Sprinkled with a few twists and turns ample solo space and terrific ensemble writing throughout this is a real gem of a chart.

The year is 1566 and 2 400 Hungarians and Croatians are waging a hopelessly unbalanced war again Sultan Süleyman’s 100 000 strong army. The small garrison heroically resists the Sultan for as long as they can but in the end must surrender to his sheer numbers. After the dust settles word gets out that the Sultan is in fact no longer alive! The news was kept secret to preserve the troop’s morale.

Jan Moretus (1543-1610) was a book printer and publisher in his native city of Antwerp. He worked as assistant to his father-in-law the renowned master printer and publisher Christoffel Plantijn. After Plantijn’s death in 1589 Moretus took over the business.The composition Moretus consists of four parts that draw on the remarkable personality of Jan Moretus aswell as the printing business. In both the titles of the movements and the thematic structure we can see a certain symmetry: a playful allusion to the process of printing.Part 1 A Celebrated Gentleman describes the illustrious figure of Moretus in a festive chorale. In the second part ExpressiveImpressions the printing press itself is brought to life in repeated motifs - despite the industrial mechanical nature of the process the product always has an artistic and cultural dimension. In the third part Impressive Expression the wind band is invited (or challenged) to intone the slow theme with a poignant expressiveness. Part 4 A Gentle Celebration is a celebratory finale with a fresh theme.
