Saxpack

Saxpack was commissioned for the centenary of the Polizeimusik Wien (Vienna police orchestra). One of the most prolific saxophonists in all of Austria, Gert Kolaja, is a member of this professional orchestra. One of Otto M. Schwarz’s goals in his compositions for concert band is to continually develop and expand the genre. That is why Saxpack features a fully composed “crime scene”, complete with high-speed chases and experiencing “Vienna at night”. The work is composed in a very modern style, incorporating many contemporary saxophone techniques. As well as switching from alto to soprano saxophone, the piece offers ample opportunity to improvise. This is definitely a piece that saxophonists, band, and listeners will enjoy.

Nostradamus

Nostradamus was one of humankind’s greatest prophets. Many of his coded prophecies proved true. He lived at the time of the inquisition, and his predictions and medical therapies as a physician made him face consequences from the church. After he had been forced to flee several times and had lost his family to the plague, he devoted himself to clairvoyance. He wrote down many events in history in coded predictions. Although there is probably more than one possible way of interpretation, in our world, Nostradamus is still considered to be a unique personality. Whether he is degraded to a charlatan or turned into a myth, he surely has moved humankind with his prophecies. Otto M. Schwarz, soundtrack composer since 2001, wrote a cinematographic work about this man, who is probably the best-known prophet of the last 1000 years.

From Ancient Times : 5 Original Pieces for Saxophone Quartet

A composition in five movements that sound as if from a former age. They are in fact newly composed pieces but, stylistically speaking, are ‘historically accurate’. They can be performed separately or one after the other. The important thing is that the lead part at any point is given enough ‘space’ in terms of dynamics and overall balance. Old music, newly composed, at times cheerful and at others solemn, which create the very special charm of this composition.

Panorama : Act. II From the Sleeping Beauty - Ballet Suite, Op. 66 (Extracts)

Panorama from the Ballet "Sleeping Beauty“. Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's ballet suite "Sleeping Beauty" premiered in St. Petersburg in 1890. To this day, "Sleeping Beauty" remains one of the most popular ballets and is a staple in the classical ballet repertoire. The panorama from the 2nd act of the ballet suite depicts the joint journey of the young, enamored Prince Désiré with the Lilac Fairy through an enchanted forest to his beloved Aurora, whom he wishes to marry. Throughout this enchanting scene, a magical and mysterious music unfolds.

Regentropfen : Walzer

Carl Michael Ziehrer was an Austrian composer best known for his waltzes and marches. One of his lesser-known but still charming works is the "Regentropfen Walzer" ("Raindrop Waltz"). This waltz is characterized by its lively yet gentle melody, which musically reflects the falling raindrops. Ziehrer, who was active in the second half of the 19th century, managed to capture the delicate and ephemeral nature of rain in this piece. The "Regentropfen Walzer" invites the listener to dream and is a beautiful example of the lightness and elegance that characterizes Ziehrer's music.

Composers Dinner : 3 Original Pieces for Clarinet Quartet

Three works with quotations from well-known composers are contained in this tongue-in-cheek collection. Otto M. Schwarz has produced an outstanding recording of these works with members of the Slovak Philharmonic, which is available on all streaming and download platforms. 1. THE AMADEUS WATCH: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s own watch – if he had one – ticks away. The ticking carries us back in time with a piece that stylistically imitates the music of the 18th century in melody, harmony and rhythm. 2. COMPOSERS DINNER IN HEAVEN: At the music publisher De Haske, a composers’ dinner was an integral part of trade fairs or meetings. The dinner was very popular among anyone who sat at it, not least of all because it offered one the opportunity to chat informally. Based on such a meeting, Otto M. Schwarz has a composed a work that describes an imaginary dinner of great classical masters on a cloud in the sky. Guess which composers are present by the references in the form of musical quotations and stylistic devices! 3. SCHERZO FOR CLARINET QUARTET: The work, in 12/8 time, moves in a rapid furioso. Underscored by a continues eighth note rhythm, the work creates in the listener the sensation of a frantic rollercoaster ride. The theme moves throughout all the parts and, following a chromatically moving chord sequence, ends in a dramatic crescendo.

Brasserie : for Brass Quintet & Orchestra

The commission of the Pentaphonia Brass Quintet and the Haize Berriak Sakanako Musika Ekartea Concert Band from the Spanish Basque country was to write a piece for brass quintet and concert band. The work was conceived by Otto M Schwarz as a piece that moves through different styles in a manner similar to his concerto grosso. Thematic material is introduced by the quintet and then taken over by the band, and vice versa. Furthermore, the quintet doesn’t always play together, but rather often as a trio or just a duet. Virtuoso solo passages complete the work. Brasserie is one of the very few works of its type and is sure to find a permanent place is the symphonic wind music repertoire.
