THIS WORK COMBINES THE HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE OPERA “CARMEN” BY G. BIZET. CARMEN GOT OFF TO A VERY POOR START, BUT TODAY IT IS ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR AND BELOVED OPERAS IN THE WORLD. THE “HABANERA” (BARS 21 - 66) IS, WITHOUT DOUBT, ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS OPERA MELODIES OF ALL TIME. THE FRENCHMAN BIZET SUCCEEDED IN GIVING A SPANISH TOUCH TO THIS OPERA. SYMPHONIE

BY ANTONIN DVORAK / ARR. BY WIL VAN DER BEEK THIS ALLEGRO IS THE FIRST MOVEMENT OF THIS WORK. DVORAK’S INTENTION WITH THIS COMPOSITION, DEDICATED TO HIS CHILDREN, WAS TO FURTHER DEVELOP THE MUSICAL TALENTS OF HIS DAUGHTER (PIANIST) AND SON (VIOLINIST). ITS DIFFICULTY IS THEREFORE NOT TOO HIGH; HOWEVER, IT IS FAR FROM BEING A “CHILDISH” COMPOSITION.

Andante Cantabile

BY CESAR FRANCK / ARR. BY DIANA MOLS

Ba L Ro

ARR. BY WIL VAN DER BEEK

THIS IS FOLK MUSIC FROM AUVERGNE (FRANCE), A PASTORAL SONG. WHEN LISTENING TO THIS PIECE, IT IS NOT DIFFICULT TO PICTURE A SHEPHERD TENDING HIS FLOCK, LEADING THEM TO THE BEST PASTURES, AND LOOKING FOR A REFRESHING BROOK. THE STARTING POINT FOR THIS ARRANGEMENT WAS THE ORCHESTRATION BY JOSEPH CANTELOUBE, A FRENCH COMPOSER AND FOLK MUSIC COLLECTOR (1879 – 1957).

BY PYOTR ILYICH TCHAIKOVSKY / ARR. BY WIL VAN DER BEEK AS A YOUNG COMPOSER, TSCHAIKOWSKY WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL WITH THIS STRING QUARTET AND WAS ADMIRED BY COLLEAGUES. ESPECIALLY THE 2ND PART, THIS ANDANTE CANTABILE, HAS BECOME VERY FAMOUS. IT IS MELANCHOLIC IN CHARACTER AND BASED ON A FOLK SONG.

Eine Kleine Schubertiade

BY FRANZ SCHUBERT / ARR. BY WIL VAN DER BEEK

A SCHUBERTIADE IS A GATHERING OF MUSICIANS AND POETS, DURING WHICH MUSICIANS AND POETS ARE RECITED JOINTLY AND INFORMALLY, OFTEN IN A DOMESTIC CIRCLE. FOR THIS SMALL SCHUBERTIADE, A CHOICE WAS MADE FROM THE EXCEPTIONALLY LARGE REPERTOIRE OF SCHUBERT (MORE THAN 1000 WORKS IN AN EXTREMELY SHORT LIFE!), FIRST AN ENTR’ACTE FROM “ROSAMUNDE”, THEN THE FAMOUS “STÄNDCHEN” (LEISE FLEHEN MEINE LIEDER) AND FINALLY A “MOMENT MUSICAL”.
