Description:
The music hour - Ensemble Time MZ 298 (brass quintet)
Everywhere in the music of Johannes Brahms (1833-1897), the cantabile theme speaks directly to people. It flows from within and is an expression of the composer's personality. In a letter to Clara Schumann, he expressed his entire being in one sentence: 'Calm in joy and calm in pain is the true human being; passions must soon pass away, or one must soon drive them away.' This fundamental attitude of Brahms is also expressed in the song 'Good evening, good night,' which he found in the collection 'The Boy's Magic Horn' and set to music in 1868. Its heartfelt simplicity quickly allowed it to become a folk song.
The Czech composer Pavel Staněk (1927-2025) took this theme from Johannes Brahms in his work for brass quintet and set it to music in his own unique and special way. The movingly delicate theme is passed from one voice to the next in the quintet. The voices seem to communicate with each other and listen to one another, entirely in line with the idea of a lullaby. The harmonic language is masterful, and the work is characterized by impressive musical depth. No one understands how to create an enormously diverse harmonic-instrumental framework like Staněk while always preserving the intimate character of the song.
