Par PUJOL MAXIMO DIEGO. Les Suites del Plata s'inspirent de la suite de danses, forme instrumentale très en vogue pendant la période baroque, qui était une série de danses populaires de différentes parties de l'Europe, toutes liées par un élément mélodique-rythmique et précédées d'un prélude. Les Suites del Plata rassemblent des pièces musicales de la région connue sous le nom de 'La Cuenca del Plata', un vaste bassin autour du Rio de la Plata et ses affluents, dans lequel une riche et abondante variété de danses, de formes et de styles de musique populaire a émergé et existe encore aujourd'hui. Dans la Suite n°4, une chanson 'littorale' (de la música litoraleña), 'Olor a domingo' (Odeur du dimanche), fonctionne comme un prélude et décrit l'atmosphère d'un dimanche après-midi calme et chaleureux. 'Urgente' (Urgent) est un tango qui nous fait découvrir le vertige et la folie d'une grande ville. 'Nublado' (Nuageux) est une milonga campagnarde par un après-midi gris dans l'immensité de la Pampa. 'San Cristobal' est une valse créole qui nous emmène dans l'un des quartiers les plus traditionnels de Buenos Aires. Cette suite se termine par 'En alpargatas' (en sandales de toile), un malambo, une danse pampéenne ancienne et traditionnelle à exécuter par un seul homme, dans laquelle le danseur montre son talent et son courage. Las Suites del Plata toman como modelo las Suite de Danzas, forma instrumental muy en boga durante el período Barroco, que era una serie de danzas populares de distintas partes de Europa, todas relacionadas por algún elemento melódico - rítmico y precedidas por un Preludio. Las Suites del Plata reúnen piezas musicales provenientes del área conocida como 'La Cuenca del Plata', una extensa geografía alrededor del Río de la Plata y sus afluentes, en la que surgió - y aún hoy conviven - una rica y abundante variedad de danzas, géneros y estilos populares. En la Suite del Plata n°4, una canción litoraleña, 'Olor a domingo', funciona como Preludio y nos describe el ambiente de una tranquila y calurosa tarde de domingo. 'Urgente' es un tango que nos introduce en el vértigo y la locura de una gran ciudad. 'Nublado' es una milonga campera en una tarde gris en la inmensidad de la Pampa. 'San Cristóbal' es un vals criollo que nos interna en uno de los más tradicionales barrios de Buenos Aires. Cierra esta obra 'En alpargatas', un Malambo, una vieja y tradicional danza pampeana para ser ejecutada por un hombre solo, en la que el bailarín muestra su destreza y coraje./ Répertoire / Guitare

Par PAUSET BRICE. 'Il m'est difficile de départager actuellement les raisons premières qui m'ont conduites à penser cette oeuvre un peu inhabituelle dans ma production. Raisons esthétiques d'abord: j'ai été frappé par les similarités sensibles et observables entre le répertoire pour mridangam d'Inde du sud d'une part, et par la musique du Codex Chantilly, et en particulier la célèbre 'Harpe de Mellodie' de Jacques Senlèche d'autre part. Dans les deux cas, j'entends une musique qui se mesure à ses propres codes, qui compose son propre vocabulaire en même temps qu'elle s'exprime avec ce même vocabulaire. J'entends une mise en crise du rapport entre vocalité et instrumentalité sous la forme d'une circulation permanente entre signifié et signifiant. J'y entends surtout une critique active des faux antagonismes entre science et plaisir. (...) Raisons politiques aussi: il me semble urgent de clairement définir les échanges et les dialogues entre les cultures sous l'angle de la similarité, et non de la différence, différence dont l'idéologie constitue une matrice de certitudes mortifères, de clivages artificiels. Le sujet principal du morceau, la répétition, loin de représenter un quelconque acte de vassalité à l''air du temps', ou pire, une marque de fabrique infantilisante et indéfiniment réitérée, constituerait le moteur même de l'inachèvement en acte, un inachèvement consubstantiel à toute velléité d'identité désireuse, néanmoins, de rester humaine et donc critiquable. Contre la liturgie du 'copy-paste', donc, un animisme du devenir. (...)' Brice Pauset / contemporain / Date parution : 2008-03-11/ Répertoire / 2 Percussions et Ensemble

