Programme notes *: Music in Moravia and Josef Jiskra's "Moravian Sketches" The Moravia region, located in what is now the Czech Republic, has a rich musical tradition characterized by folk music, regional dances and unique melodies. Josef Jiskra's composition "Moravian Sketches" for wind orchestra takes up this musical diversity and offers a sonic journey through the landscape and culture of Moravia. In this report we take a look at the music of Moravia and the artistic representation of this region in Jiskra's work. Moravia is known for its folkloric music, which is closely linked to the rural lifestyle and customs of the region. Traditional Moravian music includes a variety of instruments such as violins, clarinets, accordions and cymbals. Moravian dances are also characteristic, including the lively polka and the slow, melodic waltz. Josef Jiskra, a Czech composer and musician living in Germany, created “Moravian Sketches” as a musical homage to his native Moravia. This composition for wind band consists of several short movements that capture various aspects of Moravian culture and landscape. It contains melodic motifs and rhythms that are typical of Moravian folk music. The composition is not only a musical work, but also a cultural reminder of the history and traditions of Moravia. It contributes to keeping Moravian culture alive and making it accessible to a wide audience. Quelle/Source: musicainfo.net (KI) Information: Carpe Diem Mähren
