Cette Méthode de Luth Baroque peut vous donner les bases techniques et musicales nécessaires à l’obtention d’une structure assez solide et complète du jeu du luth baroque. Et c’est là tout l’enjeu et le défi de l’écriture de cet ouvrage : donner, au plus grand nombre de passionnés, l’opportunité de s’exprimer à travers le luth baroque, et ce, indépendamment de leur niveau d’apprentissage. Notre livre est destiné non seulement à celui qui n’a jamais joué d’un instrument de musique, mais aussi au guitariste avisé qui veut s’initier aux mystères du luth baroque ! Mode d’emploi Notre Méthode de Luth Baroque est divisée en trois parties. La première partie, plutôt théorique, aidera à mieux comprendre la façon de jouer la musique écrite pour le luth baroque. Nous avons jugé indispensable d’avoir des connaissances élémentaires de solfège occidental mais aussi de la tablature (forme de notation musicale spécifique au luth). Ces connaissances, insuffisantes si étudiées de manière isolée, ont été enrichies d’un lexique des pièces instrumentales ainsi que de biographies de la plupart des compositeurs de musique pour luth baroque à 11 et 13 chœurs. En deuxième partie, nous avons dédié tout un chapitre à l’étude de la technique et de la production sonore du luth. Riche en photos et détails de toutes les étapes techniques que nous devrons franchir, ce chapitre est, sans aucun doute, le plus important de toute notre Méthode pour bien comprendre l’univers sonore du luth baroque ! Ensuite, nous vous proposons 21 exercices, tous d’un niveau élémentaire, mais progressifs, accompagnés de plusieurs pièces de musique. Vous allez d’abord jouer des mélodies pour ensuite ajouter les basses, et seulement après commencer à jouer les ornements. En troisième partie, nous avons choisi près de 250 pièces pour luth baroque à 11 et 13 chœurs. Ces pièces, divisées en trois niveaux, sont d’un degré de difficulté qui s’échelonne du niveau « débutant », « moyen » à « avancé ». Nous avons, tout comme à l’époque baroque, séparé ces pièces selon leurs tonalités et leur nom. Aussi, nous n’avons choisi que très peu de tonalités différentes, afin que le luthiste débutant puisse travailler l’essentiel de son instrument, au lieu de perdre son temps à essayer de s’accorder tout le temps et de jouer des morceaux bien trop complexes pour son niveau. Il n’y a pas de mauvaise musique mais, parfois, il y a de mauvais musiciens ! Faire de la musique n’est simplement pas jouer des notes et réaliser quelques acrobaties, souvent sans intérêt. Un musicien « mûr » se plaît le plus souvent à jouer une simple mélodie et à jouir des merveilles sonores de son instrument ! Nous espérons que cette méthode pourra aider ceux qui n’ont pas accès à un professeur (même si nous leur conseillons d’aller en voir un le plus régulièrement possible), mais aussi tous les professeurs n’ayant pas suffisamment de matériel pour faire travailler, d’une manière systématique, leurs élèves. Bon courage à tous ! Miguel Yisrael - formerly Miguel Serdoura, now carrying the surname of his mother - was born in Lisbon, where he began his musical and artistic career, earning his Diploma in Classical Guitar in 1994. In 1995, he moved to Paris, where he studied the lute with Claire Antonini in the Early Music Department of the Conservatoire Supérieur de Paris - CNR. He also took part in several master classes in his discipline, with Rolf Lislevand and other prestigious artists. From 1999 to 2004, he completed his musical education at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Basel, Switzerland with the grand maestro Hopkinson Smith. As a soloist, Miguel Yisrael has given recitals in France, Portugal, United-Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, China and USA. In 2000, he took part in a television documentary devoted to the lutenist Hopkinson Smith, broadcast by Arte, Mezzo, Classica, RTBF and TSR. He currently lives and teaches baroque and renaissance lute in Paris, where he gives frequent concerts/lectures in the framework of the “Musicien au Musée” program of the Musée de la Musique - Cité de la Musique in Paris. Miguel Yisrael performs on lutes built by Cezar Mateus, Princeton, USA, and with strings from Mimmo Peruffo, Vicenza, Italy. He recorded his first solo CD for the Dutch Label Brilliant Classics in 2008.

French composer and conductor Henri Tomasi (1901-1971) published Sonatine for solo Flute in 1949. As with his other wind compositions  Sonatine was well-received by audiences. Tomasi was born in Marseille but his Father and Mother were originally from La Casinca in Corsica. Despite being pressured into musical studies by his parents Tomasi dreamed of becoming a sailor and during the summer he stayed with his Grandmother in Corsica where he learnt traditional Corsican songs. However in 1921 he began his studies at the Paris Conservatoire and went on to become a high profilecomposer and conductor. Tomasi did not forget his Corsican routes often incorporating themes of the songs he had learnt during the summers with his Grandmother in to his compositions. Sonatine for solo Flute is a highly unusual complex and modern work in three movements; 1) Prelude and Scherzo 2) Pastorale and 3) Finale. This Tomasi piece is suitable to advanced flautsits providing an exciting alternative addition to the instrument's repertoire.

