Im April 2009 jährt sich der Todestag von Georg Friedrich Händel zum 250. Mal. Ein guter Grund, seinen Werken in diesem Jahr besondere Aufmerksamkeit zu schenken. Zum Beispiel mit einem thematischen Konzertprogramm, das mit dieser Bearbeitung der Ouvertüre in d-Moll beginnen könnte.

De 1717 1720, Haendel est au service du duc de Chandos Cannons. De cette époque datent les magnifiques Chandos Anthems (grands motets pour choeur, voix de solistes, orgue et orchestre) qui reflètent merveilleusement la capacité du compositeur créer des sonorités magnifiques avec une formation musicale modeste. L’Ouverture en Ré mineur est extraite du Chandos Anthem n° 2 (HWV 247) In the Lord put I my trust qui constitue une des plus belles pages de musique religieuse du compositeur.

As the title suggests, Spanish Overture has a strong Spanish character. The music in this overture is full of quintessential Spanish colours. Following a fluid and spontaneous development which moves between major and minor keys, a slow passage with a calm and peaceful melodic line is presented. The finale of this passionate work recalls the initial theme now presented in all its splendour.

Der Name verrät bereits, dass in dieser Ouvertüre vom ersten Takt an spanisches Temperament vorherrscht. Auf eine spontane Entwicklung, in der sich Dur- und Molltonarten abwechseln, folgt ein langsamer Abschnitt, in welchem das melodische Thema in den Vordergrund treten und dem Stück so eine Atempause lassen kann. Zum Abschluss dieses bezaubernden Werkes erscheinen die Themen des Anfangs erneut in all ihrem Glanz. Holen Sie mit leicht spielbarer Musik Spanien in Ihre Aufführung!

This energetic overture opens strongly with the low brass presenting a melodic arpeggio motive that recurs throughout the A section of the piece. The B section provides an excellent contrast with an expressive presentation by the woodwinds leading to a sensitive chorale setting. With shifting minor and major modes, the section builds with the brass before ending in a tranquil manner. A repeat of the opening section leads to a dynamic coda, bringing the piece to an exciting conclusion.

This is well written educational material that plays at the more technical end of this grade level.

This overture is the opening of the 146th Church Cantata. It is scored for full string orchestra with organ obbligato and is the original form of the first movement of the later and better known Piano Concerto in D minor. In its early form this work lends itself more readily to a modern piano adaptation than in the later Concerto form. Wir mussen durch viel trubsal in das reich Gottes eingehen.

Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov completed this programmatic overture in the spring of 1888 and dedicated it to the memory of two of his friends who were also prolific Russian composers, Modest Mussorgsky and Alexander Borodin. He utilized original melodies and traditional melodies from liturgical chants of the Russian Orthodox Church. His brilliance as an orchestrator was showcased in this large work for full orchestra and included multiple time and key signatures in addition to various solos and cadenzas.This arrangement stays true to the original key signatures and includes all main melodic and harmonic voices and structure in a continuous performance that is accessible and challenging. Care should be shown to the changes in meter, tempo and key signatures along with techniques such as divisi and tremolo. Subdivision and counting can be reinforced throughout this piece. In addition, suggested fingerings have been given to help navigate chromatic and shifting portions of this arrangement. Enjoy performing this arrangement of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s masterpiece!
