- TRIBUTE TO J.CASH - for flute & piccolo flute, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets & bass-clarinet, 2 bassoons & contra-bassoon, 2 horns, double-bass - COMPOSER: Peer Baierlein ------- About the video: Although "Ring of Fire" sounds somewhat ominous, the term refers to falling in love - which is what June Carter (wife of Johnny Cash) was experiencing with Johnny Cash at the time. Some sources claim that June had seen the phrase, "Love is like a burning ring of fire," underlined in one of her uncle A. P. Carter's Elizabethan books of poetry. She worked with Kilgore on writing a song inspired by this phrase as she had seen her uncle do in the past. In the 2005 film, "Walk the Line" June is depicted as writing the song while agonizing over her feelings for Cash despite his drug addiction and alcoholism as she was driving home one evening. The song was originally recorded by June's sister, Anita Carter. After hearing Anita's version, Cash claims he had a dream where he heard the song accompanied by "Mexican horns". When the song failed to become a major hit for Anita, Cash recorded it his own way, adding the mariachi-style horns. Four years after the song was released, Carter and Cash were married which Cash states helped to stop his alcohol and drug addictions. Cash's daughter, Rosanne has stated, "The song is about the transformative power of love and that's what it has always meant to me and that's what it will always mean to the Cash children." ------- MUSICIANS: Ulrike Höfs - Flute, Guilherme Filipe Sousa - Oboe, Christian Seibold -Clarinet, Christoph Konnerth, Jan Polle - Horn, Serghei Gorlenko - DoubleBass / Nationaal Orkest
