Programme notes *: The overture for wind orchestra "The Regifted Landscape" by Hubert Kross is a remarkable work that not only embodies musical beauty and virtuosity, but also conveys a profound message about nature and its preservation. The piece was composed as a commission for a landscape that has been changed and threatened by open-cast brown coal mining. It explores the themes of endangering and preserving nature in an impressive way. The overture begins with a lyrical theme introduced by the oboe. This melodic line conveys an atmosphere of beauty and tranquility that represents the original, untouched landscape. The gentle sounds of the oboe are picked up and further developed by other instruments in the wind orchestra. After the introduction of the lyrical theme, a change and transformation occurs that introduces the exciting intermediate part of the piece. The threats and changes to which the landscape is exposed are reflected here. The music increases in intensity as dissonant harmonies and energetic rhythms represent the increasing threat and loss of the natural environment. Over the course of the overture, the lyrical theme is developed and transformed in various variations. It heightens and changes as the music reflects the various aspects of the lost and threatened landscape. Despite the increasing tension and drama, the original theme remains present, sometimes hidden beneath the stormy sounds, but always emerging to emphasize the beauty and value of nature. Finally, the overture returns to a rediscovery of the lyrical theme. This section represents hope and efforts to preserve nature. The music returns to the gentle sounds of the oboe as the theme sounds in its purest form. It is a moment of renewal and consolation that symbolizes the possibility of a return to a harmonious and intact landscape. “The Regifted Landscape” is more than just a musical composition; it is an artistic reflection on humanity and its relationship with nature. By combining lyrical melodies, dramatic developments and emotional climaxes, the piece conveys a profound message about endangering and preserving the environment. Overall, Hubert Kross' overture "The Regifted Landscape" is a powerful and moving work that not only celebrates the beauty of nature, but also emphasizes the urgent need to protect and preserve it. It is a call to action and renewal that brings the importance of nature and its restoration into the minds of listeners.
