Par VON SUPPE FRANZ. Preludes and overtures were often written to set the mood of Viennese folk plays and therefore might be used for more than one production. Such was the case for Poet and Peasant, which introduced a comedy of the that name in 1846. The piece had already been heard as the overture to the play Lots of money, short of sleep and may also have prefaced two other plays. This overture did not belong to an opera until several years after its 1845 composition date. The themes from this overture are among the most often quoted material for comic effects for stage productions and animated cartoons. Probably, they represent, in sound, an era of nostalgia from the old-time park band concerts andare familiar to audiences of all age groups. This composition deserves to be heard in its original context as a serious, but highly entertaining, selection. / Niveau : 4 / Ouverture / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

as performed by Dua Lipa featuring DaBaby. Par LIPA DUA / KELLY SEB (Arr.). Le grand succès de la chanteuse et parolière anglaise Dua Lipa, « Levitating », a été écrit en Jamaïque lors d'une séance d'enregistrement pour son deuxième album studio, Future Nostalgia. C'est une chanson dansante énergique qui mêle les caractéristiques de plusieurs styles tels que power pop et electro disco. Très applaudie à sa sortie, elle a été comparée à la musique de vedettes comme Debbie Harry, Katy Perry, Kate Nash et Kylie Minogue. L'arrangeur Seb Skelly a été séduit, lui aussi, par ce titre accrocheur. Il l'a donc arrangé pour quintette de cuivres avec partie de batterie optionnelle, et le résultat déclenchera très certainement une envie irrésistible de danser !/ Répertoire / Quintette de Cuivres et Percussion optionnelle

Par BULLA STEPHEN. Here’s a delightful folk song of Irish origin, with a hint of nostalgia thrown in for good measure. It was probably once played on the Bagpipes and is definitely emulated that way in this arrangement. / Niveau : 2 / Musique légère originale / Répertoire / Concert Band

Solo for Oboe or Violin. Par BACRI NICOLAS. The title only appears frivolous to those who have lived little. With the passage of time, the seasons that pass, the differences in quantity and quality of light, of temperature and weather, become of ever greater importance in the meaning of our individual existence. This transformation follows the path of our lives and often mimes in front of our very own eyes, incredulous and wondrous, events that we can only experience once in a lifetime: our birth, our blossoming, our aging and our death. Such a subject could well take up ten years of my life. This was the case. Nevertheless, everything started very innocently with a proposition from my friend François Leleux to write him a double concerto that he could play with Natalia Gutman, initially named ‘Musica Concertante’. It was with this second proposition from François for another double concerto, this time with Lisa Batiashvili, that the idea came to me for a cycle of four concertos with, each time, a different instrument from the string quartet to join the oboe. The automnal colours of the cello are a perfect match for the retrospective nature of the first completed concerto in the cycle. ‘concerto nostalgico, l’automne’, whilst the love and the first child of the Leleux-Batiashvili couple could only bring Spring to mind, hence the ‘Concerto amoroso, le printemps’, was born. When Jean-Marc Bador asked me to be an associate of the Ensemble Orchestral de Paris for two years, it was quite naturally that I thought of completing this cycle for François Leleux, with winter ‘Concerto tenebroso’, created in January 2010 with Lise berthaud playing the viola. All that remained was for me to conclude, with a work that reunited all four protagonsits. It was summer, the ‘Concerto luminoso’, which took on this role’./ Répertoire / Orchestre

Per Oboe Solo E Banda. Par DE HAAN JACOB. Cette pièce lyrique est dédiée au grand Augusto Loppi, ex-hautbois solo de l’Orchestre de la Scala de Milan. La première a eu lieu à Monterosi dans la région du Latium, en Italie, sous la direction de Jacob de Haan avec Augusto Loppi en soliste. L’idiome sonore de cette oeuvre n’est pas sans nous rappeler l’écriture des maîtres de l’opéra italien tels que Verdi et Donizetti, mais aussi celle du compositeur de musiques de films, Ennio Morricone, sous la direction duquel Augusto Loppi a interprété le célèbre solo Gabriel’s Oboe extrait de la bande originale du film The Mission . / Niveau : 2.5 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Hautbois et Concert Band ou Harmonie
