Daniel SPEER. Sonata No. 5. - PER GADE's INTERNATIONAL BRASS QUINTET. JAPAN 1982

Daniel SPEER (July 2, 1636 - Oct. 5, 1707). Sonata No. 5. - PER GADE's INTERNATIONAL BRASS QUINTET. JAPAN 1982

This recording was found recently. It is from a concert in Japan and was recorded on a cassette tape. No changes have been added to the recording, no notes has been replaced in digital re-mastering and all that digital magic and faking of being perfect. It is a "here and now" performance! What you hear is what you get. It is a live recording from a two hours concert: real life here and now!

ONE MOVEMENT ONLY:

DANIEL SPEER (1636 - 1707)
Born in Breslau (now Wroclau, Poland) the German speaking region called Silesia, Speer is best remembered today as a composer of some of the earlist music specifically written for the brass instruments.
Until recently this popular sonata was considered to be by a annonymeous composer as it was at first found in a collection of compositions called "Die Bënkelsängerlieder". It has now been recognized as a composition by Speer, discovered in a collection of six sonatas written for 5 brass (clarino trumpet & trombones) and entitled "Musicalish-Türchisher Eulen-Spigel.

The music has been rewritten for the modern Brass Quintet (2 trumpets, horn, trombone and tuba). - But the musicians are improvising in the repeats (when "a long musical line" is repeated). That was the tradition during the Baroque-period of music 400 years ago. Musicians were allowed to improvise, just like in jazz today, a practice which unfortunately has been forgotten in western classical music education after the romantic area. When young musicians get their music education today, they learn to read the written notes (like a typist reading a manuscript to copy) and learn somehow timeless style, but musical, but do not learn to improvisation in the correct historical style). One must study the old books and methods from that time where music was written. Per Gade did so! He says: ""Music is like a oil painting. One can not use colors and brush techniques as from todays painters like Picasso, if trying to copy a picture of Rembrandt. Then one must follow the rules and do the style according to time and described as right. The same in music, even today a classical musician must cover some 450 years music history in correct performance technique. We tried to do son, to be "as the original" to style as possible in our music performances, performed on modern musical instruments".

Professor Per Gade also told us the following, when we asked him:
- "This International Brass Quintet was the very first professional Brass Quintet in Japan, established in 1981. Each of the five members were very busy with their main jobs every day, in symphony orchestras, or as professors at Music Colleges/Academies, so we did not really have time for practicing together. So before each concert we held a serious meeting witha pot of coffee and sorted things out in a hurry, but in a highly professional way. Then a couple of hours before the concert, at the sound test, we took care of running through some important or difficult lines, all in a serious way. So what you have here is very much sight reading on the spot, in a live performance".
