Description:
The Screamer, composed by Fred Jewell and arranged by Bertrand Moren, is an important work of the brilliant and energetic style of the early 20th century. Its lively, almost playful character and its pronounced sense of musical effect are impressive from the very first bars. The musical language is both direct and expressive and is characterized by striking dynamic contrasts and great rhythmic clarity. The compositional technique emphasizes a radiant virtuosity, carried by concise motifs and fast passages that immediately captivate the listener. Bertrand Moren's arrangement preserves the original spirit of the work while bringing freshness and transparency to today's performances. "The Screamer" also captivates with its verve and theatricality, unfolding music full of energy and vibrancy. As a work full of character, it is a highlight of the concert and combines tradition with effective expressiveness in a rousing style.
