Junge Musiker bekommen tosenden Applaus Nieberg
Young musicians get thunderous applause Nieberg
Nieberg – 18.12.16
“A majestically blaring prelude with the “Royal Fanfare” by Handel Cecilio created a “heraldic” courtly mood, so to speak, as an elevation to a musical level expectation, which was not disappointed by the young musicians from the cathedral city on the Aller at any time.” (http://www.kreiszeitung.de/lokales/nienburg/grafschaft-hoya-ort120424/junge-musiker-bekommen-tosenden-applaus-7131932.html)”

Bücken – By Horst Friedrichs. Royal concert sounds filled the high church walls on Friday evening in Bücken: The traditional Christmas concert of the Domgymnasium (DoG) Verden lured visitors in barely flocking crowds in the Advent-decorated collegiate church.
A majestically blaring prelude to the “Royal Fanfare” by Handel Cecilio created a “heraldic” courtly mood, as it were, as an elevation to a musical level expectation, which was never disappointed by the young musicians from the cathedral city on the Aller.
The various DoG formations, from the Sinfonia Piccola to a large choir and orchestra, offered the variety and instrumental skill that they are used to in the historic church of the market town.
The brass section of the Domgymnasiums-Orchester, under the direction of Justus Wahlers, had positioned themselves on the organ gallery of the collegiate church and from there, like “invisible” from higher spheres, let the razor-sharp brass sound of the “Royal Fanfare” into the last corner of the gothic-roman building. This work was written by the now 53-year-old Brazilian organist and composer Handel Cecilio for organ and trumpets and thus ultimately processed European influences on the organ music of his native country during the colonial era.
A counter accent was then provided by the small symphony of the Domgymnasium, ie Sinfonia Piccola. Under the direction of Sabine Boese, the young musicians Georg Friedrich Handel’s “Gavotte” began with a space-filling application to easily increase to amazingly powerful sonority. Their versatility was also demonstrated by “The Bringer of Joy” by Gustav Holst, the “Hungarian Dances” by Ferenc Farcas and the “Christmas Portrait” by John Cacavas. While the “little” symphonists still wore white blouses or shirts to the otherwise orchestral black, the following members of the big orchestra appeared in black.
Under the spirited direction of his conductor Wolfram Paulik, the orchestra shone with the “L’Arlésienne Suite”, a work by the French composer Georges Bizet. His “Carmen” is one of the most famous operas in the world. The orchestra of the Domgymnasium interpreted “L’Arlésienne” convincingly and with refreshing contrasts as well as sound symbioses – such as the perfect harmony of an alto saxophone with violins and cellos, the earthy basses and bass lines of the bassoon, in turn complemented by the alto saxophone, but also by the crystal clear, all overlying trumpets. Filigree “chirping” of violins and clarinets, for example, contributed to the radiance of the full brass insert. With correspondingly long applause the audience thanked the audience for the services offered.
With a full concertante balancing act the big choir and the orchestra waited afterwards. The choir and soloists Josina Lochmann and Rico Schulze, under the direction and accompaniment of Dr. med. Dietrich Steincke at the E-Piano, initially inspired with “Look at the World”. In the following piece, “May the Rise Rise to Meet You”, Victoria Stürmer sang the solo, again with piano accompaniment by Dietrich Steincke. The latter finally changed to Georg Philipp Telemann’s double-choir Christmas cantata “Praise God, you Christians alike” to the conductor’s podium. Singers and musicians harmonized perfectly and the audience enjoyed as soloists Benjamin Hohls (bass), Gebke Buchholz and Carolina Soppa (soprano) as well as in the final chorus Viktoria Stürmer (soprano) and Felix Mittermeier (tenor). The conclusion of the concert program was the “evening song” by Josef Rheinberger.
