How often has something been justified by, declared to be, or blessed as ??in the name of? some cause or other? How can it be that opposing armies and the use of weapons are ever ??in the name of?...? This is a common thread in the history of different faiths. Good was created but evil was committed and all ??in the name of...? This thread is also found in the history of the Premonstratensian Abbey at Wadgassen. The abbey was built in the 12th century on unfertile, desolate moorland, which later evolved into the most powerful religious community in the Saarland. The history of the abbey records quite astounding achievements under the motto desertum florebit quasi lilium (??the desert will bloom like a lily?); but also the harsh treatment of delinquents. The order had its own school, in which children were taught the seven liberal arts (which included music as well as geography and astronomy), but the poor were left to starve outside the abbey walls and were only allowed to eat from the members' on feast days. The medieval witch trials demanded their pound of flesh, and one group that fell victim were ecstatic dancers who moved wildly to music--which was interpreted as the devil's work. The result: a show trial that sentenced the dancers to death by fire. All in the name of... The year is 1789: Abbot Bordier is in the tenth year of his command. He does not yet know that he is to be the last abbot of an almost 700-year-tradition. Not far from the abbey is the French border, which has long been making itself felt with the sound of gunfire, and the brothers continue to keep a nervous eye on it. The first portents of the French Revolution loom, but no one wants to believe it--that is, until the French pound the door down, storm the abbey and come right into the brothers' chambers. In a blind fury, all the pipes of the abbey organ are torn out, icons beheaded with swords and brothers beaten death while numerous buildings are set on fire. The abbey church is in flames. A frantic and desperate escape begins. Abbot Bordier and a handful of brothers make their getaway via the River Saar, adjacent to the abbey, to the neighbouring village of Bous. They survive, but their life--the Premonstratensian abbey--is destroyed. While they flee towards Prague and the sanctuary of the Strahov Monastery, the abbey at Wadgassen is razed to the ground and becomes a stone quarry. The desert blooms once more, however. A few short decades later, a glasswork arises from the foundations of the abbey. As peace returns to the region, it brings jobs and a new vision for its people.

This collection of 27 pieces, transcribed and edited by the Howells scholar Jonathan Clinch and published for the first time to coincide with Matthew Schellhorn's recording of the complete piano music by Howells for Naxos, reveals a previously neglected aspect of this celebrated English composer. The pieces chart the musical development of Howells, from his earliest known work “The Arab's Song,” written when he as 16, to the “Petrus Suite,” completed in his 80s, as well as demonstrating his fascination with French music (“Phantasy,” “Harlequin Dreaming”) and the Tudor period (“Pavane” and “Galliard.”) The volume also includes the moving tribute to his friend and fellow composer Finzi. Comprising a wide array of pieces from characterful miniatures to more substantial suites, the collection will appeal to Howells devotees and lovers of 20th century English music, as well as to anyone seeking fresh and distinctive piano repertoire. Includes: The Arab's Song • To a Wild Flower • Romance • Melody • Legend • Summer Idyls: I. Meadow-Rest • II. Summer-Song • III. June-Haze • IV. Down the Hills • V. Quiet Woods • VI. Near Midnight • VII. In the Morning • Phantasy • Harlequin Dreaming • Minuet for Ursula • My Lord Harewood's Galliard • Finzi: His Rest • Siciliana • “Comme le cerf soupire...” • Pavane and Galliard • Petrus Suite: Finnicle's Scherzo • Gavotte • Vagrant Flute • Minuet • 'Sine Nomine' • Bassoonic's Dance • Odd's Minuet • Toccatina.

Bei den ,,In Nomine-Stucken handelt es sich um die Gegenuberstellung von unterschiedlichen Zeitmassen. Die gedehnte Zeit des durchgehenden Cantus firmus ,,Gloria Tibi Trinitas, dem unterschiedlich schnelle, figurative Bewegungsablaufe entgegengesetzt werden, ist ein gutes Beispiel fur die Spannungserzeugung in der Musik. Die Uberlagerung von stark divergierenden Zeitmassen und Spannungstemperaturen ist eine Extremform der Polyphonie, die aus den Rahmen dieser heraustretend die gleichzeitige Anwesenheit unterschiedlicher musikalischer ,,Dimensionen spuren lasst. Das von mir mit dem Begriff ,,Polydimensionalitat beschriebene Phanomen ist beinahe in allen Epochen der Musikgeschichte anzutreffen: im Fruhen Mittelalter bei Perotin, Vitry oder spater bei den Komponisten der Ars subtilior, dann in der italienischen und niederlandischen Vokalpolyphonie, und in den Choralvorspielen von Bach ebenso wie spater bei Ives oder Ligeti. Dieses ,,Divergenzbedurfnis ist auch in mehreren meiner Werke wieder zu finden, und vielleicht ist das der entscheidende Grund, warum mich diese Bull-Stucke so sehr faszinieren. Ein anderer inspirierender Aspekt und der eigentliche ,,Casus belli der Instrumentationsarbeit ist das enorme, inharente Farbpotenzial der Stucke. Diese heterogenen Linientexturen lassen sich in der Kombination der drei Instrumente wie ungewohnlich flexible Orgelregister mischen und differenzieren. Es geht aber noch einen Schritt weiter: Durch die besondere Farbenverteilung treten einzelne Linien- und Motivfragmente aus der ansonsten geschmeidig in sich verwobenen Textur plastisch hervor oder eben in den Hintergrund. Dieses Verfahren lasst in das intimste Innere des Werkes blicken und verleiht ihm eine beinahe naturalistische Plastizitat und Haptik, wie wenn man eine noch nicht ganz reife, hellgrune Feige in ihrer, in Form und Farbe harmonischen Ruhe plotzlich auf- und unterbricht und von der unerwarteten Unruhe des stachelig, feurig wuchernden Fruchtfleisches fur einen Moment in analytisch beobachtende Aufregung gerat.
