Additional info/contents Der kalifornische Goldrausch begann am 24. Januar 1848, als James W. Marshall an Sutter's Mill in Coloma (Kalifornien) Gold fand. Unter Verwendung einzigartiger Kompositionstechniken und mehrerer Tambourine als »Pfannen« stellt David Shaffers Werk »Eureka« eine musikalische Beschreibung der Versuche der ersten Goldgräber dar, wie sie Gold aus dem Fluss waschen und erzählt von ihrem gefährlichen Ritt nach San Francisco, um ihre Ansprüche anzumelden. Die atemberaubende musikalische Aufregung und die einfache, aber raffinierte Inszenierung der Goldwäscher ergibt zusammen mit der historischen Bedeutung dieser Ära eine Komposition, die ein »Muss« für Ihr Konzertrepertoire ist. Dieses Werk ist ein mitreißendes Ende für jedes Programm und gleichermaßen geeignet für Konzert- und Wettbewerbsaufführungen.

The California Gold Rush began on January 24, 1848, when gold was discovered by James W. Marshall at Sutter's Mill, in Coloma, California. Using unique scoring techniques and multiple tambourines as 'pans,' 'Eureka' is David Shaffer's musical depiction of the first miners attempts at panning gold from the American River and their perilous trip by horseback to San Francisco to stake their claim. Breathtaking musical excitement, simple but clever staging of the 'panners' combined with the historical importance of that era will make this composition a must for your concert repertoire. Appropriate for festival, contest, and concert programs, this composition will make a rousing closer to any program.
