Thierry Escaich : Ground IIIPour quatuor de violoncelles / Violoncelle / Partition

Artiste: Arpad Pejtsik. The latest volume in this popular series expands the repertoire of intermediate violoncello pupils with some unusual transcriptions. This time the editor, Árpád Pejtsik, has arranged Ave Maria settings (one song and three choral works) for four cellos. The first is a classical music hit, Schubert's Ave Maria. Next is the transcription of a little-known piece from Liszt's vast output, an item from his 1879 choral work Rosario, followed by an arrangement of the first of Verdi's Quattro pezzi sacri, famous for being based on an ''enigmatic scale'' (scala enigmatica). The volume concludes with another evergreen, the Ave Maria from Rachmaninoff's All-Night Vigil. Rather than testing the players' virtuosity, these slow-moving, contemplative pieces serve more to improve intonation skills as well as a sense of form and proportion. The editor has added suggested fingerings and bowings in order to help with the music's appropriate interpretation. / Niveau : Intermédiaire à Avancé / Classique / Recueil / 4 Violoncelles

A work for four cellos based on J. S. Bach?s Suite n.5 for solo cello. It is part of the 'Transformation' series that attempts to transport Bach?s oeuvre into the modern era to convert Bach?s writing into that of today. The work is composed of four successively played parts. Though the sonority is completely different each part is closely related to Suite n.5.Part 1 Densité (density): each semiquaver from the beginning of the prelude is extended to form dense chords.Part 2 Chant (song): a new melodic line emerges from different transpositions of the Sarabande?s melodic lines.Part 3 Tempus fugit: fragments from the Courante pass quickly while the Gigue?s basic rhythmis repeated relentlessly.Part 4 Dans le temps qui s?étire (as time stretches): the Fugue subject from the second half of the Prelude appears about ten times bringing various developments.

Chorals de Johann Sebastian Bach choisis et adaptés pour 4 violoncelles par Odile Bourin. Le présent ouvrage est conçu afin de permettre aux violoncellistes de 7 à 77 ans et ayant 2 à 5 ans de pratique, d'aborder de façon décomplexée et ludique le monde de Jean Sébastien Bach. Les notes faciles et les rythmes simples de chaque voix encouragent le déchiffrage tandis que la richesse harmonique de ces Chorals accroîtra la concentration auditive et favorisera rapidement le plaisir de jouer ensemble ainsi que la satisfaction de participer à des moments précieux. Il sera intéressant de rapprocher les chorals BWV 21 et 270, 67 et 256.
