Op. 106. Par REGER MAX. Max Reger?s setting of Psalm 100 is one of the ?grand style? choral-symphonic works of the classical modern repertoire. Contrapuntal skill in the tradition of Bach combines with overwhelmingly powerful expressiveness, rich in contrasts. The full harmonic and stylistic breadth of the early 20th century sings out, not only in frenetic song, but also in the search for awareness in quieter passages. Reger?s opulence, tonal and contrapuntal almost throughout, finally culminates in a double fugue with an off-stage orchestra similar to the trumpets of Jericho over ?Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott?. The composer?s declared aim was: ?The psalm must go so brilliantly, that all will be simply ?bowled over?.? / Date parution : 2023-03-11/ Répertoire / SATB [Divisi] et Piano

Arrangement For Piano. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN / BUSONI FERRUCCIO. Aside from the Violin Chaconne (HN 557) and the ten Chorale Preludes for Organ (HN 1293), the Prelude and Fugue in D major ranks among the best-known Piano transcriptions Busoni fashioned from J. S. Bach’s works. Considerable evidence suggests that he viewed these three pieces as paradigmatic examples of his transcription technique. Busoni ’s explicit labelling of the Prelude and Fugue “for concert performance” in the title already serves as an indication of the heightened virtuosic requirements. And, indeed, here Busoni demands that the pianist have perfectly mastered the keyboard, always with the aim of delegating to the Piano, effectively but still in the spirit of Bach, the mighty sound-world of the Organ work. This Urtext edition is heartily recommended to all those pianists who have ever wanted, finally, to pull out all the stops on the Piano. / Schaper, Christian / Scheideler, Ullrich / Répertoire / Piano

sur un poème d?Étienne de Jouy. Par SAINT-SAENS CAMILLE. Bien loin de constituer un ouvrage isolé dans l??uvre de Camille Saint-Saëns, le Ch?ur de sylphes appartient à un petit ensemble réalisé au début de sa carrière dans le contexte particulier du concours pour le prix de Rome. Institué en 1803, supprimé dans la foulée des événements de mai 1968, ce dernier fut pendant plus d?un siècle et demi le plus convoité des prix français de composition musicale. Organisé par l?Institut, il garantissait à ses lauréats, à défaut de l?assurance d?une future carrière sans embûches, du moins l?entrée par la grande porte dans le monde artistique et quelques années de pension en Italie, à la villa Médicis. De fait, bien peu résistèrent à l?attrait de cette récompense susceptible de marquer avec éclat l?aboutissement de longues années d?études. Qu?une personnalité comme Saint-Saëns s?y soit présenté n?a finalement rien d?étonnant. Mais bien qu?appelé à devenir au tournant du siècle l?un des plus illustres représentants de l?art académique, il n?obtint jamais, malgré deux participations, le fameux premier grand prix. Le concours était alors organisé en deux épreuves distinctes : la première, éliminatoire, consistait en la réalisation d?une fugue et d?un ch?ur avec accompagnement d?orchestre sur un poème donné, la seconde en la composition d?une grande cantate pour trois voix solistes. Saint-Saëns lui-même en écrira deux, Le Retour de Virginie (1852) puis Ivanhoé (1864). C?est entre le 5 et le 11 juin 1852, pour sa première participation au concours, que Saint-Saëns composa le Ch?ur de sylphes. Favorablement accueilli, il permit au musicien d?être placé en tête des six candidats admis pour l?épreuve finale. Mais il est vrai qu?objectivement le poème proposé avait tout pour lui permettre de briller. Tiré d?un livret d?Étienne de Jouy et de Nicolas Lefebvre, Zirphile et Fleur de myrte, déjà mis en musique par Charles-Simon Catel (1818), l?extrait choisi (acte I, scène 4) était particulièrement adapté à l?exercice. En quelques pages fermement tracées, Saint-Saëns parvient à transcrire l?atmosphère merveilleuse, toute en légèreté, du monde des esprits de l?air. Sous bien des aspects, le résultat obtenu n?est pas sans rappeler le « Scherzo » du Songe d?une nuit d?été de Mendelssohn (1843), compositeur auquel il vouait un véritable culte. Certes, comme toute ?uvre de jeunesse, le Ch?ur de sylphes fut écrit sous influence. Dans la perspective du prix de Rome, le morceau avait en outre été pensé pour répondre à diverses exigences que d?aucuns dénoncèrent par principe comme passéistes. Au-delà de ces réserves un peu simplistes, l?ouvrage n?en reste pas moins un exemple abouti de la grande tradition académique française et de son idéal d?élégance et de clarté. Derrière son indéniable maîtrise de la forme et de l?écriture, l?auteur nous dévoile un travail qui, sans être révolutionnaire, recèle d?indéniables beautés. / Date parution : 2024-01-10/ Répertoire / Choeur SATB et Piano

Craig McLeish writes of The Negro Speaks of Rivers - Langston Hughes (1902-1967) was the first black American to earn his living from writing. He was an innovator of jazz poetry, becoming part of the Harlem Renaissance in the 1920s and 1930s. He wrote plays, short stories, novels, and his poetry was widely read. He was also a journalist, columnist and lecturer. The Negro Speaks of Rivers was perhaps his earliest published work, written when only 17 and while travelling by train to Mexico to visit his father. As the train crossed the Mississippi he suddenly began thinking about how rivers had impacted on Negro history, particularly in the fight against slavery. The four rivers mentioned in the poem lent themselves to using musical influences from those particular regions. However, I have tried to keep these links fairly tenuous to avoid overt pastiche. A few years ago I was fortunate enough to work with Congolese musicians. These sessions led to the intricate rhythms in The Congo . The Mississippi mentions New Orleans, so a jazz fugue seemed the most appropriate compositional device to weave into the texture. The spirit of The Nile was gauged from many hours listening avidly to Egyptian music. Craig McLeish began his musical life as a chorister at St Paul's Cathedral. As a bass guitarist, conductor, musical arranger and composer, he has worked with a wide variety of groups in several genres, and scored a hit with the cult pop band 'Fat and Frantic'. He is musical director of Young Voices UK, and conducts several youth and community choirs in and around Milton Keynes. / Choeur SATB

Aulos to a certain degree continues Orbán's easy piano pieces for children, which he composed for Ágnes Lakos's piano tutor and which Editio Musica Budapest published in a separate volume entitled Enchanted Forest in 2011 (Z. 14742). Yet on this occasion the composer took on something which was both significantly different and more than his earlier pieces for children. On the one hand, he did not compose for beginners but for more advanced students who have studied piano for at least three years. On the other, he did not set developing the technique of piano playing as an aim, rather a systematic presentation of different polyphonic genres and compositional procedures (imitation, fugue, stretto, inversion, augmentation and diminution, double counterpoint, latent polyphony, double and triple fugue, cantus firmus technique, etc.). Orbán introduces his students to the mysteries of polyphony in a direct and practical manner, and thus actually makes them familiar with the art of composition.The educational use of the series is significantly increased by the fact that before each piece the composer presents and clarifies with demonstrative illustrations the polyphonic procedure he introduces. Orbán's explanations are not text-book-like at all, but are deliberately personal and subjective, full of lessons and individual associations taken from his practice as a composer. They were written in the same spirit as the works themselves - while they perfectly fulfil their educational purpose they are equally individual, witty and inspired pieces of music that are a joy to play. / Piano
