Storm of the Century-De nombreuses personnes se souviennent parfaitement du 18 janvier 2007. Ce jour-là les services météorologiques avaient lancé plusieurs bulletins d’alerte annonçant l’arrivée imminente de « la tempête du siècle ». Une dépression frontale venue de Terre-Neuve allait toucher l’Europe sous la forme de vents tempétueux particulièrement violents. Kyrill la pire des tempêtes depuis des décennies devait toucher terre en Allemagne dans l’après-midi. De nombreuses écoles furent fermées et les services d’urgence placés en état d’alerte maximale. Malgré ces précautions les événements qui suivirent dépassèrent de loin les plus sombres prévisions. Il y eut des morts des blessés etdes dégâts énormes dans toute l’Europe.La région du Sauerland en Rhénanie-du-Nord-Westphalie (Allemagne) fut particulièrement touchée par la tempête. Kyrill sema la désolation sur son passage laissant des dizaines de foyers sans toit et des forêts éventrées. La filière bois a vu les fruits de plusieurs décennies de travail anéantis en quelques heures. Des arbres vigoureux furent déracinés comme de vulgaires fétus de paille. Des forêts en ruines Si les vents tempétueux de Kyrill s’abattirent sur toute l’Europe ils dévastèrent la région allemande du Schmallenberger Sauerland comme nulle autre. Ce jour-là Otto M. Schwarz était chez lui en Autriche. Il assista au passage de la tempête mais ne prit véritablement conscience de ses conséquences dramatiques qu’à son arrivée à Bad Fredeburg (Sauerland) où il participait à une conférence organisée par le Volksmusikerbundes NRW (Association pour la promotion des musiques traditionnelles en Rhénanie-du-Nord-Westphalie). Ernst Willi Schulte le directeur de l’association lui montra alors l’étendue des dégâts sur le paysage de la région du Schmallenberger Sauerland. Force lui était de constater que la tempête qui avait balayé son Autriche natale était sans commune mesure avec la violence supportée par cette région allemande touchée de plein fouet par Kyrill.

Maï by Ryo Noda a Japanese composer is a unique piece of work for solo Saxophone that is strongly influenced by Japanese music. With some sonority supposed to be quite close to those of a koto and of a shakuhachi this piece is very technical and complex to play. The story behind this work is about the ghost of a Japanese Samurai. While his wife asks why he let her behind and left to fight in the war he tries to justify his choices. Most of the work depicts the struggle within the mind of the Samurai between ending his life and living in the end of his enemies. The screaming altissimo at the end is the climax of his strugglewhich then followed by a 10 second silence that represents his death. The technical abilities required are: large interval leaps rapid trills alternate fingerings to achieve pitch bending multiphonics altissimo portamento and cutting tone.
