Par HAHN REYNALDO. Reynaldo Hahn 's Songs And Madrigals for three- and four-part choir. The time machine has no secrets for Reynaldo Hahn (1874-1947). After plunging his contemporaries into the delights of Renaissance revelry with the ‘ Bal De Beatrice D'Este', the composer continued to explore the past with a tribute, in 1907, to Rameau (in the final drumroll of the ‘ Sonatine' for Piano). He also published Songs And Madrigals, composed on a selection of texts written by famous 15th and 16th century poets: Charles d'Orleans, Jean-Antoine de Baï f and Agrippa d'Aubigne. Composed for three- and four-part choir (with optional Piano accompaniment duplicating the Vocals), these six Songs And Madrigals radiate a powerful charm that preserves them from affectation: Un Loyal Coeur envelops the listener in the polyphonic latticework of an enchanting melancholy, while Vivons, Mignarde borrows rhythmically from Lully to exalt the 'sweet life' that Coralie's lips promise to make even more voluptuous. With its seductive melody and expressive delays, Pleurez Avec Moi! bestows heartrending accents upon the sighs of a desolate soul. En Vous Disant Adieu, Comment Se Peut-il Faire Ainsi and Les Fourriers D'Ete round off this collection of deliberately archaic songs that exhale an irresistible freshness./ Répertoire / Choeur et Piano

Reynaldo HAHN (Caracas, Venezuela 1875 - Paris 1947) n'a que trois ans lorsque ses parents s'installent en France. Enfant prodige, il fait ses débuts à l'âge de six ans dans le célèbre salon de la princesse Mathilde, cousine de l'empereur Napoléon III ; il y chante des ai d'Offenbach en s'accompagnant au piano. Au Conservatoire où il entre à dix ans, il est l'élève de Decombes, Lavignac, Dubois et surtout Massenet qui sera pour lui un ami et un protecteur. Son ?uvre est principalement tournée vers la musique vocale : mélodies, opérettes, opéras. On lui doit aussi de nombreuses musiques de scène, des concertos, pièces instrumentales et de musique de chambre. / Classique / Partition /

Exceptional singer Reynaldo Hahn (1875-1947) owes his early successes to the 'songs for voice and piano? genre, whose raison d'être he defines in his journal as follows: 'To highlight a poem, word for word but without uniformity - to emphasize its meaning without distorting it - to shine light upon one idea, obscure another and present it all in vocal, sung form - to produce a sharp, precise sensation by touching a heartstring or evoking an image - all in a well-structured and tastefully written piece?. Enhanced by an audio version attached as a download card, this anthology of songs should dispel a good many misconceptions. This is no salon miniature: L'Heure exquise radiates an infinite tenderness, exalted by the high vocal cadences of Ô Bien-Aimée! and C'est l'heure exquise, which surely wrought tears from the author of the verses, Verlaine. Tyndaris, the jewel of Heures latines, clears a crystal-clear space given over to the delights of slumber and of love. Like D'une prison and Cygnes, these songs do more than wet the eyes: they grip the heart. / Voix Et Piano

« Fuyez les orages » ? cette devise des artistes classiques, Reynaldo Hahn (1874-1947) la place au c?ur de sa musique pour piano à quatre mains, qui préfère au grondement des passions l?équilibre des proportions, l?éclectisme de bon aloi, le charme et la délicatesse. Les Berceuses s?inscrivent dans la tradition française des enfantines qu?illustrent Dolly de Fauré et Ma mère l?Oye de Ravel. Ces sept pièces évoquent avec raffinement le bonheur d?un jour sans nuages, l?effervescence qui règne la veille de Noël, ou le doux balancement syncopé d?une jeune créole, Selfiana. Les Variations puériles sur une mélodie de Carl Reinecke manifestent une veine libre et fantasque, tandis que les Trois préludes sur des airs irlandais s?abreuvent aux sources pures de la musique populaire, empruntant leur matériau thématique au fameux recueil Songs of Old Ireland qu?avait fait paraître en 1882 Stanford. Publiées pour la première fois d?après une source manuscrite, les Variations sur un thème de Charles Levadé s?achèvent sur un quadrille débridé qui mène les héros de la fête à l?auberge la plus proche. La Pièce en forme d?aria et Bergerie de 1896, finement ciselée, renoue avec l?ambiance de la pastorale chère au XVIIe siècle. Cette musique au charme infini ressuscite la voix d?Orphée, telle que l?a entendue Jankélévitch : subjuguant sans violence, elle « pacifie les monstres de l?instinct et apprivoise les fauves de la passion ». Berceuses (1904) Pièce en forme d?aria et bergerie (1896) Trois Préludes sur des airs irlandais (1893) Variations puériles sur une mélodie de Carl Reinecke (1905) Variations sur un thème de Charles Levadé (1892)
