The Modal Column is a cycle of paired pieces for piano starting from the classical structure- prelude-fugue - used by Bach in Das wohltemperierte Klavier. The modes that are being used have a relatively simple octavizing structure hence an almost infinite variety of combinations that can generate a large number of pieces impossible to exhaust by a composer. Therein lies the idea of a column in the sense given by Brancusi i.e. an endless succession of modules. In the vision of the author the mechanism of the mode is a secondary (ancillary) aspect the primary goal is deciphering the ethos incorporated in it. The prelude-fugue structure hypostatizesthe musical discourse at the two possible extremes. free-constructed. While Romanian music rules in free areas like any old music with an (especially oral) tradition the constructed pieces start from Dutch (Flemish) or Venetian polyphony which precedes the idea of fugue understood as a technology of the movement (dynamics) of sound after the models of Giovanni Gabrieli or Ockeghem. The Modal Column is first of all the presentation of a melodic world but as the subtitle indicates also an investigation into the ethos of Romanian music. The forms in which the pieces are thought are simple non-ostentatious the whole cycle being in fact a musical workshop whose better parts may be worth including in ampler works. Before the succinct description of the six couples in Books I and II a few observations necessary from a musicological point of view: 1. The modes are rich in nostalgia with even graver nuances in the livelier movements. 2. It is well-known that all the columns - Egyptian obelisks ancient ornamental columns - have scenarios engraved on them. Trajan's Column describes the wars against the Dacians and their defeat. George Calinescu says 'Trajan's Column is beautiful but let us not forget that the Dacians are in chains on it.' The Romanian melos is millennia-old and was but little influenced by historical

The subject of this song is the power of love: Nemorino the main character of the opera sings the aria as he notices that his love potion is starting to take effect on his beloved.

Wer nur den lieben Gott lässt walten- Wer nur den lieben Gott lässt walten was composed by Georg Neumark in about 1641 and was subtitled ‘Trostlied’ literally meaning consolation song. Songbooks at the time showed the popularity of this song and it is still well-known today partly due to Johann Sebastian Bach’s use of the melody for one of his own chorals. In Jan de Haan’s arrangement the choral is heard twice once alternating with the original motif from the introduction and a second time without interruption reflecting the composer’s original intention - a song of consolation.

für Blockflöte-The author of this volume the outstanding Hungarian baroque flute and recorder player János Bali has undertaken no less than to provide a guide for bewildered recorder players –: teachers and students amateurs and professional musicians alike –: faced with the extremely intriguing but difficult question: How should baroque pieces be ornamented? The answers are given by contemporary musicians themselves –: the collection contains only contemporary ornaments (and richly ornamented pieces and movements) selected from the repertoire of the period between 1550 and 1760 that is from the late Renaissance through the various national styles of early and maturebaroque right up to rococo. In the score the original melody of each work or movement and several different ornamented versions of the same melody can be found one below the other thus the various possible modes of ornamentation can easily be compared. In the extremely valuable and informative introductory study Bali's 'A Baroque Ornamentation Tutor for Recorder' is an essential introduction for ornamenting music composed between 1550 and 1760. The text is provided in 4 languages: English German French and Hungarian.
