English. 'This set
of miniatures is based on
traditional dance songs
of the Yupik Eskimo
people of Western Alaska.
In their original forms,
these melodies would be
sung in unison. The
first, third and fifth
songs would be
accompanied by frame
drums. The second and
fourth are game songs,
for jumping rope and
juggling pebbles. Aside
from the obvious
difference in
instrumentation, my
settings of these songs
differ from the Yup'ik
originals in other
respects. I have extended
and varied the melodies,
and added
countermelodies, ostinato
figurations,
introductions, interludes
and codas. The first four
melodies are drawn from
the collection Yup'ik
Eskimo songs, compiled by
Thomas F. Johnston, and
Tupou L. Pulu, and
published by the
University Of Alaska. The
fifth was 'loaned' to me
by Yup'ik singer and
dancer Chuna McIntyre,
who learned it in his
village of Eek, Alaska.
The poems preceding each
piece are rough
translations of the words
to the songs. These
verses are often cryptic
and enigmatic. Their
obscurity is increased
because some of the words
or their meanings have
been lost, over time.' -

ce Ravel's Mother Goose
is arguably one of the
most well-known and
well-loved of Ravel's
works. Whether one
encounters it first in
its original iteration
for piano, four hands, or
in the sweeping orchestra
transcription, Mother
Goose leaves an
impression that isn't
soon forgotten. The
pieces are short, simple,
and descriptive, but are
nonetheless ravishing,
and beautifully showcase
Ravel’s genius and
compositional skills. Now
for the first time, the
entire work has been
transcribed for solo harp
by harpist Carl Swanson.
Each of the original five
movements has been
carefully edited, making
the pieces playable on
solo harp, while keeping
the spirit that Ravel
intended. Here is a
valuable addition to the
harp repertoire by one of
the greatest composers of
the twentieth century,
Maurice Ravel. $19.99 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 1 to 2 weeks | | |
