Musique de scène-“An enchanted dream” – these words from poet Charles Van Leberghe give an idea of the public’s enthusiasm for the first English language performance on June 21 1898 of Maurice Maeterlinck’s symbolist play. Staged at the Prince of Wales Theatre the play was translated by Jack W. Mackail with stage music composed by Gabriel Fauré. Occupied by various administrative tasks the composer asked his favourite student Charles Koechlin to orchestrate the score in May 1898. The London theatre’s limited instrumental staff corresponded perfectly to the apprentice musician’s ideals of clarity and transparency.Established by Roger Nichols and Otfrid Nies this trilingual edition (French – English – German) is based on signed manuscripts and distinguishes itself through a 60-page critical commentary that precisely retraces the birth of the work. The book presents for the first time the complete incidental music written for the London premiere of Pelléas et Mélisande with the aim of staying true to Koechlin’s original annotated version. Koechlin’s orchestration is equal to the work: a model of clarity and refinement.

London No. 7-The Symphony No. 104 in D Major is Joseph Haydn's final symphony and is known as the London symphony. It was composed and premiered by the composer in London in 1795 and consists of four movements: Adagio Allegro Andante Menuetto Allegro Trio Finale Spiritoso. It is the best-known of Haydn’s works and epitomises the classical style and structure of the symphonic form. Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) was an Austrian composer who became the figurehead of the classical movement. He formed a close and mutually respectful relationship with Mozart and later taught Beethoven but it was his compositions that left an indelible markon the musical landscape of Western Europe.

Miniature Score.This work was commissioned by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. It was first performed on 13th May 1998 London. This piece is based on a genuine old tune 'Maxwell's Strathspey' which the composer found inan 1824 collection of Scottish melodies and which unfolds at the start of the piece on solo cello. Variations and a bold up-tempo to the quick dance we know as a reel ultimately yield to the magic that has been promised right atthe start: the northern lights take over at the end of the piece. Its inspiration comes from a walk to a community event in Hoy Hall during which Davies saw the lights in the sky pulsing in and out of time with the sounds comingfrom the hall. Duration 12 minutes. Conductor's score and orchestral parts are available on hire.

The dramatic music from Evita remains some of Andrew Lloyd Webber's most performed and recorded music. Calvin Custer's arrangement for orchestra includes the Oscar-winning song from the film version You Must LoveMe and also memorable songs from the stage show: Buenos Aires High Flying Adored and Don't Cry for Me Argentina.

Par MANTOVANI BRUNO. Le mot 'Thrénos' vient de la Grèce antique et désigne une lamentation funéraire, pouvant être musicale ou littéraire. Même si certains compositeurs modernes tels qu'Igor Stravinsky ou Krzysztof Penderecki ont donné ce titre à certaines de leurs oeuvres, la Renaissance constitue l'âge d'or des lamentations contemplatives. Généralement, un 'thrénos' est une pièce lente, voire statique. J'ai fait le choix opposé. Cela entraîne ici une célébration à la fois violente, virtuose et extravertie. L'aspect militaire vient de l'utilisation de 4 caisses claires, créant un continuo étendu à l'orchestre à travers les trémolos des cordes et les bisbigliandi des instruments à vent. Le tissage est ainsi dense, même dans les passages les plus éthérés, tirant vers le son blanc, voire jusqu' à la saturation. Thrénos est une commande du Chicago Symphony Orchestra à l'occasion de la célébration du centenaire de l'Armistice de la Première guerre mondiale. Bruno Mantovani/ Répertoire / Orchestre

Full Score-The first feature film collaboration between Peter Greenaway and Michael Nyman made in 1983 following a major series of short/independent films they made together - including The Falls and A Walk throughH. A draughtsman is commissioned by a landowner in the late 17th century to make 12 drawings of his property. Every note of the score was derived from the music of Purcell and was written for the Michael NymanBand. This concert suite which was made in 2001 and first performed in Hanover was specially revised for an all-Nyman concert given by the composer and the BBC Concert Orchestra at the Royal Festival Hall Londonin June 2003. Written for Orchestra and Harpsichord the suite lasts approximately 16 minutes.

Oper In Drei Bildern-This masterpiece composed by Erich Wolfgang Korngold when he was only 23 was one of the great stage successes of the 1920s and 30s before being removed from theatre schedules by the National Socialists. Rediscovered in the 1970s it has enjoyed continuing popularity ever since. The libretto was compiled by the composer?s father the music critic Julius Korngold writing under the pseudonym ?Paul Schott? a combination of the name of the protagonist and the publishing house. A vivacious theatre group comes to liven up the gloomy city of Bruges (here a symbol of death) and the widower Paul is forced to decide between the past and the present.Korngold was fascinated by this symbolic plot and created an iridescent orchestral score washed in vivid colours. A variety of operatic devices are intermingled as if viewed through a kaleidoscope: opulent melodic arias advanced harmonies psychoanalytic profundity and cinematic transitions oscillating between reality and dream worlds guarantee the continuing modernity of this work up to the present day.

Dating from the Autumn of 1828 Schubert's 10th Symphony is arguably the composer's final creative endeavour. Using Schubert's extensive piano sketches - substantially complete for movements two and three and containing the principle material for the movement - the renowned Schubert scholar Brian Newbould has realised the work as Schubert himself might have done. The editor's judicious and sensitive realisation born out of a life-long study of the composer's workings has resulted in a fascinating and rewarding addition to the symphonic repertoire. The 10th Symphony offers a unique insight into the startling pioneering style of Schubert on the threshold of his fourthdecade.

It is recommended that 32 copies of the performance score are purchased for a performance for the producer conductor continuo player Venus Adonis Cupid Little Cupids (x 6) and the Chorus (x20). Minor roles (3 Shepherds Shepherdess Huntsman) are to be drawn from the Chorus.

Orchestral work commissioned by the BBC and premiered by the BBC Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Andrew Davis The Barbican Hall November 1992.Quoting Lindberg: 'After having written a Piano Concerto in 1991preceded by three works for different orchestral effectives (Kinetics Marea and Joy) I felt that I had come to an end with a certain musical expression and also compositional technique. All these works were based upon anextended chaconne principle with chord chains cycling around undergoing constant transformation and being articulated in a very gestural way. The musical paradox and evidently also the challenge was the discrepancy between abrick-like method expressed in a world of gestures (with all difficulties involved in conceiving music out of phrases) aiming at a continuity in terms of progression and development.After the Piano Concerto in the autumn of1991 I strongly felt that I couldn't continue in that direction anymore. I started to work on a project called Corrente for 16 players as a study for the full orchestra version entitled Corrente II.In order to bring theharmonic and rhythmic world closer to each other I abandoned the chaconne principle and based the harmony on different scale aggregates. By combining these scales and by filtering or by enhancing them with additional pitchesbased on more acoustically oriented views of the scales by considering them as partials of virtual fundamentals I was able to work in a rich harmonic world without actually having to do harmonic transformations and progressions.The rhythmic material was based on pattern figures with a rather kaleidoscopic approach of repetition and variation.By combining these pattern figures and scales aggregates I wanted to give the musical expression a 'narrative'sense of streams and directions moving around in different orchestral constellations.Corrente II for symphony orchestra is based on the same material as the piece for chamber orchestra. As the timbral palette and the mass

Urtext edition-This four-movement work with a slow introduction is Haydn?s last symphony for ?Small? Orchestra i.e. without Trumpets and Timpani. However it has long passages for solo Violoncello and is also scored for two Bassoons.
