Le va et vient le est un ' suite de ballet ' qui pourrait bien un jour revenir à l'étape comme un ballet. Initialement commandé par Merce Cunningham et exécutés sous le titre ' Set, Hold, claire et silencieux ' pour hautbois et chariots électriques, la pièce a été transcrite pour orchestre et pour la première fois en 1978 sous son titre actuel au Festival International de musique de Lucerne. ' Il (Ivan Tcherepnine) mène la première représentation de Le Va et Vient Le lui-même. Ce que j'ai ressenti durant le concert a confirmé ma première impression lors de la répétition générale : cette composition évoque un sentiment étrange et fascinant. La musique évolue lentement et calmement, whithout tout changement de tempo, crée des images successives d'un jardin tropical, un palais de l'acier et les tons d'un orchestre parlent. L'impression tout aussi formidable espace sous un. ' (Claude Pascal, Le Figaro) / Orchestre

Par LINDBERG MAGNUS. Pièce pour orchestre de 17 minutes, commandée par la Finnish Broadcasting Company (radio finlandaise). Création aux Proms de la BBC en août 1997 par l’Orchestre symphonique de la Radio finlandaise. Le compositeur déclare : « Le mot espagnol de Feria désigne un festival ou une manifestation ayant lieu en plein air, et dont l’ambiance festive a inspiré cette œuvre. Dans la partie d’ouverture, au tempo rapide, des idées musicales aux rythmes explosifs, mais surtout les fanfares de trompettes toujours présentes dans la pièce annoncent un spectacle public plein de vie. La partie principale, plus lente, conduit au point central de la pièce, qui se reconnaît à la succession caractéristiques des accords du Lasciatemi morire (« Lamento d’Ariane ») de Monteverdi. »/ Recueil / Orchestre

Johann Strauss the Younger (1825 - 1899) was a Viennese composer best known for his operettas and dance music especially his waltzes polkas and quadrilles. By the time his father died in 1849 he was already well-established as a renowned composer in his own right. The Annen Polka (Op. 117) was written for St Anne’s Festival in 1852 - an important public holiday in Vienna. Somewhat confusingly Struass Snr had also written a Polka for the same festival ten years earlier which is known by the same title. Struass Jnr’s Annen Polka has been arranged for Piano andschool/amateur Orchestra by Frank Naylor.

Par CASABLANCAS BENET. Shade and Darkness, lasting some 12:30 minutes, was co-commissioned by the Centro Nacional de Difusión Musical and the Festival Internacional de Música y Danza de Granada. The work is inspired by Turner's famous painting of the same name, subtitled 'The Night Before the Flood', although this does not imply any programmatic or even less descriptive intention, beyond the composer's admiration for the painter, and for the richness of tones and chiaroscuro, subtlety in the treatment of pictorial matter, and the dynamism and emotional force present in his work, to whose depth John Ruskin alludes: 'Nuance is in Turner, first of all, a beautiful aid to the great impression to be conveyed, but it is neither the source nor the essence of that impression; it is little more than a visible melody... preparing the feelings for the reading of the mysteries of God.' The score, generous in expressive contrasts, explores the ductility and richness of possibilities of the strings, with a very diversified use of textures, densities and colours. The formal arrangement describes a wide ternary arc, consisting of two slow and often static sections - not without ominous foreboding - and a more lively central part, punctuated by occasional turbulence and dazzling flashes of timbre, culminating in a powerful climactic process. In the final bars the four voices of the classical quartet fleetingly emerge, as a tribute to Günter Pichler, founder and member of the Alban Berg Quartet, to whom the score is dedicated, and who conducted the premiere of the work in front of the Joven Orquesta Nacional de España on 24 and 25 June 2014 at the Auditorio Nacional de Música in Madrid and in the Patio de los Mármoles del Hospital Real in Granada. / Date parution : 2022-03-15/ Répertoire / Petit Orchestre

Richard Rodney Bennet’s Symphony No. 3 commissioned for the 1987 Three Choirs Festival by the Elgar Foundation with additional funds from West Midlands Arts is now published in a facsimile study score.In contrast with his first two symphonies which were rather extrovert display pieces Symphony No. 3 is quite thoughtful and lyrical in nature more or less monothematic and has a strong feeling of tonality particularly at the opening and closing of the score.
