For solo Cello Timpani and Strings.Popule Meus was commissioned through the Magnum Opus project: Kathryn Gould founding patron and commissioner and Meet the Composer project manager.It was first performed on 6thFebruary 2010 by Yuri Hooker (cello) and the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra conducted by Alexander Micklethwate. Composer's Notes 'Popule Meus is a meditation on the Judaic and Christian text ?O my People whathave I done to you?? but itis also a Universalist contemplation of the wholesale rejection of God by modern man. However much manrejects God he cannot escape Him and indeed he is condemned to the supernatural by his deiformnature. InHindu terms he is the Absolute Ayam Atma Brahma (The Self is the Absolute).In this work the solo cello is the All-Compassionate One while the timpani represent man in his vain andpointless rejection. Although the solocello and strings and the timpani share the same material (four ideas aregradually revealed and they revolve four times during the piece) the timpani music is violent and becomesincreasingly frenzied and contracted while thecello and strings remain still and serene.So even in winning the Darkness loses and even in losing the Light wins. Passion Resurrection andRedemption; or in Hindu terms Atma (The Absolute) alone is real Maya (The Relative) ismerely illusion.'

In Japan there is an old tale whic has been told since before time began. Two of the most beautiful stars in the night sky are Altair representing Man and Vega representing Woman. These two lovers can meet each other only one time each year on the night of July 7th. Living on opposite sides of the Milky Way they have to ride a ship to meet each other on that night. If it rains they cannot see each other because the river of light in the sky is swollen. The name of the star ship that Altair and Vega ride is called Hoshi no Fune. I wante to express in music the pain of these separated lovers.

Think Benjamin Britten's Young Person's Guide but just for strings! Written to be used for outreach or recruiting concerts, this piece is a great way to educate audiences of all ages about the different instruments of the string orchestra. All of your students will love getting a chance in the spotlight as the simple main theme is followed by five variations, each featuring a different section (yes, Violins I and II get their own separate variation!). The piece concludes with a rousing 6/8 finale in which phrases of the theme are tossed from section to section, giving your audience a final review of what they have learned. Very playable and very enjoyable for all! (6:10) / Orchestre A Cordes

Par PEPIN CAMILLE. Ce nonette s'inspire de la série Énergie blanche de Fabienne Verdier. Sur le fond lisse et bleu nuit des toiles viennent contraster des traits de peinture blanche, comme une force opposée. Au fil des tableaux, cette énergie évolue en ondulations nocturnes fluides ou rugueuses, en scintillements légers, en nuages vaporeux ou encore en crépitements. Les toiles semblent emplies de matière en apesanteur et c'est pourquoi j'ai imaginé une musique planante, cherchant un équilibre entre mouvement et immobilité. Pour moi, il se dégage de cette série bicolore l'idée d'une vitalité, d'une force, d'une lumière qui habite le vide infini et lointain du ciel. J'ai recréé cette énergie blanche en aspérités (grains de matière ou frêles touches de lumière) venant perturber ces nappes de bleu vibrant et mystérieux aux valeurs longues et étirées. Mon travail a été d'imaginer des variations de ces deux matière-couleurs grâce à la palette de textures extraordinaire qu'offrent les instruments à cordes. La pièce est ainsi conçue comme un voyage coloré et hypnotique en sept tableaux correspondant chacun à une toile de la série de Verdier. Hors champ est un épisode froid et nocturne au sein duquel de faibles lueurs de lumière tentent à peine de percer l'obscurité de la nuit. Des glissandi inquiétants naissent aux altos et violoncelles en stéréo et présentent le motif qui irriguera toute l'œuvre. La contrebasse émet une pulsation irrégulière et mystérieuse, au loin. Une ondulation douce puis majestueuse s'élève dans Ascendance. Avec l'arrivée des violons, elle traverse la matière sombre en répandant ses faisceaux brillants et lumineux. Turbulence est le lieu des perturbations. L'énergie blanche constituée ici de particules vives et chaotiques se dérègle sans cesse et envahit l'espace. Dans Synchronie I, les violoncelles se partagent le motif fondateur de l'ouvrage en un seul et même souffle, pur et suspendu. Puis, ils s'unissent pour ne former qu'une seule voix et un chant de violon les rejoint. Ce dernier se fait l'annonciateur de lumière durant cette brève accalmie. Mémoires du vent rappelle le début de l'œuvre avec cette palpitation irrégulière de la contrebasse et les glissandi inquiétants des cordes graves. Mais ces mémoires sont aussi l'écho des Turbulences qui se transforment ici en Vortex, dans lequel l'énergie blanche et chaotique devient un véritable tourbillon de lumière liquide. Pour clore la pièce, Synchronie II reprend Synchronie I avec la couleur plus froide et mystérieuse des altos, toujours en stéréo. Les touches de lumière des cordes aiguës s'affaiblissent avant de s'éteindre complètement, au loin. Cette pièce appartient au même cycle que mon quatuor à cordes Feuilles d'eau de Silvacane inspiré par la série du même nom de Fabienne Verdier.
