Canzona di Bacco - Oliver Waespi

This piece comprises a series of variations on the melody of "Ami, dans cette vie" ("Friend, in this life), an 18th century French song. Like the famous poem "Canzona di Bacco" by Lorenzo de' Medici, this song invites the listener to enjoy life, friendships, love and wine while there is still time to do so. The epicurean nature of this text contrasts with a deeply melancholic melody, a contradiction which is explored in the present work. After a somewhat turbulent first part, the original melody is revealed in a serene and pensive middle section which highlights several soloists. In the last movement, the atmosphere is transformed to become increasingly exuberant, like a Bacchus incantation. The piece concludes with a final dazzling statement of the original theme. Canzona di Bacco was commissioned by the Vesoul Municipal Wind Band, who premiered the work on 24 June 2022 at the Edwige Feuillre Theatre in Vesoul (France), under the direction of Mathieu Anguenot.

Canzone Antica - Stephen Bulla

CANZONE ANTICA translates as "ancient song". The dark mystery of the Middle Ages, from plainsong and cowled robes to shrouded medieval architecture, permeates a misty atmosphere as your band roams the catacombs in this powerful composition.Steeped in ancient history and opening with a short basso ostinato, this is a unique and significant work. Stephen Bulla masterfully weaves a tapestry of mystic percussion sounds, enigmatic harmonies that are sometimes open and sometimes dense, in a style which evokes ancient choral traditions.If your quest is a truly distinctive work for your next concert or contest, your crusade is at an end!
