For Chamber Ensemble.Commissioned by the Hebrides Ensemble and first performed on their Scottish tour in March 2010.In Seven Pierrot Miniatures I took the Commedia dell’arte character Pierrot as my primary sourceof inspiration. Other more tenuous links to Schoenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire also served as a starting point in forming the general shape of the work. The piece is cast in seven short movements whereas the Schoenberg comprises threesets of seven movements. Although there is no part for voice I have taken seven poems by Albert Giraud (none of them set in Pierrot Lunaire) as points of departure:1. The Clouds2. Decor3. Absinthe4.Suicide5. The Church6. Sunset7. The HarpEach movement takes its impetus from the corresponding poem but in the piece as a whole I wanted to explore the extreme contrasts of the multi-faceted character ofPierrot in a musical setting. There is an almost mirror-like quality to the form of the piece and a sense of ending where it has begun: movements 1 3 5 and 7 are closely linked both in terms of their musical material and asense of melancholy dream-like quality and longing. Movements 2 and 6 are also strongly connected with allusions to the more mischievous violent side of Pierrot. Movement 4 serves as a sort-of pivotal point within the work juxtaposing a surreal shimmering calm with brutal outbursts. There is never any direct repetition yet there is a strong sense of material returning and mutating as the workunfolds.InstrumentationFlute doubling piccoloClarinet in Bb doubling Bass Clarinet in BbViolin doubling ViolaCelloPiano

Par RUTTER JOHN. for chamber orchestra The Suite is made up of six movements ranging from a 'Bach-like Aria' to a 'Richard Rodgers-style Waltz'. Evoking an 'antique' spirit, each movement is based on a Baroque or Classical style. / Date parution : 2021-12-09/ Répertoire / Orchestre de Chambre

Par RUTTER JOHN. The instrumentation for this work is the same as Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No.5. The Suite is made up of six movements ranging from a 'Bach-like Aria' to a 'Richard Rodgers-style Waltz'. Rutter's own style comes through most strongly in the final Rondeau with its characteristically forward-driving rhythms and beautiful melodic lines. Evoking an 'antique' spirit, each movement is based on a Baroque or Classical style. / Date parution : 2021-12-09/ Répertoire / Orchestre de Chambre

for flute clarinet percussion piano violin and cello-Subtilior Lamento is a piece that draws some inspiration from the music of the so-called ‘Ars Subtilior’ movement of the fourteenth century. This early music features rhythmic complexities linear ornamentation and harmonic intricacy. In my piece I use canon to create textures that are at constant rhythmic unrest. Harmonies arise out of linear lines: lines I constructed to work in defining my harmonic world. The piece’s structural rigor and fluid surface are the two elements I wanted to keep in constant equilibrium - Hannah LashInstrumentation: fl.cl-perc(vib chimes)-pno-vn.vc

for flute viola and harp-Three Shades Without Angles is a piece that plays with the idea of transformation of musical shapes. When writing this piece I was inspired by Auguste Rodin’s sculpture The Three Shades a detail sitting atop the sculptor’s work The Gates of Hell depicting a scene from Dante’s The Inferno. Although my music is not representative or depictive of Dante or an image of hell I was deeply drawn to the sinewy character of Rodin’s work its intensity muscularity consistency and the way in which movement and energy is represented in his shapes - Hannah Lash

for large ensemble. Par TURNAGE MARK-ANTHONY. One of the movements in Scorched (arrangements of seventeen tunes by John Scofield for jazz trio and orchestra) has a coda, which repeats a dense, two-bar tag which sounded like it could be developed. Snapshots starts off by revealing bits of each of the two bars (with episodes placed in-between). The full two bars of music are then revealed at the end of the piece. Snapshots is a tribute to Olly [Oliver Knussen] on his 50th birthday. Mark-Anthony Turnage/ Répertoire / Ensemble de Musique de Chambre

Par RHEINBERGER JOSEF GABRIEL. Rheinberger’s string quartets, his string quintet and his nonet for winds and strings were often performed and were very successful works during his lifetime. Their density, but also the delicateness of the scherzo movements are in the tradition of Schumann and Mendelssohn and these traits are combined with Rheinberger’s sense for the clear, defined structure of the movements and solid contrapuntal writing. The octet for winds and strings is published here for the first time and the nonet, which is actually a reworking of this octet that Rheinberger undertook some twenty years later, is also published in this volume. Rheinberger made major changes from the original octet and headded two new movements to the nonet. Both works show especially the interest and pleasure which he derived from the variety in the differentiation of colors in ensemble playing. The Thema mit Veränderungen op. 93, which until now has been known as a work for string quartet, is published here with the double bass part which Rheinberger later added./ Répertoire / Ensemble de Chambre

Par RHEINBERGER JOSEF GABRIEL. On account of their melodic beauty and the network of motivic development between the individual movements, the four piano trios are among the most attractive of Rheinberger's works. All works are also available in separate editions./ Répertoire / Ensemble de Chambre

Sur Les Mouvements Rotatoires En Quarts De Ton. Par WYSCHNEGRADSKY IVAN ALEXANDROWITSCH. Cette pièce est régie par un principe similaire à celle qui obtient dans le ' Etude sur le Carré magique sonore ' (BEL 174). 8 cycles d'intervalle succèdent à proximité et forment une sorte de mouvement octogone qui est érigé et puis démantelé. Le cycle des quintes diminuées arrive à une conclusion qu'après qu'il a traversé 13 octaves, c'est-à-dire au-delà des limites de ce qu'est réellement audible. La requête posèrent est plus apparente au début et à la fin, où la roue moud graduellement arrêter. Entre là sont des passages avec des grappes de ton denses et trilles cordal.
