Par LUTHER ADAMS JOHN. The Light Within for ensemble is a companion piece to The Light That Fills the World, the harmonic colours of this new piece are more complex and mercurial than those of its outward-looking predecessor. Within this more introspective sonic space, the light changes more quickly, embracing darker hues and deeper shadows. / Date parution : 2023-10-31/ Répertoire / Ensemble de Chambre

Par RHEINBERGER JOSEF GABRIEL. Rheinberger’s string quartets, his string quintet and his nonet for winds and strings were often performed and were very successful works during his lifetime. Their density, but also the delicateness of the scherzo movements are in the tradition of Schumann and Mendelssohn and these traits are combined with Rheinberger’s sense for the clear, defined structure of the movements and solid contrapuntal writing. The octet for winds and strings is published here for the first time and the nonet, which is actually a reworking of this octet that Rheinberger undertook some twenty years later, is also published in this volume. Rheinberger made major changes from the original octet and headded two new movements to the nonet. Both works show especially the interest and pleasure which he derived from the variety in the differentiation of colors in ensemble playing. The Thema mit Veränderungen op. 93, which until now has been known as a work for string quartet, is published here with the double bass part which Rheinberger later added./ Répertoire / Ensemble de Chambre

Par RUTTER JOHN. The instrumentation for this work is the same as Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No.5. The Suite is made up of six movements ranging from a 'Bach-like Aria' to a 'Richard Rodgers-style Waltz'. Rutter's own style comes through most strongly in the final Rondeau with its characteristically forward-driving rhythms and beautiful melodic lines. Evoking an 'antique' spirit, each movement is based on a Baroque or Classical style. / Date parution : 2021-12-09/ Répertoire / Orchestre de Chambre

Par COUPERIN FRANCOIS. Couperin Concerts royaux 1722 (Score and Parts) This edition contains Couperin?s four ?Concerts royaux?, which were published in 1722 as part of Book III of his ?Pièces de clavecin?. For the first time it makes these pieces, scored for chamber ensemble, separately available in an Urtext edition. It is based on the musical text of the solo harpsichord version found in the pioneering new edition of ?Pièces de clavecin III? (BA 10846). The editor has painstakingly evaluated the many impressions of the original print, most of which he himself discovered in libraries throughout the world. The preface (Fr/Eng) contains informative details on historical performance practice and on the conception of the ?Concerts royaux?, which Couperin expressly intended to be performed either by solo harpsichord or with accompanying ensemble. The modern engraving preserves essential features of the original print, which largely avoids page-turns within the pieces. It thereby brings today?s players close to the special sound of this music in a fascinating way. Couperin?s table of embellishments and symbols as well as a glossary (Fr/Eng) and a detailed Critical Commentary (Eng) round off this long-overdue Urtext edition. - First separate Urtext edition of the ?Concerts royaux? for chamber ensemble, based on the pioneering new edition of Book III of the ?Pièces de clavecin? (BA 10846) - Preserves essential features of the original notation as well as Couperin?s original embellishment signs - Notes on historical performance practice, glossary, Couperin?s table of embellishments and symbols (Fr/Eng) and detailed Critical Commentary (Eng) / Date parution : 2022-05-31/ Recueil / Ensemble de Chambre
