A work for Soprano Woodwind 2 Horns and Strings.Duration: circa 15 minutesProgramme Note: 'This work was commissioned as a possible companion piece to Mozart?s Exsultate Jubilate and the decision was quickly made to write something as a complete contrast. The poems chosen one anonymous from the early 16th century the other two by the famous Scottish poet William Dunbar [1460? 1513?] describe the promise of salvation after life?s dark passage. Each of the three poems echo this thought: ?In celum ther is joy with Thee? ?A short torment for infinite gladness? and ?Since erdly joy abides never Work for the joy thatlastès ever?. Thus in each poem the poet can overcome the fear of his inevitable death with the certainty of salvation: this work also has its ?dark? moments but the overall mood is one of calmness and peace. As with the words there are several musical motives that link the three songs. The musical motive for the refrain ?Terribilis mors conturbat me? in the first macaronic poem [also a salute to Mozart since the Exsultate is in Latin] returns a little higher and more despairingly in each verse until the last verse where it is played a whole octave higher. This motive reappears [played mostly by the oboes] in the last song but now the pitch of each repeat goes in reverse that is from high to low.

Scène lyrique-Cléop tre - Scène lyriquefor Soprano solo and orchestraThe cantata Cléop tre belongs to a group of six surviving compositions written by Hector Berlioz between 1826 and 1830 for the prestigious Prix de Rome competition. This was administered by the music section of the Académie des Beaux-arts one of the four Académies that constituted the Institut de France during the Bourbon restoration.The text of the cantata Cléop tre written for the competition by Pierre-Ange Vieillard particularly fired Berlioz?s imagination. His manuscript makes it clear that he viewed the work as a continuous monologue rather than as a traditional cantata with discretesections of recitative and air.Urtext of the New Berlioz EditionPerformance material (BA5787-72) available for hire

Par WIGGLESWORTH RYAN. Poème de Berryman, 'Gardez vos yeux ouverts', a fourni l'impulsion initiale pour Augenlieder. En découvrant le sonnet, qu'il devenue immédiatement lié dans mon esprit à une courte négligé lyrique de Browning, un poème écrit pour accompagner de Frederic Leighton peinture Orphée et Eurydice quant à son pendant l'exposition de la Royal Academy en 1864. Ici, dans les textes respectifs, ont été couples d'amoureux reliés par le drame d'un regard, un regard évitées ou un regard consommé. Beaucoup plus tard, je hasard sur un autre, tout aussi improbable, mariage de poèmes. Alors que l'excitation virtuose de l'expérience synesthésiques de Rimbaud dans Voyelles soldes peinture de mot-couleur plus silencieux du Schiele, au coeur de ces deux poèmes réside à nouveau dans la Loi de voir. L'ambiguïté délibérée de 'Ses Yeux' de Rimbaud compense Schiele, plus simple, même si en fin de compte de non moins complexe, picture : son est une expérience de la première personne définitivement - l'expérience, n'est pas surprenant d'un grand artiste visuel de la difficulté à obtenir une franchise similaire dans.../ Répertoire / Soprano et Orchestre
