Description:
Composed in April 2023. Client: "Steirische Ölspur"
The oil pumpkin made its home in Styria at the end of the 19th century. Pumpkin seed oil is pressed from the seeds, which are cleaned and roasted, using traditional methods. 2.5 to 3 kilograms of dried and roasted seeds are needed for one liter of pumpkin seed oil. That's a total of 30 to 40 pumpkins, which have to be processed by machine, but sometimes also by hand. It is not surprising that people talk about the green gold of Styria.
About the music:
In the first eight bars of the introductory music, we hear the signatures of the Styrian Oil Trail Communities, which lead directly into the opening bars of the march. The theme in the flugelhorns and tenor horns describes the Styrian spirit, the trumpets the positive energy of work, while the semiquaver runs in the flutes/oboes symbolize both the trickling of the harvested kernels and the flowing kernel oil. The famous "Hallelujah" by G. F. Handel is also quoted for the first time. From bar 36 onwards, the pure joie de vivre of the people of this region is expressed, and the trio then describes the intimate love for the beautiful landscape like a hymn. At the end, the "Hallelujah" by G. F. Händel is heard again - naturally, this stands for gratitude. Gratitude for everything beautiful and, of course, for the precious Styrian kernel oil, the green gold of Styria.
