La création d'un outil pédagogique réunissant plusieurs aspects du répertoire vocal de la 'musique d'aujourd'hui' est la motivation première du présent recueil. Réunissant plusieurs générations de compositeurs, ces Vocales d'aujourd'hui tracent en effet un parcours à la fois initiatique et modestement historique d'un répertoire appelé musique contemporaine ou, plus récemment, musique d'aujourd'hui. La postérité l'appellera peut-être autrement, eu égard au recul qu'elle pourra avoir sur un parcours musical aussi riche que différencié.Dans les pièces ici rassemblées, l'exercice de la voix chantée, à travers des climats sonores variés, se mêle à diverses formes de parlato, lesquelles, du recitar cantando au Sprechgesang d'un rap 'viennois', traversent les nombreux répertoires vocaux, tous styles confondus, et incitent à la recherche d'émissions variées et audacieuses. / Chant/Vocal/Choeur / Partition + Cd

Ed. critica di C. Toscani - Riduzione per canto e pianoforte-Based on the anonymous recasting of a libretto derived in turn from La fede tradita e vendicata by Francesco Silvani (1705) Il prigionier superbo by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi was first performed on 5 September 1733 at the Teatro di San Bartolomeoin Naples. With this opera ? his second dramma serio for San Bartolomeo in less than two years ? the young composer (who had already acquired considerable professional stature in the city?s theatres churches and aristocratic circles) reprised aperennially popular subject centered around the dramatic conflict between filial piety and devotion to one?s betrothed. Inserted between the opera?s three acts were the intermezzi of La serva padrona which would soon go on to take all of Europe bystorm.The primary source for this edition is a manuscript copy of the score currently housed in the Conservatorio di Musica ?San Pietro a Majella? in Naples and prepared by Giuseppe Sigismondo who was quite probably working from the now-lost autograph.Two other significant manuscript copies of the score also housed in Naples (respectively in the Biblioteca Oratoriana dei Girolamini and the aforementioned conservatory) were consulted along with a number of manuscript copies of individual arias.

Par FAITH REBECCA. In this collection we have gathered fifty Christmas Carols from around the world carefully arranging them for Voice and Piano. Each piano accompaniment is playable by a competent pianist, and there are additional optional harmonies added to the vocal part for choral use if desired. Every country puts its own unique cultural stamp on celebrating the holiday season and this volume can be used to explore those celebrations as part of a wider exploration of the World of Christmas. To this end we have included interesting Christmas related facts, a translation of the text, and both versions where they exist, so each anthem can be easily sung and understood, or compared. Ideal for use in the classroom, or by choirs, and provides wonderful presentational opportunities for themed Christmas concerts. / Choral Music, Songbooks / Recueil / Voix et Piano
