Dating prior to the Civil War, Every Time I Feel the Spirit is one of the most beloved spirituals. Like many spirituals, this one is both a song and a prayer. This arrangement begins with a driving eighth note rhythm which, after a contrasting middle section, returns to bring the work to an exciting conclusion.

This is a piece that has seen several iterations, originally composed for the Trance genre, then modified for string quartet and finally string orchestra. I was inspired by how human beings solve complex problems. Multiple thought processes occur at the same time, all independent, or sparked off each other. The individual may dwell on these patterns for a while until finally, a single voice emerges. This is the decision or the solution to the problem we seek. Human beings are amazing and will never cease to amaze me. In short, the human being is an enigma.

The spirit of adventure is accurately portrayed in this grade 3 tour de force. It has all the elements players and conductors love: excitement, bold sounds, and interesting harmonies; yet, it avoids the pitfalls that so often lead to failure: rapidly changing and asymmetric rhythms, phrases too long for the students to navigate, and intricate articulations.

In Hans Winterberg's turbulent first half of his life, there were two periods of calm, phases in which he must have had the feeling of having “arrived”, of making his way and enjoying the recognition that his extraordinary talent deserved. In the mid-1930s, when he had started a family in Prague and created his first masterpieces as a freelance composer. Then again around 1950, when, as a Holocaust survivor, he gained a foothold in Munich after fleeing Czechoslovakia and was able to celebrate his first significant successes with performances by the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra and the city's top musicians. Hardly any other work by Winterberg radiates such self-assurance and confidence as the Trio for clarinet (or violin), cello and piano, composed in 1950, the year of the first successful performance of his 1st Piano Concerto by the Munich Philharmonic. With its four movements and a playing time of over 15 minutes, it is one of his more extensive chamber music works, bringing together all the characteristics of his oeuvre in a successful symbiosis: Impressionist sensuality of sound, neoclassical charm and folkloristic high spirits – Winterberg's Trio 1950, published for the first time in its two versions now, is a substantial enrichment of the 20th century trio repertoire.
