Richard Strauss (born in Munich in 1864, died in Garmisch-Partenkirchen in 1949) is undoubtedly one of the most important composers of the late Romantic period. His works combine sophisticated harmonies with colourful instrumentation in an exemplary manner. With his symphonic poems such as \u2018Don Juan\u2019, \u2018Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks\u2019, \u2018Thus Spoke Zarathustra\u2019, \u2018An Alpine Symphony\u2019 and his operas such as \u2018The Knight of the Rose\u2019, \u2018Ariadne on Naxos\u2019, \u201cArabella\u201d, \u2018Capriccio\u2019, etc., he has created an extraordinary monument not only to himself but also to posterity. What makes the composer Richard Strauss particularly appealing, however, is the fact that he not only enriched all musical genres creatively, but also put numerous pieces of functional music to paper.<\/p>\n
Having written a whole series of pieces for large brass ensembles, such as \u2018Feierlicher Einzug der Ritter des Johanniterordens\u2019 (Solemn Entry of the Knights of the Order of St John), \u2018Wiener Philharmoniker Fanfare\u2019 (Vienna Philharmonic Fanfare), \u2018Festmusik der Stadt Wien\u2019 (Festive Music of the City of Vienna), \u2018Fanfare zur Er\u00f6ffnung der Musikwoche der Stadt Wien\u2019 (Fanfare for the Opening of the Music Week of the City of Vienna), etc., Richard Strauss is also highly regarded in the wind and brass music scene.<\/p>\n
To expand this very special repertoire a little further, South Tyrolean composer Gottfried Veit wrote this \u2018stylistic copy\u2019 in an instrumentation typical of Strauss for 4 trumpets, 4 trombones, 4 horns, a bass tuba and 4 timpani. This work, entitled \u2018Richard Strauss Music II (No. 2)\u2019, follows on from Gottfried Veit’s \u2018Richard Strauss Music\u2019 and aims to be nothing more and nothing less than a fitting tribute to the master Richard Strauss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
