Par VAUGHAN WILLIAMS RALPH. Of all his early chamber works, the Nocturne is most clearly by the mature Vaughan Williams, almost anticipating the influence of Ravel which followed his lessons from the French composer in 1908. In the veiled beauty of its highly chromatic harmonies we hear already the tone-poet of the slow movement of A London Symphony , while in the fleet-footed Scherzo there is already a French influence in the way the folk-song is subtly woven into the texture, only brief snatches of the tune being heard until the penultimate page when it receives fuller treatment. The work plays for about 10 minutes. The 1904 Scherzo is a vigorous march with fugal episodes which lasts some 6 minutes and may effectively be performed by itself. / Niveau : Elémentaire / Répertoire / Quintette à Cordes

From 'Enigma Variations'. Par ELGAR EDWARD. Nimrod est le nom donné à la neuvième variation et la plus connue des Enigma Variations d'Edward Elgar, une ?uvre orchestrale de 14 variations sur un thème original composé entre 1898 et 1899. Chaque variation est aussi un portrait de l'un des 14 membres de la famille d'Elgar et cercle d'amis. ?uvre célèbre à part entière, Nimrod est un portrait d'Augustus Johannes, son meilleur ami et également l'éditeur d'Elgar. br> En raison de leur portrait, chaque variation est intitulée avec un nom ou des initiales qui identifient la personne. Bibliquement, Nimrod est un grand chasseur de l'Ancien Testament, représentant ainsi sa muse à travers un jeu de mots : Jäger en allemand signifie 'chasseur'. La mélodie semble représenter une promenade nocturne au cours de laquelle les deux discutent des mouvements lents de Ludwig van Beethoven ; les huit premières mesures rappellent en fait le début du deuxième mouvement de la Sonate pour piano Pathétique. Un arrangement de musique classique signé Franco Cesarini qui se distingue par son instrumentation habile et soignée. / Date parution : 2023-08-12/ Répertoire / Concert Band/Harmonie

Full Score. Par ANDERSON JULIAN. Written for the Cleveland Orchestra in 2009, Fantasias was Julian Anderson's first multi-movement work for orchestra. This 23-minute showpiece abounds in vivid contrasts, from the jagged brass fanfares with which it opens to the headlong rush of its dazzling finale. At its heart is an extended and evocative nocturne, overflowing with all manner of brilliantly imagined sounds which its composer describes as a 'musical rainforest'./ Répertoire / Orchestre

for Wind Orchestra, Studyscore. Par CESARINI FRANCO. Fascinated by the beauty of Chicago, Franco Cesarini has translated his emotions into music: this is how Symphony No. 3 ?Urban Landscapes? Op. 55, was born, a musical portrait of this metropolis overlooking Lake Michigan. The composition is divided into three movements: The Wrigley Building from Dawn to Noon, Blue Silhouette and Cloud Gates, which by sharing the same thematic material arranged in cyclical form, strengthen the overall cohesion of the piece. The first movement, preceded by a short slow introduction in which the main theme is presented in an almost dreamlike form, metaphorically represents the city at dawn. The sudden change of time symbolizes the start of activities with all its noises and sounds: you can hear the bell that announces the closing of the subway doors, the sound of cars speeding by, the siren of a patrol car. If the first movement represents the day, the second introduces a nocturnal environment: a melancholic melody played by the English horn anticipates a more animated tempo depicting melodies coming from jazz clubs. Powerful fanfares that take up the second theme of the first movement introduce the third movement. In this finale, the role of the two themes is reversed compared to the first movement and one takes the place of the other in a kind of games of mirrors. Symphony No. 3 ?Urban Landscapes? Op. 55: a sumptuous musical portrait of the ?Windy City?./ Répertoire / Concert Band/Harmonie
