Hugo Wolf (1860-1903) Nun wandre, Maria (Spanisches Liederbuch) 0:00 Peter Bannister (1966 - ) Nun wandre, Maria 2:32 Nun wandre, Maria, nun wandre nur fort. Schon krähen die Hähne, und nah ist der Ort. Nun wandre, Geliebte, du Kleinod mein, Und balde wir werden in Bethlehem sein. Dann ruhest du fein und schlummerst dort. Schon krähen die Hähne und nah ist der Ort. Wohl seh ich, Herrin, die Kraft dir schwinden; Kann deine Schmerzen, ach, kaum verwinden. Getrost! Wohl finden wir Herberg dort. Schon krähen die Hähne und nah ist der Ort. Wär erst bestanden dein Stündlein, Marie, Die gute Botschaft, gut lohnt ich sie. Das Eselein hie gäb ich drum fort! Schon krähen die Hähne und nah ist der Ort. Now travel on, Mary, now travel forth. Already the cocks are crowing and the place is near. Now travel on, Beloved, my jewel, And soon we will be in Bethlehem. Then you will rest and slumber there. The cocks are crowing and the place is near. Well I can see, O Lady, that your strength is fading. Ah, it can hardly bear your pains. Courage! Surely we will find lodging there. Already the cocks are crowing and the place is near. If only your hour were come, Mary, I would give good reward for the glad tidings. For it I would give up the donkey! Already the cocks are crowing and the place is near. Spanisches Liederbuch.

Setting of the Latin hymn Salve Regina for voice and organ: Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiae, vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve. ad te clamamus exsules filii Evae, ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes in hac lacrimarum valle. Eia, ergo, advocata nostra, illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte; et Iesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui, nobis post hoc exsilium ostende. O clemens, O pia, O dulcis Virgo Maria. English: Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us; and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

The present piece is a tribute to one of modern jazz’s most seminal figures, the drummer, composer and pianist Jack DeJohnette, who died on October 26, 2025 at the age of 83. A complete musician capable not only of breathtaking virtuosity but also of creating a seemingly endless range of atmospheric textures and playing with the most diverse performers, I above all associate him with the legendary "Standards" Trio of Keith Jarrett alongside bassist Gary Peacock, in which he played for over 25 years. The title Gnossienne refers to the early piano music of Erik Satie (1866-1925) in this year of the 100th anniversary of his death, drawing its melodic material from Gnossiennes 1, 2, 3 and 5. Curiously, it was only after finishing the piece that I discovered that Jack DeJohnette had himself written an Ode to Satie for his piano album Return (2016).

Lieder 2.0 (Lauda and Litany) is a series of re-imaginings of the Austro-German classics of the voice and piano literature, dealing with the perennial metaphysical questions that form a persistent undercurrent of the Lieder repertoire from Beethoven and Schubert onwards. While treating these "standards" (in the jazz sense) in a contemporary musical language that could be described as "classical crossover", all these pieces retain some elements of their models, which the listener will hopefully recognize. In some cases the references are overt (retaining the melody itself or the rhythm/phrase-structure of the vocal line); in others, the influence of the original settings is more indirect, with the new versions employing motivic elements derived from them or evoking a similar atmosphere. 1.

Two organ pieces Peter Bannister 2025 I. Trois tuyaux (three organ pipes) 0:00 This short piece refers to a symbolic vision recounted by the 13th century German mystic St Mechtilde, who saw the Heart of Christ in the form of three organ pipes "I offer you My Heart," [Jesus] said one day to St Mechtilde, addressing all her sisters through her, "I offer you My Heart," and at once she saw Him holding His Heart in His breast like a cup, and in this cup were gathered three organ pipes which signified the three dispositions of the divine Heart of our Lord on earth, dispositions in which He wished all to be who had recourse to His Heart. First, the Heart of Christ was towards His Father full of reverence and love. Secondly, the Heart of Christ was towards men full of mercy and charity. Thirdly, the Heart of Christ was in itself full of humility and abjection." And our Lord said to all who approached His Heart: "Drink and be inebriated, My dear friends." This vision of St Mechtilde is the starting-point for a solo organ piece in which no more than three pitches sound at any one time. A further self-imposed limitation is that in the chordal progressions, each chord is linked to the preceding one by at least one note. The challenge for the composer in this miniature game is to obtain a maximum of expression using a minimum of musical means - a sort of artistic practice of ‘voluntary poverty’ (freiwillige Armut). Among living composers, ‘sacred minimalism’ is most famously associated with Arvo Pärt: Trois tuyaux is dedicated to the great Estonian composer in honour of his 90th birthday year and in gratitude for our meetings over the years, most recently - and unexpectedly - at the Arvo Pärt Centre in Estonia in November 2024. II. Cor amandum Salvatoris 2:22 This piece takes its title from a Gregorian melody found in the Liber Usualis for the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, to a Latin text of St Jean Eudes (1601-1680). The opening portion of the chant as quoted in bars 6-11 sets the words ‘Let all hearts cherish the loving Heart of the Saviour, source of sweetness and love.’ These two movements were composed as part of the project 'Le Livre du Coeur du Christ' (The Book of the Heart of Christ) in collaboration with the Sanctuaire de Paray-le-Monial in France for the 350th anniversary of the apparitions of Jesus to St Marguerite-Marie Alacoque (1647-1690).

Lieder 2.0 : In stiller Nacht i) Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) Deutsche Volkslieder (WoO 33 n.12) 0:00 ii) Peter Bannister (1966 - ) 2:22 https://www.universaledition.com/en/Works/Lauda-and-Litany-Two-songs-after-Johannes-Brahms/P0208567 In stiller Nacht, zur ersten Wacht, ein Stimm’ begunnt zu klagen, der nächt’ge Wind hat süß und lind zu mir den Klang getragen. Von herben Leid und Traurigkeit ist mir das Herz zerflossen, die Blümelein, mit Tränen rein hab’ ich sie all’ begossen. Der schöne Mond will untergahn, für Leid nicht mehr mag scheinen, die Sterne lan ihr Glitzen stahn, mit mir sie wollen weinen. Kein Vogelsang noch Freudenklang man höret in den Lüften, die wilden Tier’ trauern auch mit mir in Steinen und in Klüften. In the quiet night, at the first watch, a voice began to lament ; sweetly and gently, the night wind brought the sound to me. My heart melted in bitter sorrow and grief I watered all the little flowers with my pure tears. The beautiful moon wants to disappear, no longer shining due to its pain ; The stars set aside their gleaming, wishing to weep with me. In the air, neither the singing of the birds nor the sound of rejoicing are to be heard ; The wild animals grieve with me as well, upon the rocks and in the ravines.
