Pour Quintette de Vents. Par TOMASI HENRI. French composer and conductor, Henri Tomasi (1901-1971) published Five Secular and Sacred Dances for Wind Quintet in 1963. As with his other wind compositions, Five Secular and Sacred Dances was well-received by audiences. Tomasi was born in Marseille, but his Father and Mother were originally from La Casinca in Corsica. Despite being pressured into musical studies by his parents, Tomasi dreamed of becoming a sailor, and during the summer, he stayed with his Grandmother in Corsica where he learnt traditional Corsican songs. However, in 1921, he began his studies at the Paris Conservatoire and wenton to become a high profile composer and conductor. Tomasi did not forget his Corsican routes, often incorporating themes of the songs he had learnt during the summers with his Grandmother in to his compositions. Five Secular and Sacred Dances is a reduction arrangement of his work of the same name for Chamber Orchestra. Comprising five movements; 1) Rural Dance, 2) Secular Dance, 3) Sacred Dances, 4) Bridal Dance, and 5) Warrior Dances, Five Secular and Sacred Dances is one of three Wind Quintets by the composer. This Tomasi piece is suitable to an advanced Wind Quintet, providing an exciting alternative addition to the ensemble repertoire./ Répertoire / Quintette à vent

Unfortunately, not all cantatas have survived. However, over 200 sacred and secular works exist and form a corpus of works suitable for all possible occasions. This rich musical heritage is still as relevant today as it was then. - Performance material vocal score & study score available for sale/ Répertoire / Partition de Poche

(The Four Seasons). Par VIVALDI ANTONIO. Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741) stands, with Handel and J. S. Bach, as one of the titanic figures of late Baroque composition. Not only was he lauded as a composer of vocal and instrumental works both sacred and secular, he was without doubt, the most prolific composer of his age. In addition to hundreds of vocal works, including forty-nine operas, he composed five hundred concertos. The Four Seasons are probably the best known of his concerti with the second movement, Largo, portraying time spent by a roaring fire listening to the rain pounding against the window. This new arrangement for brass band retains all the warmth of the original. / Niveau : 2 / Musique pour célébration / Répertoire / Brass Band

Par FAURE GABRIEL. This volume of 'oeuvres complètes de Gabriel Fauré” contains Fauré's four secular choral works in their orchestral arrangements, namely 'Les Djinns”, 'La Naissance de Vénus”, 'Madrigal”, and 'Pavane”. These works were composed between 1876 and 1887 - thereafter Fauré wrote choral compositions based only on sacred texts. The first three works are presented here for the first time in a full score edition, previously having been published only in their versions with piano accompaniment. This edition is therefore the first to present the works with an authoritative musical text based on the careful study of the sources. 'Les Djinns” (1876-76) for mixed choir and orchestra is based on the famous poem by Victor Hugo first published in the collection 'Les Orientales”, while 'La Naissance de Vénus” (1882) for soloists, choir and orchestra is based on a text by Paul Collin. 'Madrigal”, the orchestral version of which cannot be dated with certainty (around 1891, for a quartet of soloists or choir) has been composed after a poem by Armand Silvestre, and the famous 'Pavane”, originally composed for orchestra and only later supplemented with a text by Symbolist poet Robert de Montesquiou, is presented here in an elegant, graceful version with mixed choir. / Date parution : 2019-06-20/ Répertoire / Chant et Orchestre

Par BEDNALL DAVID. David Bednall's Christmas cantata Welcome All Wonders was commissioned and first performed by the Choir of Queen's College, Oxford in 2012 and received rave reviews from, among others, BBC Music Magazine, Limelight Magazine and Gramophone. Described as  'ingenious', 'engaging', 'spirited', 'extremely appealing' and 'accessible without being superficial', a recording of this notable work is available on the Signum label (SIGCD335).  This cantata brings together a beautiful selection of sacred and secular Christmas texts, skilfully interwoven by Bednall to produce a captivating musical narrative of the Christmas story, from Advent through to Epiphany. As a complete work of c.80 minutes' duration, it offers choirs a full programme for their Christmas concert. Alternatively, most movements can be performed as individual items - the unaccompanied motets are particularly suited to this and are available separately as digital downloads.  / Répertoire / Orgue, Trompette et Voix Mixte

Par MENDELSSOHN-BARTHOLDY FELIX. Mendelssohn's contemporaries frequently mentioned his 'Hymn of Praise” in the same breath as Beethoven's Ninth - and often enough viewed it as an imitation. Mendelssohn authority John Michael Cooper, in his extensive Introduction to this new Urtext edition, shows that the comparison is completely unfounded: with this work Mendelssohn created a new genre to which he gave the name 'symphony-cantata”. Later he added a secular counterpart with 'Die Erste Walpurgisnacht”. Drawing on all relevant sources, Cooper provides a detailed account of the genesis and structure of this monumental work. Rounding off his scholarly performing edition are notes on the work's performance, e.g. tempo, articulation and dynamics. For the first time the piano reduction includes Mendelssohn's authorised version of the 'Sinfonia”, based on the first edition of No. 1 for piano solo./ Répertoire / Chant et Orchestre
