Arcadia is a work for Violin, Soprano Saxophone and Piano, inspired by the painting 'Pastoral for E.W.' by John Craxton. As a painter, John was sometimes dubbed a 'neo-Romantic', but much preferred the term 'Arcadian' - hence the title of the piece. Pastoral for E.W. was painted in 1948 in St John's Wood after one of John's early trips to the island of Crete, and is a homage to Peter Watson, (co-founder of the magazine 'Horizon' and the Institute of Contemporary Arts), who was one of John's early mentors. In a letter in 1986, John recounted that: ''Pastoral for P.W.': was a celebration of the power of music. My sister (the distinguished oboist Janet Craxton) was learning the oboe on the same floor at the time, and the house was full of her scales and exercises coupled with my discovery that goats, which seem to be daemonic, willful and undisciplined, are held in thrall by the sound of a flute - or have I gone a step further and frozen them into my geometry with a paint brush? I suppose the flautist was in origin myself, but a very emblematic me!' Ian Collins in his book 'John Craxton' (2011 Lund Humphries) says of Pastoral for E.W.: 'A pipe-player and a herd of goats are held in a rugged grid of semi-cubist triangles. While references to Dionysus and Orpheus may be noted, it is essentially a fanfare for the ongoing life, light and landscape of Greece'. The music of Arcadia is also Grecian in inspiration. The traditional folk melodies Skaros Epirotikos, Vari Pogonisio, Ouzak To Tragoudhi Tis Xentias and Pentozalis - Pentozalis are present in Arcadia, after I researched the type of music that John would have heard in Crete in the late 1940's. In a letter of 3rd May 1984, John said that he was also listening to Stravinsky's Symphony in 3 Movements 'over and over again at the same time when I first started the painting', and aspects of the beginning of the last section of Arcadia (Allegro Moderato) pay homage to the Stravinsky, in an attempt to create something of the aural landscape that John would have been experiencing during his painting of Pastoral for E.W. As a personal friend, John was always encouraging and colourful in his comments about the music I played at the Craxton house in Hampstead (where I continue to rehearse and teach), and some of the jazzier themes and tonalities in Arcadia are simply the sort of music that would get him enthused, and (almost) dancing. ARCADIA is written for and dedicated to the memory of John Craxton RA (1922 - 2009). JOHN HARLE. The first performance of Arcadia was given by Pavel Spørcl (Violin) John Harle (Soprano Saxophone) and Steve Lodder (Piano) In a concert for The Craxton Trust on September 23rd 2012 at Craxton Studio, Hampstead, London. A recording is available on Sospiro Records. / Violon, Soprano Saxophone Et Piano

A student of Gabriel Fauré and Louis Verne at the Paris Conservatoire, Nadia Boulanger (1887-1979) owes her aura to an exceptional teaching career spanning nearly 75 years, during which she trained the most illustrious musicians, from Copland to Glass not to forget Bernstein or Gardiner. In the past few years, her creative work, long considered negligible, has finally been escaping from oblivion thanks to the untiring work of the Centre Nadia et Lili Boulanger, directed by Alexandra Laederich. It is at her instigation that the publication of Nadia Boulanger's songs has continued in chronological order: after a first collection (HA 9725) devoted to the youthful works brought out during her lifetime by the publisher Hamelle, the second volume, presented here, exclusively features unpublished works. First of all, it contains three Romantic mélodies in German on poems by Heine ' a surprising choice given that the composer felt more attracted by Symbolist poetry. This is attested to by the other songs in the collection, on verses by Paul Verlaine, Maurice Maeterlinck and Georges Delaquys, three poets who were part of the literary pantheon of Nadia and her sister Lili. One will discover treasures of refinement and sensitivity in their musical settings. Ach! die Augen sind es wieder (Heinrich Heine) Heures ternes (Maurice Maeterlinck) La Mer (Paul Verlaine) Le beau navire (Georges Delaquys) O schwöre nicht! (Heinrich Heine) Was will die einsame Thräne (Heinrich Heine)

Par HIROSE HAYATO. For this work, the Japanese composer Hayato Hirose dug deep into his own imagination to fi nd the right inspiration. It is about a young boy who dreams about reaching paradise (Arcadia) and sets out on a journey to find it. This journey is long and treacherous, but despite the many challenges he faces, the boy finally does reach his Arcadia. The result is a very dramatic work that will take your audience on a breath-taking journey. / Niveau : 3 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Par BUCKLEY ROBERT. Cascadia Suite est une promenade musicale aérienne au-dessus des montagnes majestueuses, des lacs et cours d’eau d’une pureté cristalline et des paysages grandioses de la côte Pacifique Nord-Ouest du continent nord-américain. Le titre de l’oeuvre s’inspire de la célèbre chaîne montagneuse des Cascades. La région qui l’entoure abonde en panoramas époustouflants, forêts pluviales luxuriantes et paysages enchanteurs. Le premier mouvement, intitulé Cascadia, dépeint le décor côtier face à la mer avec des vues spectaculaires des îles-Gulf et des îles San Juan. Les dauphins s’amusent dans les vagues et les oiseaux volent dans le ciel. La vie sauvageest abondante. Le second mouvement porte le nom d’un petit bout de fôret magnifique situé sur l’île de Vancouver, Cathedral Grove (La forêt cathédrale). À travers ce charmant poème symphonique, vous découvrirez quelques-uns des plus vieux et plus grands arbres du monde. Le climat musical illustre à merveille l’atmosphère particulière qui émane de ce site exceptionnel. Le troisième et dernier mouvement, intitulé Sea to Sky (“De la mer au ciel”), offre un survol de l’immensité de l’Océan Pacifique à la beauté sauvage du mont Whistler. / Niveau : 4 / Pièce de concert / Date parution : 1905-06-29/ Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Par BOULANGER NADIA. June 1914. Nadia Boulanger is at the height of her composing career, which she pursues alongside her other musical activities - concert performance and teaching - though only a few years later, she will deliberately give it up. Right now, however, she has gone to meet her sister Lili in Rome, where the two young musicians, united by a deep affection, will put their study trip to good use in the gentle Italian spring. Dated June 5th, these Little Piano Pieces shine with a lighthearted charm - and that's not the least of their appeal. These three sparkling miniatures, published here for the rst time, will delight all pianists curious to explore this little-known repertoire./ Répertoire / Piano

Le compositeur tchèque Fuc Juliusik (1872-1916) a étudié violon, basson et - avec Antonín Dvorák - composition au Conservatoire de Prague. Au cours de sa période comme un Bugles dans l'armée austro-hongroise, il a écrit un certain nombre de marches populaires. Certaines d'entre elles, tels que ' Florentiner-Marsch 'et' entrée des gladiateurs ', également connu sous le nom ' musique de cirque', sont considérés comme étant la quintessence de leur genre. Cet arrangement pour trio à cordes propose une musique agréable et enrichissante pour les joueurs et rend cette charmante pièce disponible à un plus large auditoire. / Violon, Alto Et Violoncelle
