Programme notes *: Hiroki Takahasi is a renowned Japanese composer who has made a name for himself through his versatile works for wind orchestra. Among his important compositions, the three-movement piece "Song of the Earth" stands out, which represents a captivating musical journey through nature. The first movement, the "Prelude", opens the piece with an atmosphere of expectation and wonder. Takahasi manages to capture the silence and vastness of nature by combining slow, soaring melodies with gentle harmonic shifts. The soundscape is characterized by calm string passages that gradually build to a majestic climax that prepares the listener for the musical adventures that follow. In the second movement, the "Song", a lyrical melody unfolds that celebrates the beauty and diversity of the natural world. Here, Takahasi uses a wide range of timbres and dynamics to highlight the different aspects of nature, from gentle flute tones that mimic the wind in the grass to powerful trumpet sounds that represent the sound of a waterfall. The melody develops organically, with motifs and themes moving throughout the band, creating a strong emotional resonance. The final movement, the "Dance", is a rousing and lively finale that expresses the energy and joy of life of nature. Takahasi draws on rhythmic figures and pulsating percussion to create a stirring dance that demands the full range of the orchestra. By using fast tempos and surprising harmonic turns, he manages to create a dynamic and captivating atmosphere that enthralls the listener until the last note.
