Programme notes *: The composition "Praise the Lord" for wind orchestra by Michel van Delft presents a powerful musical interpretation of the well-known chorale "Praise the Lord". This religiously inspired composition is characterised by its skilful fusion of traditional and modern elements, which make the piece an impressive and multi-layered work. The musical journey begins with a traditional introduction that immediately conveys the familiarity of the chorale "Praise the Lord" to the listener. This introductory passage serves as a bridge between the timeless melody of the chorale and the modern artistic vision of Michel van Delft. Here the foundations are laid and the listener is prepared for the musical exploration. The traditional introduction is followed by a modern coloured baroque arrangement. This creative synthesis of baroque elements and contemporary expression gives the composition a unique dimension. Van Delft skilfully plays with harmonic innovations and rhythmic diversity, giving the music a contemporary freshness without neglecting the roots of the traditional chorale. The climax of this composition manifests itself in the complete performance of the chorale "Praise the Lord". The transition to this section is seamless and symbolises the climax of the praise. Here the full splendour of the melody unfolds, supported by the powerful sonority of the wind orchestra. The harmonic richness and orchestral dynamics reinforce the solemn character of the chorale and offer the listener a moving musical experience. In "Praise the Lord", Michel van Delft succeeds in creating a harmonious link between tradition and innovation. The composition is characterised not only by its artistic sophistication, but also by its spiritual depth. Van Delft's musical interpretation of the chorale "Praise the Lord" becomes a powerful call to praise and reflects the timeless beauty of this religious theme in a modern and accessible way. "Praise the Lord" is thus not only a musical homage, but also an inspiring journey that invites listeners to praise the Lord in a contemporary artistic context. Quelle/Source: musicainfo.net (KI)
