Par ABOULKER ISABELLE / JANIKOVSZSK. Si J'Etais Grand is a song for Children and Baritone voices, composed by Isabelle Aboulker, with lyrics by Eva Janikovszky. It is only a part of the full piece, which is to be sung with a Flute, an Oboe, a Clarinet, a Bassoon and a Piano. Really easy, with range and intervals adapted to children's capacities, this song is very entertaining in term of lyrics and sonority. The lyrics focuses on what children are always asked to do which is not fun, such as washing hands before dinner, being always nice and quiet, staying seated among other things, while adults can do whatever they want to do. Children then sing whatthey would do if they were grown-ups. Quite energetic, this song is great for children and would be great for a concert. Isabelle Aboulker is a French composer specially known for her opera, her vocal works, and for her adaptations of stories and fables./ Répertoire / Choeur d'Enfants ou Baryton et Petit Orchestre ou

Tonalité : D-Dur -. Par HEINICHEN JOHANN DAVID. The Carus program featuring music of the Court of Dresden has been expanded with the publication of the first edition of the great masses of Johann David Heinichen, who, next to Hasse and Zelenka, was the most important musical representative of this capital of Saxony. A peculiarity of this work is the fact that Heinichen inserted an actual concerto movement for solo flute, 2 oboes, strings and continuo between the “Gloria” and “Credo, ” which recommends the Mass for concert performances. / Messe / Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB, 2 Flûtes Traversières,

Georg Frideric Händel 's Serse (Xerxes) has everything one would expect from a Baroque opera - many intertwining love stories, affairs, intrigues, scheming, misunderstanding and forgiving - all presented in the great master's magnificent music. The opera is set in Persia in 480 BC and is very loosely based upon Xerxes I of Persia, though there is little in either the Baroque libretto or music that is relevant to that setting, the main focus is on the characters ( Serse , Arsamene, Amastre, Romilda, Atalanta, Ariodate and Elviro - some of which are based on real historical persons) and their plotting. The English version for the opera in three acts was made for the English National Opera's production, first performed in 1985, on the 300th anniversary of Händel 's birth. In this edition of the Vocal score with the original Italian and the later English lyrics accompaniment is provided by the instruments indicated in the orchestration (2 Recorders (or Flutes), 2 Oboes, 2 Horns in F, Trumpet in D, Strings and Continuo [Harpsichord, Cello, Double Bass, Bassoon]), but can also be played by the Piano. Serse 's part, originally sung by a castrato, can be performed by a Soprano or a Countertenor. / Chant Et Piano

Bach composed his oratorio for the Feast of the Ascension in Leipzig in 1735. Though this work has the duration of a cantata, the choice of text places it among the oratorios. It combines the biblical account of the Ascension with chorales and free madrigal poems.As in other works which were composed during this same year (e.g. the 'Christmas Oratorio?), Bach reveals a special fondness for colourful orchestration, with two flutes, two oboes, three trumpets, timpani and strings, creating a splendid Baroque sound with a strikingly festive character.This edition is based on the thoroughly researched musical text from the 'New Bach Edition?.- Lavishly scored oratorio of a festive nature- Based on the 'New Bach Edition?- Bilingual foreword by Andreas Glöckner (Ger/Eng) / Violon I

Kantate Zum 3. Weihnachtsfesttag (Urfassung). Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Bach’s cantata BWV 151, whose wonderfully heartfelt opening aria has been rightly numbered among Bach’s “most inspired ideas” [Alfred Dürr], was composed for the 3rd day of Christmas 1725. Flute and oboe d’amore lend pastoral coloring to the chamber music sound picture. The oboe d’amore was not originally included in Bach’s score; after completing the score he added the part to the orchestra for the first performance. In a later performance about 1728–1731 Bach replaced the flute by a solo violin, adding various performing instructions and ornaments, of which a flautist can make use in his originally rather modest part. This new edition by Klaus Hofmann replaces the 1962publication by Diethard Hellmann./ Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB, Flûte Traversière, Ins

Following on the success of her two operatic works for children and teens - Douce et Barbe Bleue, Les Fables Enchantées, Little Thummie and Cendrillon (based on Perrault), as well as the adaptation of Maupassant's short story The Dumpling (2014) - Isabelle Aboulker once again hits the bull's eye with Myla And The Boat-Tree, a commission from the Villecroze Music Academy. In 2015, this musical tale for Narrator, Children's Choir and Instrumental Accompaniment, was awarded the 'Music for Young Performers Prize? by the French Music Publishers Association. Both in the French version and Marci Meth's excellent English translation, it provides the material for an enthralling educational adventure in which children between the ages of five and eight are invited into their first experience of opera and choir singing.With her trademark finesse and sensitivity, the composer tells the story of a little girl dealing with the death of a person she'd cherished above all: her grandfather. Written for choir in unison, this tale wafts shimmering melodies over an instrumental accompaniment suffused in turn with gentle melancholy and light humour. An art that speaks from an open heart.The work was written in three versions:for Narrator, Children's Choir and Piano (AL30732)for Narrator, Children's Choir and Trio (Clarinet in Bb, Cello and Piano: AL30733)for Narrator, Children's Choir and instrumental ensemble (Flute, Oboe, Clarinet in Bb, Bassoon, Horn, Trumpet in C, Trombone, Percussion, 2 Violins, Alto, Cello, Bass: AL30734)Choral score: AL30743 / Choeur A L'Unison Et Piano
