In early 1729 Bach became director of the so-called »Scottish Collegium Musician« a music organization of students and local citizens. The remarkable results of this undertaking are the concertos for harpsichord. Today it is almost certain that practically all of these concertos were transcribed from concertos for melody instruments (mostly violin or oboe). BWV 1053 is the second piece in the autograph score of harpsichord concertos that Bach prepared in or around 1738 (Berlin Staatsbibliothek Mus. ms. Bach P 234). It was probably transcribed from a concerto for a solo woodwind instrument although opinions differ on the original key and instrument. Bach had alreadyreworked the original concerto in two church cantatas in the autumn of 1726 (BWV 49 and BWV 169) at which time he assigned the solo part to the organ. Perhaps the original concerto is not much older than these cantatas for the siciliano slow movement is closely related in expression to many numbers from his great Passion settings.

Concerto Dynamico is a sparkling work opening with a majestic introduction in which the whole band presents the main theme. The volume together with the broad melodic lines create a robust opening that leads to a dazzling allegro. Syncopated rhythms produce a cheerful note supported by the percussion. A charming andante follows in which various instrument groups play the main theme. In the succeeding moderato marziale the same theme can be heard as in the last allegro giocoso but with another rhythm. Concerto Dynamico ends with a shortened repeat of the slow middle movement.

Originally Cornfield Rock was written by Jacob de Haan as a version for male choir. It was based on a text by William Shakespeare on a melody of Thomas Morley (It was a lover and his lass). The original melody however was abandoned completely and in its place Jacob de Haan created a new one in rock style. The title refers to the text: That o’re the green corne fields did passe.

Fantasy on the canon Freu' dich des Lebens-L’année 2008 marque le 400e anniversaire de la fondation de la ville de Québec (1608-2008) au Canada. Pour célébrer cet événement la Musique des Voltigeurs de Québec une unité d’infanterie de la force terrestre des Forces canadiennes a fait appel au compositeur Philip Sparke pour l’écriture de deux œuvres de concert (disponibles sur un compact disc édité spécialement pour cette occasion). Philip Sparke a composé Sounds of the Saint Lawrence (Échos du Saint-Laurent) une suite de chants traditionnels québécois et cette fantaisie libre sur le canon Freu’ dich des Lebens de Ludwig van Beethoven. L’histoire de ce canon est absolument fascinante. En1822 Théodore Frédéric Molt un professeur auteur pianiste et organiste allemand - ancien soldat dans l'armée napoléonienne ayant combattu à Waterloo - arrive à Québec. En 1825 il retourne en Europe afin de parfaire sa formation. Au cours de son séjour il rend visite à Beethoven. Quelques jours plus tard il fait parvenir une lettre au compositeur sourd en incluant une feuille blanche sur laquelle il lui demande d'écrire « du fond de son grand cœur » un souvenir « qui restera pour moi à une distance qu'il me faudra presque 3000 heures pour parcourir un document éternellement précieux. »Beethoven accepte et le 16 décembre 1825 (jour de ses cinquante-cinq ans) il présente à Théodore Molt le canon Freu’ dich des Lebens Le manuscrit est actuellement conservé dans une collection canadienne. Beethoven’s Greeting (“La signature de Beethoven”) débute avec une introduction lente basée sur le canon. S’ensuit un Vivo qui sera repris ultérieurement sous la forme d’un déchant à la mélodie du canon. Le thème du canon est chanté par le chœur à quatre voix (SATB) optionnel (AMP 243-050) mais la mélodie est également présente dans l’orchestration.
