Par ROSZELL PATRICK (Arr.). From the blockbuster film Zack Snyder's Justice League comes this intense arrangement of themes that are both dramatic and ominous. Featuring dark sonorities and driving rhythms, this work brings all the thrilling action to life. This stunning arrangement by Patrick Roszell features a reduced number of wind parts, making it even more accessible. (5:30) / Date parution : 2022-10-12/ Répertoire / Orchestre

Les cinq pièces de Sphères sont une commande de Radio-France et ont été créées sur les ondes de France-Musique chacun des cinq jours de la semaine. La thématique de l'oeuvre découle directement des conditions de sa naissance puisque Séléné (la lune) a vu le jour un lundi, Mars un mardi, etc. jusqu'à Vénus un vendredi.L'évocation de ces noms fait d'abord tinter nos souvenirs mythologiques et, en effet, une partie de l'inspiration de ces pièces est redevable à la personnalité des dieux de l'Olympe: Vénus toute de grâce sensuelle - Jupiter figé dans son écrasante domination universelle - Mercure volatile, insaisissable - Mars symbole de guerre mais aussi de printemps, de renouveau, et surtout force vitale irrépressible - la lune enfin qui, lorsqu'elle se montre ronde et blanche - la pleine lune est l'une des facettes de Diane - a pour nom Séléné. Nous en ressentons régulièrement la puissance attractive figurée ici musicalement par une série de vagues dont la dernière, véritable marée montante, est comme un pan d'océan soulevé par ce satellite prédateur.Car ce sont bien les corps célestes qui ont stimulé la plus grande part des idées musicales (l'indifférence de Jupiter n'est pas que le fait d'Epicure - elle s'explique aussi par sa constitution essentiellement gazeuse).La période, source à la fois de fréquence et de durée, est ici l'élément générateur - le développement, un déploiement de spirales harmoniques et rythmiques - ces douze minutes d'orchestre, un hommage aux innombrables sphères qui virevoltent à travers l'univers dans une danse fascinante, un contrepoint cosmique aux proportions étourdissantes.Patrick Burgan / Orchestre

Pastorale for Christmas-Though lesser known than some Christmas melodies this stately pastoral work incorporates the chorus of O Come All Ye Faithful (or Adeste Fideles) into the writing. The original melody by Yon is rather remarkable in its elegant beauty and sounds timeless and enchantingly ancient though it was written rather recently in 1917. Pietro Yon was an organist who spent most of his career at the St. Patrick Cathedral in New York. Yon was well regarded in his lifetime by fellow musicians notably among his pupils was the celebrated American songwriter Cole Porter and upon his passing in 1943 Arturo Toscanini himself was among those who attended his large funeral. This arrangementbegins solftly with a simple statement of the melody in the trumpets. The theme expands as it is passed around the various instrumental choirs with increasing use of counterpoint. Culminating in a joyous exhaultation the music winds to a gentle and serene conclusion. The score is well-cued in key sections where the melody is prominent.
