Barcarolles for a Sinking City was inspired by the city of Venice, a place that has long held the fascination of artists, writers and composers, and which I have been lucky enough to visit on several occasions. Sadly it seems that future generations may not be so lucky: in addition to the city's slow sinking and recently discovered tilting, studies predict that if global warming and the resultant rise of ocean levels is unabated, the entire city (as well as many other coastal cities around the globe) will be under water by 2100. I. Funeral Gondola The late, cryptic piano works of Franz Liszt made a profound impression on me as a young composer, among them two works he entitled La Lugubre Gondola (usually translated as The Funeral Gondola ) which were said to be a premonition of Wagner's death in Venice, his coffin transported through the canals in a black gondola. These late pieces of Liszt acquired even greater significance to me after I spent two summers in Bayreuth under the patronage of Friedelind Wagner, the granddaughter of Wagner and great-granddaughter of Liszt. This movement is a meditation on Wagner, Liszt, Venice and its own evanescence. II. Barcarolle/Quodlibet The Quodlibet (Latin for what pleases) is a musical form dating back to the 15th century where many disparate melodies are juxtaposed. Popular in the Renaissance, sacred and secular melodies were combined, often to comical effect due to the resultant incongruity of the words. The form was considered the ultimate test of a composer's mastery of counterpoint. The most famous Quodlibet is without doubt the final Variation of Bach's Goldberg Variations. As a form the Quodlibet is less common in more recent music, although examples can be found in the works of Kurt Weill and David Del Tredici. My own Barcarolle/Quodlibet was inspired by the (perhaps apocryphal) story of the funeral where musicians were asked to play a Bach Choral, but due to miscommunication played instead the Bacarolle from The Tales of Hoffmann. Here, the Bach Choral Allen Menschen mussen sterben (All Men Must Die) is heard in the strings pizzicato, with a tempo indication In slow motion. The alto line of the Bach suggests a phrase from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony (Alle Menchen werden Bruder) heard in the muted trombone. Before long, the famous tune from Offenbach's opera is heard, followed by quotations from iconic Barcarolles by Chopin, Mendelssohn and Faure, as well as two Venetian popular songs and more Beethoven. III. Barcarola/Ostinato/Carillon An ostinato is a repeated musical figure, and carillon is Italian for music box. This movement references the obsolete genre of salon pieces that imitated music boxes: such works by composers like Liadov and Gretchaninov used to be a mainstay of pianists' encore repertoire. This movement is however much darker in conception than those pleasant trifles. Utilizing the full battery of percussion, the carefully notated temporal slowing of the ostinato becomes overwhelmed by a poignant chorale melody before this box is snapped shut. IV. Barcarolle Oubliee (Forgotten Barcarolle) Marked limpido (still) the final movement begins with the sound of rain produced by a percussion instrument called (appropriately) a rain stick. Halting phrases in the harp coalesce into the accompaniment for a plangent melody heard in the clarinet. The central Adagio of this movement leads to a shattering climax, before the opening phrases return and dissipate into nothingness.

“French composer, conductor and teacher, Jules Semler-Collery (1902-1988) studied at the Paris Conservatoire where he won many prizes. He became well-known as a composer and his works remain popular to this day, including his Barcarolle and Bacchanalian Songs for Tuba, Double Bass, Bass Saxhorn or Brass Trombone and Piano. Semler-Collery's success as a composer has been proven by the inclusion of many of his compositions in the list of compulsory works at the Paris Conservatoire. The two movements of Barcarolle and Bacchanalian Song, adaptable for a variety of bass instruments, reflect their titles by use of a variety of musical features. Suitable for advanced Tuba, Double Bass, Bass Saxhorn and Bass Trombone players, Semler-Collery's Barcarolle and Bacchanalian Song is an exciting addition to the bass instrument's repertoire.”.

The famous Barcarolle from Offenbach’s The Tales of Hoffmann opens the fourth act of the opera, which takes place in Venice. For this reason Offenbach chose a barcarolle - a Venetian gondolier song with its characteristic swaying rhythm. Wil van der Beek’s arrangement gives this romantic song an alternative, lighter beginning, making it suitable for almost any wind orchestra. Jacques Offenbach (1819 - 1880) was een Franse componist van Duitse afkomst. Hij geldt in het algemeen als een van de belangrijkste scheppers van de operette, een term, die hijzelf nooit gebruikte, hij sprak liever van opéra bouffeof opéra comique. Hier mogen zijn alom bekende werken genoemd worden zoals “Orphée aux enfers”, “La belle Hélène”, “Barbe-bleue” en “La vie Parisienne”.Offenbach schreef slechts één opera, die nu nog steeds repertoire houdt: “LesContes d’Hoffmann”, zijn zwanenzang, die bij zijn overlijden nog niet geheel af was. Ernest Guiraud voltooide dit werk en was zo handig om uit een eerdere compositie van Offenbach (“Les fées du Rhin” uit 1863) een lied te nemenen dit als barcarolle toe te voegen. Dit bleek een gouden greep te zijn! Deze barcarolle is immers wereldberoemd geworden.Een barcarolle (ook wel gondellied genoemd, het Italiaanse “barca” betekent boot) is een volksliedje, dat gezongenwordt door Venetiaanse gondeliers, of het is een muziekstuk, dat in die stijl gecomponeerd is, doorgaans in een wiegende 6/8 maat. Grote klassieke meesters namen graag barcarolles op in hun opera’s (Weber, Rossini, Donizetti,Verdi), maar als zelfstandige compositie is de barcarolle ook erg geliefd (Mendelssohn, Tschaikowsky, Bartok, Fauré, Glazoenov, Villa-Lobos, Gershwin, Bernstein bijv.).Die berühmte Barcarolle aus der Oper Hoffmanns Erzählungen von Jacques Offenbach eröffnet den vierten Akt der Oper, der in Venedig spielt. Daher wählte Offenbach eine Barcarole - ein venezianisches Gondellied mit seinem charakteristischen wiegenden Rhythmus. Mit einem alternativen, leichteren Beginn macht Wil van der Beeks Bearbeitung das romantische Lied fast jedem Blasorchester zugänglich. La célèbre Barcarolle des Contes d’Hoffmann ouvre le quatrième acte de cet opéra d’Offenbach. Celui-ci se déroulant Venise, le compositeur a choisi une barcarolle - un chant typique des gondoliers vénitiens dont le rythme évoque le balancement d’une barque. Wil van der Beek a arrangé cette chanson en lui donnant une introduction plus légère convenant tout orchestre d’harmonie. La famosa Barcarolle dall’opera I racconti di Hoffmann di Jacques Offenbach, apre il quarto atto dell’opera che si gira a Venezia, con una barcarola, canzone dei gondolieri veneziani dai ritmi molto ondeggianti. Optando per un inizio più accessibile, l’arrangiamento di Wil van der Beek di questa romantica canzone è adatto alla grande maggioranza delle bande.

A new discovery for cellists an attractive and lyrical Barcarolle for solo cello with string orchestra and harp by the famous operetta and ballet composer André Messager. The autograph score recently came to light in the USA and is the composer's own adaptation of a Barcarolle for violin and piano he published in 1897. This is a welcome rediscovery for violinists too, for the original version is also included as part of the new edition. Both cellists and violinists will therefore have a choice of either piano or orchestral accompaniment. Messager's Barcarolle represents a substantial addition to the instrumental legacy of a sadly neglected French master.
