Staud, JM :: Now for Something Different
Breitkopf & Hartel presents "Now For Something Different: Bright Music for Dark Times" for flute, bassoon, and piano by composer Johannes Maria Staud.
"And now for something completely different": This phrase is actually the opposite of a smooth transition and has become a dictum in this useful-unuseful function. The British comedy group Monty Python used to connect the sketches in their television series "Monty Python's Flying Circus" with this abrupt change of subject to something "completely different."
Staud composed this piece on commission by the Society for the Friends of Music in 2020. The musicians had expected a completely different musical language, at least not with what Staud delivered to them under the allusive title as an exhilarating result of the lockdown. But they responded with amusement and enthusiasm to this music that does not shy away from being cheerful and thus also providing pleasure.
