Par NODAIRA ICHIRO. Une oeuvre pour quatre violoncelles basée sur la Suite no5 pour violoncelle solo de J.S.Bach. Elle fait partie de la série 'Transformation' qui cherche à transformer l'oeuvre de Bach dans l'ère moderne, à convertir l'écriture de Bach en celle d'aujourd'hui. L'oeuvre se compose de quatre parties jouées successivement. Bien que la sonorité soit complètement différente, chaque partie est étroitement liée à cette Suite no5. Partie 1 Densité : chaque note de la double-croche au début du prélude est prolongée pour former des accords denses. Partie 2 Chant : une nouvelle ligne de chant est née à partir de différentes transpositions des lignes mélodiques de Sarabande. Partie 3 Tempus fugit : les fragments de Courante traversent rapidement, tandis que le rythme de base de Gigue se répète sans relâche. Partie 4 Dans le temps qui s'étire : le sujet de Fugue dans la seconde moitié du Prélude s'étend une dizaine de fois, apportant divers développements.

A work for orchestra commissioned by Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra. The composer writes 'I have borrowed the title 'Voyages extraordinaires' from the writer Jules Verne and his famous novel series depicting fantastic or in reality impossible journeys. The title seemed fitting as my work is intended as fantastical musical voyages on which the listener encounters new worlds of sound through recurring orchestral transformations. I see the work somewhat as a tribute to how art has the abilities to transcend the limits of life. Some years ago I composed a horn trio 'Diagonal Musik' (2017) inspired by the Swedish artist Olle Baertling. Baertling’s paintings consist of large brighttriangular shapes and although the lines gradually approach one another the intersecting point is often placed outside the frame. Consequently the spectator will try to complete the angle in their own head. In my horn trio I wanted to transfer this to music: the lines that gradually approach each other but rarely meet except perhaps in the listener’s head. In 'Voyage Extraordinaires' I have tried to develop these techniques even further this time for orchestral forces and combine them with the magical transformations an important structural element of the piece. The fantastic journeys also refer to travels in our own imagination: what we believe and picture in our mind. The sudden musical transformations that occur are also reminiscent of dream logic and the dreamscape itself. Here it is possible to wander in and out through worlds in a way that feels consistent within the framework of the dream.' A work for orchestra commissioned by Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra.

Les Electrics sont des tentatives de création d'espaces sonores qui allient le soliste et le dispositif électroacoustique dans une relation particulière. Avec Les Electrics, je cherche à définir cette interactivité idéale, le lien ou le lieu sonore convivial, musical et ludique, à l'image peut-être d'une pensée de musique chambriste qui pourraient relier deux musiciens, ici le soliste et l'ordinateur. Un espace interactif, créatif et récréatif où le soliste peut construire un enchaînement personnel de territoires sonores électroacoustiques dans lesquels il se déplace à sa guise en créant ses propres itinéraires dans la partition de 'forme ouverte'.Ici, le programme informatique 'écoute' les 'mi' de la flûte, hauteur pivot sur laquelle se polarise la pièce qui sert de relais comme interactivité avec l'ordinateur. Sur chaque 'mi', il en analyse immédiatement les variations microtonales, les dynamiques et le timbre du soliste. En fonction de ces paramètres, se construisent les transformations électroacoustiques. L'instrumentiste a donc le contrôle permanent de ces transformations par sa technique de jeu.Florence BaschetLes Electrics sont des pièces mixtes qui ont pour but de familliariser les instrumentistes (professionnels et étudiants en cycle supérieur de conservatoire) aux techniques de jeu instrumentales contemporaines avec dispositif électroacoustique en temps réel, ce dispositif étant contrôlé par la technique de jeu du soliste. A ce jour, il existe deux Electrics, une pour saxophone et une pour flûte. / Flûte Traversière et Electronique

