Tra nssylvanië is de oude naam voor de huidige regio Zevenburgen in Roemenië. Transylvania is de titel van deze suite met vier dansen uit de Balkan, waarvan de temperamentvolle muziek en variabele ritmiek beroemd is. Het werk begintmet een Vranje, een dans in een 9/8-maat, genoemd naar een stad in het noordoosten van Siberië. Vervolgens klinkt het Macedonische volkslied Aide Jano. Een dans met een zeer verfi jnde, melancholische melodie, die voortdurend ineen licht veranderde vorm herhaald wordt. Deze dans houdt zijn rust door een gelijkmatig, vloeiende 7/8-maat. De derde dans is een Biserka, een ritmische en licht swingende Servische dans in een gematigde driekwart. Tot slot de dansTransylvanian Joe, een romantische dans uit Zevenburgen. Deze dans begint langzaam, maar stijgt in tempo en dynamiek om tenslotte uit te monden in een luide, krachtige en virtuose fi nale.Transsylvani en ist die Heimat des berüchtigten Grafen Dracula und auch der Titel dieser Suite aus vier Tänzen aus dem Balkan, dessen Musik für ihre temperamentvolle und variable Rhythmik berühmt ist. Zuerst erklingt ein Vranje, ein serbischer Tanz im 9/8-Takt. Darauf folgt das mazedonische Volkslied Aide Jano mit einer sehr feinsinnigen, melancholischen Melodie, die fortlaufend in leicht veränderter Form wiederholt wird. Der dritte Tanz ist eine Biserka, ein serbischer Tanz im gemäßigten Dreiertakt, der trotz seiner relativen Gemächlichkeit betont rhythmisch und leicht beschwingt gespielt werden sollte. Zum Schluss erklingt der rumänische VolkstanzTransylvanian Joe, der sich in Tempo und Dynamik bis hin zu einem kraftvollen, virtuosen Finale steigert. La Transylvanie est surtout connue l'étranger par association avec le légendaire vampire Dracula. Dans cette région cachée au milieu de la Roumanie, les traditions rurales et les folklores roumains comme hongrois sont particulièrement vivants. Transylvania de Helmut Quakernack est une suite de quatre danses et airs de danse des Balkans (Vranje - Aide Jano - Biserka - Transylvanian Joe). La musique est gaie, virevoltante et pourtant pleine de mélancolie et de nostalgie. Difficile de résister au charme balkanique.

'Dances of Transylvania is the orchestral version of 'Sonatina' (1915). In Sonatina, Bartok had arranged Romanian instrumental (chiefly bagpipe) music. The three movements of the work, 'Bagpipers', 'Bear Dance' and 'Finale' comprise five melodies. Bartok explained that each of the two melodies of the first movement had been played by two pipers, the second by a peasant violinist using the lower strings of the instrument to reproduce the sounds of a bear, and the two melodies of the 'Finale' again by two violinists. In the orchestral version Bartok was out to reproduce the original sonority created by the peasants.' (HCD 32505 Bartok New Series Vol. 5, Virag Buky).

This is the first ever complete published edition of a major madrigal collection that is essential to our understanding of the fruitful interaction of Renaissance Italian and English music. In four, five and six voices, the 57 pieces of Musica Transalpina include 51 madrigals by Marenzio, Palestrina and others, the two parts of Byrd's 'La virginella', and four French chansons. Uniquely, the anthology also features singing translations of the original poems from the Italian into the vernacular, for which it was widely admired and circulated. As a printed source from which composers could learn the madrigal style and aesthetic, it was hugely influential in inspiring the 'golden age' of Tudor and Jacobean vocal music. An important addition to The English Madrigalists series, Musica Transalpina of 1588 is not only of great scholarly interest but is also an outstanding addition to the repertoire that will delight contemporary singers no less than it enthralled those Elizabethans who first responded with such enthusiasm to its fine music and accessible 'Englished' texts. Individual titles from this volume are available as Adobe PDF files...

The concerto takes the historical figure of the brutal impaler Vlad Tzepesch (1431-1476) as its starting point and subsequently develops the myth into an overwrought and gruesome piece of work: 1: 'Oderint dum metuant' is a raving Allegro with a Baroque ritornello structure and modern 'Draculisms'. 2: 'Luna su Tirgoviste' is a memoriam for the thousands of impaled victims who came to a violent end in today's Targoviste. 3: 'Il ballo transilvano' confronts a naive waltz rhythm with aggressive polyrhythmic reinterpretations - in the manner of the stick and the carrot. 4: 'Bacio di sangue' is Neo-Baroque horror music which has got out of hand, demanding extreme virtuosity from both soloists and ensemble.

