Poul Ruders' Diferencias - on a beloved tune by J.S. Bach. Programme Note: 'Differencias' was an old Spanish naming of musical compositions dealing with various techniques involving theme and variation. In modern Spanish it simply means differences. It's a nice title however and as to the present piece a very fitting one indeed because I wrote it especially to The Elsinore Players for their South America-tour in 1981. Actually nothing happens to the clipping of wellknown Bach (the first four bars of the chorale: jesu Joy of Man's Desiring cantata No. 147) apart from the continuous changing of the succession-pattern of the 11 triplets and one duplet the latter ofwhich creates the recognizable 8/8 pattern amidst the flow of 9/8 spinnrad-rolling. To put it popularly I haven't included anything that Bach does not have in the book himself. In addition to that the unpredictable accents and various instrumental colours are the only means of differences. There are no modulations no tricky polyphony nothing but a long thoughtful tasting the beautiful piece of tune. Well of course the chorale itself enters the picture in the very last section but that is merely for me to have the pleasure of tossing it away again before it comes to a proper end. Finally I really do think that the Cage/Morgan poem quoted below is the most suitable prologue to 'Diferencias ' :14 variations on 14 words I have nothing to say and I am saying it and that is poetry (...)

Sixteen Tons is a country-folk song by Merle Travis (1917-1983). It was written in 1946 and immediately caused controversy as the lyrics were seen as potentially subversive. They dealt with the life and working conditions of American coal miners of the era who were often trapped in bonded labour hence the chorus: “You load sixteen tons and what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt.” The song shot to fame when it was recorded by Tennessee Ernie Ford (1919-1991) in 1955 as a B-side; it quickly became popular selling over 2 million copies and holding the No.1 position on both the Country Music and Pop charts. Sixteen Tons has been arranged for Piano Voice andGuitar. Sixteen Tons is a country-folk song by Merle Travis (1917-1983).
