The three pieces From Jewish Life were composed by Swiss-American composer Ernest Bloch in 1924, the same year he took U.S. citizenship. Though clearly inspired and influenced by Jewish experience, they are purely concert pieces, and do not provide any specific liturgical significance.

The first movement, Prayer, is a deeply heartfelt plea to the almighty. As Neil W Levin writes, The initial four-note motive in the minor mode, together with its elaboration in the ensuing phrases, sounds as if it might have served as the skeletal model for Max Janowski's (1912-1991) now well-known setting of the High Holyday prayer Avinu Malkenu. This prayer has special meaning in my own spiritual life, as I have been singing it since my childhood. Both Prayer and Janowski's Avinu Malkenu are cantorial in nature, to be sung with heartfelt pathos.

The second movement, Supplication (the act of begging humbly), has more angst, almost a sense of urgency as a result of the rhythmic motor in the piano. The third movement, Jewish Song, evokes a quintessentially Eastern-European melancholy. Its falling motives with bent intonation might represent the pain of the Jewish experience.

The works were dedicated to Dutch-American cellist Hans Kindler, a highly influential musician of his time, and founder of the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington, D.C. Mr. Kindler was the soloist for the world premiere of Bloch's most celebrated work, Schelomo in 1917.

Though the popularity of Bloch's oeuvre has been dominated by works of Jewish connection, we should not forget that Bloch had many other stylistic periods, including Franco-Belgian, modal, serial, and even American folk. In 1927, he was awarded Musical America's composition prize in a unanimous vote, despite being regarded as an outsider by American music writers at the time. His winning work America (1928) was performed by every major orchestra and conductor in the following seasons. May we be proud of his contributions to American music.

Als Fritz Wunderlich 1930 im nordpfalzischen Kusel geboren wurde, konnte niemand ahnen, dass einer der grossten Sanger des 20. Jahrhunderts das Licht der Welt erblickt hatte. Seine ungewohnliche musikalische Begabung, die schon fruh von seinen Eltern gefordert wurde, liess kaum einen Zweifel an seiner spateren Berufung aufkommen. Nach dem Gesangsstudium eroberte er innerhalb weniger Jahre die Opernhauser und Konzertsale Europas und wurde der bedeutendste deutschsprachige lyrische Tenor seiner Zeit. Zum 80. Geburtstag dieses viel zu fruh verstorbenen Sangers wird die erfolgreiche Biografie von Werner Pfister in Uberarbeitung neu als Taschenbuch aufgelegt. Es ist dank der objektiven, engagierten und kritischen Schilderungen noch immer das massgebende Werk zu Wunderlichs Leben.

The Baroque is a period of frills and ornaments, wether in architecture, painting or music. An easy melody passes through a variety of arrangements. From brass quintet and different tutti parts, all the sections are in action. Fortified by a drum set and an (optional) electric bass, the piece is given a modern touch and becomes more acceptable to the audience. A follow-up to Rondo Romantica, this piece was composed in December 1997.

De barok: een tijdperk van speelsheid in de architectuur, de schilderkunst en de muziek. In dit werk wordt een eenvoudig in het gehoor liggende melodie door veel verschillende arrangementen geleid. Van het koperkwintet tot enkele tuttidelen zijn alle secties in actie. Versterkt door de drumset en de basgitaar krijgt het stuk een moderne touch. Hierdoor wordt het extra aantrekkelijk voor het publiek!

In diesem fröhlichen Werk des österreichischen Komponisten Otto M. Schwarz kommt wirklich jede Instrumentengruppe Ihres Blasorchesters zum Zuge. Ein spielerisches Barock-Thema wird durch einen flotten Schlagzeug-Rhythmus unterlegt und wird somit zu einer swingenden Nummer für Ihr nächstes Konzert!

Le baroque : un style et une époque marqués par la légèreté qui a investi tous les domaines artistiques (architecture, peinture, musique, etc.). Dans ce morceau, la mélodie simple est jouée plusieurs fois dans des arrangements différents. Tous les pupitres sont sollicités afin que l’on entende aussi bien des tutti que des interventions du quintette de cuivres. La batterie et la guitare basse donnent au morceau une touche moderne très attrayante. Rondo Barocco, qui s’inscrit dans la lignée de Rondo Romantica, est une oeuvre adaptée aux orchestres juniors et aux formations plus expérimentées.

Il barocco: uno stile e un’epoca contraddistinti dalla leggerezza che ha infl uenzato tutti i campi artistici (architettura, pittura, musica, ecc.). In questo brano, la semplice melodia è eseguita a più riprese in diversi arrangiamenti. Tutte le sezioni della banda sono sollecitate per far sì che si possano ascoltare vari passaggi in tutti, ma anche degli interventi del quintetto di ottoni. La batteria e la chitarra apportano un tocco moderno ed accattivante. Rondo Barocco è un brano a sicuro effetto che delizier il pubblico.
