The Chants du
Rhin (Songs of the
Rhine), a cycle of six
pieces, based on poems by
Joseph Mery, were written
in 1865, and Bizet
performed two of them on
16 April 1866 at a soiree
of the Beaujolais
Philharmonic Society. The
songs are grouped
symmetrically around La
bohemienne as the central
piece, framed by two
meditatively yearning
pieces (in E and D flat
major) and two vividly
exuberant ones (similarly
in E and D flat major),
with L'aurore serving as
an
introduction.
In
this cycle Bizet takes up
the theme of the gypsy
girl which had already
entered European music in
the operas The Bohemian
Girl by the Irish
composer Michael William
Balfe and Verdi's Il
trovatore, as well as in
Franz Liszt's Hungarian
Rhapsodies for piano.
Bizet will return to it
one year later in La
jolie fille de Perth and
ten years later in
Carmen. The fourth piece
Les confidences shows
similarities in tonality,
structure and motifs to
the middle part of the
third movement of
Chopin's Sonata in B
minor.

French composer, Alfred
Desenclos (1912-1971)
described his music as
romantic. His music is
expressive and
atmospheric, as heard in
his Plainchant and
Allegretto for Trombone
and Piano. Desenclos
studied at the Roubaix
Conservatory and he won
the 1942 Prix de Rome.
His Plainchant and
Allegretto was published
in 1965, towards the end
of the composer's life. A
typical performance lasts
around eight minutes, in
which the Trombone solo
line is enhanced by
rhythm, and technique. As
expected, the two
movements are
contrasting, suitable for
the advanced trombonist.
For all Trombone players
seeking alternative and
challenging repertoire,
Desenclos' Plainchant and
Allegretto makes for a
riveting performance.

The
Partita for trombone and
piano is the latest
example of Bryan Kelly's
genius for writing bright
and idiomatic miniatures
for a range of
instruments. From the
stately opening
'Fanfare', melodious
'Song' and sombre
'Chorale Prelude' to the
genial 'Burlesque', and
soulful 'Envoi', no
aspect of this most
characterful member of
the brass family is
neglected. Both treble
clef and bass clef parts
are included with the
score. The five pieces of
this new Partita will be
attractive to all
trombonists, especially
to adventurous young
players of around Grades
3 to 5 standard who are
keen to explore new
repertoire.
