Programme notes *: The work describes a cave expedition in the Alps. The expedition begins with timpani and rapid movements in the clarinets. The first melody describes the mountain in which the cave is located. Horn and flute should spread a forest atmosphere. Fanfare-like elements point to the anticipation and the spirit of discovery. The melody quickly changes to a light motif. This part is a little quieter and is accompanied by changing eighth notes and triplet phrases, which illustrate the sparkle of the sun's rays between the branches of the tree. The mountain and the light motif now alternate ever faster. The louder and louder dynamics symbolize the ascent to the mountain. Quite abruptly this phase ends with a fermate. It's the first time you've seen the cave. The dark entrance seems threatening and a bit gloomy. Strange chord changes in the sheet metal spread uncertainty. A flute solo symbolizes a light, icy wind coming from the cave. Finally, the expedition begins. A recurring, rhythmic motif points to the steps into the unknown. Accents in percussion show that crampons and ice axes are used. The joint part indicates the many branches in the cave system. This section also uses echo effects. The tubular bells are supposed to spread a cathedral-like mood in which reverberation and darkness are essential elements. Finally, the expedition lands in a large room. Calm has returned. Wind chimes and glockenspiel are intended to illustrate the glitter of the ice. Stalagmites, stalactites and large ice formations create amazement. In the next section the way back will be set to music. The fugue melody sounds again, but in four-four time. Suddenly the light motive appears and from a distance the height exit can be seen. Foreign chord changes indicate that the light for the eye is unusual and dazzles. Finally you get back outdoors. The fanfare-like mountain motif sounds again, relieved and happy about the lasting impressions. In the last bars, the motif of the quiet cave part is heard several times in the sheet metal. This should show that the expedition leaves lasting impressions. Quelle/Source: OrchestralArt
