This is a piece that has seen several iterations, originally composed for the Trance genre, then modified for string quartet and finally string orchestra. I was inspired by how human beings solve complex problems. Multiple thought processes occur at the same time, all independent, or sparked off each other. The individual may dwell on these patterns for a while until finally, a single voice emerges. This is the decision or the solution to the problem we seek. Human beings are amazing and will never cease to amaze me. In short, the human being is an enigma.

After giving in to massive pressure from state authorities in 1960 and finally becoming a member of the Communist Party, Shostakovich fell into a gloomy depression. His 8th String Quartet, composed in the same year, is interpreted as a deeply personal commentary on this. By contrast, his Symphony No.12, which was written around the same time and bears the subtitle “The Year 1917”, seems like a dutiful official statement with its October Revolution subject matter. Remarkable are the works recourse to the idealsof early communism and the omission of any references to contemporary times. In the West, the symphony was seen as pure propaganda music – but even back then, many listeners will have had an idea of what was hidden behind the shrill, tense jubilation.
This volume is part of the revised and corrected new edition of all 15 symphonies by Dmitri Shostakovich published by Boosey & Hawkes and Sikorski as large format study scores for optimal legibility. All scores and the related orchestral parts have been newly computer typeset, and the orchestral parts are also compatible for performance use with scores in “The New Collected Works of Dmitri Shostakovich”.

Situated in the northwest corner of modern Spain, Galicia is an autonomous region and distinct nationality under Spanish law. It was Celtic land for about 1000 years until it was incorporated into the Roman Empire in 19 BC. This carol reflects both the Celtic and Hispanic heritage of the Galician people. While the opening tune fairly resembles an Irish jig, the key change to minor and the accompaniment of castinets and tambourine displays the distinct Hispanic influence. Traditionally the tune is often played on the Galician gaita, the generic term for Spanish bagpipes, which has drone and chanter pipes like its Irish and Scottish cousins. This arrangement includes a part for optional tambourine and castanets which can be performed by a single percussionist. Careful consideration was taken in scoring interesting parts for all players and every instrument in the orchestra plays significant sections of the melody.

Commissioned by The Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival in celebration of its 50th Anniversary in 2023. The composer remarks that “this new quintet has no less than Mozart and his K452 as its starting point. To have an oboe, clarinet, horn, and bassoon with an accompanying piano is by no means a usual setup for chamber music. Beethoven wrote his own work inspired by Mozart's unusual ensemble, and now here I come to follow in their footsteps! The dialogue between the winds and the piano is one feature of this quintet, but what we have here is also like a miniature orchestra. And, on top of that, there are these four instruments in the wind section that act like a choir with soprano, alto, tenor, and bass.” Lindberg adds one more name from the canon of classical music as an influence: “I've been curious to explore why just two chords of Purcell are enough to immediately identify a piece of music by this master. So, by studying his use of harmony for many years now, I've come to solutions and key elements that can somehow work the same way they did in Purcell's music 400 years ago. One can say that I've spent my time composing chamber music in good company!”
