Three Choral Fanfares
By
Wilfried Westerlinck
The Annapolis Brass Quintet first met Wilfried Westerlinck in Brussels where we did a recorded program for Belgian Radio in 1975. He served as head of Belgian Radio's Chamber Music Division for many years and was the producer of that recording session. That was to be the first of many Belgian Radio recording sessions for the ABQ, and we got to know him very well.

In 1983 we invited Wilfried Westerlinck to Baltimore to serve as "Composer in Residence" for the month-long International Brass Quintet Festival and Symposium.
While there he completed the last of his Three Choral Fanfares (Moderato Simplice, the 2nd one in the set) as a gift to the Annapolis Brass Quintet. The first of the set (Bene Largo) had been written as a birthday gift for his wife and the third (Tempo Solemnia) created as a coda to a song which had been commissioned by the Antwerp Conservatory. |
This recording was made at one of the ABQ's Belgian Radio sessions
and is included in a CD of Westerlinck's music titled Libra.

Wilfried Westerlinck (b. 3 October 1945) (a Libra) studied at two conservatories, respectively in Brussels and in Antwerp. Between 1968 and 2001 he worked for the Belgian Radio, where he was responsible for the chamber music department. Between 1970 and 1983 he taught music analysis at the Antwerp Conservatory. As a composer he was awarded several prizes: in 1972 the 'Tenuto-prize' for his 'Metamorphosis' for large orchestra, in 1977 the Antwerp Province award for his 'Landscapes 1' for woodwind quintet, and in 1985 the Eugene Baie prize as recognition of the artistic value of his general work.
