Finished in 1948, the Concerto for Trumpet and Orchestra was composed by Henri Tomasi (1901-1971) and lasts approximately 15 minutes. Dedicated to the Trumpeter Ludovic Vaillant, soloist at the National Orchestra, the Concerto for Trumpet and Orchestra was premiered in Paris in 1949. The first part, which lasts 7 minutes, Allegro and Cadenza, begins with a Trumpet cadenza and a quiet Snare Drum background. The Nocturne follows as the second part of this Concerto by Tomasi and the Finale, the shortest part of the concerto, ends up with a cheerful cartoon-music theme. This book is the pocket version. Henri Tomasi was a French composer, conductor and winner of the Grand Prix de Rome in 1927. He also composed a variety of concerti for Alto Saxophone and for Trombone, as well as some ballades..

“Mélodiste né, Reynaldo Hahn (1875-1947) était doté d?une voix claire et émouvante qui faisait merveille dans les salons parisiens, comme le rappelle Proust : « (...) la tête légèrement renversée en arrière, la bouche mélancolique, un peu dédaigneuse, laissant s?échapper le flot rythmé de la voix la plus belle, la plus triste et la plus chaude qui ne fut jamais, cet â€â€œinstrument de musique de génieâ€â€œ qui s'appelle Reynaldo Hahn étreint tous les c?urs, mouille tous les yeux, dans le frisson d?admiration qu?il propage au loin et qui nous fait trembler, nous courbe tous l?un après l?autre, dans une silencieuse et solennelle ondulation des blés sous le vent ». Paru chez Heugel le 26 janvier 1896, ce premier volume des Mélodies, qui connut un immense succès, réunit vingt mélodies composées par Reynaldo Hahn et éditées en séparé entre 1891 et 1895 : Rêverie - Si mes Vers avaient des Ailes ! - Mai - Paysage - L'Énamourée - Seule - La Nuit - Offrande - Trois jours de Vendange - Infidélité - Fêtes galantes - Cimetière de campagne - Fleur fanée - L?Incrédule - Les Cygnes - D'une prison - Dernier v?u - Séraphine - Nocturne - À Phidylé.â€.

Fascinated by the beauty of Chicago, Franco Cesarini has translated his emotions into music: this is how Symphony No. 3 “Urban Landscapes†Op. 55, was born, a musical portrait of this metropolis overlooking Lake Michigan. The composition is divided into three movements: The Wrigley Building from Dawn to Noon, Blue Silhouette and Cloud Gates, which by sharing the same thematic material arranged in cyclical form, strengthen the overall cohesion of the piece. The first movement, preceded by a short slow introduction in which the main theme is presented in an almost dreamlike form, metaphorically represents the city at dawn. The sudden change of time symbolizes the start of activities with all its noises and sounds: you can hear the bell that announces the closing of the subway doors, the sound of cars speeding by, the siren of a patrol car. If the first movement represents the day, the second introduces a nocturnal environment: a melancholic melody played by the English horn anticipates a more animated tempo depicting melodies coming from jazz clubs. Powerful fanfares that take up the second theme of the first movement introduce the third movement. In this finale, the role of the two themes is reversed compared to the first movement and one takes the place of the other in a kind of games of mirrors. Symphony No. 3 “Urban Landscapes” Op. 55: a sumptuous musical portrait of the “Windy City”.
