Dear friends of the music and art of Ralf Christoph Kaiser, in the last few weeks I have been working harder on various brass ensemble pieces, which I now want to publish here one by one. I start with this piece: "Stormy Seas" in C-Minor. It's a very intense piece that comes across as poignant and powerful. Everything is there, hope and love, tension and drama, adventure and lust. You get this piece here with full score and parts for brass music. The party can include: tuba, trumpet notated in C, trombone, horn in F, violoncello and violins and double bass. Since chords often appear in the notes, you can bring each instrument almost 3 times and everyone takes on a different voice. Overall, the piece can be performed well with around 7-10 musicians. With this piece you will cause great astonishment in the audience, because it has such force and depth that no one can escape it. If you then interpret the notes a little more freely from the playing style, i.e. with fringing like a little crescendo in some places and swell and so on, then it becomes particularly impressive. I'm happy to present this piece to you today and thank you for your support! If you still need something of other parts, please contact me. Best regards your Ralf Christoph Kaiser
Dear friends of the music and sheet music of Ralf Christoph Kaiser, today there is a new classical EP that I am releasing. This includes 4 short pieces that can be performed by 8 musicians. The pieces are written for violoncello and brass. Either 4 cellos and 4 brass instruments can play together, or 2 cellos with double fingerings and 4 brass instruments and woodwinds. For the brass section, I thought of a tuba in bass and 3 trombones in C treble clef. Like the violoncello part, Woodwinds' voice is transposed only 2 octaves higher. With the Woodwinds, four flutes can be used instead of the cellos or in addition to the cellos, depending on how many musicians are available. The simplest small solution is a 4-piece trombone choir and 2 or 4 cellos.
The total playing time of all 4 pieces together is approximately 13 minutes. The individual works are between 2 and 4 minutes long. The works can be played one after the other or as a relaxing break between various other performances as an introduction or prelude.
All in all, these pieces are melodiously calm and carried and give great harmonic joy. These pieces would also go well with an Advent celebration in the run-up to Christmas.
Here are the works in detail:
1. You lay before me naked and sweet in G-Major 89 bpm Playing time: 2:07 min 2. Like a Swan in E-Major 136 bpm Playing time: 3:56 min 3. Its written in the Stars in G-Major 136 bpm Playing time: 2:255 4. It will come easy honey in fis-minor 89 bpm Playing time: 4:05 min
I have written all of these works in the last 4 weeks and tried to put the greatest possible joy and dedication into the music.
In my childhood and youth I loved the trombone choirs that were once played at the Advent Bazaar celebrations in the large foyer of the Free Waldorf School in Überlingen Rengoldshausen.
This solemn sound with pomp and pomp and at the same time loud and with reverberation in this large room has always impressed me very much. A beauty that is clear and concise but at the same time airy and sublime.
I have processed these impressions from back then in these pieces of this classic EP: You lay before me naket and sweet.“.
It is up to you whether the adored object of this title-giving piece is a quiet, mist-shrouded lake, as seen on the cover, or a loved one.
For me this music embodies a little bit of adoration and devoted love with inner contemplation in the depths of one's own soul with a peaceful mood.
Especially now in the Corona time, it may be particularly important to create happy moments for yourself in order to escape the virus and the restrictions in everyday life that are currently associated with it.
With this download package you get the 4 songs in high resolution audio loosless wav format, each with a small version without Woodwinds and in a big version with Woodwinds. In addition, an mp3 of each recording for the mobile phone and the sheet music as a full score full orchestra lead sheet and all parts individually for: cello, trombone choir Brass and Woodwinds.s.
As a treat on top you get 4 very nice atmospheric November photos with autumn fog from me as visuals.
Here is a short poem dated 11/10/2020 that goes with the title photo on the cover:
The boat lies still at anchor I am grateful for today The mist lies low over the lake I understand myself again in my deepest soul The mood is calm and beautiful I make up within myself In the beyond my music sounds The happy being here is indulged
Dear friends of the music of Ralf Christoph Kaiser, today I would like to present you a brass music orchestra piece that has it all. It says: "With a little love and fate we go through everything whats coming up" / With a little love and skill we go with each other. The piece is written in D major and is played with 89 beats per second. Here you get the sheet music with full score and parts for the following instruments:
1st trumpet in Bb 2. Drum kit and percussion 3. Flute 4. Soprano Saxophone 5th tenor saxophone 6. Tenor trombones 7th trumpet in A 8. Tuba and C brass
In addition to version 2 for wind music, I am also giving you version 1 for symphony orchestra and a version for only 4 musicians. You can play together: cello, drum kit, flute and tenor trombone. So here you get the sheet music for three different versions plus the high resolution audio file of version 1 with symphony orchestra and version 2 with wind music orchestra.
This work sounds worn and also a bit humorous. It oozes love and warmth of the heart. The brass music version builds a very nice sound that will be remembered for a long time and will live on within yourself. The cover shows a night shot of Lake Constance. I sat there and had a burger. I'm happy when the piece comes on stage.
Thanks for your support! Your Ralf Christoph Kaiser
PS: Here are a few lyrics that were written on the same day as this orchestral piece. There is the mood of October 19, 2020 again:
I pay homage to your saving hand with great love and a lot of understanding We love each other in this country and have the billions from the state On vacation we go along the beach and renew our love ribbon We fill the measure almost to the edge
