Par ELGAR EDWARD. With Christopher Hogwood’s new edition of Elgar ’s much loved Serenade, a scholarly-critical edition of the work is now available for the first time. As with other Elgar works, modern editions of the Serenade have always suffered from an enormous number of inconsistancies between the score and parts and unclear divisi and unison passages. The editor has clarified these discrepancies, drawing on Elgar ’s version of the work for Piano four hands (the original version) and the recently discovered autograph manuscript of the first movement. The edition also contains a facsimile showing the original ending of thethird movement as well as an informative foreword (Ger/Eng) and a critical commentary (Eng). The first scholarly-critical Urtext edition of this popular work for string orchestra. Foreword (Ger/Eng) and critical commentary (Eng). With facsimile pages. Full score and performance material (BA9041) available for sale./ Répertoire / Cordes

Par DVORAK ANTONIN. Serenade No. 1 for string orchestra, and Serenade No. 2 for winds, horns, and low strings, both composed in the late 1870s are two of Dvorak's most popular and frequently performed works. These splendid pieces embody the qualities we have come to associate with the composer's most colorful and typical music. Reproduced from early editions./ Répertoire / Orchestre

Suk, Josef Meditation on the Old Czech Hymn St Wenceslas for String Quartet op. 35a Josef Suk played second violin in the Bohemian String Quartet. Since 1914 the ensemble was obliged to perform the Austrian national anthem at the opening of every concert. Suk decided to supplement this obligatory piece with a work inspired by the ancient sacred Bohemian ?St. Wenceslas? hymn. The hymn?s message ? a plea for the well-being of the Czech people, directed at their patron saint ? was immediately understood by the audience. The Bohemian String Quartet performed this single-movement Meditation for the first time on 27 September 1914; the premiere of the version for string orchestra followed on 22 November 1914, played by the Czech Philharmonic. That same year the piece was published by Fr. A. Urbánek together with arrangements for piano and organ. This first Urtext edition, prepared by the Suk scholar Zdenek Nouza, is published in two scorings, one for string quartet (BA 9583; study score TP 583) and another for string orchestra (BA 9584). The orchestral version differs in some details and has an added part for double bass. ? First Urtext edition Edition no.

Par GRIEG EDVARD / BERNOTAS CHRIS (Arr.). A stunning arrangement of the incredible masterwork Peer Gynt Suite No.1, Op. 46! It is perfect for string orchestra alone, or with added instruments up to a full orchestra. This setting, by Chris M. Bernotas, offers the opportunity to explore the entire suite. All four movements are presented in approachable keys and are abridged to the perfect length and difficulty level for your next concert. (5:30) / Date parution : 2022-10-12/ Répertoire / Orchestre

Reinforce legato, staccato, and ensemble phrasing with this piece while ushering in the joyous holiday season with musical glee. Opening with a clear unison statement and slowly adding textures and harmonic voices, the work develops to a joyous tutti statement that continues to build in intensity to a glorious conclusion. This arrangement is scored for full orchestra- however, it is also completely playable by string orchestra alone, or with any number of added winds or percussion. (2:30) / Orchestre

for Large Ensemble. Par BORBOUDAKIS MINAS. Z-4383 by Minas Borboudakis is a 12-minute work for large ensemble (1(=Picc).1.1(=BCl).1 – 1.1.1(=BTbn).0 – 2Perc – Acdn – Pf – Str(1.1.1.1.1 or String Orchestra) – Electronics). It describes the journey of the wagon of the same name in which the body of the politician and pacifist Grigoris Lambrakis, also called 'Z', who was murdered in 1963, was transported from Thessaloniki to Athens. In the scene from the cult novel Z by Vassilis Vassilikos, the author lets the soul of Grigoris Lammbrakis fly over the train. Train noises, distorted fragments of speech, as well as lines rising ever higher unfold in the music. Sequences expressing pain, longing, hope and despair return as wordless instrumental quotations, attempting to portray the unspeakable before the soul leaves the body at the work's conclusion. The world premiere took place on 20 July 2018 with the Academy of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Daniel Carter. The score (EP 14315) is available for sale as part of the Peters Contemporary Library. The performance material can be hired. / Date parution : 2022-09-07/ Répertoire / Orchestre

Par HAYDN FRANZ JOSEF. One of Haydn's most famous symphonic movements, this selection will give your students a chance to develop a refined, 'Classic' style of playing. It seems like Haydn included everything in this movement---a delicately beautiful main theme, wild, minor-keyed outbursts, military percussion, and a solo trumpet fanfare. No wonder the London audiences went crazy over it! Arranged with the young orchestra in mind, all string parts are in first position. A great introduction to a too-often neglected style. / Ensemble Music, Miscellaneous, Scores / Répertoire / Orchestre

Par BRITTEN BENJAMIN. The Full Score for Benjamin Britten's Young Apollo Op.16 . For Piano and string Orchestra this is a radiant, expressive, characterful and dramatic work that signified Britten's return to tonality and a fresh approach to his composition. / Niveau : Intermédiaire à Avancé / Répertoire / Conducteur

Trois poèmes d'Henri Michaux was written for the Zagreb Biennale and first performed there by the orchestra and choir of Radio Zagreb, conducted by the composer and Slavko Zlatic on 9 May 1963. It is composed for 20-part choir and an orchestra similar to that of the Symphony of Psalms, though without the lower strings of the latter.Lutoslaswski has said that the general outline of the work came to him first, and only then did he choose the three poems. These reflect his Francophile taste: Henri Michaux was born in Belgium in 1899 and later became a painter: the trenchant Le Grand Combat, with its onomatopoeic invented words, dates form the 1920s- the other two texts, which are more philosophic than pictorial, form the 1930s. Choir and orchestra need separate conductors even though throughout they alternate more often than they combine.A description of the course of the music itself will be more useful than any discussion of its technical processes or of its notation. A quiet section of orchestral polyphony, which brass sforzandi punctuate with increasing frequency, frames the beginning and end of Pensées. After the choir's first unaccompanied passage, the woodwind have a staccato section over which the female voices, singing downward glissandi, are superimposed ('Ombre de mondes infimes?'). Then the woodwind and both pianos join in a lapping ostinato which illustrates the text of the next forte choir entry 'Pensées à la nage merveilleuse?' The climax of the movement comes as these characteristic woodwind figures alternate with the tintinnabulation of a gamelan-like ensemble of vibraphone, céleste, harp and pianos. / Orchestre

Par STORY MICHAEL (Arr.). A must for any regal ceremony. The traditional 'Pomp and Circumstance' has been scored for young full orchestra or strings alone. It includes a processional and the majestic 'Rondeau' from Premiere Suite as the recessional. This arrangement would be an outstanding graduation choice for any level orchestra performing without graduating seniors. A welcome necessary arrangement for every library.

'Realms of Endless Day' is a fantasy setting of the hymn tune melody, 'Picardy.' This melody, thought to have been named for the region in France where it is believed the melody originated, is also the melody for the hymns 'Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence' and 'Christians, Let Us Love One Another,' as well as the 'Hymn of Saint James.' This enduring and tuneful melody is given three contrasting statements that gradually build to an exciting conclusion. This piece is scored for full orchestra by arranger Michael Kamuf, but will work quite effectively with strings alone. (3:30) / Orchestre

This highly recognizable work is a sure bet for success, especially for beginning players' first experience with the textures of a full orchestra. Audiences will love hearing the 'Masterpiece' theme brilliantly set in this solid scoring, which may also be performed by strings alone. The parts are not difficult and the rondo form should shorten the rehearsal time. (2:30) / Orchestre
