Missa Brevis est une messe pour Orchestre d?Harmonie et Choeur composée à la demande du Conseil Départemental pour la Musique et la Culture de Haute-Alsace (Dir. : Philippe Pfisterer) de Guebwiller en France à l?occasion des célébrations dumillénaire de la naissance du Pape Léon IX à Éguisheim. La création mondiale a eu lieu le 23 juin 2002 sous la direction du compositeur et a été diffusée en direct sur la chaîne de télévision nationale France 2. Les différentes parties de cettemesse (Kyrie Gloria Credo Sanctus Benedictus et Agnus Dei) conviennent autant à la liturgie catholique qu?à la liturgie protestante. Missa Brevis peut être interprétée dans différentes combinaisons instrumentales. Ellepeut être jouée dans une version purement instrumentale où les cuivres prennent en charge la partie vocale. En tel cas il est conseillé de placer les cuivres à l?écart de la formation (sur une estrade par exemple) de façon à reproduire l?idée dedeux groupes indépendants. Dans le cadre d?une interprétation avec un grand Choeur les cuivres jouent un rôle de soutien. Leurs nuances doivent alors être adaptées dans la mesure où elles ont été écrites à l?origine pour une version instrumentale.Il est également possible de ne pas faire intervenir les cuivres et de privilégier le Choeur. Pour accompagner de petits ensembles vocaux il faut opter pour une formation instrumentale réduite voire même un Quatuor (instrumentation au choix). Pourl?interprétation de cette messe l?un des choix proposés ci-dessus s?impose. Il existe néanmoins une alternative qui consiste à interpréter cette oeuvre en combinant ces options (vocales / instrumentales). Cela peut être bénéfique tant d?un point devue artistique (variante) que pratique dans le cas où le Choeur n?a travaillé que deux mouvements de la messe. Si le chef dispose de deux formations complètes (Choeur et Orchestre d?Harmonie) il peut varier l?instrumentation selon ses préférences. Àce moment-là il peut confier un rôle d?accompagnement et non de soutien aux cuivres de sa formation. Les combinaisons suivantes peuvent être formées :1. Choeur de Clarinettes (de la Clarinette Mib à la Clarinette Basse)2. Choeur de Clarinettes + Saxophones3. Cuivres (Bugles Cors Barytons / Euphoniums Basses)4. Cuivres (2 Trompettes / 2 Trombones)5. Instruments à anches doubles (Flûte et Contrebasse à cordes optionnelles)6. Tutti7. Tous les Bois8. Tous les CuivresDans le cadre d?une interprétation par un Brass Band accompagné d?un Choeur il est préférable de supprimer l?option 1 (Choeur + Cuivres + Orchestre d?Harmonie) car le Choeur étant autonome. Dans une version instrumentale pour Cuivres il estpossible de former la combinaison suivante : Quatuor (2 Cornets / 2 Trombones) et Brass Band.Partitions pour ch?ur disponibles séparément.

