Thanks to his multifaceted skills, Philipp Carl Hoffmann was able to accomplish something special at very different levels: He not only was a brilliant pianist and violist as well as a successful composer, but also found recognition as a scientist and went down in literature as a highly sensitive teacher. As a musician, he met some of the greatest composers of his time, Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, and witnessed the sale of Mozart's handwritten estate by his widow. Apart from that, he maintained friendly relations with Friedrich Theodor von Schubert, one of the most renowned astronomers in the early 19th century, and gained detailed insight into perhaps the most important period of fortepiano building in Vienna. Last but not least, we get to know him as a strong personality and a very helpful and warm-hearted person. GERMAN TEXT.

Minimalist patterns and finely woven sound structures create an attractive world of sound for two violins. Anno Schreier wrote the four miniatures as preliminary studies for his opera about the logician and computer scientist Alan Turing, who is today considered the most influential theorist of computer development. The pieces are suitable as a concert work but also as performance literature in instrumental lessons with advanced students.

Composer Philip Sparke has long been fascinated by history’s pioneers. In all fields of human activity, there has been someone with enormous vision who has made the first step into the unknown. Explorers have found new lands, doctors have discovered new medicines and scientists are pushing the bounds of technology ever further. But there was always one ‘pathfinder’, someone who was not afraid of the unknown, who dared to go one step further than anyone before him. The march is dedicated those pioneers who have risked everything for the sake of their vision.Pathfinders March - zu deutsch Pfadfindermarsch - wurde zu Ehren der Pioniere der Geschichte, wie Entdecker, Forscher und Mediziner, komponiert. Sie alle sind die so genannten Pfadfinder, die es als erste wagten, unerforschte Wege zu beschreiten. Der imponierende Marsch, der das Trompetenregister herausstreicht, bringt Glanz in jedes Repertoire und überzeugt sowohl Musiker als auch das Publikum. Philip Sparke est un grand passionné de l’histoire des pionniers. Dans tous les secteurs d’activité humaine, il y a eu un visionnaire qui a franchi le pas vers l’inconnu. Les explorateurs ont découvert de nouvelles terres, les médecins ont développé de nouveaux remèdes et les scientifiques repoussent sans cesse les limites de la technologie. Mais il y a toujours eu un pionnier, un être sans peur de l’inconnu, qui a osé franchir le pas supplémentaire que nul n’a osé franchir auparavant. Cette marche est dédiée ces pionniers qui ont tout risqué pour réaliser leur rêve.

A choir is one of the most wonderful gatherings of humanity that we can be a part of. Within every ensemble is a collection of budding or accomplished thinkers, dreamers, artists, athletes, entrepreneurs, philosophers, politicians, public servants, scientists, and more. Chances are good that there is enough thought power in your ensemble to solve most of the world's problems. But sometimes we are afraid to speak up.  We don't think our individual voice matters. Or we just assume we'll be drowned out by the louder voices that tend to get noticed first.This piece is about finding your voice: having the courage to speak up about the things on your heart and the things that can help make our world a better place.And so we must sing. The world needs your voice!—Mark Patterson.

Depicting futuristic travel, the music takes the audience to a time when matter is broken down, beamed across space, and then reassembled elsewhere. Your students and audience will agree with Einstein, who said, The greatest scientists are artists as well..
