Additional info/contents	The title refers to the composer's Saxon origins (Sajonia = Saxony) and is dominated by contemporary rhythm and harmony as well as symphonically conventional sounds. The introduction begins calmly and carried with a euphonium/baritone solo, the theme of which is subsequently taken over by the entire orchestra. In the following Allegro section, the main theme should be emphasised very strikingly in the various registers. The triplets in the wood can also be played alternately to increase precision. In Moderato (from bar 69) the second theme is first introduced by the clarinets and then continued by the whole orchestra. After a short transition in Allegro (from bar 86), this second theme returns again in the form of a reprise in a different tempo and key. The Rapsodia Sajonia by Josef Bönisch is brought to an effective conclusion with even more movement and a clever change of time signature (3/4 + 2/4 alternating).

Programme notes *: The term "Sajonia" is historically closely linked to the Kingdom of Saxony in Central Europe. Boasting a rich history, cultural contributions and political developments, this region has played an important role in Europe over the centuries. "Sajonia" refers to the historical territory of the Kingdom of Saxony, which has its origins in the early Middle Ages. The name is derived from the Saxons, a Germanic tribe that was based in the region. The Kingdom of Saxony stretched across parts of what is now Germany and Poland. In the 5th century, the Saxons settled in what is now northern Germany. During the Carolingian period, especially under Charlemagne, the Saxons were integrated into the Frankish rule. Saxony eventually became an important part of the Holy Roman Empire and played a significant role in the region's political developments. The Kingdom of Saxony experienced a period of prosperity in the Middle Ages, characterized by cultural contributions and economic prosperity. The Saxon School in the city of Quedlinburg, one of the oldest schools in Germany, bears witness to this cultural heyday. Saxon art and architecture, particularly in cities such as Dresden and Leipzig, left a lasting influence. The Reformation had a profound impact on Saxony. The Saxon Elector Frederick the Wise, a supporter of Martin Luther, played a key role in spreading Reformation ideas. However, the sectarian divide led to tensions and conflicts within the Kingdom of Saxony and the region. The Electorate of Saxony gained political importance in the 17th century and expanded its territory. Saxony played an active role in the Thirty Years' War and became a leading power in the Holy Roman Empire. Dresden, the capital of Saxony, became a cultural center with magnificent Baroque architecture. The 19th century brought challenges for the Kingdom of Saxony, including the Napoleonic Wars and political upheavals. In the 20th century, Saxony became part of the German Empire and later the German Democratic Republic (GDR) in the period after World War II. After the reunification of Germany in 1990, Saxony became a federal state again. Today, Saxony is known for its rich cultural heritage, historic cities and picturesque landscapes. Dresden with the Semperoper and the Frauenkirche as well as Leipzig as the city of music are popular travel destinations. The Ore Mountains and Saxon Switzerland offer nature lovers spectacular landscapes.
