The French composer Daniel François Esprit Auber (1782-1871) witnessed many important developments in the history of music ? from Luigi Cherubini to Richard Wagner. His extensive output consisted mainly of operas, but unfortunately today only two of these are still well known, including the comic opera Fra Diavolo. The story concerns Fra Diavolo, a famous Italian bandit and soldier from the late 18th and early 19th centuries, and is one of crime, lust and treachery. The overture has a classical structure and is filled with striking themes and motifs and has a particularly unusual introduction (for the time) with the snare drum taking the leading role!De Franse componist Daniel François Esprit Auber (1782-1871) heeft belangrijke ontwikkelingen in de muziekgeschiedenis meegemaakt: van Luigi Cherubini tot Richard Wagner. Zijn uitgebreide oeuvre bestaat voornamelijk uit opera’s, waarvaner nu nog maar twee bekend zijn, waaronder het komische werk Fra Diavolo. Het verhaal over Fra Diavolo, een beroemde Italiaanse roverhoofdman en soldaat, is er een van misdaad, begeerte en verraad. De ouverture heeft een klassiekeopbouw met opvallende thema’s en motieven en heeft een (voor die tijd) wel heel ongebruikelijke inleiding: de kleine trom speelt een solistische rol!Die Ouvertüre zu Aubers komischer Oper Fra Diavolo hat eine klassische Form mit leicht wieder erkennbaren Themen, klaren Bildern und deutlichen Motiven - sehr passend zu einer ebenfalls einprägsamen, turbulenten Handlung voll von Gerichtsvollziehern und Dieben! Unsentimentale, reizvolle Musik, die auch in der Transkription von Wil van der Beek das Publikum in ihren Bann ziehen wird! Daniel François Esprit Auber (Caen, 1782 ; Paris, 1871) a été témoin de tout un cycle de l’histoire de la musique, de Luigi Cherubini Richard Wagner. Son répertoire comporte essentiellement des opéras. Des quarante opéras qu’il a composés, seuls deux ont su résister aux vicissitudes du temps : La Muette de Portici (parfois nommée Masaniello) et Fra Diavolo. La Muette de Portici est un opéra révolutionnaire de nombreux égards ; la légende veut même que la représentation du 29 juin 1830, au Thé tre de la Monnaie de Bruxelles ait déclenché l’insurrection qui fut l’origine du mouvement révolutionnaire entraînant la séparation de la Belgique et de laHollande. L’opéra-comique Fra Diavolo se révèle par son intérêt musical, qui lui vaut d’être interprété de nos jours encore. Les nombreuses aventures du capitaine Fra Diavolo sont restées captivantes gr ce un langage musical attrayant, dénué de sentimentalité.L’ouverture Fra Diavolo est de structure classique. Les thèmes simples et débonnaires évoquent des images claires, et de nombreux appels et échos militaires nous rappellent que l’intrigue se développe au rythme des péripéties des brigands et des carabiniers ! L’introduction de l’ouverture est orchestrée de façon inhabituelle pour l’époque. La caisse claire tient le rôle principal.

Composer Modest Moussorgsky (1839-1881) came from the prosperous environment of Russian nobility. In 1865, after his officer’s education, he joined the guard’s regiment in St. Petersburg. Here he met a number of well-known colleague-composers, including Balakirev, Cui, Rimsky- Korsakov and Borodin. They strived to develop a “classical style†of composing while at the same time retaining a strong Russian influence. His opera Boris Godunov tells the tale of Boris, who with the support of the people, declared himself Tsar, but totally fell short of the role. The opera became popular in the re-orchestrated version produced by Rimsky-Korsakov in 1896. Tohru Takahashi has usedthe beautiful musical themes of this opera in Selections from Boris Godunov - a captivating work for concert band. Moussorgsky’s opera Boris Godunov - gebaseerd op het gelijknamige drama van Aleksandr Pushkin (waarin Boris Godunov zichzelf met steun van het volk uitroept tot tsaar, maar in deze rol compleet tekortschiet) - werd populairin de bewerking die Rimsky-Korsakov in 1896 maakte. De oorspronkelijke partituur van Moussorgsky staat echter vol originele vondsten en vooruitstrevende harmonische, melodische en instrumentale details. Tohru Takahashi gebruiktede prachtige muzikale thematiek van deze opera in Selections from Boris Godunov - een boeiend werk voor harmonieorkest.Sein Meisterwerk, die Oper Boris Godunow, schrieb Mussorgski auf der Grundlage des gleichnamigen Dramas von Alexander Puschkin.

Fascinated by the expressive power and spirit of the gypsy music from Hungary, Brahms used mainly traditional melodies in his Hungarian Dances as well as themes from compositions in similar musical styles. No. 5 and No. 6 are the most well-known of his Hungarian Dances and are popular as encores at the New Year’s Concert of the Vienna Philharmonic. Fasziniert von der Ausdruckskraft und Lebendigkeit der Zigeunermusik“ aus Ungarn, verwendete Brahms für die meisten seiner Ungarischen Tänze traditionelle Melodien und Themen aus Kompositionen in diesem Stil. Besonders die Tänze Nr. 5 und Nr. 6 sind heute noch weit über die Grenzen der klassischen Musik hinaus bekannt und beliebte Zugabenummern bei den Neujahrskonzerten der Wiener Philharmoniker. Johannes Brahms a composé ses Danses hongroises entre 1858 et 1869. Des vingt-et-une danses qu’il écrivit pour piano quatre mains, il n’en orchestra lui-même que quelques-unes ; les autres ayant été transcrites par d’autres compositeurs, dont Anton n Dvoøák. Fasciné par la puissance expressive et la fougue de la musique tzigane hongroise, Brahms lui emprunta quelques airs et mélodies, qu’il noua dans ses danses. Parmi les plus connues, on citera les Danses hongroises n° 5 & 6, magistralement arrangées pour Orchestre d’Harmonie par Tohru Takahashi.Aff ascinato dal grande potere espressivo e dallo spirito della musica gitana ungherese, nelle Danze Ungheresi Brahms utilizzò soprattutto melodie tradizionali e temi tratti da composizioni scritte in uno stile musicale simile. La numero 5 e 6 sono le Danze Ungheresi più note e sono spesso eseguite come bis nel Concerto di Capodanno dei Wiener Philarmoniker.
