Additional info/contents	The composition "Monumentum" by the Austrian composer Martin Scharnagl begins with a sublime, majestic theme framed by a constantly repeating, striding accompaniment rhythm. This film-musical introduction is followed by an elegant interlude that leads into a solemn chorale. In complete contrast to this, a dance-like allegro appears, characterised by the change of odd time signatures. Finally, the recapitulation appears in the guise of a pop ballad, which now lets the opening themes resound in a radiant major key. A short, lively coda ends the work. With "Monumentum", Martin Scharnagl succeeds in creating an exciting, entertaining overture that is equally suitable for concerts and competitions. With a great melodic sense and colourful harmonies, the young Austrian composer makes magnificent monuments and pompous buildings appear before the mind's eye, thus creating music that is sure to leave a lasting impression on its listeners.

Programme notes *: The term "monumentum" in music goes beyond the purely acoustic experience; he embodies a form of artistic expression that takes the listener on a journey through time and sublimity. "Monumentum" in music refers to works that possess a timeless quality that transcends the moment. These compositions create a musical memorial that is anchored in time and has the ability to transcend generations. Examples of this are symphonic masterpieces that leave a lasting impression due to their epic size and emotional depth. Music in the "Monumentum" style strives for sublimity. Large orchestral works, often accompanied by choirs, produce a tonal richness and power that grips the listener in its intensity. Through the use of wide dynamic ranges, majestic melodies and complex harmonies, a musical landscape is created that stands as a sonic monument to its greatness and splendor. Monumental music often manifests itself in epic compositions that use longer formats and complex structures. Such works can include multiple movements or sections that are interwoven, providing a musical journey of impressive depth and complexity. This structure gives the listener the feeling of being part of a narrative odyssey. The term "monumentum" in music is also closely linked to historical or cultural events. Composers use this form to pay tribute to important moments, personalities or eras. The musical representation of monuments can serve as a cultural reflection that conveys history and heritage in a moving way. Examples of "monumentalism" in music can be found in many genres and eras. Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, Mahler's symphonies, or contemporary works such as Hans Zimmer's epic film scores are masterpieces that capture the essence of this term. Even in rock music, works like Pink Floyd's "The Wall" or Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" are known as monuments of musical genius. “Monumentum” in music represents more than just the physical structures of monuments. It represents an artistic dimension that transcends time and has the ability to move people on an emotional and intellectual level. These sonic monuments remain preserved not only in musical history, but also in the collective memory of humanity as an expression of majesty and timeless beauty.
