This anthem is unusual in a wonderful way... a traditional Native American folksong decorated with an instrumentation that truly paints a picture of the images of living water and Spirit winds. Based on the celebrated passage fromthe Psalm “Like a deer pants for the water ” and corresponding New Testament passages this haunting music and message would be very special for baptism Pentecost or even for a multicultural Sunday.

for Orchestra Full Score. Par PENG-PENG GONG. “In celebration of the 40th anniversary of China-U.S. diplomatic relations and in hope to support the promotion of Chinese culture abroad, Peng-Peng Gong's (b. 1992) Tenth Symphony, subtitled 'Peking Fantasy' (Op. 55) was co-commissioned by the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Shanghai Philharmonic Orchestra in 2017. The world premiere of the 2018 original version was presented by the SPO in April of the same year in Shanghai, while the world premiere of the 2019 revised version was presented by the Philadelphia Orchestra in January at its home venue with the combined forces of both orchestras side-by-side. Inspired by the artistic power of Peking Opera ?the crowning heritage of Chinese traditional performing arts, the symphony strives to translate the emotional and philosophical experience of the art form for international audiences and to explore the Western orchestra's expressive abilities in capturing the Eastern spirit. The 2018 original version ran as long as 76 minutes, before the composer extensively revised the score down to 40 and presented it in a single movement without pause. The work is scored for a huge orchestra of over 100 players. Main materials that inspired the music are from the traditional Peking Opera repertory: The Drunken Beauty, Farewell My Concubine, In Pursuit of the General, and The Chancellor and the Advisor (lit. Cao Cao and Yang Xiu). 'Peking Fantasy' is in a sweet, direct musical language ...It's a work of highly original sounds presented in a series of vivid episodes.” -Peter Dobrin, The Philadelphia Inquirer Please note: this item will be printed at the time of ordering and will ship as soon as possible, usually within 2-3 weeks. / Date parution : 2022-01-18/ Répertoire / Orchestre

Par BENJAMIN GEORGE. Dedicated to the memory of Oliver Knussen, George Benjamin?s 2021 Concerto for Orchestra premiered at the BBC proms by the Mahler Chamber Orchestra. Benjamin said that the piece attempts ?to conjure a trace of the energy, humour, and spirit? of Knussen. It is varied and dynamic across its unbroken 18-minute span ? skittish lines play against still, suspended ones ? and full of star turns for its various instrumental protagonists. Available here as a full score. Parts available to hire from September 2022. ?A terrific 18-minute tour de force, clearly inspired by the virtuosity of the Mahler CO players, but far from being merely a glittering showcase.?

Paperback-The Rhyme Of Taigu is a lively and powerful work for full Orchestra. The piece explores the energy and spirit behind Japanese Taiko or 'fat drum' (Taigu in Chinese). As a result the Percussion plays a key role providing an aggressive drive throughout the whole work and often in competition with the brass particularly in the thrilling climax.

The Third Symphony is scored for full orchestra constructed in four movements strictly following the High Classical and Romantic traditions with a tragic and expansive overture (Adagio lamentoso & Allegro marziale) a symphonicnocturne (Andante molto expressivo) a light and quick scherzo (Presto) and a vibrant rondo-finale (Molto allegro). The “Hero” in the subtitle does not represent any human figure but to art itself and its failingsocial status. The music is grand and highly emotional containing rich folk elements that strive to prove the unity between an ethnical spirit and the meaning of selfhood. (2012) ca. 32'

Par RAMEAU JEAN-PHILIPPE. Richer than ever – Rameau’s “Zoroastre” in the version of 1756. Opera in five acts. Rameau’s revised version of his opera “Zoroastre”, which could be heard and seen between 20 January 1756 and 26 March 1757 at the Académie royale de musique, was favourably received. Also from today’s point of view the work profits dramaturgically from many of the changes and seems altogether richer and more tightly woven than the original of 1749. The subject matter of the libretto, derived from Ancient Persian sources, is timeless: the struggle between good and bad. The good is embodied by the religious reformer Zoroastre, a representative of the supreme light being Orosmade. He is opposed by the ambitious magician Abramane who serves Ariman, the spirit of the dark. The opera includes some of Rameau’s most ecstatic and spiritual musical numbers, such as the episode of sun worship in Act 3 with the sublime „Hymne à la Lumière“, which, for unknown reasons, was not integrated in the revision of 1756. It is therefore included in Appendix 3 of this Bärenreiter edition. Incidentally, with “Zoroastre” the prologue, wh ich had been customary since the beginnings of French opera in the 1670s, was abandoned. Instead Rameau was the first to introduce an overture which set the scene for the entire drama and thereby anticipated Gluck’s opera reform by many years. Here we present the instrumental numbers for concert performance. - Based on the first scholarly-critical edition, published as part of “Opera Omnia Rameau” - Instrumental numbers in order of performance, but also grouped by key in the list of contents, enabling them to be combined freely into orchestral suites - Published with performance material on hire / Date parution : 2022-11-08/ Répertoire / Orchestre