Instrumentation: piano Edition: score Publisher: Eberhard Mayer OEuvres pour piano/Klaviermusik/Piano Music Edition en 10 recueils/Edition in 10 Bänden/Edition in 10 volumes Volume 1: Femmes de Légende Editor: Eberhard Mayer Item no.: fue 4180 Difficulty: medium ISMN: 979-0-50012-918-9 Contents: Mélisande, Desdémona, Ophelie, Viviane, Phœbé, Omphale und Salomé The pieces for piano represent a great stylistic variety. One gets the impression that Mel Bonis may have intended to give a summary of musical development, not quoting historic styles but adapting the past through her personal tone and to translate it into contemporary musical language. The first volume includes an original series of musical portraits dedicated to legendary women, where Mel Bonis explores the enigmatic feminine universe. „Femmes de légende“ A collection we have called “Femmes de légende” contains seven piano pieces by Mel Bonis named after women whose fates have become legendary. They have not always been arranged in this way. The first piece, “Mélisande”, was published separately by Alphonse Leduc in 1898. In 1909, a collection called “Trois pièces pour piano” (Three pieces for the piano), dedicated to the composer Paul Locard and which included “Phœbé”, “Viviane” and “Salomé”, was published by Leduc. In 1913, “Mélisande” was added to the four last pieces for a final collection called “Cinq pièces”. “Omphale” appeared in a Berlin edition “Signale für die musikalische Welt” in 1910. As to “Ophélie”, it was never published in Mel Bonis’ lifetime and we discovered a manu-script in 1997 without any indication at all of when it was writ-ten. “Ophélie” was first published by the publishing house Ar-miane in Versailles in 1998. Mélisande (1898) Written before Debussy’s famous opera, Mel Bonis’ piano piece “Mélisande” was also inspired by the poet Maeterlinck (Mélisande, 1893). These short pages of magical harmonies, of radi-ant impressionist colours use music to describe Mélisande’s hair as described by Pelleas: “your hair and its beautiful light... It escapes everywhere, it shivers, it shakes, it trembles in my hand like a golden bird.” This piece enjoyed quite a success in Mel Bonis’ lifetime. She noted of it “my favourite” in the margin of her hand-written catalogue. Desdémona (1913) The female heroine in Shakespeare’s “Othello” inspired Mel Bonis to write a nostalgic piece with a fairly easy, rather classical beginning, a kind of romance without words, of great elegance and of a deep and melancholic beauty. Ophélie Ophelia, the lover of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, is a deeply melan-cholic character who goes mad and drowns in mysterious cir-cumstances. Ophelia inspired the poet Rimbaud and the painter Millais – each of them created a masterpiece. Mel Bonis too evokes images of water, sadness and death in music for a third work of art. With its delicate and chilling beauty and also with its moments of passion, this impressionist piece - the work which owes most to Debussy - calls for great intelligence when performed. Viviane (1909) The figure of the fairy of the lake is musically described here in a well-structured, many-facetted piece; first of all, the initial dancing theme has an air of the “salon” about it, typical of its time, evoking the fairy’s charm, her smile. Then follow succes-sions of majestic chords and fluent harmonies which represent the underwater castle and the fairy’s power. This piece is easily approachable. Phœbé (1909) The sister of Phoebus, the sun, symbolises the moon, the night, chastity. The piece creates an impression of night. Steeped in twilight, languor and a sense of immense space, the atmosphere is one of unreality. This feeling of alienation is reinforced by the incoherence of rhythm between the two hands. Salomé (1909) Inspired by the Orient, Mel Bonis creates a very original musical illustration of the biblical character of Salome. She is characterised by shifting moods in which slow syncopes follow light glissandos, and urgent, mysterious psalmodies accompany sensual melopeias, where surprising tempo varia-tions lead to outbreaks of violence. With its relatively difficult beginning, this piece is especially interesting from the viewpoint of research into interpretation. Omphale (1910) The queen of Lydia is a female character from the violent depths of Greek mythology. This powerful female is described here with glittering sensuality and Oriental subtlety. The impressive work shows a complex structure both in harmony and rhythm, it is a lively and rich work which calls for much thought and great virtuosity on the performer’s part. “Omphale” was awarded a prize for composition by the Berlin magazine “Signale für die musikalische Welt” in 1910.

