In deze compositie draait het om de terts. Zoals een persoon zijn of haar voorkomen kan transformeren door het veranderen van kleding of haardracht, zijn hier alle mogelijkheden van de terts gebruikt: majeur, mineur, overmatig enverminderd. Een zelfde thema is in alle drie de delen te herkennen. De terts wordt steeds gevarieerd en veranderd, dat wil zeggen aangepast aan de situatie. Het is mogelijk om de drie delen zonder langere pauzes te spelen als eencompleet stuk (attacca).

In verschiedenen Situationen (Episoden) reagiert eine Person aufgrund ihrer Charaktereigenschaften und Verhaltensweisen immer wieder ähnlich. Daher legte Adolf Götz in seiner Komposition für Akkordeonorchester ein aus der Terz gestaltetes Thema allen drei Sätzen zugrunde, mal variiert und umgestaltet und somit der jeweiligen Situation angepasst. Die Sätze können nacheinander oder ohne größere Unterbrechungen als geschlossenes Stück (“attacca“) aufgeführt werden.

Episode s est une suite de petites narrations musicales dont chacune est représentée par une figure caractéristique individuelle qui se distingue par un motif de base. Dans cette pièce, il s’agit de l’intervalle de tierce. Toutes les possibilités de l’intervalle sont exploitées la manière d’une personne qui changerait de style en portant d’autres vêtements ou en changeant de coiffure. Ainsi, un thème formé partir d’une tierce pourra être entendu travers les trois mouvements du morceau ; sous forme de variante et retravaillé pour être adapté la situation. Les trois mouvements de cette suite peuvent être enchaînés sans pause, afin de constituer une grande pièce deconcert (attacca).

These short pieces are inspired by the extraordinary piano music of the little known Yorkshire composer William Baines. Baines died in 1922 at the age of 23 but left behind a substantial catalogu e of over 150 works. Likened to that of Scriabin, Baines’ piano music is sensuous, highly coloured and quite unlike anything being written by his British contemporaries.  Shadows (Volume I)  are reflections on episodes from Baines’ life and diary entries, each piece incorporating a chord, a gesture or a figuration from one of Baines’ solo piano works. It was particularly fitting that the set received its premiere in Yorkshire inthe fabulous surroundings of Ripon Cathedral.

This delightful new composition takes its inspiration from the classic French swash buckling tale of Cyrano de Bergerac and his fight to win the love of the beautiful maiden Roxane. The subject was a perfect departure point for composing a symphonic poem with a variety of musical aspects reflecting the story. Lyricism (the theme of Roxane), dramatic episodes, as well as Debussy-inspired impressionist moments are some of the elements that give the band and its conductor the chance to expose themselves as a versatile ensemble being able to create colour, to sing and to play like virtuosi. This work is sure to become a standard item in the concert band repertoire.

In Cyrano verklankt de componist Piet Swerts het romantische en tragische verhaal van de briljante dichter en zwaardkunstenaar Cyrano de Bergerac en zijn mooie, intellectuele nicht Roxane, op wie hij tot over zijn oren verliefdis. Zijn uiterlijk, met name zijn buitengewoon grote neus, belet hem om zijn gevoelens tegenover haar te uiten. De vele verwikkelingen die uit deze situatie voortkomen zijn te herkennen in deze programmatische compositie.

Piet Swerts erzählt hier musikalisch die tragisch-romantische Geschichte von Cyrano de Bergerac, der einem verliebten Freund hilft, seine Liebe zu erobern und sich dann selbst unglücklich in dessen Angebetete verliebt. Diese Komposition spiegelt die Geschichte mit einer Vielfalt an musikalischen Aspekten eindrucksvoll wider. Lyrik, dramatische Episoden sowie von Debussy inspirierte, impressionistische Momente sind einige der Elemente, die dem Blasorchester und seinem Dirigenten die Chance bieten, sich als vielseitiges Ensemble, das zugleich Farben entfalten, singen und virtuos spielen kann, zu präsentieren.

La comédie héro que Cyrano de Bergerac (1897) valut son auteur une gloire immédiate. Cyrano, héros tragique et attachant, est entré dans le patrimoine universel, sans doute parce qu’il incarne superbement un mythe bien ancien : celui de l’amour et du bonheur impossibles. Ce délicieux chef-d’œuvre thé tral d’Edmond Rostand a inspiré ce poème symphonique de Piet Swerts qui s’articule autour d’une grande diversité musicale exprimant différentes scènes de la pièce. Passages lyriques, épisodes dramatiques et moments impressionnistes, Cyrano comprend de nombreux ingrédients qui permettent au chef et sa formation d’exploiter leur polyvalence travers lacouleur, le chant et le jeu virtuose.

La commedia Cyrano de Bergerac (1897) valse al suo autore gloria immediata. Cyrano, eroe tragico e commovente, è entrato nel patrimonio universale senza dubbio perché incarna a meraviglia un mito molto antico: quello dell’amore e della felicit impossibili. Questo delizioso capolavoro teatrale di Edmond Rostand ha ispirato il poema sinfonico che si articola attorno ad una grande diversit musicale esprimendo diverse scene dell’opera teatrale. Passaggi lirici, episodi drammatici e momenti impressionanti, Cyrano comprende numerosi ingredienti che permettono al maestro di sfruttare la polivalenza attraverso il colore, il canto e il suono virtuoso.
