HERBST
Overview
Intro
The latest composition by renowned Swiss composer Oliver Waespi explores the theme of autumn. The world premiere is part of a carefully curated concert program.
“Fall”—The third season is a frequent theme in poetry and music. Fall is a time of transition, transience, and letting go, but also of maturation—it is thus the crossroads of melancholic reflection and hopeful optimism.
The latest composition by the renowned Swiss composer Oliver Waespi also explores this season. The Concerto for saxophone and wind orchestra was commissioned by the up-and-coming Swiss saxophonist Simon Fluri, who will premiere it together with the Bern Symphonic Wind Orchestra.
The world premiere is part of a carefully curated concert program. The program is inspired by autumn poems by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875–1926), the 100th anniversary of whose death falls this year. In “The Leaves Are Falling,” Warren Benson draws on the poem “Herbst” from *Buch der Lieder*—and Oliver Waespi, too, was inspired by fragments of Rilke’s poetry for his work.
Oliver Waespi’s Concerto for Saxophone and Wind Orchestra is performed by Simon Fluri and other wind orchestras in Switzerland and abroad. The creation and performance of the work are supported by Pro Helvetia and the Fondation SUISA, among others.
