All aspects of duo playing are supported, such as voice leading, sound balancing, and intonation. These original pieces are also very well suited for concerts, auditions and competitions. / Niveau : Facile à Intermédiaire / Recueil / 2 Flûtes à Bec

In keeping with the efforts of developing a curriculum that fosters Comprehensive Musicianship, this string orchestra arrangement of three of the most popular Renaissance madrigals, will provide your students with a peak into this period of music history that is frequently overlooked. 'Now Is the Month of Maying,' 'Sing We and Chant It,' both by Thomas Morley, and 'Fair Phyllis,' by John Farmer, are basic choral repertoire found in most high school and college full SATB and madrigal ensembles. The string ensemble may perform the arrangement alone with the added Renaissance style percussion. Or, better yet, why not enhance the performance by adding an SATB chorus thereby sharing the stage with your school's most advanced choral ensemble? (5:00) / Orchestre A Cordes

Transcribed for Classical Guitar. Par MASCOTT PAUL. This book of 53 intermediate-level guitar pieces is derived from Le Secret des Muses, a two-volume collection of lute tablature by Nicolas Vallet (c. 1583 ? c. 1642). Born in France, by 1614 Vallet had relocated to Amsterdam where he established a dance school and was active as a composer, lute teacher and leader of a consort that played at weddings and festivals.Le Secret des Muses is among the last published collections of French lute tablature intended for the 10-course Renaissance lute, which was ultimately supplanted by the larger 13-course Baroque model. Most of these pieces consist of traditional European dance forms, but also contains a few settings of popular lute themes and longer works suitable for concert performance are included. Written in standard notation only with occasional drop-D tuning, these pieces make excellent sight-reading and warmup material as well as historically significant concert selections. / Date parution : 2021-11-03/ Recueil / Guitare

Création 07/06/2017 - Paris, Fondation Louis Vuitton - Classe d'excellence de Gautier Capuçon Commanditaire Fondation Louis Vuitton O salutaris hostia est le titre d'une hymne chrétienne composée par Saint Thomas d'Aquin. Cette hymne a inspiré nombre de compositeurs de la renaissance dont Josquin des Prés, Thomas Tallis et un de mes musiciens favoris, Pierre de la Rue, qui vécut à la lisière entre les 15e et 16e siècles. Le O salutaris hostia de ce dernier est une courte pièce à quatre voix à laquelle j'ai appliqué, chose inédite chez moi, des principes d'écriture automatique. J'ai tout d'abord étiré le squelette harmonique de l'oeuvre originale sur 7 minutes et 30 secondes (ce qui multiplie la durée totale par 5 par rapport à l'original) puis j'ai défini une liste d'une vingtaine de modes de jeux. Ensuite, j'ai appliqué ces modes de jeux à l'harmonie existante en organisant des transitions progressives d'une configuration à une autre. De ce fait, malgré l'activité instrumentale permanente et la transformation perpétuelle de la texture, un sentiment de temps étiré et de contemplation s'installe par la régularité du propos. Je me suis souvent inspiré de modèles du passé pour écrire des oeuvres (Gesualdo, Schubert, Schumann) mais c'est la première fois que le modèle est aussi prégnant malgré les traitements qui lui sont appliqués.