Par DRUEL GUILLAUME. Animaux minute, ce sont 60 pièces très courtes (1 à 2 minutes) pour flûte seule, initialement composées pour la clarinette, et pensées pour accompagner un élève dès le début de son apprentissage, et tout au long de sa progression jusqu'aux niveaux les plus avancés. Ce n'est pas une méthode d'apprentissage, mais une série de 'vignettes', dans lesquelles on pourra choisir un morceau pour une audition, un examen... ou juste pour le plaisir. Au fil des morceaux apparaissent çà et là des éléments particuliers du langage musical. Par exemple, et dès la première page, on trouvera des appoggiatures brèves, et aussi une portée sans indication de mesure... Plus loin une note piquée, une syncope, puis deux... Tiens, un quintolet, tiens, un trille... Là, une cadence, un do bémol... donc ça existe ? Il faut croire ! Et plus loin, un Flatter... quoi ? Ah ? Ici on joue à la croche, plus tard on jouera à la blanche, à la blanche pointée... Ces petites découvertes sont distillées une par une, 'tranquillamente', couche après couche, et elles sont là non pas comme un simple prétexte d'exercice, mais parce qu'elles sont nécessaires à la musique. Les animaux proposent souvent leur rythme, leur chant, leur activité frénétique ou lente ; il y a leur milieu (l'eau, l'air qui ondulent...), leur localisation (l'Orient, l'Afrique et leurs parfums...); autant de pistes que j'ai pu suivre comme sources d'inspiration. Tout ce petit monde, tous ces petits mondes organisent le temps, le remplissent et le vident. Et organiser le temps, ne serait-ce pas ça, la musique ? Nous sommes principalement des tubes où passent des aliments, avec quelques appendices autour pour organiser la collecte desdits aliments. Chez les humains, ces appendices permettent aussi de jouer des instruments de musique. Guillaume Druel Les pièces sont présentées en 3 volumes : Volume 1 (Cycle 1) pièces 1 à 20 - durée 26 minutes Volume 2 (Cycle 2) pièces 21 à 40 - durée 28 minutes 30 Volume 3 (Cycle 3 et plus) pièces 41 à 60 - durée 28 minutes/ Recueil / Flûte Traversière

A rare work for the Lute-based Theorbo. Below is the programme note from the composer.In July 1998 I decided that I would use a theorbo in Havoc a piece I was writing for the 1999 Proms (premiere September 8th 1999). Since my knowledge of the instrument was negligible I contacted David (The Orbo) Miller and appealed for help since I knew he would be playing in the Proms piece. He kindly and with admirable patience showed me how the instrument worked and I began writing groundwork as a technical exercise - hence one meaning of the title. The other is that it is a set of variations over a ground bass.Since the theorbo possesses eight diapason bass strings - whichare plucked like those of a harp not stopped with the left and - it seemed sensible to use these for the ground bass which consists simply of a rising eight-note scale using all diapason strings in turn. This ground is stated at the beginning and developed through 16 variations. Nos 1 to 7 are straightforward except that some of them compress the ground into itself. Nos 8 to 16 are in stretto: they are gradually overlapped with each other the new ground beginning one note earlier each time. The climax of the piece comes at variations 10 to 11; variations 12 to 14 bring it gradually down to earth; no. 15 is quiet and puts the decorated ground in relaxed canon with itself (in octaves using the top and bottom strings of the instrument). Variation 16 strips the ground of decoration putting tight scrunchy chords over it and the piece ends with the lowest diapason string (G) a quiet raspberry ripple of the other seven diapason strings and a final harmonic G to tell us that our little journey is over. I hope you enjoy the scenery.Giles Swayne

for flute and piano- Susan Milan discovered the charming Popp Sonatinas Op. 388 while researching 19th century Flute repertoire in the British Museum Library. These beautifully crafted works are all without exception a delight to play and suitable for a broad level of player. They are a lovely example of Classical style and detailed in a way that makes them a joy to perform and as they are less than 10 minutes long they are a perfect addition to a short recital programme. Wilhelm Popp studied with the great Louis Drouet in the 1850s and wrote many charming works forthe Flute this among them. Susan Milan acclaimed soloist and teacher has edited this elegant edition. Replaces the old edition HE35 from Hunt Edition. First published in Hamburg in 1888. In editing the Sonatinas Susan Milan has tidied some of the articulation making the Flute part consistent. Discrepancies between markings in the Flute and Piano part have been corrected. She has occasionally added some slurs where the lyrical nature of a section might be enhanced and staccati have been added where it appears to have been missing. On the whole expression marks have not been added or changed original markings.

The second of the Deux Morceaux “2. Les Écureuils” is a lovely short piece composed by Henri Busser. Really different from the '1. The swans' this piece is much more cheerful and slightly faster. It is perfect to work on the flexibility of the tone and good training to be able execute more challenging pieces. Starting in D major the piece has a ternary form (ABA) with a beginning in Staccato a slower B part and the repeat of the initial theme for the end. The most difficult part of this piece will be found in the last two measures with really fast notes to play. It will be necessary to start toplay them at a slower tempo to get the perfect technique and then increase the speed. This work is preceded by “The Swans” with a difficulty rated at 5°. Henri Busser (1872-1913) is a French classical composer and Organist. He was a professor at the Paris Conservatoire and a member of the Académie française. He wrote a ballet numerous operas and chamber music.
