Mandorla (1998-2001)

Instrumentation: for soprano saxophone solo

'Mandorla' for soprano saxophone is a transcription of the identically named piano piece created in Sydney in 1998. Although some liberties have been taken with the saxophone version when compared to the version for piano, many characteristics of the original version have been preserved. The structure of the piece, based on the almond-shaped halo (mandorla), is largely determined by the (holy) numbers 3 and 7, complimented by the numbers 8 (mandorla) and 12 (total number of tones in the chromatic scale). A musical reference to the medieval mandorla form is found in the rapid, melodic phrases of the upper voice, which pertains to characteristics of the medieval two-voice spiritual song (organum).

The sounds and differences in articulation result from the use of different mouthpieces or reeds. Through the further use of a variety of playing techniques (tooth tone, high register, ff in the low register, different slaps etc.) they become the central focus of the piece itself.

d'accord(s) (2004)

Instrumentation: for 2 alto saxophones

The title has two meanings:
On one hand side, the material for the pitch is derived mainly from parallel chords which have been placed horizontally to build up the melodic lines. (d'accords = in the sense of originating from chords).
On the other hand side, there are textures where both instruments play consensually, in substantial accord, together. This leads up to (mostly fast) homorhythmical passages.

Small variations in playing technique and "plasticity" represent the chemical properties of each single element in one-bar 5/4 "portraits", which are linked to form a suspended tonal stream.

Tartarelischer Tanz I (1995)

Instrumentation: for contrabass saxophone (also baritone saxophone)

'Tartarelischer Tanz' comes from the Greek 'Tartaros' - the underworld where the souls of the dead repose in a happy and trouble less half state of being. Flittering 1/8 notes, only just audible as sound, build a spooky pulse which is animated in an irrational way by firmly pushed counter accents. (P.B.)

An Florestan und Eusebius (2010-2011)
Duos and trios

Instrumentation: for saxophone (soprano, baritone), trombone and piano

In December 2010, I held a lecture on polyphony in the music of Schumann. This event led me to perform the complete piano works by this composer, who has remained dear to me since childhood. My composing has been influenced on a subliminal level by Schuhmann's sound meshes and quirky-fantastical lines. I became accutely aware of this fact while working on my piece for the trio Weiss-Svoboda-Henneberger. Since the content of the three main pieces ("Rezitativ und Arioso" for trombone and piano, "Lied" for saxophone and piano as well as "Mit Leidenschaft" for the trio) turned out to be rather Schumannian, I decided to dedicate it to the two main characters of the circle of the Davidsbündler (League of David).

nel pomeriggio (2006)

Instrumentation: for baritone saxophone and string quartet

A comfortable afternoon in a dusty café: as in times past, a string quartet plays a waltz that nobody listens to, a never-ending, continuously repetitive violin melody and an almost imperceptibly shifting accompaniment. Added to this is a completely inappropriate baritone saxophone - sometimes blending in, sometimes detached and sometimes obstinately defiant. Suddenly a bang! And everything collapses into shadowy ruins.

12-06-07 (2007)

Instrumentation: for soprano, oboe, alto saxophone, horn and viola

A text about statistically the most frequent causes of death in Switzerland takes its course and is interspersed by ten extremely varied newsflashes from real life, all of them objets trouvés from two daily newspaper of 12th June, 2007. The statistical information is set to music in a recitative manner with very few, primarily sustained notes. This is in contrast to the ten newsflashes whose music is composed with lively movements and a tangible pulse in various structures. The somewhat macabre text montage reflects the apparent phenomenon of the sometimes-grotesque contrast of various themes and texts, which seems to magically attract humans.

