Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 914 Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)
Although Bach is one of the most well-known composers of all time, during his life time he was far less appreciated. His large output of compositions (at one time he was composing music for three different churches at the same time) was known only in the immediate areas where he worked. Bach didn’t become universally known until a century after his death, when Felix Mendolsohn rediscovered his music. One of the ways that a piece of music became popular during Bach’s time was through transcriptions. In keeping with the spirit of Bach’s time, this is a transcription of one Bach’s most popular pieces, originally for the organ.
Four Madrigals Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643)
Claudio Monteverdi started his music career as a singer in a boys’ choir in a cathedral in Cremona, Italy. Although he is remembered today primarily for his contributions to the vocal repertoire, including the opera Orfeo and eight books of madrigals, he was probably influenced by brass music.
Monteverdi was maestro di cappella at St Mark’s Cathedral in Venice, from 1613. This was the height of the golden age of brass playing in Renaissance, Italy, centred at St Mark’s with the organist and composer Giovanni Gabrieli.
Brass Quintet No 1 in B flat minor, Op 5 Viktor Ewald (1860-1935)
Although the Russian composer Viktor Ewald followed in his family tradition and became a professor at the Institute of Civil Engineering in St Petersburg, his love was always music. It was while playing the cello in a string quartet that he became friends with the composers Moussorgsky and Rimsky-Korsakov. Moussorgsky had been a military band leader and probably encouraged Ewald, who also played the horn, to compose for brass instruments.
The German tradition of brass playing migrated to Russia after Peter the Great brought German scientists and engineers to Russia in the 18th Century. Ewald is considered to be one of the most important composers for brass instruments and his four brass quintets are some of the most popular music in the repertoire.

Mini Overture Witold Lutoslawski (1913-1994)
Known internationally as a conductor of his own work, the Polish composer Witold Lutoslawski also enjoyed a career as a pianist. He taught and lectured on composition at Tanglewood, Dartmouth College and the Copenhagen Conservatory, and won numerous prizes for his work, ranging from the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde of Vienna to the International Koussevitsky Prize. Lutoslawski is perhaps best known for his ability to exercise creativity within a high level of discipline. Lutoslawski’s list of compositions include orchestral, vocal and chamber settings. Mini Overture was written and dedicated to Philip Jones, the founder of the Philip Jones Brass Ensemble in London, and his wife Ursula.
Angelic Visit Tang Lok-yin
Originally the main theme of the piece was about the three Chinese deities: Fu (happiness), Lo (rank) and Shou (longevity), who also encapsulate ordinary people’s life-long desires. While writing this piece the image of an angel suddenly flashed in my mind. So I came up with a new idea that the story was about a western angel who falls down within China’s boundary. There the western angel meets Fu, Lo and Shou and so begins the story of the Angelic Visit.
As in the story of the angel, the coming together of the different cultures is also well demonstrated with the three Chinese instruments performing with the brass quintet. Together they not only maintain their own distinct and strong sounds, but complement each other well in this dramatic musical encounter.
Programme notes provided by the composer
Composer Tang Lok-Yin received her Bachelor of Music Degree and the Professional Diploma of Music at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts in 2003 and 2004. Tang began her musical training at an early age with the piano and suona, and played in several Chinese youth orchestras. Since then her music has been performed by various orchestras and ensembles in Hong Kong and at international festivals.
In June 2001 Tang attended the IRCAM Summer Academy in France. She has been granted various scholarships and has studied at summer courses in Beijing, Dramstadt and Colorado.
Angelic Visit is commissioned by the 2005 Hong Kong Arts Festival with sponsorship from the CASH Music Fund. ᅥςʍଽ Programme Notes 23
Porgy and Bess Suite George Gershwin (1898-1937)
The American ‘Tin Pan Alley’ composer George Gershwin is one of the most memorable composers in music history. With songs like Someone to Watch Over Me and They Can’t Take That Away From Me to his credit, it is probably true that everyone has heard a Gershwin tune.
Gershwin’s first opera, Porgy and Bess, is considered to be one of the best, debut operas in history. It was groundbreaking in that the cast was all black; the setting was a ghetto in the Deep South during the slave era and the popular American song form replaced the European aria. The international popularity of Porgy and Bess was confirmed after a 1950’s world tour that featured the American soprano Leontyne Price as Bess.
