An Emerald Jubilee celebrates a 40th anniversary. Jan de Haan composed this colourfully orchestrated concert march to celebrate Will van der Beek’s 40th anniversary as conductor of the Deutsche Musikverein Haaren. As publisher of van der Beek’s transcriptions of classical works Jan de Haan can look back on many years of successful collaboration with the knowledge that there will be many more to come. Unusually cast in a minor key, the main theme provides an interesting contrast to the more melodic major key of the second movement. The relatively slow theme gives this march a dignified stately and subdued quality.

Een veertigjarig jubileum? Dat is een smaragden jubileum! En zo ontstond de titel voor Emerald Jubilee, refererend aan het veertigjarige jubileum van Wil van der Beek als dirigent bij de Duitse muziekvereniging Haaren. Jande Haan componeerde deze kleurrijke mars. Als voormalig uitgever van de klassieke transcripties van Wil van der Beek kan Jan de Haan terugblikken op vele jaren van succesvolle samenwerking met deze componist. De ongewone toonsoortvan het hoofdthema in mineur en het melodische middendeel in majeur zorgen voor een fraai contrast, het relatief langzame thema verschaft de mars zijn grootse maar tevens behouden karakter.

Ein Emerald Jubilee“ - ein smaragdenes Jubiläum - wird zum Vierzigjährigen gefeiert. So komponierte Jan de Haan diesen klangfarbenreich orchestrierten Marsch zu Wil van der Beeks 40. Dirigenten-Jubiläum beim deutschen Musikverein Haaren. Als Herausgeber von Wil van der Beeks Transkriptionen klassischer Werke kann Jan de Haan auf eine lange erfolgreiche Zusammenarbeit mit ihm zurückblicken. Aus der Moll- Tonart in f-Moll des Hauptthemas und dem melodischen mittleren Satz in Dur ergibt sich ein schöner Kontrast; das relativ langsame Thema verleiht dem Marsch seinen erhabenen und gedämpften Charakter.

Pour célébrer les quarante ans de carrière (jubilé d’émeraude) de son confrère, Wil van der Beek, Jan de Haan a composé cette marche de concert l’orchestration colorée. Si, traditionnellement, les marches festives sont écrites dans une tonalité majeure, Jan de Haan s’est affranchi de cette logique pour installer son thème principal dans la tonalité de Fa mineur. Ce faisant, il obtient un charmant contraste avec le passage central mélodique, écrit dans une tonalité majeure. En choisissant un tempo relativement lent, l’œuvre prend une tournure majestueuse, parfois retenue.

Best known for his settings of spirituals and influence on Dvorák, Henry T. Burleigh was a celebrated baritone, and a prolific composer of original works. FROM THE SOUTHLAND is a suite of six atmospheric scenes of the American south, inspired by Black musical and cultural traditions. FROM THE SOUTHLAND is within reach of intermediate pianists and artistically suited for professional recitals.
In 1835, Henry T. Burleigh’s maternal grandfather purchased his own release from slavery for the sum of $50, and traveled north out of Maryland to begin a new life as a free man. He established his family in Ithaca, NY, and then moved to the bustling lakefront city of Erie, PA, where three decades later his grandson Henry would be born and raised.For Burleigh, the “Southland” that inspired this collection of piano sketches was a distant place that could not have been more different from the physical world he knew, up there in the northern snowbelt. And yet these southern landscapes and vignettes must have been intensely present in his consciousness, absorbed through the stories and songs he first learned at his grandfather’s knee.The music of the South – the spirituals and work songs he heard as a child –would travel with Burleigh throughout his long and illustrious musical life. Even as he progressed through his early classical training, his career as a baritone soloist in Erie’s churches and synagogue, his move to New York to study at the National Conservatory of Music, and his rise to national prominence as a concert soloist, these ancestral melodies stayed firmly centered in his musical identity.When he wrote From the Southland, his only composition for solo piano, Burleigh was just beginning his career as a composer. The art songs that would establish him as one of America’s best known composers in the genre were still to come. And so were his iconic arrangements of spirituals that would bring the songs of slavery onto concert stages around the world, transformed into timeless and uniquely American music.These little piano sketches bring together all the things that made Burleigh the musician he was – the lush, late-romantic style of his time; a broad vision for American music; and a profound respect for his heritage, a memory of the world his grandfather left behind, and a love of the music he brought with him.
