Programme notes:
The concert march "From the City of Songs" by Julius Fučík, arranged by Stefan Ebner
The concert march "From the City of Songs" by Julius Fučík, arranged for a modern wind band by Stefan Ebner, is a musical homage to Viennese song and wine tavern culture. Fučík, known as the "March King," created a connection between traditional march music and the vibrant Viennese folk song tradition with this work. Ebner's arrangement translates this musical tradition into a contemporary form, making it accessible to today's wind orchestras.
Musical Arrangement of the March
The march follows the classic form of a concert march, characterized by a catchy main theme and tight instrumentation. Stefan Ebner's modern arrangement takes into account the sonic possibilities of today's wind orchestras, emphasizing tonal diversity and dynamics. The use of woodwind and brass instruments is particularly striking, lending the work a vibrant and colorful sound palette. The march's rhythmic precision and melodic clarity underscore its concertante character.
The Viennese Songs in Trio
A key feature of the march is the inclusion of three well-known Viennese songs in the trio arrangement:
- "Wann der Hahn kraht in der Fruah" (When the rooster crows in the morning)
- "A so a Räuscherl" (A little sniffle)
- "Nur a Bier will i hab’n" (I just want a beer)
These songs are deeply rooted in Viennese folk music and reflect the convivial and joie de vivre of the Viennese people. In Ebner's arrangement, the melodies are not simply quoted, but rather harmonically and rhythmically integrated into the musical structure in such a way that they enrich the character of the march. The songs do not appear as mere interludes, but as an organic part of the trio, giving the work a distinctive Viennese flavor.
The Viennese way of life and the Heurigen culture
The choice of songs and their musical arrangement convey an authentic picture of the Viennese way of life. The Heurigen culture, a central part of Viennese everyday life, is symbolized by the songs "A so a Räuscherl" and "Nur a Bier will i hab’n." These pieces represent conviviality, coziness, and the enjoyment of the simple life—values that have always been cultivated in Viennese Heurigen. The march thus conveys not only musical but also cultural elements and creates a connection between traditional Viennese music and modern brass band practice.
Placement within the Viennese musical tradition
Julius Fučík, although of Czech origin, was strongly influenced by the Austrian march tradition. With "Aus der Liederstadt" (From the City of Songs), he connects to Viennese march music, which was shaped by composers such as Johann Strauss and Eduard Strauss. Stefan Ebner's arrangement continues this tradition and makes the work accessible to today's wind orchestras. It demonstrates how timeless melodies and cultural motifs can be reinterpreted through modern arrangements without losing their original charm.
The concert march "Aus der Liederstadt" (From the City of Songs) is a successful example of how traditional musical elements can be transformed into a modern form. By incorporating Viennese songs and emphasizing the Viennese way of life, the march becomes a cultural reflection of the city. Stefan Ebner's arrangement ensures that the work is enriching for both musicians and audiences, making the connection between past and present musically tangible.
