Notes:

"Hinterhofmusick" for strings in scordatura, three oboes, trumpet and timpani plus skindrums was composed in 2008, commissioned by the "Düsseldorfer Symphoniker". In this concert two orchestras were combined, the Symphoniker together with the "Neue Düsseldorfer Hofmusik", an ensemble focussing on baroque and preclassical music. I paint a picture of freshness, joyfulness, even cookiness, with just intonation chords, but with far away overtones, pretty and harsh at the same time. This is a picture of my imagination of a 17th century music full of new ideas transposed into our time. The 17th century Düsseldorfer Hofmusik was initiated by Duke Jan Willem, who died too early, so the orchestra went to Mannheim and became famous in creating a new sound, working together with Johann Stamitz and others.
