Additional info/contents	André Waignein received order of this composition of the "Municipal Brass Band of Luxembourg-Bonnevoie". It is in the presence of the Grand-Duke Heir Henri that took place the first interpretation on January 24, 1998 with this orchestra, and with the composer as director. This work is a musical evocation describing this magnificent Luxembourgian region and her inhabitants. The overture evokes the serenity met in this region. An orchestrale development, as rhythmic as sound, propels the orchestra in a "military" atmosphere, putting in evidence all the registers of the orchestra. This tension is maintained until the general explosion of the whole. One cantilena appears in all the innocence. Gradually, the orchestration suppresses, until the exhaustion. The passage which follows represents the tempestuous events which took place through the ages. A spectacular cadence, by the clarinet or by the soprano saxophone, terminates this disorder. An ample and lyric theme reflects the generosity, which always played an important role. Then, having found some initial themes, the work ends in an atmosphere of enjoyment, developed in rich and eclectic one variety, which proves the sphere of influence of the sound colour of André Waignein.

Quelle/Source: CD-Covertext Luxembourg, a small but culturally rich country in the heart of Europe, has a remarkable musical history and culture. Despite its small size, Luxembourg has made significant contributions to the musical landscape of Europe and the world. From traditional folk songs to classical music and modern genres, Luxembourg's musical culture reflects its multicultural and dynamic identity. Luxembourg's musical roots date back to the Middle Ages, when church music and religious chants played a central role in cultural life. Gregorian chants and hymns shaped the musical landscape. Early music was heavily influenced by neighboring regions, especially France and Germany. In the 18th and 19th centuries, Luxembourg experienced a heyday of classical music. The country became a center for concerts and musical performances. Important European composers and musicians visited the country and contributed to enriching the musical culture. The establishment of the Luxembourg Conservatory in 1906 was an important milestone that contributed to the promotion of classical music and the training of musicians. Folk music has a long tradition in Luxembourg and is an important part of the cultural identity. Traditional Luxembourgish folk songs, often sung in the Luxembourgish language, tell stories of daily life, nature and love. These songs are still maintained today and performed at folk festivals and cultural events. Luxembourg has established itself as a center for jazz in recent decades. The "Blues'n Jazz Rallye", an annual jazz festival in Luxembourg City, attracts musicians and fans from all over the world. The country has also produced talented jazz musicians who have gained international recognition. The pop and rock scene in Luxembourg has grown in importance in recent decades. Local bands and artists such as "Romeo" and "Seed to Tree" have enjoyed success both nationally and internationally. The "Sonic Visions Music Conference & Festival" is another major event that brings together musicians and industry professionals and promotes the local music scene. Luxembourg has a variety of musical institutions that contribute to the promotion and development of music. The "Philharmonie Luxembourg", a renowned concert hall, offers a diverse program from classical music to contemporary performances. The "Rockhal", a large concert hall in Esch-sur-Alzette, is a major venue for pop and rock concerts. The state and various cultural organizations actively support musical education and the promotion of young talent. Music schools and conservatories across the country offer training opportunities for aspiring musicians. Luxembourg's musical culture is a reflection of its rich history and multicultural society. From traditional folk songs and classical music to modern genres such as jazz, pop and electronic, Luxembourg displays impressive musical diversity. The continuous support and promotion by state and private institutions as well as the passion and commitment of the musicians contribute to the fact that Luxembourg's musical culture continues to flourish and develop.
