Par VERSCHAEVE MICHEL. 'Du point de vue spectacle, l'opéra-comique français est, dans l'ensemble, une réussite, et la musique y joue un rôle souvent fort plaisant. Tout cela est vif, alerte, spirituel, habile, parfois pétillant - cela chante dans toutes les mémoires, et il n'est nul besoin de connaître le rudiment du solfège pour s'en délecter. La musique, presque uniquement mélodique, encore qu'elle soit soutenue par un orchestre à la fois léger, transparent et qui, jamais, n'accapare indiscrètement l'attention, suit l'action avec souplesse, avec esprit, avec bonne humeur.' * C'est dans les Airs sérieux et à boire, la Comédie Italienne et dans les théâtres de foires que l'Opéra-Comique confirme sa naissance, se développe et finit par s'imposer notamment grâce, à la fin du XVIIe siècle, aux foires St-Laurent et St-Germain (qui se déroulent du 3 février au dimanche de la Passion). A la fin de l'année 1714, l'Opéra autorise le nom définitif de l'Opéra-Comique composé alors du Vaudeville (à l'origine Vau de Vire) mêlé d'ariettes. C'est donc l'alternance du parlé et du chanté qui fait la spécificité de l'Opéra-Comique contrairement à l'Opéra qui est chanté de bout en bout. Il faut donc aux interprètes un solide travail d'acteur allié à des qualités vocales de plus en plus exigeantes. Le XIXe siècle produira un nombre considérable de partitions jouées des centaines de fois parmi lesquelles se distinguent notamment : La Dame Blanche (1825) de Boieldieu, Les Dragons de Villars (1856) de Maillard, Le Pré aux Clercs (1832) d'Hérold, Les Noces de Jeannette (1853) de Massé, Lalla Roukh (1862) de David ou Le Postillon de Longjumeau (1836) d'Adam. Dans notre série de recueils, nous ne manquerons évidemment pas de proposer des oeuvres antérieures et postérieures à ces dates, oeuvres particulièrement choisies pour leurs différences (au niveau des tessitures, de l'agilité, du legato, etc.). Il nous est apparu évident, lorsque c'était le cas, de laisser les textes parlés avant, pendant et après les airs, ce qui caractérise l'essence même de l'Opéra-Comique. Le but de nos recueils est avant tout de développer un répertoire incontournable de l'histoire de la musique française et de donner la possibilité aux interprètes d'épanouir au mieux leurs qualités vocales et théâtrales. / classique / Répertoire / Mezzo-Soprano et Piano ou 2 Mezzo-Soprano

Alleluja for Sopran Og Orgel Op. 135 is a piece for Soprano Voice and accompanying Organ. This piece has been expertly composed by Niels Viggo Bentzon. Manuscript copy.

As the Saxophone is commonly associated with the jazz style classical music for the instrument had always been lacking and so when Paul Bonneau published his Concerto for Alto Saxophone in 1944 it was well-received by performers of the genre. Bonneau's composition was highly versatile ranging from over fifty film scores operettas songs and other pieces for Saxophone including this Concerto. Comprising three movements a typical performance lasts about fifteen minutes. Bonneau's Concerto for Alto Saxophone contains typically French characteristics includingchromaticism and difficult technical passages. All these elements combined make for an enjoyable and challenging piece for saxophonists.

Par O'NEILL JOHN. These methods provide complete courses for players off all ages, guiding students from their first note to 'classics', together with compositions by contemporary writers. Each book is accompanied by high quality rhythm section tracks recorded on compact disc. Right from the start, students can enjoy authentic jazz sounds, playing in the company of professionals. With step-by-step instruction and a progression of specially written pieces, the fundamental elements of good technique are introduced alongside the rhythmic subtleties of jazz. Improvisation is encouraged from an early stage and is given direction through the systematic study of scales and arpeggios and advice on ear-training and chord patterns. With supplementary suggestions for listening and reading, and an Appendix containing all the chord progressions for 'live' accompaniment of the tunes, 'The Jazz Methods' are ideally suited to both students working alone and those learning with a teacher. 'John O'Neill has a solid understanding of jazz and how it can be taught. I highly recommend his educational jazz materials.' (Jamey Aebersold) '...a rare opportunity for a new player (or a more experienced one) to develop a really musical facility. A rare addition to the jazz improvising library.' (Lee Konitz, international jazz saxophone soloist) The Saxophone is, for many, the instrument of jazz and there is an enormous and exciting repertoire waiting to be explored by newcomers to the instrument. 'The Jazz Method for Saxophone' will guide beginners of all ages from producing their first note on the saxophone to the performance of full-blown jazz pieces, including 'classics' by Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, Sonny Rollins and Horace Silver, as well as contributions from leading contemporary jazz players and composers. Backing for all the music-specially recorded for this method is provided on the accompanying CD so that, right from the start, student saxophonists can enjoy an authentic jazz sound, playing in the company of a top-class rhythm section (bass, guitar, drums) used later to support first attempts at improvisation. / Méthode / Méthode / Saxophone

Benvenuto Cellini, premiered in 1838, is inspired by the life of the legendary Florentine goldsmith and Renaissance figure. The premiere was a disatster yet even by Berlioz?s high standards it contains music of exceptional inventiveness and beauty. The work is challenging not least due to the three versions which exist: the original version (Paris 1) as Berlioz composed it the version premiered in Paris (Paris 2) after rehearsal and copied into an archival full score the Weimar version based on the revival in 1852 following changes suggested by Liszt Our edition offers a solution to the problem of publishing operas which have been heavily revised by their composers, so that any of its many versions may be adopted on stage today. Urtext of the New Berlioz Edition Full score (BA5441) and vocal score (French) with a supplementary libretto French-German (BA5441-90) available for sale Performance material (BA5441-72) available for hire
