Additional info/contents	Mario Bürki's composition "The Castle of Old Oaks" intertwines the history of Wildenstein Castle—a unique hilltop castle in the canton of Basel-Landschaft with origins in the 13th century—with the tradition of the Bubendorf Music Society, which has shaped regional brass band music for over 150 years. The work is divided into several musical sections that explore architectural splendor, historical conflicts such as the Rappen War, and local folklore. A Baroque-inspired opening pays tribute to the grandeur of the castle, while a meditative section captures the mystical atmosphere of the ancient oaks surrounding Wildenstein. An interlude quotes the traditional Bubendorf song, anchoring the composition in regional identity. Dynamic rhythms address historical tensions, such as the conflicts surrounding the Rütli Meadow, before a magnificent finale unites past and present. Bürki's work is an acoustic homage to the cultural and historical identity of Bubendorf—a fusion of music, architecture, and regional tradition. (© musicainfo.net)
