Program Notes

This work was originally written for brass band. At the composer's request, his former pupil Marcel Wengler wrote an arrangement for symphonic wind band, which is equal to the original in every way. Here Henze and Wengler have given wind players a work which successfully combines a popular style and to some extent extremely witty elements with the resources of new music. It is excellent concert music for advanced and professional orchestras.
