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 RATKJE MAJA S. K.. William Butler Yeats once wrote a poem titled To a Friend Whose Work has Come to Nothing (1931). In 1960, the American poet Anne Sexton wrote the following poem, as a part of her first published work, Bedlam and Part Way Back. I see it as an encouraging advice to reach the sun. If you never tried, you'll never know. I thought it fitted very well to the trombone concerto and the soloist's determined will to make the music fly. / Date parution : 2023-03-11/ Répertoire / Orchestre

The Bohuslav Martinu Complete Edition III/1/5. Par MARTINU BOHUSLAV. “Incarnation” (1956), Bohuslav Martinu’s fourth piano concerto, follows an atypical two-movement structure. It was composed for Martinu’s friend Rudolf Firkušný, who played from a copy of the autograph until 1970, when the composition was first put into print. The next work, “Concerto in B flat major for Piano and Orchestra”, known under the name “Fantasia Concertante”, was to be Martinu’s very last concert work. The concerto in three movements, composed at the request of Swiss pianist Margrit Weber, is quite different from the previous work in terms of its compositional means. In this case, Martinu strongly influenced the edition of the work. The present volume of the Complete Edition of works by Bohuslav Martinu is based mainly on contemporary copies containing the composer’s own modifications. The edition presents numerous new findings about the genesis of both works./ Recueil / Orchestre

Music from the last movement of the Ninth Symphony. Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. The European Hymn is the hymn not only of the European Union but of Europe in a broader sense. The melody has been taken from the Ninth Symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven from 1823. In the last movement of this symphony Beethoven set music to the 'Ode to Joy' by Friedrich von Schiller from 1785. This poem sprang from Schiller's idealistic vision of men who become brothers – a vision Beethoven shared with him. In 1972 the Council of Europe adopted Beethoven's 'Ode to Joy' as its anthem. The well-known conductor Herbert von Karajan was commissioned to arrange three instrumental versions – for solo piano, wind orchestra and symphony orchestra. Without words, in the universal language of music, the anthem is an expression of the idealistic values of freedom, peace and solidarity which Europe stands for. In 1985 the heads of state and government adopted the hymn as the EU's official anthem. It does not replace the national anthems of the member states, but rather celebrates common values as well as unity in diversity. The score of this offical anthem is exclusively available from the Schott publishing house./ Répertoire / Orchestre

Par BENJAMIN GEORGE. Dedicated to the memory of Oliver Knussen, George Benjamin?s 2021 Concerto for Orchestra premiered at the BBC proms by the Mahler Chamber Orchestra. Benjamin said that the piece attempts ?to conjure a trace of the energy, humour, and spirit? of Knussen. It is varied and dynamic across its unbroken 18-minute span ? skittish lines play against still, suspended ones ? and full of star turns for its various instrumental protagonists. Available here as a full score. Parts available to hire from September 2022. ?A terrific 18-minute tour de force, clearly inspired by the virtuosity of the Mahler CO players, but far from being merely a glittering showcase.?

Par MURAIL TRISTAN. Time and Again tente de rompre, partiellement, avec l'esthétique qui domine dans mes oeuvres précédentes, une esthétique de la continuité où la forme est structurée par des processus se déroulant en un flot presque ininterrompu. Ici, la forme musicale cherche à créer une architecture du temps plus complexe, qui joue de flash-backs, prémonitions, boucles..., comme si l'on se trouvait dans une sorte de machine à remonter le temps. Pour néanmoins préserver une sorte de continuité sous-jacente, j'ai d'abord imaginé une structure 'linéaire' pour la pièce, comportant des évolutions progressives et logiques, et j'ai parfois réalisé des fragments de cette pièce virtuelle, puis, un peu comme un cinéaste, j'ai 'monté' la structure de la pièce, en coupant, dupliquant, insérant, collant. A peu près aux deux tiers de la pièce, le temps s'inverse et s'écoule deux fois plus vite - on repasse, plus symboliquement que textuellement, par toutes les étapes des deux premiers tiers, avec parfois des superpositions, des inserts ou des raccourcis. L'orchestration n'est pas tout à fait conventionnelle - les vents et la percussion sont en nombre habituel, mais les cordes sont réduites à environ la moitié de l'effectif normal. J'ai cherché ainsi une qualité particulière du son des cordes moins volumineux, mais plus intense. Les cordes jouent le plus souvent des parties individuelles. Leur emploi principal consiste à colorer ou distordre les sons joués par les autres instruments, ou à construire des spectres sonores complexes. L'orchestre est enrichi par un synthétiseur (un Yamaha DX7) qui a deux principales fonctions. Grâce à son aptitude à synthétiser des sons par modulation de fréquence, il peut émettre directement des spectres riches identiques à ceux que j'utilise dans mon écriture orchestrale. La composition de cette pièce a donc impliqué d'abord la programmation des sons sur le synthétiseur (un seul son peut produire une texture très riche et n'est souvent utilisé qu'une seule fois). Dans d'autres cas, je l'utilise comme un complément de la section des percussions et du piano, le synthétiseur ayant la tâche d'émettre les sons non tempérés. Time and Again est une commande du 'John Feeney Charitable Trust' pour le City of Birmigham Symphony Orchestra, et a été créé à Birmingham le 21 janvier 1986 par cet orchestre, sous la direction de Simon Rattle. La pièce était destinée à être jouée en première partie de la Turangalila Symphonie d'Olivier Messiaen, pour une série de concerts en Angleterre. Cela explique qu'un auditeur attentif trouvera peut-être quelques allusions à cette symphonie dans Time and Again...

