Minor: Triads. Par ORFF CARL / KEETMAN GUNILD. Carl Orff devoted much of his life to the development of a philosophy of Music for Children, based on his belief that music is the natural outcome of speech, rhythm and movement. His ideas and pioneering work have had a major influence on music and dance education throughout the world and today that work continues under the guidance of leading teachers and educators in many countries. The five basic German volumes of 'Music for Children' by Carl Orff and Gunild Keetman were published between 1950 and 1954. Edition have since been published in Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Estonia, France, Ghana, Great Britain (including a special Welsh edition), Greece, Italy, Japan, Korea, Latin-America, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan and the USA. In 1952 the first edition in translation appeared, an English language adaptation by Doreen Hall and Arnold Walter for their Canadian and American students. A few years later, Margaret Murray independently developed a version (1957-1966), essentially to fulfil the needs of United Kingdom teachers. Inevitably the considerable growth of Orff-Schulwerk in the United States led to the publication of the American Edition (1977) to satisfy the requirements of a different educational system and national heritage. Orff-Schulwerk: Music for Children has proved itself to be a stimulating source of material for music teaching. Carl Orff's fundamental educational ideas have revitalized music education in nursery schools, at all levels of primary and secondary education and in special music schools, based on the concepts that: - music, dance and language are inter-related and animated through rhythm. - when children discover, invent, improvise and compose, their experience of music is intensified. These creative activities are complementary to those of interpreting and listening to music. - all who take part are encouraged to contribute, not only vocally but also instrumentally. - the Orff approach to music education is many sided; it is concerned with practical music-making, it provides fundamental experiences and it lays the foundation for a comprehensive musical training. - movement games and activities for body awareness in space, time and flow, lead to movement improvisation and dance forms. - music and dance have been notated in many different ways in history. Various ways of writing down sounds and music, as well as playing from and interpreting different kinds of sources are being explored. Today, countless teachers and institutions are using these ideas. More and more teachers look for ways of invovling their students in active music making. In particular, they seek to challenge their pupils' creativity by the use of music, dance and speech - as media of human expression - as a foundation of all education. A prerequisite for work in Orff-Schulwerk is the artistic and pedagogical training of teachers. The Orff Institute was founded in 1961 as a Department of the 'Mozarteum', in Salzburg, Austria. Training offered includes a four-year diploma course, a two-year post-graduate course, and a one-year-course in English. At the opening of the Orff Institute in Salzburg in 1963, Carl Orff ended his speech with a quotation from Schiller: 'I have done my part, now do yours.' That challenge has been taken up by teachers worldwide.

Par MCHUGH JIMMY. 'I'm in the Mood for Love' is today a 'standard' song released in 1935. The music was written by Jimmy McHugh, with lyrics by Dorothy Fields. The song was introduced by Frances Langford in the film 'Every Night at Eight' and released that year. It became Langford's signature song. Bob Hope, who often worked with Langford entertaining troops in World War II, later wrote that her performance of the song was often the show-stopper. This is one of the most recorded songs out there, from contemporary Billy Eilish to legends such as Luis Armstrong, Vera Lynn and Charlie Parker. The tune started as film music and has later been used in movies such as 'The Nutty Professor' and in “The Spike Jones Show”. Please try to create a 'ballroom' atmosphere around this song. It is possible to expand the solo part with more soloists (45 – 69) and you can choose whether you want to let everyone in part 3 play what is written, or let each one improvise. If you have piano or guitar, you can also let the bass line go together with them and cut out the wind parts. Use the score as a starting point to create an instrumentation that suits your ensemble! (Should some parts only be played by woodwind or brass?) There are quite a few additional notes in the chords. Therefore, balance is very important. Do not let 9ths or other dissonant notes stick out but let them melt into the harmony. / Date parution : 2023-07-31/ Répertoire / Ensemble Flexible à 5 Parties

