Of all his early chamber works the Nocturne is most clearly by the mature Vaughan Williams almost anticipating the influence of Ravel which followed his lessons from the French composer in 1908. In the veiled beauty of its highly chromatic harmonies we hear already the tone-poet of the slow movement of A London Symphony while in the fleet-footed Scherzo there is already a French influence in the way the folk-song is subtly woven into the texture only brief snatches of the tune being heard until the penultimate page when it receives fuller treatment. The work plays for about 10 minutes. The 1904 Scherzo is a vigorous march with fugal episodes whichlasts some 6 minutes and may effectively be performed by itself.

Sentinels is really a long unrelenting march whose pulse never slackens or quickens and in which slightly quirky military-style gestures are almost always present. Butler imagined four standing players to be acting as sentries standing guard keeping watch over the seated cellist.

Sentinels was written for the Brodsky Quartet and John Metcalfe. The piece is really a long unrelenting march whose pulse never slackens or quickens and in which slightly quirky military-style gestures are almost always present.

Victoria Maesta. Par MUFFAT GEORG. Muffat, élève de Lully et Corelli, composé son concerto 'Victoria Maesta' ('victoire triste') en 1689, organiste et musicien de chambre à la Cour de l'archevêque de Salzbourg. Le titre fait référence à la prise de Belgrade au cours de laquelle le frère de l'archevêché a été tué en 1688 - donc la pièce commence avec une marche funèbre solennel en ut mineur, dans la technique du contrepoint élaborée et artistique dans le sens de type adagio de Corelli./ Répertoire / Orchestre à Cordes

Imaginez-vous à califourchon sur votre cheval préféré dans la campagne anglaise en compagnie de coureurs semblables. Vous lope rythme à travers les vallées magnifiquement verts, collines et vallons. Ensuite, vous ralentissez à un rythme de marche en admirant une vue particulier, mais pas pour longtemps car une fois que vous décrochez le rythme. Vous galop un peu plus et puis terminer votre tour avec un grand 'bravo'. Tel est l'effet que vous ressentez lorsque vous écoutez ce morceau. / Orchestre A Cordes

Esprit de Corps was originally commissioned by the United States Marine Band of Washington D.C. Col. John R. Bourgeois conductor. Based upon “The Marine's Hymn ” Esprit de Corps is a kind offantasy-march that serves as a tribute to the Marine Corps as well as to the Marine Band.Composed immediately after the 1983 bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut Lebanon the composer chose to forego an elegy-typetribute in favor of a work that reflects the positive spirit of the Corps full of energy and dynamism. Even the tempo marking “Tempo di Bourgeois ” reflects the dramatic and spirited conducting of Col. John R.Bourgeois who was conductor of the Marine Band at the time of composing.

Par PART ARVO. Arvo Pärt wrote the prayer of peace Da pacem Domine to fulfil a commission from Jordi Savall. He began to set this ninth-century Gregorian antiphon two days after the Madrid bombings on 11 March 2004 as his personal tribute to the victims. Since then Da pacem Domine has been performed every year in Spain to commemorate the victims of this terrorist attack. Even while originally composing this four-voice piece, Pärt made allowances for variable scorings. As a result, it exists in several versions, not only for voice but also entirely for instruments. Wolfgang Sandner Da pacem Domine in diebus nostris quia non est alius qui pugnet pro nobis nisi tu Deus noster./ Répertoire / Orchestre à Cordes

Par OTTO TANNER. Fight the Resistance! by Tanner Otto is an exciting and dynamic march-style piece and was written to highlight the skill of playing closer to the bridge. In order to play the sustained melodic lines forte, students must 'fight the resistance' of the bridge by changing their bowing lane. It also reinforces the low-2 finger pattern (A minor) with a few accidentals. The cellos have very accessible shifting, and all sections get to play the melody. Great for working on staccato and accents. / Date parution : 2022-11-29/ Répertoire / Orchestre de Cordes
