THE NEW-FOUND JOURNAL Op.45 (score & parts)

The New-Found Journal was commissioned by Markus Htzel and the Melton Tuba Quartet. This woodwind quartet version was arranged for the Quatuor de Vents du Luxembourg. Perusing rows of ancient leather-bound volumes in a baronial private library, a browser pauses, his hand hovering over a burnished tome. The word 'Journal,' embossed in gold, gleams through heavy dust and he slides it carefully from the shelf where it has sat, untouched, for decades...perhaps centuries. Gingerly he turns to the first yellowed page - and plunges into a world of swashbuckling adventure, recorded in evocative detail by a 16th-century spice trader. His seafaring escapades and exotic encounters are left to the imagination of the listener...
