The composer Rudolf Kelterborn about his work: ?I call the ten compositions for baritone and piano ?DUOS? because the voice and instrument parts are treated musically with absolute equality and indeed often go their own independent ways. Two duos (?Alles Gold? and ?Gegenlicht in den Bergen?) come from the ?Ensemble-Book I? for baritone and 14 instruments with texts by Erika Burkart (1990).

The 10 duos do not form a complete cycle that can be heard only as an entire work.

Smaller groups can be put together and presented according to text-related or musical aspects. The texts are by authors who have continued to inspire me for years.? / [10 Duos Pour Baryton et Piano] / Classique / Partition / Agrafé /

for Baritone and Piano. Par PHILIPS JULIAN. Swift Partitions by Julian Philips is a 13-minute set of songs for baritone and piano. This setting of eight short poems by American poet Emily Dickinson, each exploring her relationship to the sea, is not narrative, but instead alternates philosophical meditations on the sea (Songs 1, 3, 5 8) with more immediate \'encounters\': a surreal walk with the sea (Song 2), two near drownings (Songs 4 5) and a river\'s almost erotic desire to join the ocean (Song 8). 1. An Everywhere of Silver 2. I started Early ? took my Dog 3. Though the great Waters sleep 4. The waters chased him as he fled 5. Water makes many Beds 6. Three times ? we parted ? Breath ? and I 7. Fortitude incarnate 8. My River runs to thee Completed in June 1998, Swift Partitions was commissioned by the Welsh baritone Jeremy Huw Williams, with funds from the Arts Council of Wales, and premiered with pianist Nigel Foster, at St Mary\'s Church Warwick, on 9 July 1998. The score (EP 73505) is available for sale. / Date parution : 2022-09-07/ Répertoire / Baryton et Piano
