Par WALLACE JOHN. Melodrama, sentimentality and sheer cockney cheek: the Victorian era was a period of extremes. With brass bands abounding in concert halls, bandstands and even street corners, first the cornet and then the trumpet flourished in this heady social and musical atmosphere. This varied collection of popular Victorian solos ranges from Sullivan's The Lost Chord to Koenig's Posthorn Gallop , with pieces idiomatically arranged for the intermediate trumpeter. So take a nostalgic trip, and recreate the spirit of a lost age. / Niveau : Assez Facile / Date parution : 2001-04-19/ Recueil / Trompette et Piano

Par ANDERSON JULIAN. A collection of eight engagingly quirky miniatures from 1997, Julian Anderson’s Poetry Nearing Silence was inspired by the work of artist Tom Phillips. The highly contrasted, often bizarre juxtapositions of Phillips’s The Heart of a Humument – whichsees him ‘treating’ an obscure late Victorian novel by selecting certain words and phrases, and then painting over the rest of each page – are mirrored in vividly imagined music whose pithy energy creates a playful, virtuoso tour de force for allseven instruments.

Par NOURSE NANCY. The four preludes included in this collection are each based upon a tune associated with a particular time of the church calendar. The Lenten prelude, Meditation upon 'Forty Days and Forty Nights', likewise employs a theme with interpolations approach. The hymn tune, Heinlein, is most closely associated with the English text, 'Forty days and forty nights, Thou wast fasting in the wild'. However in the midst of this piece occur short musical representations of the three temptations. In the case of the Variations on an Old French Carol, its association is with both Easter in its text of 'Love is Come Again' and in its Christmas text of 'Noel Nouvelet' (or as sung in English, 'Sing We Now of Christmas'). The advent prelude, Meditation upon a Sarum Plainsong, uses the 7th century plainsong chant Conditor Alme Siderum as its basis, with frequent trope-like interpolations occurring between the phrases. Even more simply conceived, the rendering of the Victorian Christmas hymn, Once in Royal David's City. The first verse is played sweetly and simply, while harmonic material is added for verses two and three./ Répertoire / Flûte Traversière

Par STANFORD CHARLES VILLIERS. A jewel of English music, The Blue Bird first appeared as the third of these eight-part songs to words by the Victorian poet and novelist Mary Coleridge. Published shortly after her death in 1908, Op. 119 is the first of two such cycles composed in response to the refined sensibility of her poetry, which proved an ideal match for Stanford’s mastery of word-setting and of the romantic choral idiom./ Répertoire / Choeur Mixte (SATB)

Par GILBERT WILLIAM SCHWENCK / SULLIVAN ARTHUR. The vocal score to Gilbert and Sullivan's Princess Ida (also known as 'Castle Adamant'), based upon Tennyson's poem The Princess .

2 Fassungen. Par MENDELSSOHN-BARTHOLDY FELIX. Formerly one of Mendelssohn's most popular sacred compositions, especially during the Victorian period, the anthem 'Hör mein Bitten' has been overlooked in more recent times in favor of his larger works. He conceived his anthem in four linked parts. The numerous alternations between the solo voice an chorus in the score bring to mind the traditional English verse anthem, though the exchanges here seem more tied to the text rather than to a preconceived formal scheme./ Répertoire / Choeur Mixte (SATB) et Orchestre

The word 'steampunk' refers to a genre of science fiction that features steam-powered machinery. Works of fiction in this style are most often set in the 19th century British Victorian era or the American Wild West. Machines and technology found in the works of Jules Verne and H.G. Wells would be good examples of steampunk-style inventions. The piece itself follows no specific narrative, but rather is meant to capture the spirit and mood of this hearty, highly imaginative, industrial-based movement. (5:00) / Orchestre A Cordes
