Nymphea Reflection is a work by renowned composer Kaija Saariaho, arranged for String Orchestra. Commissioned by the Schleswig Holstein Festival, it was first performed on the 16th of August 2001 in Elmshorn, Germany by Sinfonietta Cracovia, conducted by John Axelrod.Saariaho states that the starting point for Nymphea Reflection came from the idea of arranging her string quartet Nymphea. Originally working on a straight arrangement, she eventually realised that this would be very difficult, and she'd need to find a new way of composing that particular piece of music. She designed a formal concept for each of the six sections, imbuing them with very different characters. Her simulation of electronic processing by means of orchestration is an innovative take on a new form, while the effect of the poem by Arseniy Tarkovsky, whispered by the musicians gives a haunting new perspective to both music and words. / Orchestre A Cordes

This gently wistful yet stirring piece was inspired by the demise of a once-grand willow grove as change overtook the region. Perfect to develop a rich, singing cantabile line with long, full bow strokes, and to practice dotted rhythms and 8th-note passages. (3:30) / Orchestre A Cordes

Josef Suk played second violin in the Bohemian String Quartet. Since 1914 the ensemble was obliged to perform the Austrian national anthem at the opening of every concert.Suk decided to supplement this obligatory piece with a work inspired by the ancient sacred Bohemian 'St. Wenceslas? hymn. The hymn's message - a plea for the well-being of the Czech people, directed at their patron saint - was immediately understood by the audience.The Bohemian String Quartet performed this single-movement Meditation for the first time on 27 September 1914 - the premiere of the version for string orchestra followed on 22 November 1914, played by the Czech Philharmonic. That same year the piece was published by Fr. A. Urbánek together with arrangements for piano and organ.This first Urtext edition, prepared by the Suk scholar Zdenek Nouza, is published in two scorings, one for string quartet (BA 9583 - study score TP 583) and another for string orchestra (BA 9584).The orchestral version differs in some details and has an added part for double bass. - First Urtext edition - Informative trilingual Foreword (Cz/Eng/Ger) and Critical Commentary (Eng) by the editor - Two versions published in two separate editions / Orchestre A Cordes

for String Orchestra. Par WHITACRE ERIC. A brand new orchestration of Eric Whitacre's popular composition for concert band, Sleep for String Orchestra is a lush and achingly beautiful work.

Wonderful for teaching Baroque style and bowing concepts, this piece features limited third position for the violins, cellos, and basses. Violas share in the thematic materials with string basses, mostly sharing the basso continuo line with cellos. This movement from Telemann's Sonata in A for String Quartet has been perfectly set by Robert Sieving. (3:20) / Orchestre A Cordes

for String Orchestra Score. Par CARTELLIERI CASIMIR ANTON. Originally composed for full orchestra, the movement opens with a powerful C-minor introduction before turning to a bright, cheerfuland graceful C major. Later in the work, the tonality turns to E-flat, and eventually returns to C minor. This intriguing music is characteristic of the Sturm und Drang movement, with its drastic changes in mood and dynamics, and would make a dramatic addition to any concert./ Répertoire / Orchestre à Cordes
