Par VILLETTE PIERRE. This edition of Salve Regina by Pierre Villette is a version of this Marian hymn for SATB a cappella. It's written with lyrics in Latin and should be sung at a slow tempo (52). The lyrical piece features a long introduction followed by the Soprano solo and a finale. At the end of the solo, the voices alternate between the initial tempo and some slower parts to arrive to the close and finish in harmony. Pierre Villette (1926-1998) was a French composer of choral and instrumental music. Strongly influenced by Catholicism, his musical heritage ran from Faure to Messiaen. / Musique religieuse / Répertoire / Choeur Mixte a Cappella

Par HERZOGENBERG HEINRICH VON. The four Sacred songs op. 89 for high voice, violin and organ were composed in 1895, when Heinrich von Herzogenberg was Professor of Composition at the Berlin Conservatory. They are dedicated to Anna Schulze, who was a colleague of Herzogenberg at the Conservatory which was headed by Joseph Joachim. Perhaps Herzogenberg’s choice of instruments for these songs was guided by his personal connection with both of his colleagues. In the religious sphere he achieved a unique transformation of the art song, represented not only by the organ accompaniment but also by the older, symbolic connotation of the violin as an angel’s instrument./ Répertoire / Choeur Mixte a Cappella

Par SINGIER JEAN-MARC. Cette oeuvre, commande d'état pour l'ensemble vocal 'Musicatreize', est composée à partir du texte du Psaume 68/67 de la Bible. Le projet (écrire une musique sur l' 'Exsurgat Deus') a été suscité par mon ami Jean Duron (du Centre de Musique Baroque de Versailles) alors que nous fêtions l'anniversaire de feue Denise Launay (éminente spécialiste du compositeur Etienne Moulinié) et pour laquelle nous avions tenté d'interpréter, l' 'Exsurgat Deus' de ce même Moulinié, lors de cette amicale assemblée. Le texte est chanté en hébreu, en latin et, pour une toute petite partie, en grec. Il s'agit du 'Deus exsurgat...' dont l'incipit, seul, est ici mis en musique. Ce psaume, parmi les plus longs des psaumes dits 'historiques', raconte l'histoire d'Israël. La numérotation '68/67' renvoie à la classification qui oppose la version grecque (dite 'des septantes') à celle de la Vulgate de saint Jérôme. Les termes 'cantilène', 'organum', 'antiphonie','psalmodie' évoquent quelques-uns des moyens techniques mis en oeuvre pour la composition de ce psaume.

Par VILLETTE PIERRE. Composed by Pierre Villette, Ave Verum, Op. 3 is a Eucharistic hymn for SATB choral a cappella. Dedicated to the Chapel Master at Rouen Cathedral, Sir Canon Delestre, this piece is highly lyrical and melodious. Written in Latin, its tempo is quite slow (52) and it includes numerous harmonies as well as some short exchanges between the voices. The polytonal aspects are probably the most difficult part of the singing and the actual title means 'Hail, True Body', the main lyrics glorify Jesus. Another music setting of this hymn was composed by Mozart. Pierre Villette (1926-1998) was a French composer ofchoral and instrumental music. Strongly influenced by Catholicism, his musical heritage ran from Faure to Messiaen. / Musique religieuse / Répertoire / Choeur Mixte a Cappella
