There are two known manuscript sources for the present edition of this sinfonia avanti l'opera. In the Dean and Chapter Library of Durham Cathedral it appears as the twelfth, and last, piece in a collection of late seventeenth-century Italian instrumental music. No composer is given and identification was only possible following the discovery, in 1993, of a concordant source in the Biblioteca Estense, Modena, where the work appears as the sinfonia to Perti's opera L'Inganno scoperto per Vendetta, first performed in Venice as part of the 1690/1 season.It is sometimes hard to ascertain the original functional purpose behind many of the trumpet works written by composers of the Bolognese school as it would appear that some were used as sonate da chiesa, to celebrate mass in the basilica of San Petronio, Bologna, whilst also serving as operatic sinfonie. To confuse the issue further, there are several instances of composers 'borrowing' each other's works: for example, it has recently been discovered that the Torelli trumpet sinfonia a 4 catalogued as G4 in Giegling was used as the overture to Perti's opera Nerone fatto Cesare (1693). So far as the present edition is concerned, however, stylistic considerations would appear to confirm that the work is indeed by Perti and that it was originally conceived as the overture to L'Inganno scoperto per Vendetta. A couple of clues hint at a secular raison d'etre: the Durham source is marked Serenatto (presumably a corruption of serenata, a term often used in lieu of sinfonia) and the last movement of the Modena source is marked Menuet, a term more often associated with sonate da camera than with works of ecclesiastical provenance.Both the Modena and Durham sources for the present edition are virtually note-perfect and occasional inaccuracies were easily corrected by comparing the sources with each other and with the part-books in Durham. Whilst the Modena source lacks the second violin part in the outer movements it contains fuller dynamic markings and tempi indications than the Durham source and these have been followed in the present edition with no editorial additions. Notation has been modernised and, in the piano reduction edition, right-hand arpeggio-figurations rendered more pianistic. Parts are provided for trumpet in D and B flat. I am grateful to the Dean and Chapter of Durham and to the Biblioteca Estense, Modena, for providing microfilm of the manuscripts. I should also record my thanks to Keith Wright for realising the figured-bass which appears in the full-score edition.Mark Latham, Brancepeth Castle, June 1997.

The Castle of Allymes, “castrum Alemorum”, located on a hill in the centre of the seigneury of Allymes (France) is an historic castle dating back to the fourteenth century, rebuilt in the sixteenth century and restored in the nineteenth. This piece evokes an image of the castle, its beautiful location within the surrounding landscape and its importance for the rural district of Ambérieu-en-Bugey. Combining beautiful melodies with rhythmical sections and modern sounds with passages in a renaissance style, this work of Jacob de Haan is an impressive musical challenge that is both fun to play as well as appealing for your audience: as you listen you can almost see the castlebefore your eyes.

Castrum Alemorum, gelegen op een heuvel in de seigneurie van Allymes (Frankrijk), is een 14e eeuws kasteel dat in de 16e eeuw is herbouwd en in de 19e eeuw is gerestaureerd. Het werk roept beelden op van het kasteel zelf en zijn prachtige omgeving; ook wordt het belang van het fort voor het landelijke district Ambérieu-en-Bugey erin onderstreept. Met een combinatie van fraaie melodieën, ritmische gedeelten en moderne klanken met passages in renaissancistische stijl, vormt dit werk van Jacob de Haan een muzikale uitdaging die zowel fijn is om te spelen als om naar te luisteren. Je ziet het kasteel bijna voor je!

Die imposante Burg von Allymes, Castrum Alemorum“, liegt majestätisch auf einem Hügel der Rhônes-Alpes Region im Osten Frankreichs. Dieses Stück erzählt von dieser Burg, der herrlichen Lage und an ihre Bedeutung für die Gegend. Jacob de Haankombiniert wunderschöne Melodien mit rhythmischen Abschnitten sowie moderne Klänge mit an die Renaissancemusik angelehnten Passagen. Diese musikalische Burgführung begeistert Musiker und Publikum gleichermaßen.

Le ch teau des Allymes, « castrum Alemorum », qui se dresse sur une colline au centre de la seigneurie d’Allymes (France) est un ancien ch teau fort du XIVe siècle, reb ti au XVIe siècle, et restauré depuis le XIXe. Cette œuvre évoque une image du ch teau, son bel emplacement dans le paysage et son importance pour la commune d'Ambérieu-en-Bugey. En combinant de magnifiques mélodies avec des sections rythmiques, et des sons modernes avec des passages dans le style de la renaissance, cette œuvre de Jacob de Haan est un défi musical impressionnant qui est aussi amusant jouer que séduisant pour votre public : pendant qu’on écoute, on peut même presque visualiser le ch teau.

Combinando assieme bellissime melodie con sezioni ritmiche, suoni moderni con passaggi in stile rinascimentale, questo lavoro di Jacob de Haan è una sfida musicale impressionante, divertente da suonare e attraente per il pubblico.

Translation s: engl. (H. und F. Comer), french (A. Ernst/P. Bruck) Place: Tristan's ship, King Mark's castle in Cornwall, Tristan's castle Characters: Tristan (tenor) - King Mark (bass) - Isolde (soprano) - Kurwenal (baritone) - Melot (tenor) - Brangane (mezzo-soprano) - Shephard (tenor) - Mate (baritone) - Voice of a young sailor (tenor)In 1856 pressing financial obligations forced Wagner to interrupt the composition of the Ring to work on Tristan und Isolde. He initially planned a work that was modest in its production and performance demands. The project was also given priority not least because of the prospect of the royalties which he would then receive. He once again turned to Breitkopf & Hartel for the performance material: 'Tristan und Isolde' is scheduled to be given its first performance at the end of this year. I still hope that it will take place in Karlsruhe under my guidance. Due to the celebrity that I have now acquired, I assume that a new and easily performable work of mine should be able to spread very quickly across the German stages in its first winter season. Wagner was wrong. although the publisher had spent a great deal of time and money in producing preliminary material, Wagner wrote to Breitkopf & Hartel from Munich in November 1864: The squalor of Germany's opera singers and the vile condition of its opera houses have so far dissuaded me from allowing a performance of 'Tristan und Isolde'. What I needed was an impassioned young monarch to restore my courage. Next spring you will hear about the work's premiere in Munich, and you will then hopefully become more confident about this publication.
