Description:
Triple Brew Concerto – A.L.E. is a work about what happens when musical
seriousness and human pleasure sit at the same table – and both
stay too long. The title is no coincidence: A.L.E. stands not only for the three movements of the
concerto (Aromatic – Lyrical – Electric), but also for that inspiring liquid
that inspires, moistens or at least justifies many an artistic idea.
Last but not least, it also honors Alexander Egger, whose commission this piece
was. The piece celebrates the trombone for what it really is: an instrument of sublime
dignity, unshakable self-confidence – and the constant danger of
taking oneself a little too seriously. "Triple Brew Concerto" is therefore a tongue-in-cheek
homage to the big tone, the deep sense and the unshakable desire to
be loud.
I. Aromatic – Maestoso
The first movement opens like the first sip of a freshly tapped thought.
With a broad gesture and pathetic self-confidence, the music rises to solemn
grandeur, as if it were about nothing less than the sound of the universe itself – or
at least the most beautiful moment in company after the concert.
II. Lyrical – Adagio
After the sonorous splendour of the first movement, what is
called the "second sip" in quiet moments follows: the silence. In this lyrical middle section, the music searches for
inner balance, for feeling, for the delicate aroma under the foam. The
trombone shows its sensitive side here – not that of the rehearsal room, but that of the late hour, when the light warms up and even the loudest horns
become sentimental for a moment.
III. Electric – Funk
Then comes what has to come: waking up, the beat, the reawakening
of the joy of life. The music ignites, pulsates, grooves. The third movement lives
from movement, rhythmic wit and sheer pleasure in exaggeration.
Nothing is explained here anymore – this is where people celebrate.