This rousing triple meter choral is infused with traditional gospel harmonies, rhythms, and articulations, and the uplifting text conveys an urgent message for peace. The classic 'Dona Nobis Pacem' canon is quoted in three parts in the middle of the piece. An inspirational powerhouse! / 2 Parties Mixtes

Aus tiefer Not. Par RENTZSCH FRIEDHELM. Friedhelm Rentzsch, long a cellist in the Dresden Philharmonic, set Psalm 130, whose character of penitence is especially impressive here, through the reduction of the musical forces to a solo alto with orchestral accompaniment, and this in a most unique, urgent manner. Through the addition of a sombre text by Erich Arendt the subective manner of the song is placed in a worldly context encompassing all periods of time. Repeatedly, passages of a quiet character alternate with tutti phases which sometimes climax to passages employing clusters. / Psaumes / Répertoire / Solo A, Timbales, Percussions (4 Joueurs), 2 Violo

Instrumentation: piano Edition: score Publisher: Eberhard Mayer OEuvres pour piano/Klaviermusik/Piano Music Edition en 10 recueils/Edition in 10 Bänden/Edition in 10 volumes Volume 1: Femmes de Légende Editor: Eberhard Mayer Item no.: fue 4180 Difficulty: medium ISMN: 979-0-50012-918-9 Contents: Mélisande, Desdémona, Ophelie, Viviane, Ph?bé, Omphale und Salomé The pieces for piano represent a great stylistic variety. One gets the impression that Mel Bonis may have intended to give a summary of musical development, not quoting historic styles but adapting the past through her personal tone and to translate it into contemporary musical language. The first volume includes an original series of musical portraits dedicated to legendary women, where Mel Bonis explores the enigmatic feminine universe. ?Femmes de légende? A collection we have called ?Femmes de légende? contains seven piano pieces by Mel Bonis named after women whose fates have become legendary. They have not always been arranged in this way. The first piece, ?Mélisande?, was published separately by Alphonse Leduc in 1898. In 1909, a collection called ?Trois pièces pour piano? (Three pieces for the piano), dedicated to the composer Paul Locard and which included ?Ph?bé?, ?Viviane? and ?Salomé?, was published by Leduc. In 1913, ?Mélisande? was added to the four last pieces for a final collection called ?Cinq pièces?. ?Omphale? appeared in a Berlin edition ?Signale für die musikalische Welt? in 1910. As to ?Ophélie?, it was never published in Mel Bonis? lifetime and we discovered a manu-script in 1997 without any indication at all of when it was writ-ten. ?Ophélie? was first published by the publishing house Ar-miane in Versailles in 1998. Mélisande (1898) Written before Debussy?s famous opera, Mel Bonis? piano piece ?Mélisande? was also inspired by the poet Maeterlinck (Mélisande, 1893). These short pages of magical harmonies, of radi-ant impressionist colours use music to describe Mélisande?s hair as described by Pelleas: ?your hair and its beautiful light... It escapes everywhere, it shivers, it shakes, it trembles in my hand like a golden bird.? This piece enjoyed quite a success in Mel Bonis? lifetime. She noted of it ?my favourite? in the margin of her hand-written catalogue. Desdémona (1913) The female heroine in Shakespeare?s ?Othello? inspired Mel Bonis to write a nostalgic piece with a fairly easy, rather classical beginning, a kind of romance without words, of great elegance and of a deep and melancholic beauty. Ophélie Ophelia, the lover of Shakespeare?s Hamlet, is a deeply melan-cholic character who goes mad and drowns in mysterious cir-cumstances. Ophelia inspired the poet Rimbaud and the painter Millais ? each of them created a masterpiece. Mel Bonis too evokes images of water, sadness and death in music for a third work of art. With its delicate and chilling beauty and also with its moments of passion, this impressionist piece - the work which owes most to Debussy - calls for great intelligence when performed. Viviane (1909) The figure of the fairy of the lake is musically described here in a well-structured, many-facetted piece; first of all, the initial dancing theme has an air of the ?salon? about it, typical of its time, evoking the fairy?s charm, her smile. Then follow succes-sions of majestic chords and fluent harmonies which represent the underwater castle and the fairy?s power. This piece is easily approachable. Ph?bé (1909) The sister of Phoebus, the sun, symbolises the moon, the night, chastity. The piece creates an impression of night. Steeped in twilight, languor and a sense of immense space, the atmosphere is one of unreality. This feeling of alienation is reinforced by the incoherence of rhythm between the two hands. Salomé (1909) Inspired by the Orient, Mel Bonis creates a very original musical illustration of the biblical character of Salome. She is characterised by shifting moods in which slow syncopes follow light glissandos, and urgent, mysterious psalmodies accompany sensual melopeias, where surprising tempo varia-tions lead to outbreaks of violence. With its relatively difficult beginning, this piece is especially interesting from the viewpoint of research into interpretation. Omphale (1910) The queen of Lydia is a female character from the violent depths of Greek mythology. This powerful female is described here with glittering sensuality and Oriental subtlety. The impressive work shows a complex structure both in harmony and rhythm, it is a lively and rich work which calls for much thought and great virtuosity on the performer?s part. ?Omphale? was awarded a prize for composition by the Berlin magazine ?Signale für die musikalische Welt? in 1910.

