Programme notes: The Strudengau and the march composition "Durch den Strudengau" by Josef Wagner The so-called Strudengau stretches out in the heart of Austria - a region that is not only scenically attractive, but also culturally and musically significant. In this area, tradition and innovation have often gone hand in hand, which is also reflected in the brass music culture. An impressive example of this is the march composition "Durch den Strudengau" by Josef Wagner, which was written for wind orchestra. The term "Strudengau" refers to a historically and culturally influenced area in Austria, whose name symbolizes both geographical features and the dynamics of nature. "Strudel" suggests movement, whirlpool and power - characteristics that can also be felt in the landscape and in the attitude to life of the people here. The region, characterized by rolling hills, flowing waters and historic settlements, has always provided inspiration for artists and composers. In particular, the connection between nature, history and local folk culture forms the basis for a musical heritage that is repeatedly expressed in regional festivals and public concerts. Josef Wagner and the creation of “Durch den Strudengau” Josef Wagner, a composer deeply rooted in the Austrian musical tradition, found a source of inspiration in the Strudengau. With his march “Durch den Strudengau” he tries to capture the atmosphere and character of this special region. The composition, which was written for wind orchestra, is characterized by powerful rhythms, sharp wind sounds and dynamic melodic lines - musical images that recall the unstoppable flow of nature and the eventful history of the Strudengau. At the same time, Wagner's work reflects the pride and connection of the residents with their homeland. He succeeds in combining traditional elements with modern musical techniques, creating a piece that is both historically anchored and contemporary. The march composition uses typical wind orchestra instrumentation, in which the powerful trumpet and trombone sounds interact with softer woodwind voices - a sound world that reflects the diverse facets of the Strudengsu. "Through the Strudengau" is more than just a march - it is a musical portrait of a region characterized by movement, history and the force of nature. The striking rhythm figures symbolize the constant flow and the incessant dynamics of the landscape. At the same time, quiet, almost lyrical passages allow the listener to immerse themselves in the contemplative and traditional side of the region. This dual structure reflects the interplay between the force of nature and cultural continuity and makes the composition an ideal piece for wind orchestra music that can be played both in a festive mood and at a solemn memorial event. Wagner's musical language combines elements of folk music with the formal structure of a march. This gives the work an authentic character that honors the heritage of the Strudengau without losing any of its modernity. The interplay of the instruments creates a lively soundscape that takes the listener on a journey through the historical and natural beauties of the region.
