Derek Bourgeois was born in 1941 and has his composition and conducting education from Cambridge University and Royal College of Music.  He is a very productive composer, has composed 6 symphonies, 5 big choir compositions, many concertos and one opera.  He also has a very large production of music for brass bands, wind bands and different brass instrument combinations.

This concerto was composed in 1977, and first performed by the BBC Wales orchestra in 1990.  The composition has three movements, all played attacca.  The character in the composition is very dramatic and the melodic material is built around the first interval in the composition, a minor third.

The introduction of the piece is very rhythmical and has a lot of changing rhythmical figures. It moves over to the second movement, who is built around a Gregorian theme, played by muted trombones. Second movement ends with a violin cadenza and a bas trombone cadenza and leads straight into the virtuoso final of the piece. 

The final movement is also built around the same Gregorian theme. The composer uses a lot of percussion instruments in the piece, and a lot of interaction between the three soloists and the string orchestra to reflect the different characters in the piece.

Christian Lindberg Trombone Concerto "Helicon Wasp" (World premiere)

Jean Sibelius Symphony no. 7

The first time that this title came in to my head was on an airplane from Switzerland. I had been playing a concert were I felt rather disappointed with the intellectual emptiness that sometimes creeps in to the world of classical music, and I was just in the process of putting a programme together with the pianist Peter Jablonski. I was rather drunk, I had been drinking wine and whisky in the business class lounge, and in to my head came music that would not have appeared have I been sober...the music reminded me of the more adventurous performances at the Woodstock Festival (including that of Jimmy Hendrix), and I immediately wrote down the title and some sketches that I heard in my head. The concert with Peter Jablonski never materialized, and I never even started on the piece for trombone and piano, but the title remained, and when I got the opportunity to write for the fantastic Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra I decided that THIS was to become my "Helikon Wasp". The motives that were created in drunkenness changed character while I was working on them in a sober state of mind, but the essence and original idea remained intact: "Helikon Wasp" is a sort of hero, that does not have any moral or religious convictions other than just doing whatever his mind and soul tells him to do, and the thing he hates more than anything else is intellectual mannerism. The name "Helikon", however, comes from the Greek mythology, and at the same time as the wasp hates intellectualism, he does want to please a classical audience that usually needs something intellectual to justify a "work of art". Therefore he gives the following description of his name: "Helikon was the mountain where Zeus lived, and close to this mountain was also the "valley of the muses" close to Thespiai. Above that valley was the well called Hippokrene, and if one drinks from the water there it is said that poetic inspiration comes to you. Helikon is also, in fact, the name of two different kinds of instruments: One is a string instrument from ancient Greece, an instrument that was used for references in music theory. Another one is a brass instrument with a circular form, a sort of tuba or sousaphone that is used often in march music."

More than that need not to be said about the piece "Helikon Wasp" for conducting trombonist and orchestra. I hope you will have a good time listening to it!

Christian Lindberg

Helikon Wasp...is a funny...funny little creature
Yes he is...he is a funny little...creature
but...he can...he can sing...and he play

He is an animal
He can sing and play
He is so fucking unbelievable
Taht you want to kiss him on his rosy cheek

What is this? I hear souls of ice
That want to kill the wasp
He panics...but tries not to care
Because if he does...he will die!
But...if he doesn´t care
He can protect...what he has hidden
In the core of his...scelleton

Are you still there?
you...with a heart like an ice cube
who hide behind intellectual mannerism
The wasp is ready...to give you a real sting
Because...you don´t belong here!

TIME FOR HELIKON WASP ECCENTRIC CIRCUS!
