by the gods and sent to earth as an evil addition to the human race. ‘Pan’ means ‘all’ and ‘dora’ means ‘gifted’. Pandora’s Box must by no means be opened. The various stories surrounding this box inspired Yagisawa to write this dramatic piece, an addition to his series of pieces based on Greek mythology, such as Perseus. Pandora is een figuur uit de Griekse mythologie. Het is de eerste vrouw die de goden naar de aarde zonden. Ze kreeg een doos mee. Oppergod Zeus had de sleutel erbij gegeven en tegen Pandora gezegd dat ze de doos nooit moest openen als ze gelukkig wilde leven. Toch won de nieuwsgierigheid het en Pandora opende de doos. In een klap kwamen daar alle tegenslagen en onheil uit die een mens maar kunnen treffen. De verschillende verhalen rond deze doos inspireerden Yagisawa tot het schrijven van dit dramatische stuk. Het is een aanvulling op zijn reeks werken waarbij hij zich eveneens baseerde op de Griekse mythologie, zoals Perseus.Pandora erscheint in der griechischen Mythologie als erste Frau, die von den Göttern erschaffen und als böse Ergänzung der Menschheit auf die Erde geschickt wurde. Pan“ bedeutet all-, gesamt“ und dora“ steht für begabt“. Die Büchse der Pandora sollte auf gar keinen Fall geöffnet werden. Die verschiedenen Geschichten um diese Büchse lieferten Yagisawa die Inspiration für das dramatische Stück als Ergänzung seiner Serie an Werken, die auf der griechischen Mythologie basieren, wie zum Beispiel Perseus.Pandore figure dans la mythologie grecque la première femme, créée par les dieux et envoyée sur terre en tant que complément maléfique la race humaine. « Pan » signifie « tout » et « dora » veut dire « doué ». La boîte de Pandore ne doit absolument pas être ouverte ! Les histoires racontées au sujet de cette boîte ont inspiré Satoshi Yagisawa écrire cette oeuvre dramatique, un ajout sa série d’oeuvres basées sur la mythologie grecque. Pandora compare nella mitologia greca, la prima donna creata dagli dei, mandata sulla terra e causa dei mali futuri del genere umano. ‘Pan’ significa ‘tutto’ e ‘dora’ significa ‘dono’. Il vaso di Pandora non deve essere assolutamente aperto. Le varie storie che circondano il vaso hanno ispirato Yagisawa nella scrittura di un pezzo drammatico, che si aggiunge alla sua serie di pezzi basati sulla mitologia greca come Perseus.

Both a spectacular concerto for saxophone, and a dramatic tone poem on Roman mythology, QUICKSILVER is a 23-minute concerto for Alto Saxophone and Wind Ensemble by one of the sax literature’s most commissioned and admired composers.Through worded captions as well as gorgeously expressive tone painting, Movement 1 depicts the birth and childhood pranks of Mercury, Movement 2 shows him escorting souls to the gates of the Underworld, and Movement 3 is a phantasmagoric finale portraying Mercury as messenger amid the conflicts of other mythological figures. There are many YouTube performances available, both in the original version with Wind Ensemble, and with Piano.In addition to being another name for the element mercury, “quicksilver†is used to describe something that changes quickly or is difficult to contain. My concerto of the same name was inspired by the Roman god Mercury, as well as the mercurial nature of the saxophone: unpredictable, very lively, and volatile. Mercury (known as Hermes in Greek mythology) is best known for his winged shoes, which allowed him to fly swiftly as the messenger of his fellow Olympians. Mercury had other duties too, including serving as the god of merchants, travelers, and tricksters; he also ushered souls of the departed to the Underworld.Quicksilver tells three tales of the Roman god. The first movement (Antics of a Newborn God) opens with the birth of Mercury; after he takes his first steps, he toddles around, gleefully looking for mischief. He stumbles across a herd of cows that belong to his brother Apollo; Mercury slyly lets the cows out of their pen before toddling onward with his mischief-making.In the second movement (Guiding Souls to the Underworld), Pluto, god of the Underworld, bids Mercury to bring him fresh souls. The movement begins with death-knells tolling for humans who are about to die; Mercury picks up these souls and leads them down to the gates of the Underworld.The third and final movement (Messenger of Olympus) depicts Mercury as he is busily running errands for various gods and goddesses. We first encounter him mid-flight as he dashes to earth to find Aeneas, a Trojan lieutenant who had been run out of Troy by the invading Greeks. Aeneas is on a quest to find land on which to establish a new city that would eventually become Rome. While traveling, he is distracted from his quest when he meets the beautiful queen Dido. They live together for many years before Mercury intervenes; he chastises Aeneas for giving up on his quest and persuades him to pick it up again. As Aeneas mournfully resumes his journey, we hear Dido perish of a broken heart. Mercury then takes to the skies to seek out Perseus, who is preparing to kill Medusa, the hideous gorgon who has snakes for hair and a gaze that turns those who catch her glance into stone. Mercury advises Perseus on how to slay Medusa and lends Perseus his sword to do the deed. We hear Perseus victorious in the beheading of Medusa, after which Mercury takes to the skies once more to fly home to Olympus.