"Fünf Improvisationsmodelle für Jugendliche" sowie "In Regen, Blitz und Donner" (2008)

Instrumentation: for youths with any instruments (including everyday objects and carnival market instruments) + 2 saxophones and violoncello

The improvisational models "Kartenspiel", "Zündschnur", "Sonntagnachmittag", "Wasserfall" and "Gewitter" are first and foremost to be understood as individual concepts. Duration and instrumentation remain open. The pieces can be realised using normal instruments or everyday objects (plastic bags, paper, pan lids, table tops, pieces of wood, pieces of metal, cutlery, crockery etc.). "Wasserfall" and "Kartenspiel" are possible exceptions as the graphics require pitch and pitch modulation, but even this can be realised using carnival market instruments, lotus flutes or the voice as well as conventional instruments. "Gewitter" can also be the framework of a whole form: One of the other concepts can be played during a stop under a balcony etc..
"In Regen, Blitz und Donner" is ultimately a through-composed version of the preceding possibility where three further instruments are added.

accent - figure - layer (2008)
A project between improvisation and composition

Instrumentation: for bass clarinet/tenor saxophone, percussion, piano, violin, viola and double bass

The wide scope between improvisation and composition is calibrated. There are, however, no long notated passages but form sequences, short notated phrases as starting points, verbal instructions and graphics - right through to improvisation as one extreme. The musical material is based on the archetypal elements 'accent', 'figure' and 'layer' as mentioned in the title. The through-composed parts "unione e tremolo" for violin and viola (movement II) and the violin solo "NONONONO" (movement VII) are inserted between the six movements as the other extreme.

Texts: Heng Siok Tian

Wiederkehr und Veränderung (2013)

Instrumentation: for soprano saxophone, trombone and accordion

Wiederkehr (repetition) and Veränderung (variation) are archetypes of music, and perhaps even of life itself. A series of four basic structures are repeated four times, whereby the duration each time varies enormously, as does the characteristic of each of the basic models. Two of the four basic structures touch on repetition in their internal anatomy. The third basic structure is puzzle-like in its construction, whereby all three instruments repeat the same six elements several times and overlap. On another level, breathing/blowing - an existential basis of life - also plays an important part in this "wind trio".

con forza e con tenerezza (2017)

Instrumentation: Bassklarinette in B und Baritonsaxophon in Es

Sehr schnelle, sehr laute Tonrepetitionen beider Instrumente auf dem gleichen Ton - so beginnt das kurze Werk: con forza. Dieses Startmodell wird gleich zu Beginn variiert, indem das Tempo verändert wird. Danach entfernt sich das Saxophon mit Laufbewegungen vom gemeinsamen Ton, kehrt aber wieder zurück. Unerwartet werden diese Variationen durch einen zarten, leisen Ton gestoppt: tenerezza.

contrapposizioni (2019)

Instrumentation: Solovioline, Flöte, Baritonsaxophon (Es), Horn (F), Akkordeon, Violine I, Violine II, Violoncellov

Das Werk in vier Sätzen beruht auf "Entgegensetzungen" (contrapposizioni) einfacher Grundstrukturen, deren Dialektik jeweils einen anderen Ausgang nimmt. Die Viersätzigkeit ist eine spielerische Anlehnung an die klassische Symphonik.
Im 1. stehen sich Punktefelder der Streicher in wechselnder Dichte und kurze und harte Bläserakkorde gegenüber. Im 2. Satz - quasi das Adagio - schwebt die Solovioline hoch über einer Klangfläche. Im 3. Satz geht es um Improvisation über einem notierten walking bass des Cellos. Der 4.Satz ist ein veritables Rondo.

unzuhause III (2017)

Instrumentation: Fassung für zwei (Alt-) Saxophone

Der Titel ,unzuhause' ist eine Wortschöpfung des Philosophen Martin Heidegger.
,Unzuhause' sei das ursprünglichere Phänomen von Angst, quasi der Boden, auf dem sie sich
erst ausbildet. Die lnterpretierenden und Rezipierenden sind herausgefordert, entlang der
Ungleichgewichte in der Musik in ein Spiel mit der eigenen Mitte zu treten.
