Pour Quintette de Vents. Par TOMASI HENRI. French composer and conductor, Henri Tomasi (1901-1971) published Five Secular and Sacred Dances for Wind Quintet in 1963. As with his other wind compositions, Five Secular and Sacred Dances was well-received by audiences. Tomasi was born in Marseille, but his Father and Mother were originally from La Casinca in Corsica. Despite being pressured into musical studies by his parents, Tomasi dreamed of becoming a sailor, and during the summer, he stayed with his Grandmother in Corsica where he learnt traditional Corsican songs. However, in 1921, he began his studies at the Paris Conservatoire and wenton to become a high profile composer and conductor. Tomasi did not forget his Corsican routes, often incorporating themes of the songs he had learnt during the summers with his Grandmother in to his compositions. Five Secular and Sacred Dances is a reduction arrangement of his work of the same name for Chamber Orchestra. Comprising five movements; 1) Rural Dance, 2) Secular Dance, 3) Sacred Dances, 4) Bridal Dance, and 5) Warrior Dances, Five Secular and Sacred Dances is one of three Wind Quintets by the composer. This Tomasi piece is suitable to an advanced Wind Quintet, providing an exciting alternative addition to the ensemble repertoire./ Répertoire / Quintette à vent

String Quartet #3 was written for, and first performed by the Balanescu Quartet, February 1990 at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, London. Duration 16 minutes. A score is available on sale.. Quoting composer: In the summer of 1989 I composed a choral work, Out of the Ruins , for Agnieszka Piotrowska's BBC2 documentary which dealt with the physical and emotional responses of some inhabitants of Leninakhan to the earthquake which devastated Armenia the previous December. When he heard the recording of the work that I made with the Holy Echmiadzin Chorus under the fervent conducting of Khoren Meykhanejian, Alex Balanescu suggested turning Out of the Ruins into a string quartet. There seemed no reason or opportunity to do this until I felt the need to add to the intensity of my experiences in Armenia the no less profound experience of witnessing the images of the Romanian revolution on television during the later part of December 1989. The compositional procedure was as follows: to take Out of the Ruins as a template on which the Romanian vocal or instrumental music would be superimposed, quite often stretched into new intervallic shapes though the demands of the completely performed harmonic structure. / Quatuor A Cordes

a 6 et a 8. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. The Serenade in E-flat, K. 375, exists in two versions, one for two clarinets, two horns and two bassoons, and another for the same forces plus two oboes, forming an octet. From Mozart himself we know a fair amount about the occasion that led to the first, six-instrument version of this work and about its early performances. Written for the sister-in-law of the court painter Hickl, it probably originated toward the end of September or the beginning of October in 1781 and was first performed on 15 October, the name-day of St. Theresa. The octet version probably arose in the summer of the following year. It is far more than a mechanical expansion of the sextetwith the oboes merely reinforcing the clarinets colla parte. Not only did Mozart take advantage of the occasion to make changes in the articulation and the dynamics, he also altered the work's melodic substance and formal design. The two additional high-register instruments allowed him to achieve more subtle distinctions and gradations of timbre, thereby enabling him, for example, to vary the timbral homogeneity of the two clarinets. The opportunity arose to divide melodic phrases among the clarinets and oboes or to make them more brilliant and incisive by doubling them at the unison or octave. - Urtext of the New Mozart Edition - Parts sextet version (BA5333), octet version (BA5334) and study score both versions format 22. 5 x 16. 5cm (TP315) available for sale/ Répertoire / Partition de Poche

Debussy?s Première Rhapsodie is one of two concertante works completed, premiered and published during his lifetime. He was commissioned to write it in 1909 for the final examination at the Paris Conservatoire in 1910. Debussy orchestrated it in the summer of 1911. While transferring the clarinet part from the already published version for clarinet and piano, he made a few subtle changes, particularly in m. 201, which has been a bone of contention among clarinettists for over a century. The present scholarly-critical publication is the first Urtext edition of the orchestral version. It draws on every known source and takes into account a previously ignored source that sheds new light on the piece. ? First Urtext edition of the orchestral version ?

Dramatic poem for Soloists, Choir and Orchestra. Par GADE NIELS WILHELM. Gade composed the cantata ?The Crusaders? op. 50 for soloists, choir and orchestra (termed as ?Dramatic Poem? in the original print) in the summer of 1865; it was premiered on 24 April 1866. Together with the cantatas ?Kalanus? and ?Zion? written later, the work constitutes, in Gade?s understanding, a ?kind of trilogy? which centers on different manifestations of the ?longing for the true light?. The libretto of ?The Crusaders? by Carl Andersen is based on motives from Torquato Tasso?s ?Jerusalem Delivered? and spreads these over three sections which themselves are subdivided multiple times: I In the Desert ? II Armida - III Towards Jerusalem./ Répertoire / Chant et Orchestre

1. Emerald Isle (Île d?émeraude), cette première partie met en vedette la verdoyante île d?Irlande et son riche patrimoine de musique folklorique traditionnelle. Elle s?ouvre avec « My Lodging Is on the Cold Ground », un air également connu sous le titre « Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms » (mesures 5-24). Vient ensuite un autre air célèbre, « The Minstrel Boy » (mesures 29-44), lui-même suivi de « The Groves of Blarney », peut être mieux connu sous le titre « The Last Rose of Summer » (mesures 53-68). Chaque air est annoncé par une courte introduction et s?achève avec une courte conclusion. 2. Old Kentucky Memories (Souvenirs du vieux Kentucky), après une introduction de 14 mesures, toute l?attention se porte sur la chanson « My Old Kentucky Home ». A fil de la pièce, des fragments de souvenirs fugaces émergent, disparaissant aussi vite qu?ils se présentent : cette impression est créée par le biais de courts motifs et thèmes empruntés à d?autres chansons. On les entend brièvement puis ils s?estompent, comme de lointains souvenirs du vieux Kentucky, jusqu?à une reprise de l?introduction pour conclure la pièce. 3. Uppland, est une province suédoise aux riches traditions musicales, tout comme l?ensemble de la Suède, qui compte de nombreuses danses et chansons. Beaucoup sont en tonalité mineure, et cette partie en comprend trois. La première est « Svensk folkvisa » (mesures 1-38), qui est suivie de « ?Värmlandsvisan » (mesures 39-67), et la pièce s?achève avec « Vexelsang » (mesure 68 jusqu?à la fin). 4. Ratatouille, cette dernière partie ne comprend pas d?air provenant d?un seul pays. C?est un méli-mélo, une « ratatouille » de trois chansons folkloriques sans aucun lien. Il y a d?abord une chanson russe, « Le Rossignol » (mesures 1-30), puis « Sakura », originaire du Japon (mesures 31-58) et, enfin, « Waltzing Matilda », venue d?Australie (mesure 59 jusqu?à la fin). La chanson russe est d?Alexander Alyabyev (1787-1851), mais nous ignorons les auteurs des deux autres chansons./ Recueil / 4 Parties variables de Vents et Percussion
