RUNDEL-Pflichtstücke für die Wertungsspiele 2013/2014


Der Bayerische Blasmusikverband hat die Pflichtstücke für die Wertungsspiele 2013/2014 bekannt gegeben. Vom Musikverlag RUNDEL wurden für die Mittelstufe „Rapsodia Sajonia“ von Josef Bönisch, für die Oberstufe „Blue Hole“ von Thomas Asanger und für die Höchststufe „Arcus“ von Thiemo Kraas ausgewählt.

In „Rapsodia Sajonia“, einer Hommage an seine Heimat Sachsen, verknüpft Josef Bönisch (*1935) auf geschickte Weise zeitgemäße Rhythmik und Harmonik mit sinfonisch konventionellen Klängen. Das Werk wurde auf der CD „Arcus“ eingespielt.

Der junge Komponist Thomas Ansager (*1988) beschreibt in „Blue Hole“ das gleichnamige Unterwasser-Höhlensystem in Mittelamerika, dessen mysteriöse Anziehungskraft, die lauernde Gefahr des Abenteuers und die atemberaubende Schönheit dieses Naturschauspiels. Das mitreißende Konzertwerk ist das titelgebende Stück der neuen CD „Blue Hole“.

„Arcus“ ist ein musikalischer Tagtraum, in dem ein kleiner Junge mit seinem Himmelsschlitten eine rasante Fahrt auf dem Regenbogen erlebt. Thiemo Kraas (*1984) mischt Musik der Romantik mit modernen Einflüssen aus Jazz und Funk – ein interessantes Konzertwerk, so farbenreich wie der Regenbogen selbst. Eine Aufnahme ist auf der gleichnamigen neuen CD „Arcus“ zu hören.

Aus dem Jahr 2012 wurde „Norway Impressions“ von Alfred Bösendorfer für die Mittelstufe übernommen, das auf der CD „Fiskinatura“ eingespielt wurde.

Der Musikverlag RUNDEL ist immer bestrebt, spielbare und qualitativ hochwertige Blasorchesterwerke zu veröffentlichen. Wir freuen uns sehr über die Auswahl der RUNDEL-Stücke durch die Literatur-Kommission und hoffen, mit unserer Musik möglichst viele Blasorchester für die Wertungsspiele motivieren zu können.
