Et vigtigt indslag i enhver revyforestilling har siden starten været sang og musik og her har revyvisen været det væsentligste og mest holdbare element. Der har siden 1850 været hundredvis af revyer - og flere tusind revyviser. Mange er for længst gået i glemmebogen vel nok de mest dagsaktuelle men mange har overlevet gennem flere generationer. Deres kvaliteter har været dels en god tekst en fængende melodi samt en original fremførelse …Blandt Ølhunde og Månestråler er den første samlede udgivelse af udvalgte revyviser fra 1849 til vore dage. Gennem revyviserne oplever vi et stykke danmarkshistorie og da de her præsenteres kronologisk kan de samtidig give et indtrykaf periodernes skiftende udtryksformer såvel på det tekstmæssige som på det musikalske område.De enkelte viser er forsynet med melodi og becifring samt fyldige noter om skuespillere komponister og forfattere. Endvidere er mere end 200 fotografier og illustrationer med til at sætte stemningen og gøre nærværende samling til en ganske særlig oplevelse for såvel musik- og teaterinteresserede som folk med deres kulturelle nysgerrighed intakt.

Par SZYMANOWSKI KAROL. (VII) The Polish idiom appeared in Szymanowskis music in 1920, foreshadowing the beginning of a new period of creativity, later called nationalistic. Before this idiom was realised and such compositions typical of the Polish style as the ballet Harnasie, the Mazurkas, Stabat Mater, Fourth Symphony and Second Violin Concerto had been written, the change in musical thinking and the first experiments in the new language took place in songs. Symptoms of the new style manifested themselves fully in Slopiewnie, Op. 46 bis, composed in the summer of 1921 and published by Universal Edition. In these bizarre songs to bizarre words by Tuwim Szymanowski attempted to crystallize and generalize artistically some primaeval Polish, racial as he described them elements in music. The inspiring factor was undoubtedly the text by Julian Tuwim, abounding in new-coined words and imbued with its own music. It indicated the direction that artistic creativity was to take, and made the full corellation of the verbal and musical layers possible in, as Mieczyslaw Tomaszewski has stated, all the planse of co-operation phonic, structural, expressional and semantic. Based on A. Neuer Commentary to Complete Edition Volume C11 (VIII) Szymanowski did not yield to the temptation of easy over-stilization. Streching out to the deepest ethnic layers of his native musical culture, he made an attempt to mould and suitably fashion a Polish style of musical utterance. This tendency is apparent in the Three Lullabies, Op. 48, to words by Jaroslaw Iwaszkiewicz, composed in 1922 and published by Universal Edition in 1926. In the Lullabies we can find the confirmation of the fact that utterly new atmosphere which, according to the composer, Slopiewnie had introduced into his music, was not a once-for-all phenomemon. The elements of the new musical language, analised in connection with the earlier cycle, may here be regarded as assimilated. These are modalities in vocal melodies (Lullaby I) and cadences (Lullabies I and III), a bourdon effect with a tritone (Lullaby II). However these sometimes sligh and apparently unimportant details recur constatnly, an so acquire the nature of a definite compositional technique establishing a style based in an increasing degree on nationalistic elements. Based on Adam Neuer Commentary to Complete Edition Volume C11 (IX) The Childrens Rhymes, Op. 49, a cycle of twenty short songs by Kazimiera Illakowicz, composed in 1922-23, were a completely new creative experience for Szymanowski. He composed the Rhymes with his 11-year-old niece in mind. She was the daughter of Stanislawa Korwin-Szymanowska, who performed these songs for the first time in Warsaw on 25 February 1924. / Date parution : 2021-12-09/ Recueil / Chant et Piano

Thanatopsis op. 4 for female voice and pian. It is a great pleasure to present, with Thanatopsis, maestro Kissin?s opus 4, an expressive setting of the ground-breaking poem from the quill of William Cullen Bryant. Published in in the form known today in 1821, it is an early example of American romantic poetry of the 19th century. Bryant is today reckoned among the group of ?Fireside Poets? or ?Schoolroom Poets?, names that allude to the places where their poems were usually recited. His poems ? first and foremost Thanatopsis (?A Consideration of Death?) as his most famous ? are rooted in the English tradition, but at the same time show Bryant?s openness to a genuine American language and lifeworld. Evgeny Kissin?s setting is a large vocal scene intensely informed by recitative, which congenially allows the prevailing mood of the text to resound. Our edition additionally includes German and French translations of the poem and an informative afterword about Bryant?s life and work and the genesis of Thanatopsis.
