Additional info/contents	The composition SARAVUS was commissioned for the 60th anniversary of the Saarland Music Association and is dedicated to the Symphonic Wind Orchestra St. Wendel and its conductor and my esteemed colleague and friend Mr. Stefan Barth. The term SARAVUS comes from Latin and means SAAR in German. It refers to the river of the same name, which finds its home in France as well as in Germany. The present work is a free adaptation of the melody composed in 1921 by the music teacher Karl Hogrebe from Saarbrücken, which forms the basis for the Saarland-Lied (or Saarlied) and is the official anthem of the Saarland. The basis for the composition SARAVUS (Saaravus) is the first eight bars of Hogrebe's melody, which are first presented in unison in the clarinets at the beginning of the composition and then undergo an increasingly complex (metamorphosis). The term metamorphosis, which comes from the Greek, means transformation, concretised to music, a transformation of a musical theme. This transformation occurs within a musical "flow" out of itself and without the intention of pursuing a programmatic content. The work thus presents absolute music and draws its musical inspiration from the underlying thematic material and the corresponding compositional continuation and processing.