Parti Orchestra. Par VIVALDI ANTONIO. The orchestral set contains: 3 copies of Vl I and 3 copies Vl II 2 copies of vla, 2 copies of cello 1 copy of organ, contrabass, trumpet and oboe. Today the Gloria RV 589 (BA 7674) is one of Vivaldi's best-known compositions and one of the most frequently performed sacred vocal works from the Baroque period. Vivaldi wrote the ; Gloria as a self-contained work in the style of a concertante mass. However, it was probably also performed within church services. The scoring of the solo voices (SSA) suggests that the work was written during his period at the Ospedale della Pietà, around 1716. In the twelve movements of the ; Gloria, Vivaldi displays the whole range of his mastery from festive, sublime outer movements to tender, transparently scored solo passages. Thesame mastery has also been applied to the ; Kyrie RV 587 (BA 8950), scored for two choirs and two groups of stringed instruments. The date of its composition remains unclear. It is a purely a choral work without solo passages. Both works can be performed independently but can also be combined as a kind of short mass. Although the authenticity of the autograph manuscript score is beyond doubt, these new editions contain some re-evaluations in phrasing and performance practice which go beyond what other editions have to offer. The Piano reductions are straightforward, clearly presented and preserve the character of the works. - Attractive choral pieces which can be combined to form a short mass./ Répertoire / Matériel D'Orchestre

