Par SAINT-SAENS CAMILLE. Two of Saint-Saens most popular works appear together in this affordable volume. First composed in a song form Danse Macabre was later rewritten as a symphonic poem. It is important to remember that risque music was considered more daring and controversial than today and audiences at its 1875 debut were resistant to its unconventional charms, but it eventually became a crowd pleaser. Havanaise is among the most challenging of violin and orchestra pieces, but a standard showpiece in the repertoire of every serious violinist. Based on the Cuban dance, Habanera, the 1887 work features a languid mood, highlighted by bursts of virtuoso activity. This volumecontains the full score for violin and orchestra of both these magnificent pieces./ Répertoire / Orchestre

In this first scholarly-critical edition of the symphony, a great many inconsistencies and mistakes inherent in the previously used edition have been unveiled and corrected. The edition of Symphony No. 3 marks the launch of a large-scale project: the publication of “Camille Saint-Saëns - Complete Edition of the Instrumental Works”.

Par SAINT-SAENS CAMILLE. L’Offertoire pour orgue et cor chromatique en ut mineur de Camille Saint-Saëns a été écrit à Paris en 1857 et resté méconnu jusqu’à ce jour car, pour des raisons inconnues, Saint-Saëns ne l’a jamais terminé. Cependant, grâce à la note laissée sur le manuscrit par son ami et éditeur Auguste Durand, nous savons avec certitude qu’il l’a bien joué sur les orgues de l’église Saint-Merry où il était titulaire :“inachevé, composé pour Mr Halary et exécuté à l’orgue de S. Merry par l’auteur”. Saint-Saëns a-t-il improvisé une dernière variation, laissant le cor silencieux ou a-t-il juste terminé par un accord final, nous ne le saurons jamais. Écrit pour un cor chromatique, c’est-à-dire cor à mécanisme, en opposition au cor ordinaire ou “naturel” sans piston, encore beaucoup utilisé en France à cette époque, cet Offertoire inachevé est construit sous forme de variations sur l’hymne pascal O filii et filiae écrit en 1494 par Jean Tisserand. De nombreux compositeurs l’ont utilisé tout au long de l’histoire de la musique, citons Lebègue, Dandrieu, Charpentier, Cherubini ou encore Liszt. / Date parution : 2023-03-21/ Répertoire / Cor et Orgue

Symphonic poem after a poem by Henri Cazalis. Par SAINT-SAENS CAMILLE. Saint-Saëns was a great admirer of the symphonic poems by Franz Liszt. His own symphonic poem 'Danse macabre' reflects not only his affinity to medieval superstitions but also constitutes a tribute to Liszt's 'Totentanz'. 'Danse macabre' is based on the eponymous song Saint-Saëns composed in 1872 after Henri Cazalis' poem. At its premiere, the work was not well-received: in fact it was booed, possibly due to the 'diabolic' solo violin playing on an E-string that was tuned down to E-flat, which the audience might have misinterpreted as being out of tune. However within ten years the work had become so popular that Saint-Saëns quoted some of its musical themes in 'The Carnival of the Animals'. Since the composer's death, 'Danse macabre' is among the works most often mentioned in connection with the theatrical face of death found in popular mortuary cult. / Date parution : 2019-11-29/ Répertoire / Orchestre

Arr. Foppe Jacobi. Par SAINT-SAENS CAMILLE. La Danse macabre (1874) est une des oeuvres les plus célèbres de Camille Saint-Saëns. Minuit sonne. Satan va conduire le bal. La Mort paraît et la ronde commence, presque furtivement au début, s’anime, semble s’apaiser et repart avec une rage accrue qui ne cessera qu’au crépuscule matinal. Le sabbat se dissout avec le lever du jour. Cet arrangement élégant pour Orchestre d’Accordéons est fidèle à la version originale. / Niveau : 5 / Répertoire / Orchestre d'Accordéons
