Programme Note City Solstice celebrates the 800th anniversary of the construction of variousbridges  on the site of the current London Bridge. The difficulty of erecting sturdy  constructions on this bend in the Thames where the currents are particularly  strong has led to a rich seam of stories aboutthe bridges passed on through  history myth and folklore.What are thought to be the original words of 'London  Bridge is falling down' carry much of the references to materials used in building the original bridges- wood  and stone gravel and stone and then later iron and steel. The lines my fair lady   dance over my lady lea (or lee ) and with a gay lady are thought to refer to Matilda of  Scotland (c.1080- 1118) consort of Henry I and who was responsible for  building the series of bridges that carried the London toColchester road across the River Lea.King (Saint) Olaf II of Norway figures prominently in the destruction of the bridge  after its occupation by the Danes around 1013. Coming to the assistance of Aethelred Olaf isthought to have pulled the bridge down into the Thames along  with its occupying Danes rather than fight on the bridge itself. There is a line in the  Norse saga The

Solstice Celebration by composer Mike Collins-Dowden depicts the spirit of these celebrations through a joyous, energetic melody passed between all sections of the ensemble, and with a more somber, reflective interlude.

Béla Bartók Chants de Noël roumains Editeur: László Somfai Doigtés: Béla Bartók Les «Chants de Noël roumains» de Bartók reposent sur des mélodies populaires associées à un rite païen de la célébration du solstice d?hiver et avaient fait sur Bartók «une impression plutôt de sauvagerie guerrière que de piété religieuse». Il choisit cependant parmi ces «Colinde» vingt mélodies pour les publier en tant que chants de Noël. Si dans la première édition, en 1918, ces dernières étaient encore conçues pour de petites mains d?enfant «sans empan d?octave», Bartók enrichit toutefois son édition révisée de 1936, que nous présentons ici, d?une annexe avec des «modifications pour l?exécution en concert» qui atteste que ces miniatures étaient désormais parfaitement abouties. L?édition Urtext qui repose sur l?intégrale des ?uvres de Bartók intègre pour la première fois ces variantes de concert directement dans la partition. Par ailleurs les mélodies et la traduction des «Colinde» donnent un aperçu des racines de cette musique de Noël un peu différente.

Bartók’s 'Romanian Christmas Songs' are based on folk melodies that originated in a pagan celebration of the winter solstice and which he felt gave “the impression of a fiery war-like type of song ratherthan a pious and religious one”. Nevertheless he chose 20 melodies from this collection of “colinde” and published them under the title of “Christmas Songs”.In the first edition of 1918 theywere conceived for children’s hands and so were published “without octaves”; but in his revised edition of 1936 which we present here Bartók added an appendix featuring alternative “concertversions” confirming that these miniatures are also perfectly suited for public performance.This Urtext edition is based on that of the Bartók Complete Edition and for the first time integrates these concertvariants directly into the musical text. We also offer the original melodies and translations of the texts of these colinde to provide an insight into the origins of this rather different kind of Christmas music.

Petit arbre est une chanson de transformation. Il s'agit de transformer en lumière des ténèbres, tant pour les fêtes de Noël et pour le solstice d'hiver, qui marque la fin des jours longs et sombres de l'hiver et l'arrivée des jours de la lumière naturelle plu pertinentes. / 2 Parties Voix Aigues (SA) Et Piano

December was inspired by the holiday season in Canada. It reflects the sounds the sights and the moods of that magical time of year. December starts off joyfully with a playful theme of celebration. This leads into an icy reverent winter solstice theme. Then there is a further development of the original joyful theme and a jubilant build to the finish. December can be performed with or without the optional choir part. A wonderful addition to any holiday concert.

Ce choral splendide illustre le solstice d?hiver la nuit la plus longue de l?année. Il décrit la fin du cycle naturel et a un caractère plutôt mélancolique jusqu?à l?accord final qui symbolise un début nouveau. Ce morceau de contemplation est idéalpour créer un moment de tranquillité lors d?un concert mais aussi comme pièce d?échauffement.