This piece was commissioned by Matsudo Citizen Wind Orchestra for their 30th anniversary concert and premiered by the band conducted by Kenichiro Hasunuma in July 2009. This piece is typical of Satoshi Yagisawa in that it depicts a magnificent spectacle. This one is set in ancient Egypt and is based on the story depicted in the famous film The Ten Commandments (1956, directed by Cecil B. DeMille). One day Moses, who was raised by the rich royal family, found out that he was originally Hebrew. The Hebrews had been forced to live as slaves. Ramses, the prince directly descended from the Pharaoh, envied Moses' strength and popularity. After internal argument Moses decides todeliver the Hebrew from the Pharaoh's tyranny and escape from Egypt with them.The music starts with brilliant royal fanfare and depicts magnificent architecture, the Hebrew people forced into hard labour, and the slaves escaping from the Pharaoh's tyranny. At the climax they are at crisis point, trapped by the sea. Moses waves his staff and the miracle happens; the sea parts and Hebrew people successfully escape. Following on from Perseus - A Hero's Quest in the Heavens, this work Moses and Ramses is another piece written in the dramatic style favoured by Satoshi Yagisawa. Het oude testament verhaalt van Mozes die met zijn volk Egypte verlaat, na zijn strijd met de jonge farao Ramses. De film The Ten Commandments uit 1956 is gebaseerd op dit verhaal. Satoshi Yagisawa zette de beelden van dezemonumentale film om in de karakteristiek dramatische stijl die zo eigen is voor de verfilming. De muzikale beelden geven het koninklijke paleis weer, maar ook de architectonische pracht en praal van het oude Egypte. Ook komen deverlossing van de slavernij en de uittocht aan bod. Natuurlijk met als hoogtepunt dat Mozes de zee opent en het volk door de zee uit Egypte leidt. Een fantastisch spektakel!Von Moses, der nach einem Streit mit dem jungen Ramses mit seinem ganzen Volk, Israel, das Land verliess, erzahlt das alte Testament und der darauf basierende Film Die zehn Gebote von 1965. Satoshi Yagisawa setzte die Bilder dieses monumentalen Films in seinem charakteristischen dramatischen Stil um: Die musikalischen Bilder zeigen den Konigshof, die architektonische Pracht des alten Agypten, das versklavte Volk Israel und natürlich die Flucht mit dem Hohepunkt, als Moses das Meer teilt. Ein prachtvolles Spektakel!Moses and Ramses (Moise et Ramses) est une commande de l'Orchestre d'Harmonie de la ville de Matsudo au Japon, a l'occasion des festivites marquant le trentieme anniversaire de la creation de la formation. La premiere mondiale a eu lieu en juillet 2009. Elle fut assuree par la formation dedicataire, placee sous la direction de Kenichiro Hasunuma. Apres Perseus - A Hero's Quest in the Heavens, Satoshi Yagisawa nous livre une nouvelle œuvre dramatique, flamboyante et epique. L'action se deroule en Egypte ancienne, et suit la chronologie du celebre film biblique Les Dix Commandements (1956), du realisateur americain Cecil B. DeMille. Le jeune Moisegrandit au sein de la riche famille royale egyptienne. Devenu adulte, il decouvre ses origines hebraiques. Or, Pharaon a reduit les Hebreux en esclavage. Le prince Ramses, descendant direct de Pharaon, envie la force et la gloire de Moise. Apres une querelle grave, Moise doit fuir dans le desert. Dans son exil, il decide de delivrer son peuple de la tyrannie de Pharaon et de le mener hors d'Egypte. L'œuvre debute avec une fanfare royale flamboyante qui sonne la grandeur architecturale de l'Egypte. Le peuple d'Israel est condamne a subir les travaux forces ; des esclaves echappent a la tyrannie du Pharaon. Lorsque la musique atteint sa densite maximale, les Hebreux en fuite sont accules devant la mer Rouge. Moise invoque Dieu. Celui-ci lui ordonne de lever son baton au-dessus des eaux de la mer Rouge. Moise obeit et le miracle se produit ; les eaux se divisent en deux pour laisser passer les enfants d'Israel.

Commissioned by Arts Trio, Acuarelas is an ensemble of pictures with an independent form and content that are closely related to the development of the sound processing. These pictures are not related each other, except the first and the last one. In both cases, it is represented two crucial moments of Perseus' myth, which iconography enhances the perfect balance of Cellini's sculpture. In Acuarelas the particular timbre ressources are put aside but not given up. The piece shows a special emphasis in transparencies and light and shades as used in watercolor painting. The contrast among the different numbers is based on concepts of the music discourse and doesn't make concession to side effects.
