Additional info/contents	When the heat has become very intense and invisible, it appears to be black. This composition is an attempt to set the apparent contrast "heat/black" to music, because Alkema likes fire and flames. Because he walks in the forest, he judges the fire danger of the trees and imagines how the wooden houses burn brightly. Wind instruments are especially good at setting the flames to music and with this piece the composer throws sparks into the powder keg and hopes that everything will go up in flames. After all, he only wanted to write a beautiful original work for wind orchestra.

Programme notes *: In the realm of music, where emotion and atmosphere intertwine, composer Alkema embarks on a unique journey with "Black Heat," a composition that seeks to capture the intense and invisible nature of extreme heat. This musical endeavor explores the paradoxical contrast between the searing intensity of heat and the seemingly dark, almost black, aspect it assumes. A Play of Elements: "Black Heat" delves into the fascination that composer Alkema holds for fire and flames. Drawing inspiration from the transformative power of heat, the composition becomes an artistic exploration of the interplay between the visible and the concealed, the scorching and the obscure. It echoes Alkema's experiences as he traverses the forest, assessing the latent danger of fire among the trees and envisioning the vibrant spectacle of wooden houses ablaze. Wind Instruments as Catalysts: In crafting this musical narrative, Alkema employs wind instruments as the primary vehicles for igniting the flames. The inherent qualities of wind instruments, with their ability to evoke both gentle breezes and tempestuous gales, find resonance in the composer's vision. The composition becomes a canvas where woodwinds, brass, and percussion collaborate to manifest the elements of fire and heat in a symphony of sound. Sparkling Dynamics: "Black Heat" is not merely a composition; it is an attempt to throw sparks into a metaphorical powder keg of musical expression. The dynamism and intensity of the piece reflect the unpredictability of fire, as it dances and flickers in its most vibrant moments. Alkema, like a pyromancer, kindles the sonic embers, hoping for an explosion of musical brilliance that mirrors the untamed beauty of a roaring fire. A Fiery Finale: As the composition progresses, the hope is for everything to go up in flames in a metaphorical blaze of creativity. What began as a desire to compose a beautiful original work for wind orchestra transforms into a sonic conflagration, with Alkema stoking the fires of artistic expression. Conclusion: "Black Heat" emerges as more than a musical composition; it is an immersive experience that seeks to translate the paradox of intense heat into the language of sound. With wind instruments as the conduits, Alkema navigates the realms of fire, danger, and the untamed beauty of nature, leaving the audience with a symphonic imprint of the invisible yet potent force of black heat.
