Additional info/contents	Pastoral Pictures consists of three movements, each characterised by a different mood. The first movement opens with a slow introduction, which beautifully expresses the solemn character that defines this section. In the second movement, poetic and dreamy soundscapes create a musical atmosphere of serenity. The composer devotes himself to the search for beauty. Everything is delicate and transparent. Melody, harmonies and counterpoint merge into a natural flow. A flowing melody develops delicately and lightly in the first bars of the third movement, tinged with picturesque sounds that reflect the cheerful mood of a rural market. A short, imposing interlude puts an end to the exuberant hustle and bustle and leads to a triumphant and moving finale.

Programme notes *: The term "Pastoral Pictures" unfolds an artistic dimension that captures the peaceful beauty of nature in various art forms. These depictions of rural life, lush landscapes and idyllic tranquillity have played an important role throughout the history of art and invite us to immerse ourselves in the harmony of nature. The origins of "Pastoral Pictures" can be traced back to antiquity, when the depiction of pastoral scenes flourished in the visual arts and literature. During the Renaissance, the genre gained popularity and became an important facet of landscape painting. Artists such as Giorgione and Titian created works that celebrated the beauty of nature and the simple life in the countryside. Pastoral paintings are often characterised by gentle, idyllic landscapes interspersed with peaceful scenes of rural life. Common motifs are wide fields, picturesque villages, shepherds with their flocks and a general atmosphere of tranquillity. These paintings are often infused with a warm, soft light that creates a harmonious connection to nature. "Pastoral Pictures" are not limited to painting, but can also be found in other art forms such as literature, music and film. In music, for example, pastoral motifs can be depicted through delicate melodies and harmonious soundscapes that evoke the stillness and peacefulness of nature. "Pastoral Pictures" embody a timeless homage to nature and the simplicity of rural life. These artistic representations have evolved in many ways throughout history and remain an inspirational source for artists wishing to capture the beauty and harmony of nature in their work. The term remains a cultural heritage that honours the connection between art and the majestic natural landscape. Quelle/Source: musicainfo.net (KI) Infromation: De Haske
