Opera-RUDERS TYCHO SC (Opera) Poul Ruders ' opera Tycho in 3 Acts was premiered May 15 1987 by Aarhus Symphony Orchestra and Kaare Hansen (conductor) at Helsingor Theater in Aarhus Denmark. Libretto in Danish by Henrik Bjelke. Full score: WH31457 Synopsis: In 1597 the famous Danish astronomer and astrologist the nobleman Tycho Brahe flees his castle cum observatory Uraniburg on one of the small islands off the Danish coast. The newly coronated King Christian the Fourth has a grudge against Tycho who in 1572 discovered a new star Stella Nova by using his naked eye only; the telescopewasn't invented yet. This discovery gained Tycho tremendous fame among his contemporaries within the European scientific circles. The now weakened and embittered old man moves together with his wife Christina whom he raped when she was an adolescent and Jeppe the Dwarf his fool-servant whose life Tycho once saved to the plague-infested city of Prague. There at the Benatky Castle Tycho encounters the main reason for his departure from Denmark: the young German mathematician Johannes Kepler the only scientist among his contemporaries Tycho acknowledges - Tycho is in severe need of intelligent challenge. Which he gets and with a disastrous result for himself. The encouraging encounter with Kepler turns into Tycho's scientific and earthly death verdict. Slowly Tycho realizes that his own conception of the Earth as the indisputable axes of the Universe is shattered by Kepler s theory about Earth encircling the stationary Sun. The ancient picture of the Universe collapses Tycho feels deceived by Kepler who leaves the castle shaken by Tycho's wrath. But they meet again and reunite in a Romanza a Due at Tycho's death bed. The opera hovers above immense sadness and extreme ridicule - the cast is most peculiar indeed - so in many ways 'TYCHO' may be described at the best as a 'Tragic Operetta'

Soren Nils Eichberg's Symphony No. 2 - 'Before Heaven Before Earth' (2010). Commissioned by The Danish National Symphony Orchestra / DR. Parts are available on hire: hire@ewh.dk Programnote Symfoni nr. 2 er kronen pa vaerket af et helt vaerkkompleks som Soren Nils Eichberg har arbejdet med siden 2008. Pa et stipendieophold i Italien fik han sa mange idéer fra handen at selv ikke de tre vaerker han dengang var ved at komponere kunne udnytte dem alle. Stoffet blev brugt til dobbeltkoncerten til en opera og etorkestervaerk bestilt af det tyske Ensemble Modern. Og materialet lever videre i hans Symfoni nr. 2 der afslutter en naermest eksplosiv fase af kreativitet. Man behover ikke kende de tre andre vaerker for at fa udbytte af symfonien pointerer Soren Nils Eichberg. Det materiale som vaerkerne har til faelles fremtraeder da ogsa ogsa pa vidt forskellig made. I stykket til Ensemble Modern (In Circles) virker idéerne som rastlose og flygtige indfald mens de i Symfoni nr. 2 bliver anvendt pa en mere gennemarbejdet facon. Symfonien varer ca. 25 minutter og spilles i ét uafbrudt forlob. Alligevel er den opbygget efter klassisk model hvor man fornemmer en 1. sats en langsom sats og en finale undervejs. Det hele udspringer af to kontrasterende temaer der begge praesenteres to gange i begyndelsen. Det er et symfonisk princip der stammer helt tilbage fra symfonigenrens barndom. Dobbelt-praesentationen er saerlig nyttig i musik som lytterne ikke kender pa forhand. Symfoniens forste tema er en raekke akkorder der spilles af violiner og bratscher. Kontrasttemaet er en hurtig rytmisk basfigur som

Suite in memory J. S. Bach-As times go bye... is a title with several possible meanings. In one sense it is a nostalgic reference to the long period of time that has elapsed since the days of J. S. Bach. In another sense though it refers to the musical concept of time which is a principal element of this composition: As time goes by and Playing with time are taken as themes with each movement dealing with a particular aspect of time in conjunction with musical motifs from Bach's Well-tempered Clavichord.

Concert Piece after Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov- The popular Flight of the Bumblebee by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov is a welcome opportunity for every musician to demonstrate his or her technical skills. The Russian composer-pianist Alexander Rosenblatt composed a virtuoso Piano arrangement of the famous theme which moves masterfully back and forth between jazz and classical music thus being a 'cross-over' work: bebop (a jazz style from the 1940s and 1950s) is added to 'Bumblebee' which makes this work not only an amusing play on words ('Bumble-Bee-Bop') but also a virtuoso concert piece which ought to be enjoyable for both performers and listeners alike.
