| Our third Hans Werner
Henze installment includes two concert suites based on motion picture
soundtracks composed by Henze, and an arrangement by Henze of an
oratorio by Giacomo Carissimi. The movie Swann in Love (1984) is
represented by twelve variations for orchestra, and the movie Katharina

music in these works was originally written to accompany motion
pictures, it includes some of the most gratifying harmonies I have
heard by Henze. His arrangement of Carissimi's Jepthe is scored for an
intriguing collection of flutes, plucked string instruments, and
percussion--producing timbres that are unmistakably from the twentieth
century. The installment includes a PDF files with liner notes from the two LPs these works appeared on (see pp. 12,15,16). To download