Le répertoire associé à la technique pendant 3 cycles d'études pianistiques, répertoire étendu du XVIIIe au XXe siècleA l'écoute d'une oeuvre travaillée par un élève, suivie d'un diagnostic précis, se dégagent ses points forts et ses points faibles. Choisir rapidement une oeuvre adéquate pour, soit conforter l'étudiant dans ses qualités naturelles, soit explorer et repousser ses limites est évidemment un gain de temps inestimable autant pour le professeur que pour l'élève. La présentation certes non exhaustive de ce carnet de répertoire associé à la technique pendant les trois premiers cycles d'études pianistiques est une réponse à un véritable casse-tête que connaissent tous les professeurs d'enseignement musical. Mais ce répertoire peut s'adresser aussi à des passionnés du piano qui ne sont pas intégrés dans un établissement d'enseignement musical mais qui souhaitent progresser en approfondissant les points techniques différents tout en se faisant plaisir, et en élargissant leur répertoire. Marie-Christine GuichotLes 3 cycles1er cycle : 3 années.Le répertoire ici n'est suggéré qu'à partir du milieu du 1er cycle étant donné que la première année est souvent accompagnée d'une méthode pour débutants - le choix ne manque pas, varie en fonction de l'âge, des connaissances musicales, ainsi que des préférences musicales. Selon la maturité de l'élève ce cycle peut varier : pour certains 2 années suffiront, pour d'autres, 4 années seront nécessaires.2e cycle : 4 années (3 ou 5 selon la progression).3e cycle : 2 ou 3 années qui correspondent au CFEM (actuel certificat de fin d'études musicales). Le classement par niveau reste arbitraire . En effet, les élèves ne vont pas rencontrer la même difficulté face à ces différents points techniques. Certains ont plus de facilité dans l'anticipation, d'autres dans la sonorité, d'autres dans le rythme... Ce qui explique pourquoi on retrouve des oeuvres dans deux niveaux différents et parfois, les utilisateurs de ce manuel auront envie de ne pas se limiter trop strictement à ce classement. A certaines périodes, pédagogiquement un élève a besoin de prendre confiance en lui en travaillant des oeuvres plus accessibles. Parfois, il faut au contraire le tirer par le haut .Contenu20 chapitres1. Déplacements2. Jeu alterné3. accords4. Indépendance5. Agilité6. Agilité main gauche 7.Polyphonie 8. Rythme 9. Staccato 10.

Poèmes est un cycle qui se compose actuellement de douze pièces pour piano. Les pièces ont été composées pour être également adapté pour la performance par les enfants, bien que les demandes pour chaque pièce varient considérablement. Toutes les pièces sont extrêmement courte et concentrée. Mon objectif était de procéder à une exploration personnelle de cette 'forme miniature'. Chaque titre est associé à (auto) biographiques connotations de l'auto (tonale), en particulier comme point de départ pour certains de ces mouvements se penche loin dans mon passé. Certaines des pièces sont très faciles, par exemple (Le jour) quand j'ai perdu mon chien drôle vert ou Babu Chiris maison. Ces situent dans une opposition à d'autres exigences techniques spécifiques avec des grappes (par exemple dans une interface utilisateur multilingue, piano légèrement préparé en eins, zwei, drei, vier, les Neun et le passage des mains dans Frida schläft ein). En Heimbach / Allemagne, le cycle de recevoir sa première représentation dans les mains de jeunes pianistes. Par la suite, le travail recevront une répétition au sein du Festival, Lars Vogt, que ce soit joué par lui ou moi-même. Lars et moi sommes encore argumenter pour savoir qui va assumer le fardeau de ces travaux difficiles ... J'espère qu'il décide finalement d'exécuter lui-même!

Historical information about Händel's Water Music Suites is limited, but certainly these works were intended for two, possibly three, parties given by King George I on the Thames River, London, between 1715 and 1736. Händel and his orchestra played on a barge. Since then the some twenty-two separate original pieces have been organized into three Suites and nicknamed 'Water Music?, each having a separate key and likely corresponding to these river parties. This transcription of Water Music Suite II for saxophone quartet has two purposes: to make this music available to saxophonists for performance and education, and to provide in one volume the entire Suite II. The exception to the latter, because of the limits of endurance, is the exclusion of the short Adagio, a brief interlude between the fi rst two movements. Included though are the Allegro, Hornpipe, Minuet, Lentement, and Bourree. These works were originally meant for an outdoor performance, and one of the original intentions of the saxophone was to play in French military bands, also an open-air purpose. The original scoring of brass, woodwind, and string instruments (but no continuo) transcribe well for saxophones. Matching the ranges of instruments of the original to the saxophone quartet was a primary objective. In addition, this arrangement strives to disperse melodic material to all four saxophones so as to make the arrangement pleasing to all the members of the quartet while providing variety to an audience. Any dynamic, articulation, and tempo markings are to be taken only as suggestions so as to allow interpretation by the performers. The musical study and performance of all styles while using examples of composition and performance that represent excellence is necessary for saxophonists who wish to be well-rounded musicians. For the above reasons saxophonists are urged to listen to recordings of the original orchestration in order to learn and imitate proper interpretation of Baroque style. There are currently a number of excellent recordings of Handel's Suites on period instruments, such as (but not limited to) those by conductors John Eliot Gardiner, Christopher Hogwood, and the ensemble Tafelmusik. The Lewis-Clark State College Saxophone Quartet has for many years enjoyed performing Suite II for concerts, ceremonies and social settings, and I thank Advance Music for the opportunity to bring these great works to the profession. / 4 Saxophones (SATBar)

