SKU: BT.AMP-378-140

9x12 inches. English-German-French-Dut ch.

The Shakers were a sect who, in the 18th Century, sailed out from England to America. Right into the late 19th Century, the numerous songs of this community were handed down orally, until they were written down in various volumes of song collections. Philip Sparke’s fantasy for wind band is based on a selection of these beautiful, captivatingly simple songs.

De ‘United Society of Believers in Christ’s Second Appearing’ was een van de religieuze groeperingen die in het 18e-eeuwse Engeland ontstonden. De zogenoemde shakers componeerden duizenden liederen, die veelal mooi zijn in al hun eenvoud. Ze werden van oorsprong mondeling overgeleverd tot er eind 19e eeuw voor het eerst bundels werden uitgegeven. Voor deze briljante compositie selecteerde Philip Sparke zorgvuldig enkele van de liederen uit deze bundels.

Die Shaker waren eine Sekte, die im 18. Jahrhundert von England nach Amerika auswanderte. Bis ins späte 19. Jahrhundert wurden die zahlreichen Lieder dieser Gemeinschaft nur mündlich tradiert, bevor sie in verschiedenen Sammlungen niedergeschrieben wurden. Philip Sparkes Fantasie für Blasorchester basiert auf einer Auswahl dieser schönen, durch ihre Schlichtheit bestechenden Lieder.

Le contenu de cette composition offre une belle palette d’émotions aux teintes énergiques, dynamiques et intenses, sans omettre toutefois des intonations poétiques empreintes de douceur et délicatesse. Une introduction majestueuse cède la place une ligne mélodique s’intensi_x001C_fi ant peu peu en rassemblant l’ensemble des pupitres puis s’oriente vers un diminuendo. Lors du passage central, bois et cuivres s’interpellent joyeusement autour d’un thème festif. La conclusion est pétulante_x001E_!

Carl Maria von Weber's fame rests mainly on 'Der Freischutz'. The unprecedented success of this opera overshadowed all his other works and contributed to their increasing fall into oblivion. Certain works such as 'Preciosa', 'Oberon', and 'Euryanthe', the overtures, solo concertos and piano sonatas, the lieder and chamber works enjoyed great popularity and were widely known in Germany and abroad as late as the second half of the 19th century. However, any chance of a revival of Weber's influential and substantial oeuvre was wasted in the 1920s, when a complete edition - begun by Hans Joachim Moser and with potential contributors including Wilhelm Kempff, Hans Pfitzner, Max von Schillings, Fritz Stein and Richard Strauss - failed after the third volume.Ever since there have been numerous attempts to restart a complete edition of Weber's works, but as this kind of project would have required the co-operation of scholars from both sides of the inter-German border, the political situation after 1945 was not conducive to any such enterprise. Careful negotiations led to the first tangible steps in the 1980s. The intention, right from the beginning, was to place Weber's work in context, and not to separate his musical output from his influential work as a writer, critic and organiser in the musical field, but to publish his compositions together with his letters, diaries and other literary output as the best way to document the cross-fertilisation between his musical, literary and practical activities.Since the German re-unification both working-parties concerned - at the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, and at the Musikwissenschaftliches Seminar, Detmold/Paderborn - have co-operated on the complete edition of the musical works (c. 45 volumes in 10 series: sacred music; cantatas, odes and other occasional works; stage works; lieder and vocal works; orchestral works; chamber music; music for piano; piano reductions; miscellanea, arrangements and orchestrations; works of doubtful attribution). The diaries (6-8 vols.) are edited in Berlin and the letters (8-10 vols.) and other writings (2 vols.) in Detmold. This complete edition aims to be a reliable basis of scholarly debate as well as for the authentic performance practice of Carl Maria von Weber's music. Conforming to the standards of recent historico-critical editions, the textual material will be based on all available authentic sources, accompanied by a detailed documentation of the genesis and a list of variants for each work. The musicological importance of the works will be evaluated by placing them in their historical context, the presentation of their genesis, history and Critical Commentaries. The letters, writings and diaries will be treated as inter-related and relevant to each other in the commentaries, therefore readers should benefit from a wealth of concise information and cross-references.

This cycle arranged by Aribert Reimann of eight Lieder by Mendelssohn contains well-known items like: 'Leise zieht durch mein Gemut' and 'Auf Flugeln des Gesangs'. The songs are joined to each other by specially composed intermezzi which attempt - with refer-ence to the thematic material of the songs - to re-interpret Mendelssohn's idiom for our time. '... oder soll es Tod bedeuten' ist the final work in Reimann's series of adaptions of 19th-century songs for voice and string quartet. Franz Schubert's 'Mignon' (ED 8466) has already been published. All these cycles have been recorded by Juliane Banse and the Cherubini Quartet and are available on CD (TUD 7063).
