Pie VI est le dernier pape du XVIIIe siècle, mort en 1799 en déportation à Valence, dans la Drôme. Son long pontificat a été marqué par la montée grandissante de la philosophie des Lumières dans son offensive antichrétienne et antiromaine, et par la Révolution française qui bouleversa les rapports anciennement établis entre monarchie et Eglise. L'année 2017 marque le tricentenaire de la naissance de ce pape italien et fournit l'occasion à la présente biographie d'évoquer la personnalité d'un homme confronté à la tourmente où risqua d'être emportée la papauté.Cet ouvrage restitue les grands moments de cet affrontement idéologique et politique qui met en jeu une conception nouvelle de la liberté et des rapports entre le pouvoir laïque et l'Eglise. / Livre

Vaughan Williams created this setting of Burnsâ?? later version of Caâ?? The Yowes with its original tune in 1922. This is a particularly atmospheric setting profiling lyrical solo male voices againstvery rich harmonies and varying this between the verses of the song. The Scottish folk song is arranged for Tenor solo and chorus of mixed voices with Piano accompaniment.Ralph Vaughan Williams was an Englishcomposer of symphonies chamber music opera choral music and film scores; as well as a collector of English folk music and song. He was one of the leading figures of the 20th century revival of English music and believed thatrestoring English music could only happen by studying and employing native resources rather than looking at foreign models. Today Williams is largely remembered for his â??musical nationalismâ?? although a greatercomplexity is attributed to it than in former times.

Reynaldo Hahn’s Songs And Madrigals for three- and four-part choir. The time machine has no secrets for Reynaldo Hahn (1874-1947). After plunging his contemporaries into the delights of Renaissance revelry with the ‘Bal De Béatrice D'Este’ the composer continued to explore the past with a tribute in 1907 to Rameau (in the final drumroll of the ‘Sonatine’ for Piano). He also published Songs And Madrigals composed on a selection of texts written by famous 15th and 16th century poets: Charles d’Orléans Jean-Antoine de Baïf and Agrippa d’Aubigné.Composed for three- and four-part choir (with optional Piano accompaniment duplicating the Vocals) these six Songs And Madrigals radiate a powerful charm that preserves them from affectation: Un Loyal Coeur envelops the listener in the polyphonic latticework of an enchanting melancholy while Vivons Mignarde borrows rhythmically from Lully to exalt the 'sweet life' that Coralie's lips promise to make even more voluptuous. With its seductive melody and expressive delays Pleurez Avec Moi! bestows heartrending accents upon the sighs of a desolate soul. En Vous Disant Adieu Comment Se Peut-il Faire Ainsi and Les Fourriers D'Eté round off this collection of deliberately archaic songs that exhale an irresistible freshness.

Par ABOULKER ISABELLE. Defenders of the oppressed and fighters against injustice, Victor Hugo and Emile Zola often put their genius to the service of great causes: the abolition of the death penalty and child labor, the advancement of women in society, the awareness of the Dreyfus affair' Conceived in the same years and under the same sky, the much less profound words of Baroness Staffe in her manual of good manners, vehemently denounce both the wearing of white socks and the dangers of orientalism. This musical chronicle will educate and intrigue middle and high school students and amuse adults as well. / Date parution : 2023-03-11/ Répertoire / Choeur Mixte, Narrateur et Ensemble