This is a unique masterpiece for string quartet, which preserves the flavor of original music from Transylvania, carefully designed to suit the technical needs of the string quartet instruments. A sample of traditional Romanian music through which instrumentalists can show their virtuosity. This score is a smart choice for string quartets that want to be successful with the public. A short piece of 6 minutes, in a single movement, full of life in traditional rhythm from Transylvania, which is both pleasant to perform and to listen to. It is a perfect encore to be played after a successful concert.

The American girl group Fifth Harmony is featured in the fun, gothic style of this single from the animated film Hotel Transylvania 2. The “fright-rock” thump of the track makes this a sensational selection for a pop/show novelty or Halloween-themed concert.

The arranger of this work (a well-known Hungarian composer living in Romania) writes: This piece has always excited my imagination, from several points of view. First of all, its name. The German title, the obstinate one, may refer to its ostinato character. This is close to Liszt's programme concept, but the French word 'obstiné' is closer in meaning to stubborn. There is just a shade of difference, but to me it is important, because the latter suggests the description of a type of behaviour, the emotional state of a dancer's inner frame of mind abstracted into movements, expressed in dance movements, and this is a fascinating interpretation. The demonstration ofstubborn resistance and defiance to the point of exhaustion was not a frequently occurring phenomenon with Liszt. Secondly, at the beginning of the seventies Zoltán Kocsis played the piece in Transylvania. At that time, I asked the composer, Is the character of the continuous staccato in the left hand sharp, short, or an accompanying background like a constant shadow? Is it a weighty Brahmsian staccato, an ominous knocking? - and so on. Then there are the Bartókian false relations that keep recurring in the work, the B-E flat-G, etc. That foreshadows Debussy, creating harmonic thrills that, when I hear the work, keep my continuing interest alive for it. Finally, my immediate reason for arranging the work was of a family nature: in connection with Liszt's jubilee year, my daughter, who is a cellist, wanted a 'more energetic' piece to play at a bicentenary concert an addition to the existing slow, lyrical, or sombre works written by Liszt for the cello. The arranger of this work, the well-known Romania-based Hungarian composer Cs ky Boldizsár writes: This piece has always excited my imagination, from several points of view. First of all, its name. The German title, the obstinateone, may refer to its ostinato character, this is close to Liszt's programme concept, but the French word 'obstiné' is closer in meaning to stubborn.

Als erstes sein Name. Der deutsche Titel ‚Hartnäckiger' kann auf den ihm innewohnenden ostinativen Charakter hinweisen, was der Liszt'schen Programm-Konzeption näher kommt, das französische ,obstiné' steht jedoch eher dem Wort ‚dickköpfig' nah. Das sind nur geringfügige Unterschiede, mir ist das dennoch wichtig, weil aus Letzterem die Darstellung eines Verhaltens, der in Tanzgesten ausgedrückte, zur Bewegung abstrahierte innere emotionale Zustand eines Tänzers durchscheint, und das ist eine überaus beeindruckendeErklärung. Die Demonstration des bis zur Erschöpfung reichenden Trotzes, der störrischen Kraft erscheint bei Liszt selten. Der zweite Aspekt: Zu Beginn der 70er Jahre spielte bei uns Zoltán Kocsis das Stück. Schon damals (und seitdem) frage ich den Komponisten:.

Bagpipers is the first movement of the three-movement Sonatina composed in 1915 (1. Bagpipers, 2.Bear Dance and 3. Finale). The composer said of the piece, ''Originally I planned a group of Romanianfolk dances for piano. I selected three parts of this and called it Sonatina. The first movement, Bagpipers[...] consists of two dances played by two bagpipers.'' The piece is based on a couple dance fromTransylvania, the ardeleana (also known as the kanászos), while the middle section was inspired bythe bagpipe playing of a middle-aged man recorded by Bartók in Váncsfalva (now Oncesti) of Bihar County during February 1910. In 1931, Bartók arranged it for symphony orchestraunder the title Dances from Transylvania. This arrangement for oboe and piano was made by Liszt Prize-winningoboist Tibor Szeszler (1919 1992).