Make the silence talk'La Muette knew how to make the silence talk like no one', writes Djavann in his book (La Muette, © Flammarion 2008). Those words deeply touched me for they express one of the most beautiful metaphors in music. Through the lines of discourse, beyond words, I was listening to the silence of 'La Muette'. A rare and intense listening which joins the same internal listening I use when I'm writing my score. I was listening to La Muette, I decided to write a new piece to make the silent voice of La Muette told by Chahdortt Djavann sound through music. Choosing the extracts The text put in music is composed of short extracts from Djavann's story. I focused on this woman's portrait, who conquers her freedom through silence in which she forms a strong love relationship with her niece Fatemeh on the one hand, and the Uncle on the other hand. 'She had made her silence become her art of living, her freedom' writes Djavann. The extremely dramatic tension, the flow of the singing in Persian language, and the oppression in relation to the Iranian context are trying to underline the independent beauty of that woman who resists and exists without a voice. Story A young 15 years old Iranian girl named Fatemeh is in jail. Waiting for her death sentence, she writes the story of her aunt on a small notebook, 'so that someone remembers La Muette and myself'. The young teenager was raised by her aunt who becomes mute because she decided to stop talking on a dark day of her own childhood when she was interrogated, never to tell THE truth. An aunt whose silence makes even more fascinating, haughty, with an insolent look, cigarette at her lips, bare-footed and without any scarf on her head. 'La Muette' had made her silence become her art of living, her freedom. Around her, women start to talk, even considering her mad, for only a mad person could act this way. Fatemeh loves her mute aunt unconditionally, that is how she wants to become a woman, by being like her, fascinated by her silence and her excesses. La Muette embodies a figure of Freedom and makes us remember that in some countries, the woman who won't be submissive risks capital punishment. She will be hung. Following this beautiful text by Chahdortt Djavann, 'La Muette', a powerful text, stiff, tensed, without any lyricism nor compromises, which takes place in Iran under the Mollahs' regime. Persian: Phonological material / Compositional material Djavann's story is written in French. I asked Baharé Khadjé-Nouri to translate the text into Persian, and worked with her on pronunciation, accentuation, metric and the structure of the language, and I thank her again for that. I spent a long time having some people reading me the text in Persian and through listening I immersed myself in that sound universe. From this linguistic material, the beginning of the piece starts with the constitution of a tank of sound objects which will constitute parts of the compositional material. To compose the phonological tank, I worked on writing the pronunciation that lies at the origin of every possible vocal composition, writing the tone as well as the 'percussive - resounding' aspects of phonemes, multiple uses of fricative consonants or sibilants. Finally I used the vocal treatment of the phoneme through modes of play in relation to sprechsang: sing -inspire, or -expire, -blow, -chanting, -whispering, -spitting, -speaking. But a purely phonetic analysis of the vocal structures composing the sung part would reduce the word to its mere phonetic entity. The phonological material then constituted a compositional material by giving to the sung word its semantic entity. Form of the piece To strip the drama off every narrative element, at least of the discursive and linear character of the story, I first re-organized parts of the text extracted from the whole book in an order fitting the form I wanted to give to the piece (except for the beginning and ending which are kept in their linear forms). I imagined Fatemeh in jail, whose memories bounced between the four walls of her cell: recurring musical material, re-injected in an obsessive way, disjointed and contrasted, continuously modified each time, bouncing from one sequence to the next in another state. The piece is divided into 5 sequences, between each of them is an instrumental interlude with a voice-off, the voice of the present in the cell that contrasts with the singing voice of the sequence, evocation of memories of La Muette (sequence 1: preamble, sequence 2: portrait of La Muette, sequence 3: La Muette and Fatemeh, sequence 4: La Muette and the Uncle, sequence 5: epilogue). Electroacoustic setupFor this piece, I wrote the electroacoustic parts myself at the same time I was writing the instrumental parts. The electroacoustic setup is here considered as a whole instrument, an instrument added to the 12 others electroacoustic instruments and to Donatienne's voice. The electroacoustic sounds are divided into three types: - Samples from the singer's voice and instruments of the TM+ ensemble transformed - The narrator's voice Baharé Khadjé-Nouri in Persian, original version or transformed - Extra-musical sounds As for the synchronization between the acoustic and the electroacoustic scores, we will use for the first time an innovative application developed by Frédéric Bevilacqua and Bruno Zamborlin, not to follow the moves as we did it in StreicherKreis (my string quartet created in November 2008), but to follow the voice and orchestra. Thus, we will be using an 'audio-following', which constituted a first. This setup of recognition and following will allow the synchronization between instrumental and electroacoustic scores in a musical and precise way. Concerning the interactivity between performers and device, it will all be in real-time. Characteristics of the musicians' sound will 'interpret' what comes out of the speakers. The musicians will define the settings of the sound transformations, in terms of space, transposition, tone or length. This new piece expresses a message through the choice of subject that goes beyond strictly music. For me, it is important that both the composer and writer can invest their work into problematics which they're confronted to because they are immediate witnesses. / Soprano Et Percussions

