Programme notes *: In a small village on the edge of a majestic mountain lived a brass band whose music gladdened the hearts of the people. But despite their success, the musicians felt a longing for something new, for undiscovered sounds that could enrich their melodies. The percussion register in particular felt this longing most intensely. One day they decided to go on a dangerous journey to find the hidden sounds of nature and incorporate them into their music. With courage and determination, they set out to explore the unknown. Their journey took them through dense forests, over steep paths and through raging rivers. But the musicians didn't give up. Her heart beat to the rhythm of her drums, and the cymbals sounded like a call to the wild. During their journey they experienced many dangers. Once they were surprised by a raging storm that threatened to blow away their instruments. Another time they encountered wild animals whose roars echoed through the night. But the musicians stuck together and didn't let themselves be distracted from their goal. Eventually they reached a remote mountain peak from which they had a sweeping view of the country. Here, high above the clouds, they found what they were looking for: the untouched sounds of nature. The sound of the wind, the murmuring of the streams and the singing of the birds filled the air with a melody that penetrated their hearts. They began to capture these sounds with their instruments and integrate them into their music. The drums beat like the throb of life, and the cymbals sounded like the cry of freedom. When the musicians finally returned to their village, they had not only found new sounds, but also a new connection with nature. Their music had become more vibrant and diverse, and people flocked to hear it. The percussion register's perilous journey had not only transformed her music but also touched her soul. Because they had learned that the true treasures are not to be found in distant lands, but in the depths of their own hearts and the nature that surrounds them.
