Studie Zu 'Tristan Und Isolde'. Par WAGNER RICHARD. The sophisticated choral arrangements by Clytus Gottwald have found a place in concert life throughout the world. Now Gottwald has arranged two of Richard Wagner’s Wesendonck Lieder, “Im Treibhaus” and “Träume”, for 16-voice choir a cappella. In his choral transcriptions Gottwald has transferred to traditional music the compositional techniques from new music which he developed during his long tenure as founder and director of the chamber choir Schola Cantorum. He makes audible the structures of the works he transcribes through the use of a finely differentiated sound. / Musique contemporaine / Répertoire / Choeur SSSSAAAATTTTBBBB et Piano (seulement Pour L

Dramatisches Gedicht. Par VASKS PETERIS. La région lettone Zemgale est tristement célèbre pour les atrocités commises au XIIIe siècle et en 1949.

'The Schott Recorder Consort Anthology' presents a wealth of music from the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries. Although the bulk of the collection is laid out for a variety of four-part ensembles there are also duets and trios, as well as five- and six-part pieces. The repertoire includes both original instrumental works and transcriptions of vocal pieces. There are lively and stately dances, fantasias, and arrangements of expressive madrigals, catchy chansons and more restrained religious pieces; all are chosen for their effective realization by recorder consorts. 136 Renaissance pieces with notes on sources, editorial technique and interpretation. Volume I contains a valuable introduction to the series and to the art of consort playing. 2-6 recorders: Descant, Treble, Tenor, Bass in various combinations./ Recueil / Flûte à Bec
