Bedrich Smetana (1824?1884) only began to devote himself intensively to the project of an original opera in Czech at the age of 38. The libretto of ?The Bartered Bride?, the second of Smetana?s nine operas, was written for Smetana by the poet and journalist Karel Sabina. The subject chosen for the comic opera was the story of a pair of lovers in the countryside whose relationship is disapproved of by their parents. It is set during the festival at a village church anniversary.

The final form of the work, which soon came to be regarded as a national opera, was preceded by a relatively difficult genesis.

The opera was written between 1863 and 1865 and was premiered on 30 May 1866 at the Provisional Theatre in Prague, where the composer?s last version of the work was also performed in 1870.

This vocal score contains the musical text of the critical edition of Smetana?s own vocal score.

The newly-set edition contains both Czech and German vocal texts; the German singing translation is by Kurt Honolka.

The newly-set and revised performance material for the entire opera, based on the critical edition by Frantisek Bartos, is available on hire. / [La Fiancée vendue] / Classique / Partition /

La partition Giner Bruno : Charlie. Voix Piano. de Giner Bruno a été composée pour Musique de chambre et plus particulièrement pour Quintette. Cette partition musicale est éditée par une des nombreuses maisons d'édition française à savoir Dhalmann. Cette oeuvre musicale fait partie intégrante des oeuvres de style Classique.' La vision première de l'oeuvre est sonore, fugace, violente et définitive. Et puis... et puis vient le temps de l'écriture...une errance chargée d'encre et de papier, tentative d'écrire dans sa propre langue ce qu'on ne sait pas encore écrire 'Né en 1960 à Perpignan, Bruno Giner commence ses études musicales à Toulouse, puis dans sa ville natale et à Barcelone. A Paris, il suit régulièrement les cours de Pierre Boulez au Collège de France et travaille la composition (électroacoustique et instrumentale) successivement avec Luis de Pablo, Ivo Malec et Brian Ferneyhough.Aujourd'hui, ses oeuvres sont jouées dans de nombreux festivals français et internationaux, et sont interprétées par différents ensembles de musique contemporaine (Aleph, Sic, Fa, L'instant donné, Grame, Nomos, Motus, Intercontemporain, Quatuor Arditti, Klangheimlich, Frullato, Xasax, Ars Nova Nürnberg, Ixtla, Slowind). ' Ce n'est pas la moindre qualité de la musique de Bruno Giner que de nous permettre de mesurer l'étendue de nos préjugés (enfin, je parle pour moi), a écrit Bertrand Dubedout. Restons à l'écoute. Ce compositeur, dont la réflexion et la démarche se nourrissent aussi bien de Boulez ou Ferneyhough, que de Schaeffer ou de Malec, et qu'une insatiable curiosité conduit aussi bien chez Schumann ou Machaut que chez les Pygmées, nous réserve encore bien des surprises, nous mijote bien des émerveillements 'Son catalogue comporte des pièces pour solistes, des partitions de musique de chambre, de la musique vocale, orchestrale, des oeuvres pour l'apprentissage, etc. Sa musique révèle un caractère charnel, parfois virtuose, une énergie canalisée par la formalisation d'une écriture rigoureuse qui n'empêche pas un travail plus empirique sur la morphologie et la matière sonore.En 1998, Bruno Giner reçoit le Prix Hervé Dugardin décerné par la SACEM pour l'ensemble de son oeuvre.Parmi ses dernières compositions, citons Paraphrase sur ' Guernica ' de Paul Dessau pour clarinette, violoncelle, piano et percussions (2003), TCP 17 pour harpe, guitare et mandoline (2005), Clameurs, concertino pour deux percussions et ensemble à vents (2006), Charlie opéra de chambre d'après Matin brun de Franck Pavloff (2007), Extra pour huit violoncelles (2007-2008), Quatuor #3 pour quatuor à cordes et percussion (2008). Parallèlement à ses activités compositionnelles, Bruno Giner a régulièrement collaboré à différentes revues musicales, encyclopédies ou labels discographiques (The New Grove, La Lettre du Musicien, Les cahiers du CIREM, Musica falsa, Motus, etc). Par ailleurs, il signe trois livres : Musique contemporaine : le second vingtième siècle (Editions Durand, 2000), Toute la musique ' (Editions Autrement Junior, 2003), De Weimar à Térézine 1933-1945 : l'épuration musicale (Editions Van de Velde, 2006). / Quintette
