This work is based on Daniel Defoe�s world-famous 1719 novel and with broad brushstrokes typifies the hero�s life in four parts. The first part describes his life as a seaman. The second part is an impressive stormy description of the shipwreck he falls victim to. The next covers his happy life with his friend Friday which takes the form of a melodious hymn. Lastly the fourth part describes the tense confrontation with the Cannibals and his return home.

The colourful compelling starting theme forms the leitmotiv throughout this piece. It is followed by a very rhythmical part with a catchy melody that is literally and figuratively music to the ear. A slow almost meditative part follows with a beautiful alto saxophone solo that leads to an impressive chorale. The fast sections are once more repeated towards the end but in another form. A fantastic composition by Menno Bosgra!

I- Logos (reason)II- Pathos (emotion)III- Ethos (credibility)The ancient Greeks believed that music shaped the character of man. In Egyptian temples music was an essential part of the magical rites to alter the course of nature or to treat illness.And today we know that sound can actually alter matter. The secret of music lies in harmony and mathematics as many great musicians and experts have always known.One of the most important qualities of music is that it enables the listener to focushis attention inwards instead of on what is around him. It is indisputable that music can inspire emotion. Music leads us into a universe of emotions that are difficult to put into words. In short music reaches into corners of our soul and thoughtsthat words cannot reach and makes it possible to more clearly describe these different States of mind.The composer of this symphony also believes that each “musical argument” must be constructed so that it will induce the desired reaction in thelistener.Music: more than wordsIn recent times most orchestral symphonies have been based on a story a text or something similar so that their composition must be structured accordingly.The intention of this work by Teo Aparicio-Barberán is quitedifferent. The composer describes the three elements of the argument as the only formal structure of the work. Since certain philosophers in world history were able to subdivide grammatical argument why shouldnt that also be possible for the musicalargument?Since ancient times the power of the spoken word has captivated mankind. How can an argument move people and mobilise the masses? Where does the power of words come from today? The answer lays not so much in what people say but in how theysay it.Rhetoric is one of the oldest humanist disciplines in Western civilisation. Aristotle in the 4th century BC called it the art of persuasion. Indeed the terms rhetoric and persuasion are mutually interchangeable.More than 2000 years agoAristotle structured his rhetoric according to the following three elements: the logos the pathos and the ethos.Logos (words reason) is the reasoning that gives freedom to the structure of the text by expressing what one wishes to say usingspecialist terms. With logos we create arguments to receive public approval and to defend our ideas.Pathos the second element refers to the effective use of public psychology. Pathos can be considered as the capacity to induce the desired emotionalresponse in the public by creating an emotional connection with the public so that they accept our message.The third element ethos (credibility) refers to the character of the speaker and is perhaps the most important of the three elements.Aristotle based his concept of ethos upon his belief that truth and justice will always have the upper hand over anger. He believed that what was true and good was easier to prove and was more persuasive.This second orchestral symphony from thecomposer from Enguera follow

Frédéric Devreese is one of the most renowned composers in Belgium�s rich musical tapestry. As a tribute Beriato Music is making a CD box containing his most important orchestral pieces that have been adapted for wind bands. �Passage� is one of his most notable pieces from this collection. The unstoppable bass melody the effervescent phrasing and the continuous rhythms make this powerful piece a real experience!Here the french word passage refers to passage-work defined by the dictionary Le Grand Larousse as a rapid sequence of notes improvised or written within a musical phrase deigned to embellish the melody or stimulate the performer�svirtuosity.Passage proposes a theme followed by variations the final being the last variation. Rhythm virtuosity and mixtures of tone colours play an important part and ostinato tempi are used throughout.

The music of Temples evolved out of different sources of inspiration. The most impor-tant of them were four temples belonging to Angkor a group of temple ruins in Cambo-dia. These temples represent several centuries of Khmer history one of themost im-portant ancient cultures of South East Asia and are characterised by both Buddhist and Hindu influences. Furthermore four biblical text fragments from the Book of Eccle-siastes chapter 3 became more and more important during thecomposition process. Hence each of the four episodes of the work is related to a biblical text and an Angkor temple. Besides this architectural and spiritual imagery a purely musical structure underlies the whole piece namely a sequence ofintervals which has an architectural analogy in the height proportions of the main towers of Angkor Wat. My aim was to combine an ab-stract fabric of musical relationships with the sensual and emotional impact these tem-ples and their history made onme while visiting them.PHNOM BAKHENG… there is a time to be born and a time to die...The music at the beginning is inspired by the old temple Phnom Bakheng“ erected in the 9th century A.D. also referred to as first Angkor. It is conceived as atemple-mountain corresponding to the mythical mountain Meru home of the Gods according to Hindu belief. The music describes the awakening of life the variety of living beings the birth of human civilisation. Low seemingly undefined chords formthe soil out of which long melodic lines begin to emerge. After a gradual increase in speed a transi-tion leads to a lively episode characterised by bright colours and flourish-like gestures. Later on the music becomes overshadowed by darkercolours as if the sun was dis-appearing.BAYON... a time for war and a time for peace...Mysterious chords build up the scene for the entry of the trumpets and trombones placed off-stage near the audience and playing menacing signals withincreasing inten-sity. This dramatic episode depicts the war a consequence of the diversity between different people and cultures. The temple Bayon with its rugged skyline an architec-tural masterpiece dating from Angkors flowering period contains many war descrip-tions on sandstone reliefs leaving no doubts that the Khmer civilisation like many oth-ers was built upon a great deal of warfare.PREAH KHAN... a time to mourn and a time to dance...A sequence of huge chords marks theentry into the temple Preah Khan the Sacred Sword. This temple mysterious and partly overgrown by virgin forest was erected as a sanctuary in the 12th century A.D. on a battlefield. After the dramatic conflict of the second episode a dirgefollows some kind of procession. This ritual has a mournful nature at first but becomes more and more hopeful after a sudden shift of tonality and a calm solemn statement of the tenor horns. Later on reminiscences of the first epi-sode appear andlead to an increasingly joyful music.ANG
