Programme notes *: The composition "Symphonie pour Orchestra d'Harmonie" by Ida Gotkovsky Ida Gotkovsky, a renowned French composer, has created an important work for top-level symphonic wind orchestras with her "Symphony pour Orchestra d'Harmonie". This two-movement symphony, consisting of "Lent" and "Final", demonstrates Gotkovsky's ability to express profound musical ideas and complex emotional content in a clear and powerful musical language. The composition is characterized by its sophisticated orchestration, rich harmony and dynamic contrasts. The composition consists of two movements, each of which makes an independent musical statement while together forming a coherent and captivating whole: 1. The first movement, "Lent", has an approximate duration of 8 minutes and 10 seconds. This movement is characterized by a slow and solemn atmosphere, rich in emotional depth and musical expressiveness. The movement begins with a calm and meditative introduction, in which gentle woodwind sounds and delicate textures play the main role. The music develops slowly, with subtle dynamic changes and harmonic modulations that create a profound and contemplative mood. Gotkovsky uses a wide range of harmonic colors to enhance the emotional intensity of the movement. Long drawn-out melodic lines, often in dialogue between different instrument groups, contribute to the creation of a lyrical and introspective soundscape. The orchestration is rich and detailed, with special attention paid to the balance and interplay of the various instruments. The woodwinds and brass merge into a homogeneous sound carpet, underlining the solemn and devotional nature of the movement. 2. The second movement, "Final", has an approximate duration of 11 minutes and 33 seconds. This movement is dynamic and energetic, a powerful contrast to the first movement. It begins with a lively and rhythmically accentuated passage that immediately creates an exciting and tense atmosphere. The music is characterized by fast tempos, striking rhythms, and dynamic changes. Gotkovsky develops several striking themes that recur in various variations and combinations throughout the movement. This thematic work gives the movement structure and coherence, while the constant changes and developments maintain the tension. The orchestration in the "Final" is brilliant and virtuosic, with extensive use of the full range of the wind orchestra. Brass fanfares, fast woodwind passages, and powerful percussion interludes contribute to the energetic and festive mood of the movement.
