Refraction is a work that uses the entire band and all the colours it can possibly produce. As the title suggests, it was inspired the fascinating physical phenomenon known as refraction. Just like light is split and disbursed into all its colours, the main theme is split into little motives. As the individual motives are disbursed throughout the band, different sections become more prominent, only to recede into the general texture again. The work concludes with the fusion of all these elements in a monumental climax of movement, sound and colour.

Refraction ist ein groß angelegtes Werk für Blasorchester, inspiriert vom Phänomen der Brechung (Refraction). Die Musik nutzt alle Klangfarben des Blasorchesters und genau wie das Licht in verschiedene Farben gebrochen wird, wird hier das Hauptthema fortwährend in kleine Motive aufgesplittert, die jeweils eine andere Instrumentengruppe in den Vordergrund rücken. Zum Schluss verschmelzen alle Elemente in einem monumentalen Höhepunkt von Bewegung, Klang und Farbe.

Per questo brano di grande impatto dove vengono utilizzate tutte le dinamiche che una banda può offrire, Jan Hadermann si è ispirato al fenomeno della refrazione. Il compositore rende l’impatto ancora più grande con una sezione allargata dei sax e dei flicorni soprani. Refraction è un vero fuoco d’artifi cio di suoni, colori e movimenti.