Légende dramatique en quatre parties-In 1828 Berlioz wrote the 'Huit scènes de Faust'. The work was soon withdrawn but almost twenty years later each of the eight scenes found a place in the Légende dramatique 'La damnation de Faust' dedicated to Franz Liszt. The first part of the 'Damnation' exposes the figure of Faust and has an introductory nature. From the second part onwards the course of action is largely based on Goethe?s drama.Contrasting characters and dramatic effect are of central importance in understanding Berlioz?s musical thought and his compositional process. Magic and fairy tale incantations and ghosts have been the ever-recurring themes ofopera since the Baroque. It is precisely this fantasy in Berlioz's Faust the ?Opéra de Concert en Quatre acts? which comes very close to the spirit of Goethe's presentation.Reliable Piano reduction based on the Urtext of the New Berlioz EditionStraight-forward Piano reduction in the Vocal scoreClear user-friendly layoutFrench original text with German translationFull score (BA5448) and Vocal score (BA5448-90) available for sale performance material (BA5448-72) available for hire

Palle MikkelborgGOING TO PIECES WITHOUT FALLING APART2002for violin harpe og strygereTilegnet Elise Båtnes og Helen DaviesForord l ProgramnoteEn solful d morgentur i Melbourne bragte mig forbi en boghandel der specialiserede sig i 'spiritualbooks' og i vinduet faldt mine øjne på et citat som øjeblikkeligt ramte mig følelsesmæssigtstærkt- og jeg følte at jeg havde fundet titlen på den komposition jeg på tankeplan allerede vari gang med. Citatet lød:'going to pieces ... without falling apart'Tre temaer og relaterede skalaer baseret på henholdsvis Elise Båtnes' Helen Davies' og BergenKammerensembles navne har været afgørende for dele af tonesproget og forekommer både ielose-up ogmere douche i kompositionens syv hovedafsnit.Det barnlige det enkle det her-og-nu naive det umiddelbare kom til at spille en vigtig rolleunder arbejdet. Ikke fordi selve mit tonesprog er særligt meget anderledes end ellers (hvordanskulle det også kunne blive det?) men formuleringen: at go to pieces fik mig til at tænke på 'atblive som barn på ny' atter at være u-bange at turde tro på det enkle.Udover denne- i bedste betydning- enkle inspiration er ønsket at kompositionens kurve kanopleves som en mulig 'meditiations-rejse'; i starten en tro på egen ro langsomt breder uroensig og i lystfulde glimt ser man sig selv 'danse' en rituel dans med åndehuller her og der; ogfristelsen til at rive forhænget væk og go to pieces og angsten for måske at miste sig selv undervejs breder sig. Dog til sidst erkender man at det var rejsen værd og at man heller ikke denne gangfaldt apart men kan se frem mod atter at vise livet sin respekt ved spirituelt fuldstændigt at givesig hen dog vel vidende at livet merciless & merciful med kærlig hånd villade dig'go to pieces ... without falling apart'Men selvklart er mit egentlige ønske: at man blot lader musikken leve sit eget ordløse liv - atlytteren har sin egen rejse.Palle Mikkelborg

The Mouvements Perpetuels is a short three-movement suite originally composed for solo Piano by the French composer Francis Poulenc premiered in Paris in December 1918 when Poulenc was only19. The suite was an immediate success with public and performers and it remains one of the composer's most popular works.Each of the three pieces in the suite ends inconclusively leaving the music unresolved to lingerin our ears and minds. The suite takes about five minutes in performance. The light-hearted miniature is adapted here for an ensemble of 9 instruments Flute Oboe Clarinet Bassoon Horn Violin Viola Cello C Bass whichgives it more dimension and makes it even more interesting.Francis Poulenc was a French composer and pianist. In his early works Poulenc became known for his high spirits and irreverence. During the 1930sa much more serious side to his nature emerged particularly in the religious music he composed from 1936 onwards which he alternated with his more light-hearted works.
