Musi
c for two pianos is among
the most satisfying of
collaborative genres, and
Rhian Samuel has caught
its spirit of verve and
playfulness in her new
Serenade Duo.
Repartee between the
pianists drives this
effervescent score from
mysterious beginnings, in
which the serenade
alternates with fleet,
toccata-like material,
through crosstalk growing
ever more boisterous
until the serenade itself
is heard in a singing
statement 'molto rubato'.
An up-tempo conclusion in
a flurry of scales
returns enigmatically to
the mood of the opening.
Serenade Duo is of just
over five minutes'
duration, and was
premiered by Dimitris
Barydis and Petros
Moschos on 13 February
2005 at the Purcell
Room.

Johannes
Brahms was long reluctant
to compete with Beethoven
in the field of symphonic
music. With his D-major
Serenade in six
movements, the young
composer deliberately
chose a genre that had
had its golden era in the
18th century, thus before
Beethoven. Initially, he
even conceived the
Serenade for a smaller
setting, but decided on a
full orchestra in 1860.
But even then, it was
slow in becoming an
audience success.The new
Brahms Complete Edition
has chosen as its
principal source a copy
of the scores first
edition that Brahms used
as his personal work
copy. There, however,
errors remained
undiscovered, and
recurred in later print

of the D-major Serenade
is finally being

clearly heeds all of the
composers emendations and

ReminiscencesDuring his
time as conductor of the
Detmold court orchestra,
the young Brahms was
inspired by the local
wind ensemble to compose
two serenades. Serenade
No. 2, scored for five
pairs of winds, violas,
cellos, and string basses
(leaving out the violins)
is strongly reminiscent
in sound of Mozart's wind
serenades. The expressive
Adagio is the heart of
the five-movement work.
Quite untypical of
Brahms, he acquired a
liking for the work from
the outset, still
undertaking a revision
scarcely 15 years after
the premiere of 1860;
this has now been made

When
Dvorák wrote his
Serenade for 10 winds and
2 lower strings in
January 1878, the heyday
of the great wind
serenades and
“Harmoniemusikâ€
wind ensembles was
already long gone. He was
probably inspired by
hearing Mozart's Gran
Partita shortly
beforehand in Vienna. The
home key of d minor here
is striking, as is the
often serious, even
tragic atmosphere that
repeatedly darkens the
otherwise cheerful mood
that is typical of the
serenade genre. Perhaps
this was a reaction to
the death of two of his
children just a few
months earlier. Despite
the work's dramatic
character - or perhaps
because of it -
Dvorák's Serenade was
taken up in many European
cities soon after its
first performance in
Prague, and fêted as a
significant contribution
to the chamber music
repertoire for wind
instruments. The
autograph sources in
Prague have been
consulted for this Urtext
edition. The parts are
printed with
player-friendly page
divisions, perfect
page-turning
opportunities, and
practical alternative
parts in F for the three
horns.

Writt
en in 1998, Pacific
Serenade is a “peaceful
serenade:” serenade as
in: romantic, quasi
improvised music which
should be sung at night
under the stars. The main
“singer” here is the
clarinet. In general the
music is extremely quiet,
delicate, sensuous and
sentimental. The
sensuousness is created
by Latin song elements
especially the nostalgic
Brazilian folk song,
which is at times
combined with Blues style
melody and harmony. The
string quartet has a
technically expressively
challenging part which is
not merely the
accompaniment to the
clarinet, but rather it
is responsible for
setting the mood in which
the clarinet sings. This
is Aguila’s opus 59 and
it was commissioned by
Pacific Serenades
Ensemble of California
who premiered the work in
1998. Of course the
ensemble's name inspired
the name of this work as
well as its mood. In an
age of boom boxes, media
bombardment of
information and pop
culture becoming
increasingly aggressive,
boisterous and violent, I
felt the need to write
just the opposite… to
show once more that less
is more. -- Miguel del
Aguila.

Elgar's
Serenade for Strings was
composed in 1892 and
represents the first of
his works with which the
35-year-old composer was
truly satisfied. Whether,
as often claimed, it
derives from three pieces
for strings from 1888 can
no longer be ascertained,
since only the titles of
those pieces âSpring
Songâ,
âElegyâ and
âFinaleâ, have
come down to us. However,
these titles would also
characterise the
movements of the Serenade
surprisingly well.
Posterity shares Elgar's
positive assessment to
the present day: the
Serenade op. 20 is not
only one of his most
popular compositions, but
is among the most
frequently played works
in the string-orchestra

“Born
in Paris in 1899, Francis
Poulenc soon became a
notable composer and
pianist. His Serenade,
originally composed in
1925-1926 for Voice and
Piano, met much success
as part of his Bawdy
Songs. Therefore, it was
well-received when
Maurice Gendron
transcribed it for Cello
and Piano. Poulenc, as a
member of Les Six,
composed music in a style
contrary to that of
Richard Wagner and
impressionists Claude
Debussy and Maurice
Ravel. Serenade reflects
the composer's
contrasting style, making
use of a 6/8 time
signature, double stops,
variations in
articulation and wide
range on the Cello. Being
an imaginative and
evocative composition,
Serenade, transcribed for
Cello and Piano, is a
pleasurable addition to
the
repertoire.â€.
