The idea of composing 'Games' was suggested by children playing spontaneously, children for whom the piano still means a toy. They experiment with it, caress it, attack it and run their fingers over it. They pile up seemingly disconnected sounds, and if this happens to arouse their musical instinct they look consciously for some of the harmonies found by chance and keep repeating them. Thus this series does not provide a tutor, nor does it simply stand as a collection of pieces. It is a possibility for experimenting and not for learning to play the piano.Pleasure in playing, the joy of movement - daring and if need be fast movement over the entire keyboard right from the firstlessons instead of clumsy groping for keys and the counting of rhythms - all these rather vague ideas lay at the outset of the creation of this collection. Playing - is just playing. It requires a great deal of freedom and initiative from the performer. On no account should the written image be taken seriously but the written image must be taken extremely seriously as regards the musical process, the quality of sound and silence. We should trust the picture of the printed notes and let is exert its influence upon us. The graphic picture conveys an idea about the arrangement in time of even the most free pieces. We should make use of all that we know and remember of free declamation, folk-music parlando-rubato, of Gregorian chant and of all that improvisational musical practice has ever brought forth.Let us tackle bravely even the most difficult task without being afraid of making mistakes: we should try to create valid proportions, unity and continuity out of the long and short values - just for our own pleasure!

This programmatic piece tells the biblical story of the fall of Jericho. The music paints a vivid picture of the procession of armed men and seven priests marching around the city for seven days, before blowing their trumpets and to the cheers of the crowds watching as the walls came tumbling down. A dazzling opening work for any concert.

In Trumpets of Jericho staat het Bijbelse verhaal over Jericho centraal. Zes dagen trokken gewapenden en priesters met de Ark rond de stad, gevolgd door het volk der Israëlieten, terwijl de priesters op ramshorens bliezen.Op dag zeven trok de stoet zeven maal rond de stad - en toen de priesters bij de zevende maal op de horens bliezen, stortten de stadsmuren in. Dit arrangement begint met een kleine trom en suggereert een optocht vanuit de verte. Steedsmeer instrumenten sluiten zich aan. Het groot koper, de middengroep en het slagwerk stellen de Israëlieten voor. De cornetten verklanken de gewapenden en de priesters met hun ramshorens.

Trumpets of Jericho ist ein programmatisches Stück über den Fall der Mauern von Jericho. Sieben Tage lang marschierte das Volk Israel schweigend um die Stadt herum, während die Priester in ihre Trompeten aus Widderhörnern bliesen, bis die Mauern schließlich einstürzten. Mit kleinen Trommeln und den Bass-, Tenor- und Altinstrumenten für den schweigsamen Marsch sowie Kornetten für die Priester und Soldaten wird die spannende biblische Erzählung in diesem Stück lebendig.

Trumpets of Jericho est une œuvre programme du compositeur et tromboniste uruguayen Enrique Crespo (1941). Jéricho est, selon le récit biblique, la première ville du pays de Canaan conquise par Josué et les Hébreux vers 1200 avant J.-C. Le livre de Josué relate la prise de Jéricho et comment, le septième jour - après avoir fait le tour de la cité en silence une fois pendant six jours - les murailles de la ville s'effondrèrent par la simple volonté divine après la procession, sept fois autour de la cité, de l'arche d'Alliance et de sept prêtres sonnant sept chofars (trompettes). La version musicale du récit est d’une grande intensité.

La version musicale du récit est d’une grande intensité : on entend la procession au loin(caisse claire). Conduits par Josué, les enfants d’Israël marchent vers Jéricho et commencent leur procession autour de la cité (cuivres graves, instruments des registres alto et ténor). Les cornets symbolisent les hommes armés et les sacrificateurs qui sonnaient des chofars.
