Programme notes: *Carinthian Song Variations* by Josef Strobl: A multifaceted homage to Carinthian folk music Josef Strobl's composition "Carinthian Song Variations" is an artistic arrangement of well-known Carinthian folk songs, conceived specifically for two flugelhorns and a lower school wind orchestra. The work is divided into several variations, each reflecting a different musical character and mood. Each variation is based on a traditional Carinthian folk song and unfolds its melody in a varied form. The arrangement ranges from song-like, gentle passages to lively sections characterized by polka or march rhythms. This contrasting variety gives the work a dynamic structure and keeps the listener interested through varied soundscapes. The Role of the Solo Instruments The two flugelhorns play a central role within the composition. They perform both alternately and in dialogue, creating a fascinating musical exchange. The solo instruments lead the melodies, embellishing them with ornamental figures and adding expressive accents that accompany and complement the orchestra. This interaction creates a vibrant sonic fabric that impressively highlights the folk song theme. Relationship to Carinthian Folk Songs Josef Strobl succeeds in authentically capturing the essence of Carinthian folk music while simultaneously reinterpreting it through the variations. The composition honors the regional musical culture and makes it accessible to the lower-level wind orchestra without distorting the original melodies. The result is a work that is both tradition-conscious and innovative, making it particularly suitable for concert programming by wind bands seeking to enrich their programs with regional references and diverse music. The technical implementation and arrangement of the score are tailored to the instrumentation and performance level of lower-level wind orchestras. The score is clearly structured and offers easy-to-follow notation for both experienced musicians and beginners. This facilitates rehearsal and helps the various variations unfold their characteristics precisely. At the same time, the work challenges the performers' musical expressiveness through its rhythmic diversity and melodic subtleties, contributing to a successful and captivating concert performance. Josef Strobl's "Kärntnerlieder-Variationen" are distinguished by their musical diversity, the sophisticated integration of the flugelhorn solo parts, and the successful connection to Carinthian folk music. The work offers an attractive addition to wind orchestras and represents an ideal opportunity to present traditional melodies in a new, vibrant guise. Quelle/Source: musicainfo.net (KI)
