Additional info/contents	The Zillertal Suite consists of three continuous, through-composed movements. The suite lasts about 6 minutes and is ideally orchestrated for our wind orchestras. At the beginning, the highest mountain of the Zillertal main ridge, the Hochfeiler, is depicted with an imposing fanfare by the brass and percussion. The following gentle and calmly flowing section, in which the entire orchestra gradually becomes involved, describes the scenic beauty of the valley. Opening with a ringing of bells, one finds oneself in the small pilgrimage church of Maria Brettfall at the entrance to the Ziller Valley. The cantabile, tonally in E-flat major, forms the tonally beautiful, hymn-like middle section of this composition. And on it goes... with the Zillertalbahn. The waiting at the station, the start-up and the speedy journey of the steam train are described onomatopoeically. For the crowning finale - forming a summarising bracket, so to speak - the initial fanfare theme is heard again - this time in fortissimo with the entire orchestra. Apart from the nowadays obligatory orchestral apparatus, the two flugelhorn, tenor horn and baritone parts fulfil important functions. The horn part is in two voices, double reed instruments are not absolutely necessary.

Programme notes *: The Zillertal and its importance for music The Zillertal, one of the most famous and picturesque Alpine valleys in Tyrol, is not only characterized by its impressive landscape and tourism, but also by a deeply rooted musical culture. Music has played a central role in the Zillertal for centuries and reflects the way of life, tradition and history of the region. The Zillertal has achieved national fame, particularly in folk music, with its characteristic soundscape. Zillertal songs and melodies, often accompanied by accordion, zither and wind instruments, are an integral part of cultural life and are often played at festivals, processions and social events. In addition to folk music, the Zillertal has also found its place in the brass music scene. Many villages in the Zillertal have their own brass bands, which have a long tradition in the region and stand for community and cohesion. The landscape and nature of the Zillertal Valley continue to inspire composers to create works that musically interpret and capture this majestic setting. The "Zillertal Suite" by Andreas Waldner The "Zillertal Suite" by Andreas Waldner, a composition for intermediate wind orchestra, is a modern work that musically captures the beauty and uniqueness of the Zillertal Valley. The suite consists of three movements, each of which focuses on specific aspects of the Zillertal Valley: the imposing Hochfeiler, the mystical Maria Brettfall and the charming Zillertal Railway. 1st movement: Hochfeiler (Maestoso) The first movement of the suite, "Hochfeiler", is marked with the tempo marking "Maestoso", which means "sublime" or "majestic". At 3,510 meters, the Hochfeiler is the highest mountain in the Zillertal Alps and symbolizes the impressive natural power and grandeur of the valley. Waldner expresses this majestic presence through powerful and distinctive sounds. The movement begins with wide, melodic arches and a strong harmonic foundation that reflects the size and tranquility of the Hochfeiler. The music evokes the image of a mountain landscape that stands unshakably and majestically above the valley. 2nd movement: Maria Brettfall (Cantabile) The second movement, "Maria Brettfall," is labeled "Cantabile," which means "singing." Maria Brettfall is a picturesque waterfall in the Zillertal and has a mystical yet calming effect on the viewer. The music in this movement is lyrical and flowing, reflecting the soft, continuous movement of the water flowing over the rocks. Waldner composes a calm, melodic line here, underscored by warm harmonies to capture the peaceful atmosphere and beauty of the waterfall. The movement invites the listener to enjoy nature and immerse themselves in the peaceful and almost meditative mood of the Maria Brett Falls. 3rd Movement: Zillertalbahn (Vivo - Maestoso) The third and final movement, "Zillertalbahn", begins with the tempo marking "Vivo", meaning "lively", and closes with a "Maestoso". The Zillertalbahn, a historic narrow-gauge railway, is one of the region's most famous tourist attractions, connecting the valley with its residents and visitors in a charming and nostalgic way. Waldner captures the cheerful and exhilarating ride of the Zillertalbahn through the valley. The music is lively, rhythmic and dynamic, and one can almost imagine the locomotive steaming through the picturesque landscape and the sounds of the moving train flowing into the music. The Maestoso at the end of the movement recalls the magnificent backdrop in which this train journey is embedded and closes the suite with a majestic, final sound. The "Zillertal Suite" by Andreas Waldner is a musical homage to the Zillertal, which artistically represents the scenic diversity and beauty of the region. Each movement of the suite takes the listener on a journey through the valley, from the imposing peaks to the peaceful waterfalls to the living tradition of the Zillertal Railway. Waldner knows how to translate the characteristic features of the Zillertal into music, creating a work that appeals to both brass music fans and nature lovers alike. The composition testifies to the close connection between music and nature that makes the Zillertal so unique.
