Because everything has been done before, contemporary composing is in urgent need of original minds with original ideas. Hubert Hoche, born in 1966, is obviously on the right track, his works attract interest and are performed. After a varied and practice-oriented education in Weimar and Paris, among other places, he dedicated himself intensively to the communication and dissemination of new music as a choral and orchestral conductor, founded his own publishing house, which supported his work and that of colleagues, and also found time for committees such as the Composers' Association or the Tonkünstlerverband. Fortunately, Hoche is supported by respected performers in winning listeners over to the experience of new music, arousing curiosity, removing threshold fears. In the case of The sun is shining over a winter landscape, it was the Landesjugendensemble für Neue Musik Thüringen with its young, equally qualified and enthusiastic musicians who commissioned the composition. It was premiered on 13 April 2012 in Weimar under the direction of Juri Lebedev, who had to coordinate the quintet of flute, clarinet, violin, violoncello and piano with the diverse and expansive percussion group.
Although the musical text is binding as such, because conventionally notated and without extended playing techniques, the composition leaves much room for the imagination of performers and listeners. The programmatic title, a feature found more often in Hoche's work, allows for particularly diverse associations here. The tonal possibilities of the instrumental quintet, which could stand for the image of the sunlit winter snow-covered landscape, alternate between full-voiced, almost orchestral sections and transparent, more soloistic passages. Incidentally, the movement is in six voices because the piano represents two independently conducted voices. Compositionally realised through subtly shifted repetitive events of a rhythmic, melodic and harmonic nature, specific timbres and sound mixtures emerge that can be associated with ideas such as light, warmth and cold or duration, and whose structure is reminiscent of minimal music.
In these sound spaces, as the composer calls them, the various percussion instruments set accents, make audible what happens to the snow through the sun, how water thaws and drips or drips, how ice crunches and breaks. The marimba, which is involved pretty much throughout, supports the piano, while the crotales, brass disc bells, or the ride cymbal, a cymbal with a bell, native to jazz, are used more selectively. In addition, there is a bass drum and even a tam tam, and as small handy instruments claves or sound woods and woodblocks (called templeblock in the score), which really sound like water drops. The piece is not too difficult technically, but the interplay is very demanding in places. As a well-crafted and effective impression, it will certainly please ensembles with the appropriate instruments.
