The Haunter of the Dark is based on a tale by the author Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937) about a deserted church where according to an old legend a monster had been lying low for years.A scientist who studies ancient religions visits this church. Besides some ancient writings he discovers a box which contains a luminous stone. Every time the stone sheds its light the scientist experiences all sorts of weird visions.The church in the tale actually exists and can be found in Providence (USA). Franco Cesarini has visited it and sketches the mysterious and occult atmosphere in 'The Haunter of the Dark'.

Electronic Music Design: Robin Meier Triades is a work in concertante form for solo double bass, an ensemble of twenty-one musicians and live electronics. This piece belongs to a larger cycle for double bass begun in 2013 with Nicolas Crosse, double bassist and soloist with the Ensemble Intercontemporain. The poetic universe of this project was taken directly from Solaris, Stanislas Lem's science fiction novel written in 1961. Solaris is a planet, that orbits around two suns, with a surface entirely covered by an ocean of protoplasmic matter, presenting an absolute enigma for the scientists who have been studying it for almost a century. The ocean creates gigantic formations on its surface that scholars have given names based on their shapes and distinctive features: Longus, Mimoids, Agilus, Vertebrides, Symetriades, Asymetriades... Triades follows in the continuity of these monstrous creatures endowed with phenomenal activity and prodigious dynamics surpassing anything imaginable by the human spirit. Every gesture made by the soloist, every timbre resulting from the heightened energy coming from the double bass, is related to a characteristic type of transformation. Digital software reacts to the soloist's physical actions on the instrument in real time. After electronic transformation, the sound is amplified through a large network of loudspeakers and subwoofers positioned in dome-form to surround the audience. This setting literally plunges the audience into a realistic experience of submersion. Triades is dedicated to both Nicolas Crosse and Robin Meier, without whom this sonic universe would never have been so amply developed.

The acclaimed movie The Theory of Everything is a poignant look at the life of renowned scientist Stephen Hawking. The accompanying award-winning soundtrack by Johann Johannsson beautifully sets the tone and mood for the film. Exploring avariety of scoring techniques and tonal colors here is a marvelous adaptation for the concert stage.

The international acknowledged Beethoven-scientist Jonathan Del Mar became engaged with the outstanding work cycle of chamber music Beethovens six string quartets opus 18. His new Bärenreiter-Urtext-Edition is not only based on

Noel' is based on the famous English Carol 'The First Noel'.

By Norman influences on the text with the result that the spelling of the song is not certified (Noel Nowell) an individual will sometimes claim that France is the cradle of this song but in general assumes that 'the First Noel 'for the first time somewhere in England sung.

Inspired by the illness experienced in the 1920s by scientists exploring the tomb of the boy-pharaoh Tutankhamun, Mike Story's work musically traces the history from the discovery of the tomb through the mysterious curse. Expertly scored, this delightful work will capture your students' imagination. Both intense and enjoyable, this work is highly recommended.
