Landscapes is a work structured around two main ideas. On the one hand, the music freely paints some of the superb landscapes I’ve seen during several of my trips around the world. Listeners should, however, not be influenced by this programmatic framework and are encouraged to build their own ‘mind pictures’.On the other hand, Landscapes constitutes a test piece for each section of the brass band. Indeed, each musical landscape highlights a particular register. A small group of soloists is given the opportunity to fully display its skills in dialogue with the rest of the band (the tutti), hence the name ‘concerto grosso’. Landscapes also relies on the band’s different soloistmusicians when it comes to express highly complex, musically and technically challenging passages.
Landscapes ist rund um zwei Hauptideen gegliedert: Einerseits reflektiert die Musik Landschaftseindrücke, die der Komponist während seiner Weltreisen gesammelt hat. Andererseits ist es das ideale Pflichtstück für Brass Band. Jedes Bild hebt in Form von Solopassagen ein bestimmtes Register hervor, immer wieder auch im Dialog mit der Band. Trotz hoher Komplexität sowie musikalischer und technischer Finessen, ist Landscapes durchweg sehr musikalisch und wird gerne gespielt und gehört werden.
