When you say Mascagni you immediately think of Cavalleria rusticana. This work brought Mascagni overnight fame after his wife - without him knowing - entered the score in a composition contest and it won first prize. Cavalleria rusticana became an incredible success overshadowing the premiere of his next opera L’Amico Fritz. L’Amico Fritz can still be considered a successful opera with its highlights being the ‘Cherry Duet’ and this intermezzo arranged by the Japanese Kimura.

Metalla was commissioned by the 'Kreisverband Altenkirchen' of Germany and dedicated to Ottomar Jung. The composer himself conducted the premiere of the piece which was performed by the 'Jugendorchester Kreisverband Altenkirchen' on 25 March 1999.The region of Altenkirchen is known for its iron mines which find musical expression in the dark mood of the introduction (andante misterioso). This effect is accomplished with overlapping seventh intervals orchestral crescendos a succession of broad chords and the presentation of most themes in the middle register of the band.The dynamic section (allegro energico) that follows the introduction is characterized by concise figures inthe brass and a second motif a kind of rippling motion depicting the Sieg River an important element in the landscape of the Altenkirchen region.The work closes with a final theme that returns a number of times albeit in different guises. After a brief repeat of the seventh intervals from the beginning a last radiant chord signals the end of the piece.

Recalls obviously refers to memories. This piece of music is in fact a series of flashbacks however it does not highlight the actual memories of specific thoughts people or events.The composition evolves around the late Frans Steurs who for manyyears was the inspirational artist behind the brass band that is currently commissioning this work. The main theme of the work is based on the name STEURS. E = mi U = do R = re and S = si which is Dutch for the note ti. This idea forms themusical theme for the entire composition and different variations are used throughout. The structure of the work is based on the concept of a story which father Steurs is telling his two daughters who play the flute and the clarinet. Each part ofthe work has a story-like character:1. Introduction: following a short ominous intro the main theme is presented for the first time.2. The Story: father Steurs has both his daughters on his knee and he tells them stories from the old days. Trumpetsand trombones play variations of the theme. The story gets very exciting (accelerande poco a poco agitato) until the tale takes a dramatic turn when the father tells an exciting story at the time of the Second World War. He tells of being hunteddown by the occupying army and these adventurous episodes are related to us musically in part3. Danger with its skilful references to vor dem Sturm from Eine Alpensinfonie by Richard Strauss.4. called Fugitives is about how he fled in the nightfrom the enemy and this is reflected in the bass tones of a new theme. The aggression of the war is illustrated from bar 117 onwards by a harsh brass section. The main theme is repeated once again and this time up-tempo. The second theme is broughtonce again from bar 149 onwards.5. Dialogues depicts the conversations between the two daughters and their father. Father speaks (bar 155); the daughters answer (bar 164 - flute bar 166 - clarinet); bar 178: father answers with the tune of the maintheme to the two daughters. The discussions gradually intensify but ultimately end in peace in the last part called Conclusion.The piece of music Recalls is a free interpretation by the composer who consulted the letters between the two daughtersof Steurs and their father and in this respect it is not really music for a programme.
