Par PERGOLESI GIOVANNI BATTISTA. Shortly before his death, Giovanni Pergolesi moved to the Franciscan monastery in Pozzuoli, where he composed his last works. Among these is his Stabat mater - based on the medieval Latin poem. The piece reveals the infusion into church composition of the operatic style. Pergolesi's Stabat mater features a lively declamation of the text and great melodic appeal and expressiveness. Underlying everything is the contrapuntal background that was expected in music composed for the church at this time. This is is the full score of the original version, which was written for Soprano and Alto Solos and small String Ensemble. / Musique religieuse / Répertoire / Choeur

Par SHEPPARD JOHN. Edited by David Chadd The music of John Sheppard, who was about ten years younger than Tallis, dates from the uncertain times of the Reformation and the reigns of Edward VI and Mary. Perhaps his most impressive work is to be found in his cantus firmus responds, which reflect the considerable musical importance that some choral foundations attached to Matins and Vespers on special feast-days in the last decades of the Sarum rite./ Recueil / Chorale

Par PENARD OLIVIER. Méconnu du grand public de part sa publication précoce, l'Anneau de paix de Paul Eluard dit le parcours initiatique d'une foi nouvellement retrouvée dans un contexte d'angoisse et de tendresse alternées, de passion et d'ascétisme. Composée de trois parties, la musique est tout d'abord chargée de dissonances pour ensuite se détendre sur le vers 'pour venir embrasser tes lèvres'. Un contrepoint dense, aux harmonies suaves et délibérément diatoniques, conduit à une seconde partie où la dimension érotique du texte est évoquée grâce à une grande plasticité de la matière vocale, une polytonalité clairement répartie entre les différents groupes. Composés dans l'empreinte sereine de mi majeur, les derniers vers du poème sont chantés en duo par le ténor et le baryton solo, incarnation énigmatique d'une paix où le trouble demeure. / contemporain / Répertoire / Choeur
