auf Texte aus der Bibel. Par HAKIM NAJI. Die Taube (The Dove) was commissioned by ”Kirchenmusik bei St. Anna Augsburg” to celebrate the 450th anniversary of the 'Augsburger Religionsfrieden' (Religious peace of Augsburg). It is based on three biblical verses related to peace : Gen. 8/11, Luk. 1/79, Joh. 14/27. The music is through composed and develops the character of the verses with contrasted string textures, putting in relief the expressive vocal line, declamation of light and happiness. The work exists in three versions : 1. for Tenor and string quartet, 2. for Tenor and string orchestra, 3. for Tenor and organ. First performance : by Robert Sellier, Tenor, Capella St. Anna Streichquartett, St. Anna Augsburg, Festkonzert zum Hohen Friedensfest, 8 August 2005. Gen.8/11 : ”And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off. ” Luk. 1/79 : ”To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. ” Joh.14/27 : ”Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you. ” '...to guide our feet into the way of peace.' (Luke 1,79) Words and music bind people together to form fellowships which guide us into the way of peace. Singing or playing together combine bodies and souls, so that our rhythm and breathing becomes one - a sense of belonging to one another is created which instils the very nature of peace. So it is that by becoming an integral part of the music, our feet are guided 'into the way of peace'. In Luke chapter 1, both Maria and Zechariah are carried away, body and soul, in hymns of thanksgiving. They let God´s melody resound in their bodies. Ignatius, one of the Early Fathers of the Church, might have drawn his inspiration from them when he wrote to the Christians of Ephesus around the year 100, 'Let God´s melody resound in you.' The melody of our life is a single voice within God´s great melody; an everlasting celestial melody, in which we join together as integral parts - with time, we are gradually shown which chords we are given to touch and which chords to form with one another. God´s inextinguishable melody has an infinite galaxy of variations. As you would know, a variation is rooted but limitless. At our christening, God gives us a variation - an inextinguishable variation because of his promise, 'I am with you always, even to the end of the age.' (Matthew 28, 20). Deeply rooted as we are, God leads us through. He calls us to Life out of His Eternity, He lets his melody reverberate in us and finally calls us back, when we die, to His everlasting future. Let God´s melody resound in you and guide your feet into the way of peace./ Répertoire / Ténor et Quatuor à Cordes

Collection dirigée par Bruno Giner L'idée du carnet, renvoie à quelque chose proche de l'intime : idées importantes, gestes essentiels, mots clés ou fulgurances sonores?Ainsi, les Carnets du 21o siècle proposent des ' coups de coeur ' ou plus exactement des ' coups d'oreille '. Des ' coups de musique ' dirons-nous, tant pour nos musiciens en herbe que pour leurs aînés, déjà confirmés mais toujours curieux et enthousiastes. Ainsi, la collection se décline à deux niveaux différents mais complémentaires : oeuvres pour l'apprentissage, oeuvres pour le concert.Les différents compositeurs qui contribuent à faire vivre ces carnets partagent - au-delà de leur langage respectif - une grande complicité musicale autant qu'humaine.Si, à l'évidence, le 21o siècle est celui qui nous survivra, le carnet est une sorte de trace, comme une mémoire de papier incarnée par des sons. Cette partition Giner Bruno : Murmure furtif de Giner Bruno a été éditée par les éditions Dhalmann. La référence de cette partition est FD0168. Cette oeuvre d'une durée de 1 - 3 mn est idéale pour les musiciens qui ont un niveau Intermédiaire et pour qui l'instrument pratiqué est Orchestre. Après quelques heures de pratique, cette ouvrage n'aura plus de secret pour vous. / Cordes, Quatuor A Cordes Et Quatuor

Set of parts for Dreamland (2010) for Soprano Clarinet and String Quartet.Text by Edgar Allan Poe 1844. Score: WH31171Preface / Programme Note When looking for an interpretation on the internet of Edgar Allan Poe´s DREAMLAND it turns out that there are as many interpretations as there are interpreters. Some believe it is the mad hallucinations of a drug addict (could be Poe himself) others see it as Poe´s equivalent of Dante´s INFERNO – a tale from the Underworld.One thing is certain though. DREAMLAND is a ”fantasy” the vision of a dreamvoyagerarriving at and staying in a mythical location beyond and between space and time a place of strange majesty and surreal spectacles such as: “Mountains toppling evermore into seas without a shore”. At the same time it is a “peaceful soothing region” – a mystical ”wonderland” not unlike the fabled Eldorado whichis mentioned in the poem.Poe biographer Arthur Hobson Quinn called it “one of Poe´s finest creations” with each phrase contributing to one effect: a human traveler wandering betweenlife and death.DREAMLAND first appeared in print in America in the June 1844 issue of Graham´s Magazine and was subsequently published in a June 1845 edition of The Broadway Journal.
