Description:
As part of the year 2023 dedicated to Swiss wind orchestra literature, the Swiss Brass Band Association has commissioned Gauthier Dupertuis to write a new orchestration of the Overture in E flat major by Stephan Jaeggi. However, for the interpretation of this work with modern orchestras, an update of the instrumentation was necessary.
The orchestration proposed by Gauthier Dupertuis, who wanted to remain faithful to the original while meeting current idiomatic standards, will allow current orchestras to interpret this piece of classical-romantic inspiration.
Stephan Jaeggi was a composer and conductor and was born in 1903 as a member of a large family in Fulenbach (canton of Solothurn). He began playing the clarinet at the age of 13, studied music at the Basel Conservatory and graduated from the military music recruit school. After graduating, he was the conductor of several wind orchestras. In this, but also in the role of composer, Stephan Jaeggi was able to celebrate many successes. His early death in 1957 put an early end to Stephan Jaeggi's creative life. All the more reason for his work to live on today with unbroken power.
