Programme notes: With percussion and low brass, with the trumpets flashing briefly, the tonal foundation for the following musical thoughts is first laid in striking chords. A gentle, lyrical melody, at first only in low brass (tenor horns, trombones), to which woodwinds and flugelhorns are gradually added, stands out from the underground mystical sounds of the low brass register, and thus a meditative section of particular atmospheric content is offered, as it were a reminder of inner preparation, a spiritual attunement for the following festive event, which is markedly introduced by the percussion. The trumpets introduce a cheerful theme, an idiosyncratic but extremely appealing tonal whole of baroque colour and modern rhythm. The lyrical melody now sounds - rhythmically tightened - in major. A secondary melody in the horns enriches the theme of festive joie de vivre, which is finally overlaid by the trumpet fanfare. The opening music in the brass registers is festively sublime and full of atmosphere. Transparent music-making and attention to the individual timbres of the orchestra's registers are necessary, but any good middle school band will be able to perform this work successfully, which represents an original and immensely high-quality enrichment of festive music.
