Additional info/contents	Alexander Lag's composition "1532" for wind orchestra is based on a historical legend from 1532, when a drunken Turkish soldier was spared during the siege of Purbach and welcomed into the village community. The work is divided into seven sections, musically depicting the idyllic landscape, the approaching danger, the battle, and the commemoration of the fallen. Lag utilizes the wind orchestra and its diverse sonic possibilities to create moods of nature, dramatic confrontations, and exotic timbres. Particularly striking are the use of oriental scales and unusual harmonies, which lend the work a unique tension. "1532" is a challenging yet rewarding work for ensembles seeking a musical narrative with historical context. It is suitable as a concert highlight and can be complemented by a brief introduction to the legend. (© musicainfo.net)
