About this arrangement

Concert Band/Harmonie - Grade 4 SKU: BT.1124-04-010-M Composed by Otto M. Schwarz. Mitropa Concertwork Series. Concert Piece. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 2004. 154 pages. Mitropa Music #1124-04-010 M. Published by Mitropa Music (BT.1124-04-010-M). On September 19th, 1991 a mummified corpse of a man was found at the Similaun glacier in the Ötztäler Alps. The glacier unveiled an early man after 5,300 years, with all his personal belongings. His clothes and weapons were fairly well preserved and today allow us a deeper insight into that period. Austrian nature filmmaker Kurt Mündel reconstructed the life of this man and made a film which, based on facts, shows how it might have been then. Otto M. Schwarz used this documentary as an opportunity to write a work for symphonic wind band and musically resurrect the “Man in the Ice.”Am 19. September 1991 wurde in den Ötztaler Alpen die mumifizierte Leiche eines Mannes gefunden. Der Gletscher hatte nach ca. 5300 Jahren einen frühzeitlichen Menschen freigegeben, dessen gut erhaltene Habseligkeiten uns einen interessanten Einblick in die damalige Zeit geben. Otto M. Schwarz nahm eine Film-Dokumentation über das mögliche Schicksal von "Ötzi" zum Anlass, ein Werk für symphonisches Blasorchester zu schreiben, welches den "Mann im Eis" musikalisch wieder auferstehen lässt. Eine Reise in die Urzeit, wie sie Musiker und Publikum mit Sicherheit noch nicht erlebt haben!Sono passati 5300 anni prima che il ghiacciaio austriaco di Similaun ci rendesse il corpo mummificato di un uomo primitivo assieme a qualche effetto personale che l’accompagnava. Lo straordinario stato di conservazione del corpo, degli indumenti e dell’equipaggiamento hanno consentito di farsi un’idea più precisa di quando quest’uomo fosse vissuto. Per comporre questo brano, Otto M. Schwarz si è ispirato ad un documentario dedicato all’Uomo dei Ghiacciai. Un omaggio musicale a colui che, nel settembre del 1991, è entrato nella storia con il nome di Oetzi.
