Par BAEYENS AUGUST. August Louis Baeyens received his musical training at the Royal Flemish Music Conservatory in Antwerp, studying solfège, viola, and harmony. As a composer, Baeyens developed chiefly through the study of composers such as Debussy, Wagner and Strauss - this interest gave him the reputation of a revolutionary within the confines of the very traditionalist conservatory. However, this was not where Baeyens' exploration of musical language was to end. The 1956 Piranesi Suite for flute and cello, written three decades after Baeyens' graduation from the Flemish Conservatory, marks an intriguing phase of his composition. Baeyens tended towards older forms - the Suite, for example, is afive-movement work, though each movement is drawn through a more modern glass - it's hardly usual to hear a Sinfonia, Toccata, Moto Perpetuo, Aria, and Corrente together. The resemblance towards older forms breaks down as the music is further examined - the Sinfonia is full of transposed, repetitive melodies that play off each other with sly rhythmic twists (much in the manner of Stravinsky), the Toccata is a powerful solo cello showpiece, and the Aria is a delicate flute melody winding above bitonal cello pizzicato. The final Corrente, belying its name, brings the piece to a close with an accelerating back-and-forth of melody and accompaniment.

Par BOULANGER NADIA. Élève de Gabriel Fauré et Louis Verne au Conservatoire national, Nadia Boulanger (1887-1979) tient son aura d?une exceptionnelle carrière de pédagogue qui l?a conduite pendant près de 75 ans former les plus illustres musiciens, de Copland Glasssans oublier Bernstein ou Gardiner. Son ?uvre créatrice, longtemps jugée négligeable, sort depuis quelques années de l?oubli gr ce l?infatigable travail du Centre Nadia et Lili Boulanger, dirigé par Alexandra Laederich. C?est son instigation que se poursuit la publication des mélodies de Nadia Boulanger selon un ordre chronologique : après un premier recueil consacré aux ?uvres de jeunesse parues de son vivant chez l?éditeur Hamelle, le second volume, iciprésenté, rassemble exclusivement des inédits. Il recèle tout d?abord trois mélodies romantiques en allemand sur des poèmes de Heine un choix étonnant car la compositrice se sentait plutôt attirée par la poésie symboliste, comme en témoignent lesautres mélodies du recueil, écrites sur des vers de Paul Verlaine, Maurice Maeterlinck et Georges Delaquys trois auteurs qui faisaient partie du panthéon littéraire de Nadia et de sa s?ur Lili. On trouvera dans leur mise en musique des trésors definesse et de sensibilité. / Date parution : 2024-02-16/ Recueil / Voix Moyenne et Piano