Par VAUGHAN WILLIAMS RALPH. Boldly reimagined and completed by Martin Yates, The Future, a substantial non finito draft of a major choral setting of words by Matthew Arnold, dates from 1908, immediately after Toward the Unknown Region, and in the crucial year of Vaughan Williams’s three-month tutelage with Ravel in Paris. Urgent ecological concerns – strikingly relevant today no less than in the Victorian period of unprecedented industrial expansion – propel the broad sweep of Arnold’s prescient account of mankind’s past and its uncertain hereafter. The prophetic tone draws on similar images of river, estuary and ocean that inspired the finale of A London Symphony. The Future is around 35 minutes’ duration, for solo soprano, chorus and orchestra, and it will without question be seen as an essential link in the evolution of VW’s embracing universal vision of humanity, expressed uniquely for all time in A Sea Symphony. / Date parution : 2023-03-11/ Répertoire / Soprano, SATB et Orchestre

Niels W. Gade. Works Iv-9. Par WILHELM GADE NIELS. Works for Mixed Choir Niels W. Gade. Werks Volume IV/9 Niels Wilhelm Gade (1817& 1890) Works Edited by the Foundation for the Publication of the Works of Niels W. Gade, Copenhagen Niels W. Gade is one of the leading Danish composers of the nineteenth century. However only about half of his prolific œ uvre has appeared in print. Given this fact and the growing current interest in Gade, there is an urgent need for a scholarly-critical Urtext edition of his music to meet the demands of both scholars and performers. This edition will contain all of Gade's completed compositions and separate movements as well as the arrangements he madeof his own works and those of other composers. In general, the main text presents the ; definitive version based on Gade's personal copy of the printed work. However, all the remaining sources have also been consulted for purposes of comparison. Every editorial decision is mentioned and justified in the critical report (English). Gade's interest in choral music spanned his entire career. This volume presents more than 40 of his shorter works for mixed chorus, both without and with accompaniment (piano, organ, harmonium or, in one case, brass ensemble). They occupy a no less prominent place in his oeuvre than his large-scale choral works with orchestra. Written between 1839 and 1885, they were intended for many different areas of application: songs for school chorus stand alongside liturgical music, pièces d'occasion, chorales and freely composed works for amateur choirs. The best-known are his Five Songs (op. 13) on poems by Emmanuel Geibel and Ludwig Tieck and the motet O du, der du die Liebe bist, both composed in Leipzig in 1846./ Répertoire / Choeur Mixte
