“Melo dic charm, bel canto sensibility, impressionist harmony à la Française and jazz rhythm influences unite in this quartet for three B-flat Clarinets and Bass Clarinet. Yellow Green was premiered on July 23rd, 2013 at the Teatro Municipal de Niterói (Rio de Janeiro) by the musicians of the Omega Quartet: Maurício Silva, Deusiel da Cunha de Souza, Diego Abreu and Mateus Falkemback (bass clarinet). Approxima tely 9 minutes in length, the title ' Yellow Green ' is a tribute to the two colours of the Brazilian flag. The introduction gives way to a vast Fugue (marked Vivace) dipped in the colours of swing. The central Adagio floats a dreamy, timeless melody. The brief finale brings together the fugue's thematic material with one last recommendation for the performers: 'Feel jazz'. This invigorating work was recorded for the Chant de Linos label by its dedicatees, the Omega Quartet clarinetists.&rdquo.

English country dancing has been popular for over 300 years, and The Dancing Master features two delightful folk tunes in that timeless style arranged by Andrew H. Dabczynski. The first lively tune, Jamaica, has been used in the theme to the British TV comedy, Upstart Crow, and the second, The Goddesses, offers a charming contrast. Attributed to John Playford, these melodies fall under the fingers of beginning string students with interesting, rhythmic parts for all players. An optional hand-drum part adds to the upbeat 17th century dance atmosphere. (2:10).

The text echos a beatitudes motif, as the title indicates. The music's simplicity belies (or perhaps contributes to) the power of its timeless message of hope and comfort. Duration 3:00.

This suite was written in the style of traditional Russian folk music, but does not use existing melodies or themes as its basis. The colourful and varied work contains a number of surprising turns, but also familiar sounds. After the introduction, a kind of Trepak follows ? a fairly quick dance with attractive themes. The second movement (Garovot) is predominantly slow and conveys some melancholy, although, during a more dynamic passage the passion flares up again. Finally, the Troika takes us along in a reindeer sleigh through a grand snowy landscape. This is a wonderful tribute to the music of Eastern Europe in the style of some of the great Russian masters.Net als Rikudim, Puszta en Balkanya, eveneens van de hand van Jan Van der Roost, is deze kleurige en gevarieerde suite geschreven in de stijl van traditionele Russische muziek, zonder dat bestaande melodieën of thema’sals basis hebben gediend. Tanczi bevat een paar verrassende wendingen, maar ook vertrouwde klanken. Na de inleiding volgt een soort Trepak: een tamelijk snelle dans met fraaie thema’s. Het tweede deel (Garovot) isoverwegend langzaam en ademt enige melancholie, al laait tijdens een dynamischer middengedeelte de passie weer op. De Troika neemt ons ten slotte mee in een rendierslee door een weids sneeuwlandschap. Een werk vol afwisseing!Wie seine Werke Rikudim, Puszta und Balkanya schrieb Jan Van der Roost diese Suite im Stil russischer Volksmusik, ohne dabei bestehende Melodien oder Themen zu verwenden. Melancholie, aber auch feuriges Temperament, Virtuosität neben sehr vertrauten Momenten und melodischer Ausdruck neben würzigen Rhythmen: Das alles steckt in der Seele russischer Musik. Diese klangfarben- und abwechslungsreiche Suite wartet mit einer Reihe überraschender Wendungen auf, enthält aber auch vertraute Klänge.Cette suite colorée et variée contient des cheminements surprenants dans un paysage sonore caractéristique de l’ me musicale russe. L’introduction est suivie d’une danse rapide qui s’apparente au Trepak ; les thèmes sont accrocheurs. Le second mouvement, Garovot, est lent dans l’ensemble et quelque peu mélancolique. Pourtant, la passion renaît dans un passage plus animé. Enfin, Troika nous emmène pour une promenade en traîneau tiré par des rennes travers un vaste paysage enneigé.Questa suite colorata e varia contiene cammini sorprendenti in un paesaggio sonoro caratteristico dell’anima musicale russa. L’introduzione è seguita da una danza veloce simile al Trepak; i temi sono combattivi. Il secondo movimento, Garovot, è lento e malinconico. Ma la passione rinasce in un passaggio più animato. Infine, Troika ci accompagna in una passeggiata su una slitta trainata da renne attraverso un paesaggio innevato.
