Pour Alto seul. Par HELDER MARLIJN. Marlijn Helder, compositrice et pianiste, est très connue en Hollande, son pays natal, pour ses interprétations musicales uniques, seule ou avec orchestre, tant de ses propres oeuvres que du répertoire du XXème siècle. Une grande date pour elle fut la création en 2012 de son orchestration du Quatuor avec piano, de Mahler, par l'Orchestre philharmonique de Rotterdam et le chef James Gaffigan, redonnée plus tard par l'Orchestre philharmonique de Séoul. Cette création sera l'occasion pour elle de recevoir la commande d'un double concerto pour violon et basson. Elle a joué avec les principaux orchestres hollandais et allemands, aussi bien Chostakovitch que Kurtag, et se produit en Russie, aux Etats-Unis, au Mexique et dans nombre de pays européens. Elle s'adonne également souvent au récital ou à la musique de chambre. Ses oeuvres sont programmées sur les cinq continents. Les Editions Le Chant du Monde sont donc heureuses de nouer une collaboration avec Marlijn Helder./ Répertoire / Alto

Création 14/11/2015 - Clermont Ferrand, Festival Musiques démesurées, Théâtre le Petit Vélo - Christophe Desjardins (alto) Commanditaire Festival Musiques Démesurées Notice Cette pièce se situe dans la grande tradition des Lamenti de Monteverdi, Purcell, Britten (Lachrymae), ou encore plus récemment le Concerto lugubre de Tadeusz Baird. Il ne s'agit pas bien sûr d'une parenté esthétique, mais de cette capacité de l'alto à exprimer la plainte, et de sa parenté avec la voix. Deux éléments, l'un percussif et l'autre mélodique vont se répondre, se développer et interférer tout au long de la pièce jusqu'à lui donner une dimension polyphonique, telle que l'envisageait Berio dans ses Sequenza.

In 1922 Maurice Ravel heard the young Hungarian violin virtuoso and niece of Joseph Joachim, Jelly D'Aranyi, in concert in London. Following the performance, Ravel spent the remainder of the evening requesting D'Aranyi to play numerous gypsy tunes on her violin, probing her on the technical limits of the instrument. The result of this encounter is Ravel's virtuoso classic 'Tzigane?. Written originally for violin and piano or luthéal (a mechanism invented in 1919 that attaches to a piano, producing a sound similar to the rich overtones of the Cimbalon), the premiere took place in London in April 1924. The composer had finished the work only days beforehand. Ravel later orchestrated 'Tzigane? and both versions remain a 'must? for music-lovers and aspiring violinists today. Jelly D'Aranyi performed both versions regularly throughout her long career. This Urtext edition presents the first scholarly-critical edition of Ravel's masterpiece. It is published both in the orchestral version, complete with full score and performance material, as well as in the composer's earlier version for violin and piano. All known sources, including letters, have been drawn on for the new edition - one of the available sources, consulted for the first time, was a copy of 'Tzigane? from the estate of Jelly D'Aranyi, which is today part of a private collection. The version for piano and violin contains, besides the Urtext part, a second violin part as a facsimile with performance instructions by Jelly D'Aranyi. D'Aranyi's alterations and fingering reflect how Ravel must have heard the work in rehearsals and performance and as such are a document of early 20th century performance practice. The cooperation between Ravel and D'Aranyi is comparable to that of Brahms and Joachim working on the Brahms violin concerto.- First scholarly-critical Urtext edition of the work - Presented are both versions: for violin and orchestra and for violin and piano- Includes Jelly D'Aranyi's fingering / Alto
