Si les
recits de metamorphoses
furent tres populaires
dans l'Antiquite
greco-romaine, le recueil
du poete latin Ovide [43
av. J.-C./17 apr. J.-C.]
est de loin le plus
celebre. Les quinze
livres des
Metamorphoses
racontent la formation du
monde et les
transformations
legendaires des dieux et
des hommes en animaux, en
plantes ou en objets.
Parmi les nombreuses
histoires de
metamorphoses relatees
par Ovide, on trouve
celle de Marsyas, un
satyre originaire de
Celenes en Phrygie. Fils
d'Hyagnis, considere
comme l'inventeur de
l'harmonie phrygienne,
Marsyas excellait dans la
musique. Un jour, Athena
fit une flute double et
en joua a un banquet des
dieux. Tournee en
derisionpar Hera et
Aphrodite, et ayant
constate elle-meme, en
voyant le reflet de son
visage dans l'eau, que
l'instrument, quand elle
en jouait, lui deformait
les traits, elle jeta la
flute en maudissant
quiconque la ramasserait.
Cette malediction frappa
le satyre Marsyas qui la
trouva et en joua
magnifiquement, au grand
plaisir des paysans des
contrees phrygiennes qui
l'ecoutaient et qui
pretendirent que le dieu
Apollon en personne
n'aurait pu mieux faire
avec sa lyre. Apollon
entra dans une colere
formidable et proposa a
l'insolent satyre un
concours musical dont le
vainqueur pourrait faire
subir au vaincu le
chatiment de son choix.
Les Muses et le roi
Midas, choisis comme
juges, ne reussirent pas
a departager les
concurrents. Alors,
Apollon joua de la lyre a
l'envers et demanda a
Marsyas d'en faire autant
avec son instrument. Cela
etait impossible. Marsyas
n'y parvint pas, et
Apollon fut declare
vainqueur. Il se vengea
du satyre de la plus
cruelle facon : il
l'attacha a un pin et
l'ecorcha vif.Certains
racontent qu'Apollon, se
repentant de sa
vengeance, metamorphosa
en fleuve le corps de
Marsyas. D'autres
pretendent que le sang de
Marsyas ou les larmes
versees par les nymphes
et les satyres, prives
des enchantements de sa
flute, formerent le
fleuve de Phrygie qui
porte son nom. /

Charles
Gounod composed this
Requiem under the impact
of the death of his
four-year-old grandson,
Maurice. According to
information handed down,
while finishing the
details of this work he
was overtaken by death.
It was published
posthumously in various
constellations by his
pupil, Henri Busser, but
the only complete version
from the pen of Gounod is
the version for large
orchestra, which is
published here for the
first time in a critical
edition. Gounod's
Requiem, unlike many
contemporary settings of
the Mass of the Dead, is
not characterized by
darkness and terror.
Rather, with all of its
trepidation - expressed
through a marked
chromaticism - an
atmosphere of hopeful
expectation, of trust in
the grace and equity of
the divine judge
predominates. This
confidence finds its
expression in the choice
of the fundamental key of
C major, which is rather
unusual for a requiem.
The work was given an
impressive performance on
the occasion of the first
anniversary of Gounod's
death in the Parisian
church of
Sainte-Madeleine under
the direction of Gabriel
Fauré and it was
highly acclaimed by the
contemporary press. Score

Jacques
Offenbach was born in
1819 in Cologne, Germany,
but as a child he moved
to Paris where he
received a thorough
musical education. In his
operetta Orpheus in the
Underworld, Offenbach
parodies the famous Greek
legend of Orpheus and
Euridice. Indirectly,
however, he criticises
the complacency of many
of his contemporaries.
The overture was not
written entirely by
Offenbach, Carl Binder
added various pieces to
it for a Viennese
production of this
operetta in 1860 and
since then, these pieces
have remained part of the
composition. This
appealing transcription
includes the famous Can
Can which is sure to get
your audience high
kicking in the
aisles!
Jacques Offenbach
(1819-1880) coltivava

frivolezza delle
abitudini parigine,
sull’amore, sulla

Orfeo agli Inferni (1858)
è una parodia del mito
greco di Orfeo ed
Euridice, ma dietro la
facciata
dell’antichit , si
abbandona ad una critica
severa del comportamento
di sufficienza di
numerosi suoi

of the death of his
four-year-old grandson,
Maurice. According to
information handed down,
while finishing the
details of this work he
was overtaken by death.
It was published
posthumously in various
constellations by his
pupil, Henri Busser, but
the only complete version
from the pen of Gounod is
the version for large
orchestra, which is
published here for the
first time in a critical
edition. Gounod's
Requiem, unlike many
contemporary settings of
the Mass of the Dead, is
not characterized by
darkness and terror.
Rather, with all of its
trepidation - expressed
through a marked
chromaticism - an
atmosphere of hopeful
expectation, of trust in
the grace and equity of
the divine judge
predominates. This
confidence finds its
expression in the choice
of the fundamental key of
C major, which is rather
unusual for a requiem.
The work was given an
impressive performance on
the occasion of the first
anniversary of Gounod's
death in the Parisian
church of
Sainte-Madeleine under
the direction of Gabriel
Fauré and it was
highly acclaimed by the
contemporary press. Score