Par MURAIL TRISTAN. (Prendre les mots 'légendes' et 'urbaines' dans leurs différents sens et en tester toutes les combinaisons) Légendes urbaines est le résultat d'une commande précise de l'Ensemble intercontemporain, à l'occasion d'un concert 'à thème', lui-même partie d'une saison thématique. Ces thèmes, comme l'on sait, sont: la ville, le voyage, et plus précisément, pour ce concert, New York - New York n'étant évidemment pas une destination de voyage pour moi, sinon celle d'un 'commuting' fréquent depuis ma résidence semi-rurale. Les thèmes littéraires ou visuels en musique ont fait couler beaucoup d'encre et plongent plus d'un dans la perplexité. La musique peut-elle exprimer ou raconter ? Est-il possible de ressusciter le poème symphonique ? D'écrire encore des opéras ? Si oui, est-il légitime de le faire, ou n'est-ce pas définitivement obsolète ? Comme je crois à la méthode expérimentale, j'ai décidé de relever le défi et de m'essayer au thème proposé, non sans garder quelque distance ironique vis-à-vis de l'exercice. Occasion aussi de rechercher quelques modèles et de ne pas se priver de références, plus ou moins transparentes, à quelques-uns de mes prédécesseurs sur le nouveau continent. Le modèle formel est celui des Tableaux d'une exposition, avec sa suite de vignettes sonores entrelacées de promenades - les références musicales, on pourra s'amuser à les deviner. Les allusions visuelles, points de départ ou d'arrivée de la rêverie musicale, ne seront pas l'Empire State Building, la Statue de la Liberté et autres cartes postales formatées pour le tourisme, mais plutôt les images et sensations suscitées par la fréquentation d'une ville à la fois très familière et tout à fait étrangère. Promenade 1 Les 'promenades' de Moussorgski s'effectuaient d'un pas à la fois martial et guilleret... Dans Manhattan, les distances sont grandes, qui inciteront à prendre plutôt le 'Subway', célèbre pour son infernal vacarme métallique. Par prudence pour nos tympans, on l'écoutera d'assez loin, accompagné d'appels de cuivres, le plus souvent sous forme de tierces descendantes - les 5 espèces de tierces permises par l'écriture en quarts de tons. Vacarmes métalliques et appels de cuivres ne se limitent d'ailleurs pas à constituer l'essentiel des 'promenades', mais envahissent les recoins de toute la pièce. Staten Island Ferry Autrefois, la 'skyline' (la ligne des gratte-ciels) de Manhattan surgissait pour le voyageur lentement sur l'horizon, objet de tous les rêves et de tous les espoirs, au terme d'une longue traversée maritime. Le bateau franchissait la rade de New-York, saluait au passage la Statue de la Liberté, et allait s'amarrer directement au pied des 'high-rises'. On se rappelle les vieux films et vues d'archives. New York ne s'aborde plus par la mer et cet aspect du rêve américain a donc disparu, mais on peut revivre l'expérience, dans une certaine mesure, en prenant le ferry de Staten Island. Au retour, on peut s'imaginer, accoudé à la rambarde d'un paquebot, découvrant la ville longtemps espérée... la vue est splendide, et le ferry gratuit - chose rare en ce pays. Central Park at twilight Superposition de musiques émanant de lieux différents, et se mouvant à différentes vitesses. Sensation étrange d'échapper un moment à la réalité de la ville dont les bruits ne parviennent qu'étouffés. Instants ambigus du crépuscule, brefs et éternels, bruissements dans les fourrés déjà obscurs (ce ne sont que les écureuils), les silhouettes des gratte-ciels s'illuminent une à une à travers les frondaisons. Chant harmonique de la 'Swainson's thrush' (grive à dos olive). Les derniers promeneurs se hâtent vers les sorties: de nos jours, il n'est plus très recommandé de rester écouter les sons de 'Central Park in the Dark'. Sunday Joggers Toujours à Central Park: le dimanche, s'installer le long de l'une des routes qui traversent le parc, et qui, fermées à la circulation, sont envahies par une foule ahanante, transpirante et clopinante. 'Joggers' de tous âge, sexe, taille, couleur et embonpoint - toutes vitesses, allures et harnachements. Certain(e)s promènent leur progéniture dans des poussettes de course (3 roues surdimensionnées, profilage aérodynamique), d'autres peinent à suivre leur(s) chien(s). Quelques tricheurs passent à vélo ou sur patins à roulettes. Toute une humanité pantelante défile devant vos yeux, et il faudrait être Daumier pour croquer le spectacle - ici c'est le prétexte d'une modeste étude sur les tempi superposés. Whirlwinds Le plan de Manhattan est intéressant: systématiquement rectangulaire, mais avec quelques grandioses irrégularités, en particulier celles provoquées par Broadway qui, vestige d'un vieux chemin indien, coupe diagonalement rues et avenues, provoquant de ce fait quelques extravagances architecturales et topologiques. Une autre conséquence du plan d'urbanisme - ou d'une absence de celui-ci - est que la circulation atmosphérique se trouve très fortement perturbée. Certains carrefours sont ainsi le siège de redoutables tourbillons venteux, en particulier ces carrefours complexes provoqués par l'intrusion de Broadway dans le damier urbain, ou encore la climatiquement terrifiante intersection entre Riverside et la 122ème rue, où la présence d'un clocher-gratte-ciel néo-pré-raphaélite perturbe fortement les masses d'air qui circulent le long de la rivière Hudson. Promenade 2 Plus agitée que la Promenade 1, et conduisant au triptyque suivant: George Washington Bridge 1 The Frozen River George Washington Bridge 2 'Non seulement les possibilités des harmoniques des sons seront-elles révélées dans toute leur splendeur, mais encore l'usage de certaines interférences créées par les partiels constituera-t-il une contribution appréciable. On pourra s'attendre à l'utilisation, jamais envisagée jusqu'à ce jour, des résultants inférieurs et des sons différentiels et additionnels. Une magie sonore totalement nouvelle !' (Edgar Varèse, extrait d'une conférence donnée à Santa Fe en 1936). George Washington Bridge, c'est notre Grande Porte de Kiev - et l'une des peu nombreuses voies d'accès à l'île de Manhattan (car Manhattan est une île, on l'oublie parfois). Une 'Grande Porte' en ferraille et en réfection permanente, mais qui fut un symbole de modernité en son temps et fascina, dit-on, Edgar Varèse, qui venait en surveiller l'avancement des travaux. C'est aussi l'occasion d'un triptyque intérieur, qui respecte la symétrie de l'ouvrage, ses deux piliers de métal argenté, son double pont d'où l'on peut jouir de vues somptueuses sur la skyline, le tout jeté sur un fleuve parfois gelé en hiver. C'est enfin un hommage à l'intuition prophétique de Varèse, dont la citation ci-dessus décrit très précisément les types d'harmonies développés quarante ans plus tard par les techniques dites 'spectrales' - sans que lui-même n'ait pu mettre ces idées en application. Promenade 3 Au ralenti, et tuilée avec: Hyperlinks Où des connexions s'établissent subitement entre divers moments entendus précédemment - établissement de 'liens' inattendus entre textures les plus opposées. Promenade 4 Rappel de la promenade 1, puis retour à Central Park, qui maintenant s'enfonce dans la nuit - dernier chant de la grive à dos olive...

Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Study score format 22. 5 x 16. 5cm Bach ’s Christmas Oratorio, composed in 1734, narrates the story of the birth of Jesus in a cycle of six cantatas with a text probably by Christian Friedrich Henrici (known as Picander) who provided several libretti for Bach during his Leipzig period. Like the St. Matthew and St. John Passions, the Christmas Oratorio is narrated by an Evangelist and includes devices from Italian opera such as the recitative and aria. It was written to be performed during the thirteen days of Christmas of the Lutheran Church calendar (25 December – 6 January) allowing the wondrous story of theGospel to gradually unfold. - Full score and performance material (BA5014), vocal score (BA5014-90) and study score (TP85) available for sale. - Urtext of the New Bach Edition. / Oratorio / Répertoire / Partition de Poche

Par HOSAY JAMES L.. Blackbeard and his crew of ruffian freebooters, aboard the ship Queen Anne’s Revenge, were the terrors of the Atlantic and the Caribbean in the early 18th century. Composer James L. Hosay captures those turbulent times in music with his vivid and exciting new tone poem, SWORDS AGAINST THE SEA. This presents an excellent opportunity for cross-curriculum teaching with history. SWORDS AGAINST THE SEA carves out new territory all its own. A rollicking sea chantey and the emotions of impending battle are described in the first two movements. Your audience will thrill to the sound and fury of battle in the final movement, as the most feared Pirate of his day finally meets his match. Go ahead! Raise your spyglass! Look ahead, look astern, look a’weather and a’lee! / Niveau : 3 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Dramma giocoso in zwei Akten. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS.

Par OFFENBACH JACQUES. This is the last of nearly 100 operettas created by French composer Jacques Offenbach, a native of Germany whose works were most prominent in the latter half of the nineteenth century. His three-act drama Les Contes d'Hoffmann (The Tales of Hoffmann), which includes a prologue and epilogue, recounts dramatic stories of passion, murder, and revenge. Left incomplete at the composer's death, the operetta debuted in 1881 and remains popular to this day for its many memorable melodies. A masterpiece of French Romanticism, Les Contes d'Hoffmann embodies Offenbach's wish to transcend the limitations of his popular operettas and achieve success among the lofty heights of grand opera. This imaginative score presents an artful blend of fantasy, emotion, and the supernatural as well as elements of satire and the grotesque. Hoffmann, the narrator and protagonist, relates three stories to his drinking companions. The tales concern Olympia, who is revealed as a mechanical doll- Antonia, a gifted vocalist in danger of singing herself to death- and Giulietta, a Venetian courtesan who uses a magic mirror to purloin others' reflections. Reproduced from an authoritative score, this edition offers musicians and music lovers a modestly priced edition of Offenbach's enduring work./ Répertoire / Orchestre

Par CURNOW JAMES. Certain to become a staple of Grade 3 band literature this great new composition represents James Curnow at his finest. Beginning and ending with an exciting fanfare that contrasts various melodic, rhythmic, harmonic and stylistic concepts, The Spirit Soars captures the enduring spirit of today’s youth in music. The joyous scherzo energized with buoyant energy and an exquisite contrasting lyrical theme, many moods, and a grandioso finale all combine to ensure this piece becomes a landmark of literature for this level.

Par DE HAAN JACOB. A collection of 5 short works in pop style which can be performed by any kind of compilation. The titles can be presented on the programme as separate works but the Universal Band Collection can also be performed as a complete suite. From a didactic point of view it is a suitable work to teach musicians something about the structure in music. For this purpose not only the big structure but also the small structure was kept very clear. Western Girl : A girl from the west of the USA rides her horse across the prairie, dreaming of her future. The rough structure: introduction - theme in a blues scale - the same thing in a different instrumentation - finale. Just a ballad : A balladin pop style with a rough A-B-A form. First there is the introduction of the main theme (A), then follows a tenor melody in minor with a rhythmical reference to the main theme (B). Finally there is the main melody, performed tutti with a different rhythm in the drums (A'). Play the Game : An English saying meaning: play fairly. Playful music in up-tempo with a wink to China, where almost all games are manufactured nowadays. Once again an A-B-A structure here. San Diego : A Mexican fugitive enjoys his freedom in America but also remembers his place of birth with melancholy. A sad minor melody with a straight trendy beat appears twice. The second time it has a slightly different instrumentation, in which the muted trumpets represent the Mexican feeling. Final Dance : Eventually there is a dance with an introduction in renaissance style, followed by a fast dance in rock style. All this composed in a classical song structure: introduction, verse, bridge, chorus, shortened verse, bridge, chorus, chorus. / Niveau : 2 / Musique légère originale / Répertoire / Concert Band
