Par PUJOL MAXIMO DIEGO. Les Suites del Plata s'inspirent de la suite de danses, forme instrumentale très en vogue pendant la période baroque, qui était une série de danses populaires de différentes parties de l'Europe, toutes liées par un élément mélodique-rythmique et précédées d'un prélude. Les Suites del Plata rassemblent des pièces musicales de la région connue sous le nom de 'La Cuenca del Plata', un vaste bassin autour du Rio de la Plata et ses affluents, dans lequel une riche et abondante variété de danses, de formes et de styles de musique populaire a émergé et existe encore aujourd'hui. La Suite n°5 débute par un prélude intitulé 'Desde el aire', moment aérien et léger. Il est suivi d'une pièce urbaine et changeante appelée 'Sarasa' dans laquelle tout est dit, ou rien... 'Gris llanura' (Plaine grise) nous emmène dans la solitude écrasante de la plaine pampéenne. 'Los lirios' (Les lys) est une valse créole inspirée et dédiée à ma propre maison. Pour clore l'oeuvre, nous trouvons 'Candombe final', une danse énergique d'origine uruguayenne qui nous aide à affronter la vie d'un autre endroit.

A Melodrama Interspersed With Music. Par BENDA GEORG. Georg Anton Benda's melodrama „Medea' (1775) was one of the most successful German musical theatre works of the late 18th century. With a libretto by Friedrich Wilhelm Gotter, the work soon became a great influence within the melodrama genre. For several decades, it was performed all over central Europe, developing an impressive reception history. Between 1775 and about 1790, the melodrama was considered an extremely popular (albeit controversial) part of musical theatre, in particular in German-speaking regions. Consequently, Benda's „Medea' was at the center of many heated debates. Unlike opera, the melodrama does not present the libretto in sung form, but rather, the text is spoken and combined with orchestral music and scenes. The traditional opera forms (aria, recitative, ensemble, chorus) are dissolved and replaced by a new interplay of music, speech, and scenes. A focus on a single protagonist and the quick, delicate alternation between spoken text and music allows for the development of conflicting and contradictory psychological profiles with a heightened intensity within the melodrama. Near the end of his life, Benda revised the work significantly, drawing from his experience of real performances and their effectiveness. The changes leading to the new version of his „Medea' music were quite extensive, affecting almost every single measure: numerous details of the part writing (tempi, voice leading, rhythms, accompanying figures etc.) were revised, the instrumentation was changed, middle voices were led in a more lively manner, and the music as a whole was shortened and effectively compressed. The composer regarded the latter, modified „Medea' as the authorized version of the work. The premiere took place in 1784 in Mannheim, however, the altered work received little attention since then and has become tangible again for the first time with the OPERA Edition. All previous editions of the work - and along with them, all previous recordings - are based on the earlier version of 1775. The third volume of the OPERA series 'Medea” contains a linen-bound book and the edirom on a USB stick in credit card format. The number of users permitted to simultaneously use the digital content of the edition is not limited.

Her latest release, Blue Smoke, features new songs and new covers, some of which are included in this Dolly Parton sheet music collection, such as Blue Smoke, Banks Of The Ohio and You Can't Make Old Friends.Bolstered by a momentously fun performance at Glastonbury 2014, drawing the biggest crowd the festival has ever seen, the success of the album goes to show that even after 42 studio albums, she still has the knack for impeccable songwriting, performance perfection and a sense of humour that endears her to millions. With this Dolly Parton sheet music songbook, you can learn 15 of her biggest and best songs, taken from her timeless albums, all arranged for Piano, Vocal and Guitar. You'll get the Piano parts and vocal melody in standard notation, as well as every funny, heartfelt and poetic lyric, as well as chord boxes and symbols for Guitar.
