Les chansons de ce recueil proviennent pour la quasi-totalité de collectes réalisées par les acteurs du monde associatif inscrit dans le réseau de la Fédération des Associations de Musiques et Danses Traditionnelles (FAMDT). À l?invitation de Justin Bonnet, coordinateur de cette édition, les documentalistes des associations implantées dans les différentes régions de France ont fourni une sélection de chansons issues de leur territoire. Les critères étaient assez lâches : représentativité ou rareté du thème, chanson remarquable par son interprétation? Toutes ces chansons ont été ensuite proposées aux compositeurs retenus pour cette édition qui ont fait leur marché dans cette sélection ! Il en ressort au final 23 chansons présentées ici dans des arrangements variés (principalement pour 3 voix mixtes), retenues plutôt sur des critères esthétiques que de représentativité des différentes régions de France. La musique a primé ! Ont ainsi contribué au projet Chansons traditionnelles pour aujourd?hui, des associations ou entités inscrites dans le réseau de la FAMDT (www.famdt.com). Un certain nombre d?entre elles disposent d?un catalogue en ligne sur lequel il est possible de consulter les archives sonores en provenance de leur région (cf. références dans la préface du livre)./ Recueil / Choeur

Waisenhausmesse (C)-This Mozart Mass (together with BA 7520 & BA 7522) have been arranged for solo voices chorus and organ from the Urtext of the ?New Mozart Edition? thereby making them accessible in all their beauty to choruses and church choirs with limited financial means at their disposal. Martin Focke has based the ?concertante? organ parts on the orchestral writing doing full justice to the timbre of the original. The solo parts and choruses of course leave the Urtext of the ?New Mozart Edition? entirely untouched.Mozart had barely turned twelve when he composed and conducted his Missa solemnis in C minor K.139 to inaugurate a new orphanage on Vienna?sRennweg in 1768.This astonishing early work adheres to the form of a Neapolitan cantata mass in which the separate movements (?Gloria? ?Credo? etc.) are themselves made up of self-contained choruses ariosos and ensembles.This frequently heard Mass is characterized by a sharp contrast between its cheerful underlying C major mood and gloomy dramatic passages in the minor mode.Self-contained version with organ instead of orchestra Straightforward and easy-to-play organ part Ideal for church services and concert performances Original version for soloists choir and orchestra BA4858

Op. 147 - Harmony Parts-Diabelliâ??s church music has unjustly largely fallen into oblivion. In his 'Pastoral Mass in F' the Austrian composer of the Biedermeier period succeeded in achieving a balance between artistic aspirations and a form suitable for practical performance. With a duration of about 30 minutes the work is of easy to medium difficulty and is therefore extremely suitable for amateur choirs with orchestra. The 'Pastoral Mass' is suitable for performance both at Christmas time and beyond.

Par VEGA MARK. Al coralista no le falta generalmente literatura coral, pero sí quizás un método que progresiva y agradablemente le introduzca en el mundo coral. Este es el papel del canon. Si la música es la única razón que justifica la formación de un coro, ¿por qmontar desde el primer momento algún canon? Así lograremos hacer música en la primera reunión, en el primer contacto entre los coralistas (Marcos Vega) / Études et exercices / Etude / Choeur
