With its simple, memorable melody and folk-song style, You Are My Sunshine is undoubtedly one of America’s most successful old-time music love songs. Its success in the 1940s massively boosted the popularity of the song’s singer and guitarist, Jimmie Davis and Charles Mitchell, so much so that it helped to springboard Davis’ political career, culminating in his successful election as Governor of Louisiana in 1944. Dezaire’s skilful arrangement retains the quintessential country sound of the original with this new string quartet orchestration.

You Are My Sunshine is een liefdesliedje in de Amerikaanse old-time-muziektraditie met een eenvoudige, volksliedachtige en bijzonder aanstekelijke melodie. Zanger Jimmie Davis en gitarist Charles Mitchell werden er in de jaren 1940 enorm populair mee. Het succes gaf Davis zelfs een beslissende boost in zijn politieke carrière, die hij bekroonde met zijn verkiezing tot gouverneur van de Amerikaanse staat Louisiana. Nico Dezaire heeft met dit arrangement de kenmerkende countrysound van het origineel op vakkundige wijze bewerkt voor strijkkwartet.

You Are My Sunshine ist ein Lovesong in der Tradition der US-amerikanischen Old-Time Music, dessen einfache, volksliedartige Melodie sich sofort einprägt. Sänger Jimmie Davis und Gitarrist Charles Mitchell erlangten mit diesem Titel in den 1940er-Jahren eine enorme Popularität. Bei Davis beflügelte dieser Erfolg sogar maßgeblich seine politische Karriere, die er mit seiner Wahl zum Gouverneur des US-Bundesstaats Louisiana krönen konnte. Nico Dezaire setzt in seiner Bearbeitung den typischen Country-Sound des Originals gekonnt auf eine Streichquartett-Besetzung um.

You Are My Sunshine est une chanson d’amour dans la tradition de la Old-time music américaine, dont la mélodie simple aux résonnances folkloriques reste dans la tête. Gr ce ce titre, le chanteur Jimmie Davis et le guitariste Charles Mitchell connurent une immense popularité dans les années 1940. Pour Davis, ce succès donna même un tournant déterminant sa carrière politique puisqu’il fut élu gouverneur de l’État de Louisiane. Dans son arrangement pour quatuor cordes, Nico Dezaire transpose avec talent les sonorités country caractéristiques de l’original.

It was the practice of Khoomii (throat singing) - following several workshops with Michael Ormiston - that first attracted me to Tuvan music. Composing this Songbook, the first in a series commissioned by the Ligeti Quartet, I took the chance to reflect on compositional questions around transcription and arrangement of existing music, and frequently found myself asking: where is the boundary between the source material and the new substance? Of course the relationship varies from piece to piece, and moment to moment: sometimes we seem to glimpse the pure source, but most of the time there are differing degrees of distance, working towards or away from it. This new version for string orchestra corresponds closely to the original quartet version, with an additional part for double basses.The traditional Tuvan songs that I have transcribed and recomposed are all known to me from the Ay Kherel CD The Music of Tuva: Throat Singing and Instruments from Central Asia (2004, Arc Music). According to the notes from that CD, this is what the songs are about:1. Dyngylday: If you have come on a horse in blue, it doesn't mean that you are the best. My heart tells me something else: my sweetheart doesn't have such a beautiful horse, but he is my darling.An alternative interpretation from Alash Ensemble (alashensemble.com): The word dyngylday is a nonsense term with no translation. The song makes good-humored fun of somebody for being a good-for-nothing.2. Eki Attar (The Best Steeds): The horse is the basis of our life. It is a magic creature. Even its step is full of music and rhythm. You may not be a horse rider, but when you hear this song you will always remember horses.3. Kuda Yry: This wedding song glorifies the strength of the groom and the beauty of his Horse.4. Ezir-Kara ('Black Eagle'): This was the name of a horse, who became a legend through his remarkable strength and speed.It is not just overtones that abound here: there are galloping rhythms aplenty, and though I am no horse rider I tried to keep the horses galloping in my imagination while composing these pieces.Christian Mason (with quotes from Ay Kherel and Alash Ensemble)

In the entire history of pop and rock, no band has so dominated the music scene as original brit-poppers the Beatles did in the 1960s. For this medley for string quartet, four songs were selected that show the musical range of the Fab Four: from the powerful Help! through the romantic evergreen Yesterday and the rock classic A Hard Dayâ??s Night to the passionate anthem All You Need Is Love.

In de Pop and Rock geschiedenis heeft geen enkele ander band de muziekscene zo gedomineerd als The Beatles tijdens de jaren zestig. In deze medley voor strijkkwartet zijn vier songs geselecteerd die de muzikale verscheidenheid van de Fab Four goed weerspiegelen: van het krachtige Help! via de romantische evergreen Yesterday en de rockklassieker A Hard Dayâ??s Night tot het hartstochtelijke All You Need Is Love.

In der gesamten Geschichte der Pop- und Rockmusik gab es keine andere Band, die die Musikszene so beherrscht hat, wie es bei der britischen Popband The Beatlesâ?? in den 1960er Jahren der Fall war. Für dieses Medley für Streichquartett wurden vier Stücke ausgewählt, welche die musikalische Bandbreite der Fab Fourâ?? (berühmten Vierâ??) zeigen: vom mitreiÃ?enden Help! über den klassischen Evergreen Yesterday und den Rock-Klassiker A Hard Dayâ??s Night bis hin zu der leidenschaftlichen Hymne All You Need Is Love.

Dans lâ??histoire du pop et du rock, aucun groupe nâ??a autant marqué les esprits que le groupe de Britpop The Beatles dans les années 1960. Ce medley pour quatuor cordes regroupe quatre chansons représentant lâ??individualité de ces quatre musiciens : du puissant Help ! en passant par le romantique Yesterday et le classique du rock A Hard Dayâ??s Night jusquâ?? lâ??hymne All You Need Is Love.
