The title Metamorphosis is on the one hand a metaphor for the development of the body and soul into a mature personality, and on the other hand it describes a musical transformation - a journey through musical styles and genres. Musiciansplaying this piece, which includes improvisational sections, also experience a transformation and development in themselves.Metamorphosis kan ook worden beschouwd als een proces dat begint met onze oorsprong (Initium), dat verdergaat via de ontwikkeling van lichaam en geest (Corpus, Animus), en dat ons aan de hand van ervaringen in het leven (Virtus, Invidia) doetontplooien tot een volwassen persoonlijkheid (Estasi). De muzikanten zullen tijdens het spelen een verandering in hun bewustzijn gewaarworden, waarbij ze een sterk besef ontwikkelen voor wat er is geweest en wat er zal zijn (het verleden en de toekomst). De improvisatiefragmenten zijn met opzet opengehouden (dus zonder notatie) om de speler de gelegenheid te geven zich vrij te bewegen binnen de betreffende muziekstijl – en zo zijn of haar fantasie vleugels te geven.Der Titel Metamorphosis ist einerseits im übertragenen Sinn zu verstehen, als Symbol für die Entwicklung von Körper und Seele zu einer gereiften Persönlichkeit. Andererseits beschreibt der Titel auch eine musikalische Verwandlung - eineReise durch musikalische Stile und Genres. Auch die Musiker werden beim Spielen dieses Stückes, das improvisatorische Abschnitte enthält, eine Verwandlung und Entwicklung durchlaufen.Le titre Metamorphosis décrit une transformation musicale - autrement dit, le processus qui commence avec nos origines (Initium), puis progresse travers l'évolution du corps et de l' me (Corpus, Animus) et enfin, gr ce l'expérience de la vie (Virtus, Invidia), se développe en une personnalité adulte (Estasi).Les musiciens connaîtront des états d'esprit changeants, entretenant la conscience de ce qui a été et de ce qui sera (le présent et l’avenir) tout en jouant. Les passages d’improvisation ont été délibérément laissés vierges –sans notation – afin de permettre à l’instrumentiste d’évoluer sans contraintes dans ce style musical et de laisser libre cours à son imagination.

Writing these arrangements, Frank Reinshagen has created little masterpieces, which broaden the rhythmical and harmonic context of the original tunes in an interesting manner without detracting from their archaic and melancholic character. These original tunes have been borrowed from the Irish, Scottish, and Gaelic musical tradition. These through-composed arrangements are rather easy to perform from the rhythmical and technical point of view. Yet, they are quite demanding in respect of the key they are written in, their intonation, and especially their interpretation. Their different instrumentations are fully compatible with each other and, due to their overall structure, they are also suitable to be played with multi-scored parts. The original of The Sons of Liberty is of a more recent date and goes back to the time when the King of England forced the Irish farmers' sons to go to war in America against their own fellow countrymen who were striving for freedom there. The arrangement conveys the impression of a vigorous forward motion created by a recurring and changing riff. Although it is written in a somewhat more difficult key (E minor), it is not too exacting from the technical point of view.

For this arrangement, the key D minor, which is one whole tone lower than the original, has been chosen to make sure that the piece is playable, especially for a clarinet quartet.

In writing these arrangements for clarinet quartet, Frank Reinshagen has created little masterpieces, which broaden the rhythmical and harmonic context of the original tunes in an interesting manner without detracting from their archaic and melancholic character. These original tunes are---in a direct or wider sense---of Celtic origin. In other words, they have been borrowed from the Irish, Scottish, and Gaelic musical tradition. These through-composed arrangements are rather easy to perform from the rhythmical and technical point of view. Yet, they are quite demanding in respect of the key they are written in, their intonation, and especially, their interpretation. Their different instrumentations are fully compatible with each other and, due to their overall structure, they are also suitable to be played with multi-scored parts. Annotation on Aignish on the Machair: The arrangement of Aignish on the Machair, Folksong from The Hebrides, illustrates, above all, the melancholic character inherent in the harmonies of the original tune. A short rubato passage is followed by several variations over the flowing melody in 3/4-time. The short triplet passages embedded in these variations are quite demanding from the technical point of view; considering the key they are written in, however, these passages are not too difficult to play.
