Neuausgabe des Buches „Das Rigilied“ von Alfred Leonz Gassmann. In kraftvoller Sprache beschreibt Gassmann die höchst spannende und abenteuerliche Entstehungsgeschichte dieses originellen Liedes und seiner zahlreichen Varianten – „eine kleine Volks-Oper in Miniaturform!“, so der Herausgeber und Initiator der Neuveröffentlichung John Wolf Brennan.

PAN 394 score with parts set

This work was inspired by the Princes’ House (Prinzenhaus) in Plön built in 1750. In the building’s two-storey ballroom, the Garden Hall, there is a richly stuccoed musicians’ balcony with period instruments. Sheet music is depicted on four of the nine panels on the balcony parapet. Many of the notes are unrecognisable, but one or two motifs can be made out clearly. These motifs are quoted in the four-movement “Prinzenhaus-Pastiche” for two recorders, timpani, guitar and strings. Excellent for school orchestras. Level of difficulty: easy.
