The enigmatic title of Roger Zare’s overture is an anagram of Zauberflöte — the work is based on Mozart’s The Magic Flute, breaking down themes from the opera’s overture as well as the Queen of the Night aria, and spinning them out of control. Zare’s charming and clever work includes an “Overt Metrical Fugue,†(a serendipitous anagram of Magic Flute Overture) using a subject that mashes up all of the disassembled Mozart motives. After the fugue runs its course, Zare quotes small but recognizable parts of the overture almost verbatim, but only from the players farthest away from the conductor to create a disembodied sound.This work is based on Mozart’s overture to The Magic Flute, breaking down the themes and motives from that overture as well as the famous Queen of the Night aria, “Der Hölle Rache,†and spinning them out of control. While the title seems to be nonsense, it is actually an anagram of “Zauberflöte.†I’m sure that Mozart would have appreciated the humor in this work, even though the harmonic language is quite far removed from the Classical era. The piece opens with repeated E-flats, suggesting the beginning of the main theme of the Magic Flute overture, and it gradually expands outward chromatically, creating gritty dissonances. Other borrowed motives from Mozart creep their way in, as well as complex polyrhythms on the repeated notes. I imitate the structure of Mozart’s overture by writing a fugue (subtitled “Overt Metrical Fugue,†a serendipitous anagram of Magic Flute Overture) using a subject that mashes up all of the disassembled Mozart motives. Gradually, I work in references to the excessively high coloratura part of “Der Hölle Rache,†treating it as a second subject. After the fugue runs its course, I quote small but recognizable parts of the overture almost verbatim, but only from the players farthest away from the conductor tocreate a disembodied sound.

De première van Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute) vond plaats in 1791. De held van het sprookjesachtige verhaal, Tamino, trotseert met behulp van de toverfluit verschillende gevaren op weg naar het licht. Tijdens zijnreis ontmoet hij Pamina, op wie hij verliefd wordt. Mozart componeerde de ouverture van deze opera twee dagen voor de eerste uitvoering. Ze begint met een adagio, gevolgd door een fuga-achtig allegro waarin het begin van het stukin herinnering wordt geroepen. Mozart op zijn best!Die Zauberflöte ist Mozarts letzte Oper und zugleich die populärste, heute noch am häufigsten gespielte. Sie wurde nicht wie die übrigen Opernwerke für ein Hoftheater, sondern als Auftragsarbeit für eine Vorstadtbühne komponiert. Quelle der Inspiration waren u. a. arabische Märchen. Die Ouvertüre schrieb Mozart erst zwei Tage vor der Uraufführung, was dem andauernden Erfolg der Oper keinen Abbruch tat. Gerard Posch setzte sie nun auf leicht spielbare, dem großen Meisterkomponisten dennoch würdige Weise für Blasorchester um.Inspiré d’un conte de fée oriental, l’opéra Die Zauberflöte relate l’histoire de Tamino qui, protégé des dangers par une fl te enchantée, traverse des épreuves difficiles avant d’être accepté par les forces de la Lumière. Au courant de son périple, il retrouve Pamina dont il tombe éperdument amoureux. Mozart a composé l’ouverture de son dernier opéra deux jours avant la première. Elle débute avec un adagio suivi d’un allegro écrit sous la forme d’une fugue. Le passage central développe successivement trois groupes d’accords qui rappellent les premières mesures de l’ouverture.