for Violin, Viola and Orchestra. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. There is no reference to the origin, occasion or a performance of the Sinfonia concertante in E-flat for Violin, Viola and Orchestra, K. 364 (320d) because in all probability it was composed in Salzburg (presumably in summer or early autumn, 1779): Mozart seems to have had no reason to write about it. It was apparently in Paris that he first had the occasion of giving the genre of the ; Symphonie concertante his special attention. On April 5, 1778, he wrote to his father: ; Now I shall write a sinfonie concertante for flute wendling, oboe Ramm, Punto horn, and Ritter bassoon. Even more discouraging must have been the fact that he had similardifficulties in Paris in having the works performed as he had in Mannheim. After the organizier of the Concerts spirituels, Le Gros, contrary to his promise, did not include the mentioned ; sinfonie concertante in his program. Mozart had no reason to compose any more for this genre in Paris. After Mozart's return to Salzburg, he might have been eager to introduce the new genre there, especially since adequate instrumentalists were available. Also the choice of the solo instruments (violin and viola) in the work presented here was probably influenced by the popularity of this instrumental combination in Salzburg at that time. - Urtext of the New Mozart Edition - Full score & parts (BA4900), study score format 22. 5 x 16. 5cm (TP176), violin, viola and piano reduction (BA4900-90) available for sale/ Répertoire / Orchestre

Sinfonische Fantasie. Par SIBELIUS JEAN. The tone poem Pohjola's Daughter Op. 49 - a ‘ Symphonic Fantasy for Large Orchestra' - was written by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius in 1906. The story is a variation of Orpheus in the Underworld, depicting a hero (Väinämöinen) who spotted the beautiful ‘ daughter of the North' (Pohjola), seated on a rainbow. The hero asked her to join him, but she agreed with the condition that he should be able to perform a number of difficult tasks & most notably, building a boat from fragments of her distaff. However the hero's attempt was in vain, as he was thwarted by evil spirits and injured himself withan axe. He gave up the challenge and continued his journey alone. A full score for Prokofiev's popular Kalevala -inspired symphonic poem Pohjola's Daughter Op. 49./ Répertoire / Orchestre

Full Score. Par FUCHS KENNETH. Kenneth Fuch's Bass Trombone Concerto places the soloist in the role of a musical protagonist, leading the players of the ensemble in a vibrant affirmation of lyrical melody, instrumental color, and orchestral texture. The workemerges from a serene atmosphere with the bass trombonist weaving fragments of melody from which the entire concerto evolves. The work takes the form of a through-composed extended single movement in four sections (Adagietto -Allegro - Allegro poco agitato - Allegro con brio) based upon the simple triadic intervals of the opening melodic fragments. Versions for orchestra and band are available from the publisher, as well as a piano reduction./ Répertoire / Orchestre

Par TCHAIKOVSKI PIOTR ILITCH. Along with Swan Lake, The Nutcracker represents one of Tchaikovsky's most popular and most-performed works. Based on E. T. A. Hoffman's The Nutcracker And The Mouse King, the piece was commissioned in 1891 and first performed in St Petersberg the following year. The story of enchanted toys and Christmas magic has become a firm favourite, and the piece was the first historically to make orchestral use of the Celesta. As a work of previously unrivalled orchestration, the piece has become vital reading for those studying the development of the orchestra, or important Romantic works./ Répertoire / Orchestre

Par SIMPSON ROBERT. Robert Simpson's Symphony #9 is a powerful experience. There is mystery and a sense of concentrated intensity here carried in a single monumental movement driven by one basic pulse. Simpson composed this work for the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and it was first performed by them, conducted by Vernon Handkley, at Poole in Dorset, On 8 April 1987. This item is the full conductor's score containing full Orchestral score. 'There are few musical minds in the world capable of completing such a large and complex symphonic structure,. . .'
