The Hornpipe is a typical Celtic solo dance traditionally danced and performed by English sailors. A sound often associated with the Hornpipe is that of the Bódhran an Irish drum made with a sheep’s skin head. John Nijs has taken great care in creating an authentic-sounding Hornpipe in which the Bódhran part is played by the tambourine but sounds just as good!

Aurora est le nom latin de la déesse de l’aube dans la mythologie grecque incarnant le commencement d’un jour nouveau. Dans beaucoup de cultures anciennes l’aube a un sens spirituel : la lumière du jour est victorieuse de l’obscurité de la nuit. Dans Aurora Thomas Doss donne une illustration des différentes façons de saluer les premières lueurs du jour selon les cultures et les civilisations. On entend notamment les gongs et les instruments de percussion mélodiques des moines d’Asie l’accueil passionné offert au lever du soleil dans le désert en Afrique les danses des premiers habitants du continent américain les Indiens rythmées par le battement des pieds sur lesol et l’activité industrieuse des cultures occidentales d’aujourd’hui où la dimension mystique de l’aube n’est pas perçue. Aurora reflète ces différentes atmosphères mais l’accent est placé plus particulièrement sur les sonorités orientales - la musique symbolise ainsi en premier lieu les pays du Levant.

Mozart composed the majority of his works for solo string instruments and orchestra during the years 1773 to 1779. Especially important in this context are the years 1773 and 1775 which witnessed the creation of the five concertos for Violin and orchestra as well as several single movements for the same scoring. The reasons for this flourish of activity in this domain lie partly in the fact that Mozart who still occupied the post of concertmaster to the Prince-Archbishop was either obliged or inspired to provide such works for special occasions during this long period spent in Salzburg. But another reason was certainly the possibility ofexperimenting with all the new compositional techniques acquired during his third trip to Italy and his stay of several months in Vienna from July to September 1773.
