What seems unusual at first glance actually describes one of the most successful new formations from Hamburg. Meute is the name of the 11-piece Techno marching band which has set itself the challenge of taking electronic music back to its roots, or in other words: to make it heard acoustically once again. The idea has proven a success and found enthusiastic followers, even beyond German borders. Employing the proverbial trumpets and drums, the hypnotic power of the repetitive structures creates a fascinating live sound, offering a unique club music experience. Meute At 10 pm, follwing the concert, Berlin-based DJ Jueri Gagarino will invite to enjoy a live set.

Gregory Porter and Band Kaiser Quartet. »Wo man singt, da lass dich ruhig nieder.« (»Where there is singing, there stay a while.«) This quote attributed to Johann Gottfried Seume seems perfectly suited to the serenade by the Kreuzchor, as Pillnitz Castle on the bank of the River Elbe, an extraordinary combination of architecture and horticulture, invites audiences in the merry month of May to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon under a blue sky, listening to the pure, bell-like voices of the Kreuzchor choristers. The famous choir will offer a colorful and diverse musical bouquet during its traditional afternoon concert, traversing musical centuries with ease.
Dresdner Kreuzchor Kreuzkantor Roderich Kreile, Conductor In case of rain, the performance takes place at 3:30 pm at the Weinbergkirche (Bergweg 3). The concert of the Dresden Music Festival’s own ensemble, which is committed to historical performance practice, and its chief conductor Ivor Bolton, is dedicated entirely to Johannes Brahms, one of the greatest composers of the romantic era.
The program features the Haydn Variations, which the composer himself laconically called an »orchestral exercise«, and the light-filled Second Symphony, which he wrote in a relatively short period of time – having spent more than twenty years on his first symphony! The centerpiece is the opulent Violin Concerto in D major, for which the orchestra is joined by the renowned violinist Thomas Zehetmair, who will interpret the work on gut strings.

The four musicians of the string Quartet Brooklyn Rider from New York – who are part of Yo-Yo Ma’s famous Silk Road Ensemble – are known for unconventional and passionate music-making, combining classics of quartet literature with contemporary compositions, some of them their own. This impressive programmatic and stylistic versatility reflects the musical explorations of a younger generation of instrumentalists who are interested in new forms and colors.

Upon his death, Gustav Mahler left voluminous sketches for a large symphony in five movements. However, only the first movement was ready to be performed – a monumental Adagio evoking the spiritual world of Anton Bruckner, but bearing first intimations of the Second Viennese School of Arnold Schoenberg.
The dissonant sound clusters seem like a premonition of World War I. George Alexander Albrecht, known mainly as a conductor, has also become an impressively prolific composer during recent years. His »Requiem for Syria«, commissioned by the Dresden Philharmonic and performed for the first time on this evening, is a grand confessional work, lending a moving artistic voice to current political statements.

Schubert’s Sonata in A minor D 784 marks a transition between his early classicistic style and his romantic masterpieces. The collection of »Moments musicaux« was published in 1828, the last year of the composer’s life, but some of its pieces date back to the early 1820s. Schumann was inspired to choose the name »Kreisleriana« by E. Hoffmann’s figure of Kapellmeister Kreisler, whom he considered the epitome of the romantic artist. In the composer’s own opinion, the resulting cycle represented the best of his piano compositions. The program of this evening could not have been tailored more exactly to the evening’s soloist, Radu Lupu, one of the greatest pianists of our time – a legend of his instrument in his own lifetime.

The renowned British tenor Ian Bostridge returns to the Dresden Music Festival with Schubert’s »Winterreise«, one of the composer’s most impressive, but also mysterious compositions. The cycle of 24 songs has kept the singer busy for almost 30 years – on stage, but also off, as he has written a fascinating book on the subject. Its publisher advertises the book as follows: »Ian Bostridge, a world-class musician, explains [] not only the context and effect of the 24 songs. He also manages to convey the timeless magical energy which transforms Schubert’s wanderer into a reflection of our own soul.« Without doubt, the artist is perfectly cast for an exploration of these soulful sound worlds.

This warning to his friend and colleague concerned the unusual form of the concerto, which was conceived not as a bravura showpiece, but as an intimately interwoven dialogue. The work for what Brahms called an »enormous eight-string violin« will be the focus of the workshop concert with the Dresden Festival Orchestra, performing on instruments from its composer’s time.
Devoting itself to the original sound of Brahms’ era and to the form of the double concerto, it provides a perfect introduction to the final concert later that same evening. Dresden Festival Orchestra Ivor Bolton, Conductor Thomas Zehetmair, Violin Jan Vogler, Violoncello and Host Kindly supported by the »Society of Friends of the Dresden Music Festival e.V.«. It has become a tradition for the Festival Orchestra to sound the final chord of the season, and thus the orchestra’s members perform works by the great triumvirate of romantic composers: Mendelssohn’s imaginative overture to Shakespeare’s »Midsummer Night’s Dream« and Robert Schumann’s famous »Rhenish« Symphony. »Prepare yourself for a small scare,« Brahms wrote to his friend, the violinist Joseph Joachim, about his Double Concerto for Violin and Cello. Today, however, the work is considered an ideal model of a spirited dialogue between two solo instruments.

SPARQL Architecture & Endpoints • SPARQL queries are executed against RDF datasets, consisting of RDF graphs. (More on this later.) • A SPARQL endpoint accepts queries and returns results via HTTP. • Generic endpoints will query any Web-accessible RDF data • Specific endpoints are hardwired to query against particular datasets • The results of SPARQL queries can be returned and/or rendered in a variety of formats: • XML. SPARQL specifies an for returning tables of results.
A of the XML vocabulary, particularly useful for Web applications. Certain SPARQL result clauses trigger RDF responses, which in turn can be serialized in a number of ways (,,, etc.) • HTML. When using an interactive form to work with SPARQL queries. Often implemented by applying an XSL transform to XML results. RDF Datasets • We said earlier that SPARQL queries are executed against RDF datasets, consisting of RDF graphs. • So far, all of our queries have been against a single graph.
In SPARQL, this is known as the default graph. • RDF datasets are composed of the default graph and zero or more named graphs, identified by a URI. • Named graphs can be specified with one or more FROM NAMED clauses, or they can be hardwired into a particular SPARQL endpoint. • The SPARQL GRAPH keyword allows portions of a query to match against the named graphs in the RDF dataset. Anything outside a GRAPH clause matches against the default graph.
A new SPARQL WG was chartered in March 2009 to extend the SPARQL language and protocol. SPARQL 2 will include these extensions: • Update. SPARQL/Query 1.0 is a read-only query language. The is the leading candidate to define SPARQL/Update 1.0 with add insert/update/delete capabilities. SPARQL/Query 1.1 will include improved language syntax for querying negations.
• Aggregates. SPARQL/Query 1.0 does not include any grouping capability or aggregate functions (e.g. Count, min, max, avg, sum.). Several implementations have extended SPARQL with. • Projected expressions. All variable bindings in a SPARQL/Query 1.0 query must come from data matched in the underlying dataset graphs.
Allow for query results to contain constants, functions, or any other expression. • Subqueries.
Several current SPARQL implementations support, allowing one query to be embedded within another. • Service description. There is no standard way for a SPARQL endpoint to. Even with the ongoing SPARQL 2 work, there are several other pieces of the SPARQL landscape that are not yet standardized, including: • How is keyword/key-phrase search integrated with SPARQL queries?
• How can initial bindings be supplied to a SPARQL endpoint along with the query itself? • Is there a standard way to ask that a SPARQL query be run against all the graphs that a SPARQL endpoint knows about? • SPARQL in and.
