A work for Soprano Woodwind 2 Horns and Strings.Duration: circa 15 minutesProgramme Note: 'This work was commissioned as a possible companion piece to Mozart?s Exsultate Jubilate and the decision was quickly made to write something as a complete contrast. The poems chosen one anonymous from the early 16th century the other two by the famous Scottish poet William Dunbar [1460? 1513?] describe the promise of salvation after life?s dark passage. Each of the three poems echo this thought: ?In celum ther is joy with Thee? ?A short torment for infinite gladness? and ?Since erdly joy abides never Work for the joy thatlastès ever?. Thus in each poem the poet can overcome the fear of his inevitable death with the certainty of salvation: this work also has its ?dark? moments but the overall mood is one of calmness and peace. As with the words there are several musical motives that link the three songs. The musical motive for the refrain ?Terribilis mors conturbat me? in the first macaronic poem [also a salute to Mozart since the Exsultate is in Latin] returns a little higher and more despairingly in each verse until the last verse where it is played a whole octave higher. This motive reappears [played mostly by the oboes] in the last song but now the pitch of each repeat goes in reverse that is from high to low. The famous motive of the Gregorian chant Dies Irae [representing death] is used to accompany the prayer of the second song. A musical motive for the joy of Paradise appears in the second song ?A free choice given to Paradise or Hell?. There is also a ubiquitous 3-note chordal cluster which is used to illustrate the words: sometimes as a colour and

L'univers poétique de Rainer-Maria Rilke , avec sa ferveur, son élan visionnaire presque mystique et son exceptionnelle musicalité, a toujours trouvé de profondes résonances dans l'esprit de Gérard Hilpipre, Les quatre lieder de ce cycle mettent en musique des extraits de la Première Elégie de Duino (mouvements I et II) ainsi que deux Sonnets à Orphée (mouvements III et IV), La partie vocale comme le traitement de l'orchestre visent à traduire cette frémissante sensibilité dans une écriture d'une grande concentration, I - ' Wer wenn ich schriee,,, ' (extrait de la 1ère Elégie de Duino) 08:00II - ' Stimmen, Stimmen, Höre, mein Herz,,, ' (extrait de la 1ère Elégie de Duino) 05:30III - Atmen, du unsichtbares Gedicht !

Brian Elias 'Peroration' arranged for solo Soprano.Peroration was written in 1973 in response to a commission from Jane Manning to whom the work is dedicated. It was stimulated by a few lines from Robert Browning’s‘Dominus Hyacinthus de Archangelis’ (The Ring and the Book). The poem recounts the trial of a certain Count Guido Francdeschini who murdered his adulterous wife and his daughter to preserve his honour. The extracted lines fromthe conclusion of Count Guido’s defence are in the form of peroration. The use of Latin words and phrases so immediately followed by the English as to give the impression of simultaneous translation gave the composer the ideafor the musical form namely two almost simultaneous parts. The first and last sections of the piece contain a third part which acts as a kind of commentary. The different parts move between the English and Latin freely.

Nicola Vaccai's Practical Vocal Method (Soprano Or Tenor) is complete and scrupulous providing an ideal preparation for a certain type of 'pre-Rossinian vocalism' which is attracting renewed interest. This edition is a critical and technical revision of the composer's original work by Elio Battaglia.The completeness and centrality of Vaccai's method is further demonstrated by the practical examples on the accompanying CD. The CD contains a recording of the whole method for both female and male voice.
