Par DUBOIS THEODORE. At just 34 years of age, Theodore Dubois became a professor of harmony at the Paris Conservatoire. Whilst much of his compositional works have disappeared from primary classical repertoire, his teaching has had a lasting influence. Having taught successful composers, including Paul Dukas, it is clear that Dubois' Traite D'Harmonie is well-informed. This music theory study guide covers a considerable range of theoretical aspects, from the varying musical clefs to the use of pedal notes, as well many other harmonic devices with expertise. In the preface, Dubois explains the need for his book, stating that it fills gaps in harmonic theory exercises which preceding guides had missed. With no harmonic elements left out, this Theodore Dubois theory guide is necessary to accompany all music studies./ Autre FM / Pédagogie Musicale

Au cours de sa carrière de musicologue, Jean-Jacques Nattiez a, de temps à autre, rédigé des textes de présentation pour des pochettes de disques ou des notes de programme sur des mu-siques du XXe siècle. Il partage sa vie avec Rita Ezrati, artiste peintre amoureuse de musique. Connaisseur éclairé des toiles de Rita, Jean-Michel Bardez a eu l'idée de lui proposer d'écouter les pièces musicales commentées par Jean-Jacques et de choisir dans sa collection d'huiles et d'encres celles qui lui semblent entrer en résonnance avec chacune de ces oeuvres, mais sans lire les textes dont elles font l'objet.De cette rencontre originale est né le présent ouvrage ' à quatre mains ' où l'évocation, par Jean-Jacques, d'une trentaine de pièces musicales apparaît en contrepoint de soixante-huit oeuvres plastiques de Rita. Confronté à ces rapprochements, le philosophe québécois, Georges Leroux, grand amateur de musique et de peinture, se penche, dans un essai particulièrement riche et sensible, sur les modalités de cette entreprise de description d'un art par le moyen d'un autre. Aux lecteurs friands d'art plastique et de musique d'entrer à leur tour dans le jeu de ces confrontations inattendues pour créer d'autres réseaux de connotations et de corrélations nouvelles. / Livre

Capitaine Tobias HUME : mercenaire écossais, compositeur dilettante, virtuose de la viole de gambe, méprisé de son vivant et ignoré par la suite des encyclopédies musicales, personnage haut en couleurs ayant pour beaucoup, par ses propos, attitudes et écrits outranciers, franchi les frontières de l'équilibre mental. ' Nous marcherons pieds nus sur la lune ' retrace le temps de latence du capitaine Hume à Riga début octobre 1605, entre la bataille de Kirkholm et son retour à Londres. Si l'on envisage d'une part la profondeur et d'autre part l'humour (nous dirions aujourd'hui la distanciation) dans l'oeuvre de Tobias Hume, nous pouvons aisément estimer que la musique accompagne chaque instant de sa vie et transfigure même les choses and épisodes les plus terribles. 'À flou, les mots nous ressemblent parfois Comme bateaux échoués en plein champ Je leur préfère mes notes ' Pendant ces quelques jours, peut-être quelques semaines, s'il parle beaucoup de bravoure, de batailles et de femmes, une seule chose l'occupe vraiment : la musique. Eric FISCHER est compositeur de musique, (de la pièce pour instrument seul à la forme symphonique, musique de chambre, dispositif électronique, oeuvres vocales, musiques de scène, musique improvisée and instruments anciens.) Cofondateur du ' Collectif de la dernière tangente ' avec le plasticien Bernard Garo (Ch.) and le comédien FranCois Chattot. Directeur de la collection ' MAIA ' (Musique d'Aujourd'hui sur Instruments Anciens) aux Editions FranCois Dhalmann. En parallèle à l'écriture de notes, il a toujours ' composé ' des mots, disant avec les uns ce que les autres ne peuvent exprimer et réciproquement . / Livre