Edition de Gerald Hoekstra In 1597 the Antwerp printer Pierre Phal? issued what was to be his last new anthology of chansons, Le Rossignol musical des chansons for the enjoyment of those who delight in singing in the French tongue. Like his great madrigal anthologies of the 1580s, this collection for four, five, and six voices exhibits a wide variety of secular song styles of the time. Texts range from the conservative and somewhat moralistic to the risqu?nd playful, and musical styles from the homophonic, rhythmic manner associated with the Parisian chanson to the more polyphonic and expressive style of the Italian madrigal. Composers include local Antwerp musicians such as Pevernage and Cornet, Netherlanders working abroad such as Rogier and Monte, and Frenchmen such as Le Jeune and Caignet. Although a few of the pieces had been published previously, most are unique to this print. Table des mati?s :Dedication to the 1597 Edition, by Pierre Phal?The Four-Part Chansons 1.

In recent times there has been a surge of interest in the uniquely beautiful song forms of Roma (or 'gypsy?) music. Its variety, richness and influence have won international admiration, even as the Romani people themselves have so often been the victims of misunderstanding, prejudice and repression. The Romani people emerged in Eastern Europe almost a thousand years ago and can trace their origins to the Indian sub-continent. Their itinerant culture and wide global dispersal have led to a unique richness of musical style which, in part due to the rise in interest in World Music, is now being more widely appreciated. Whether performed in one of several Eastern European tongues or in the Romani's own language, the 21 songs featured here reflect the haunting, diverse voices of a unique ethnic culture. The songs are presented both in print-with melody lines, chord boxes and lyrics in their original language and English-and in classic recordings by the original artists on the accompanying CD. Donald Cohen, guitarist, folklorist and college history and music professor, has spent his life studying, researching and collecting music from Europe and the Americas. He is also the author of Fado Português, Songs from the Soul of Portugal and Tango Voices: Songs from the Soul of Buenos Aires and Beyond . / Mélodie/Accords/Paroles

8 Easy To Intermediate Play-Alongs Of Well-Known Pieces From Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall And Brittany. Martin Tourish is an accordionist, composer and musicologist from Co. Donegal, now based in Dublin. Celtic music is in his blood, for his ancestors were noted collectors of dance music manuscripts dating back to the 19th century. With many recordings to his credit, he now offers his expertise to performers wishing to explore the rich culture of Irish and other Celtic music on a variety of instruments. 'World Music - Celtic” presents material from the Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Cornish and Breton traditions. It makes no great technical demands on the players, but Tourish points out that notation of this music is often 'skeletal”, hence it is important to gain a knowledge of the individual traditions in question and, naturally, he offers plenty of information on performance practice. The collection spans three centuries, from the blind bardic harpists of the 18th century to the international performers of the present day. Tourish accepts that this volume can only scratch the surface of a multi-faceted genre but hopes you will see it as a stepping stone to delve deeper into recordings, festivals and the very communities whence this music comes. 'World Music - Celtic” is available in eight formats, each with complete recordings and backing tracks on CD: as solo versions for violin, violoncello, flute, clarinet, saxophone, recorder or trumpet (with piano) and in an ensemble version for two melodic instruments (C, Bb or Eb), piano, guitar, bass and bodhrán. / Niveau : Facile à Intermédiaire / Recueil / Trompette