Orchestral work commissioned by the BBC and premiered by the BBC Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Andrew Davis The Barbican Hall November 1992.Quoting Lindberg: 'After having written a Piano Concerto in 1991preceded by three works for different orchestral effectives (Kinetics Marea and Joy) I felt that I had come to an end with a certain musical expression and also compositional technique. All these works were based upon anextended chaconne principle with chord chains cycling around undergoing constant transformation and being articulated in a very gestural way. The musical paradox and evidently also the challenge was the discrepancy between abrick-like method expressed in a world of gestures (with all difficulties involved in conceiving music out of phrases) aiming at a continuity in terms of progression and development.After the Piano Concerto in the autumn of1991 I strongly felt that I couldn't continue in that direction anymore. I started to work on a project called Corrente for 16 players as a study for the full orchestra version entitled Corrente II.In order to bring theharmonic and rhythmic world closer to each other I abandoned the chaconne principle and based the harmony on different scale aggregates. By combining these scales and by filtering or by enhancing them with additional pitchesbased on more acoustically oriented views of the scales by considering them as partials of virtual fundamentals I was able to work in a rich harmonic world without actually having to do harmonic transformations and progressions.The rhythmic material was based on pattern figures with a rather kaleidoscopic approach of repetition and variation.By combining these pattern figures and scales aggregates I wanted to give the musical expression a 'narrative'sense of streams and directions moving around in different orchestral constellations.Corrente II for symphony orchestra is based on the same material as the piece for chamber orchestra. As the timbral palette and the mass

Per Licei musicali Conservatori e Corsi universitari a indirizzo musicale-The thirteen chapters of this work cover the history of music from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century. For each period the book focuses on the respective musical forms as well as on their transformations. Great attention is devoted to the following topics which concur to a thorough musical knowledge: monody modal and tonal harmony extratonal systems semiography. Many exercises based on actual compositions by the Classical authors enrich the description of the forms.

32 Etudes Pour Clarinette Volume 1. Par ROSE CYRILLE. Dans le petit monde de la clarinette, le recueil des '32 Etudes' de Rose est sans aucun doute un des plus réputés et des plus utilisés. En se basant sur les '48 Etudes op. 31' pour hautbois de Ferling, Rose a librement modifié la structure, l'étendue, la tonalité et parfois même la carrure des études originales pour les adapter à la tessiture et au jeu de la clarinette. Ce sont donc de véritables re-créations que Rose met à la disposition de l'étudiant clarinettiste. Regroupant une grande variété de défis musicaux et techniques, les '32 Etudes' permettent une préparation idéale au répertoire du 19e siècle et, en tant que telles, elles n'ont peut-être jamais été remplacées. À travers de nombreuses rééditions, ces études ont été à leur tour révisées et complétées par l'ajout d'indications expressives, de dynamiques, d'articulations, de phrasés et de tempi métronomiques surchargeant parfois le discours original. Cette nouvelle édition présente un double intérêt : d'une part de proposer le cahier original de Rose de 1893, et d'autre part de mettre en parallèle la version référente de Ferling pour le hautbois (édition de 1840 chez Bachmann) que nous avons transposée dans les tonalités choisies par Rose pour la clarinette. L'étudiant pourra donc facilement comparer les deux versions, saisir les modifications, les ajouts et les transformations de Rose et ainsi enrichir son approche du style et du phrasé de chaque étude. Pour compléter cette réflexion, des indications de jeu et de travail sont données tout au long du recueil. - Formation : Solo - Instrumentation : Clarinette Solo - Niveau de Difficulté : 3/6 - Intermédiaire - Durée : -- - Style Musical : Pédagogique - Catégorie : Composition Originale, Méthode - Compositeur : Cyrille ROSE - / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Pédagogique / Etude / Clarinette Solo
