Par MASSENET JULES. The instantly recognisable and ever-popular Meditation, from the opera Thaï s by Jules Massenet (1842-1912), remains a strong favourite in the classical repertoire, superbly arranged for Flute and Piano by French flautist, Paul Taffanel. Massenet first studied music with his mother before entering the Paris Conservatoire. He is best known for his operas, of which he composed over thirty. Thaï s was first performed at the Opera Garnier in Paris in 1894 and continues to be one of the composer's most performed operas. The famous Meditation, isan intermezzo, originally for Violin and Orchestra, which has since been arranged for many different instruments, making it a frequent concert piece. The arrangement for Flute and Piano remains in the original key of D major and displays the passionate religious intentions. Taffanel 's adaptions include breath marks, phrasing, changing octaves for some notes and articulation, among other aspects. Massenet 's Meditation is challenging through its use of lyricism in the upper register, yet it remains a favoured and popular piece in the Flute's repertoire. / Opéra-opérette / Répertoire / Flûte Traversière et Piano

Quarter Military Band QMB 511-Score and parts for a meditation on a Sequence by Beethoven from Bernstein's work Mass. Arranged by Donal Hunsberger for wind band.The 1970s saw a number of religious rock musicals notably Jesus Christ Superstar and Godspell and Bernstein was so impressed by the latter that he invited 23-year-old writer Stephen Schwartz to provide lyrics for Mass—once again Bernstein reached beyond his own world of classical music for a collaborator to help him create a large-scale musical theater piece as he had with West Side Story.Mass was Bernstein's most ambitious theater work. Despite its adaptation of the Latin text interspersed with songs ''numbers '' choreographic sequences and symphonic interludes Mass is ecumenical in nature and cannot be categorized. Perhaps the most accurate description of the piece is ''pageant.'' With approximately 200 performers including dancers singers a boy chorus rock and blues singers actors and two orchestras as well as a marching band—who play through the audience—Mass is a musical and theatrical experience.Bernstein's Meditation No 2 allows both audience and celebrant a moment of contemplation.
