Oratorium. Par MENDELSSOHN-BARTHOLDY FELIX. Mendelssohn composed his first oratorio Paulus under the impression of his own revival of J. S. Bach’s St. Matthew Passion in 1829. He integrated chorale settings into St. Paul, for which he was accused by his contemporaries of making a stylistic break, using an element unsuitable to church music. In spite of these reservations, during Mendelssohn’s lifetime St. Paul was one of his most popular works, which received numerous performances throughout Europe. Robert Schuman praised the “inextinguishable color of the instrumentation” and the “brilliant play with all the forms of composition. ” He described it as a “jewel of the present. ” / Oratorio / Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB, 2 Flûtes Traversières,

Par PELLEGRINO MICHEL. La clarinette basse, très utilisée dans la musique d'aujourd'hui, est un instrument fort délicat à maîtriser. Son approche n'est pas toujours évidente, même si l'on joue déjà d'un autre instrument 'proche', comme la clarinette soprano ou le saxophone. Souvent les musiciens jouant du sax ténor, pour des raisons de tessiture et de tonalité, sont attirés par la clarinette basse. Venant de ces instruments, on pense souvent que l'adaptation se fera d'elle-même, et que l'aisance viendra en jouant. Or, la clarinette basse n'est pas un 'dérivé'. C'est un instrument à part entière, qui a beaucoup d'exigences, notamment en ce qui concerne l'embouchure et la colonne d'air, fort différentes de la clarinette soprano ou du saxophone. Nous avons rassemblé dans cet ouvrage quelques exercices spécifiques à l'instrument, pour la maîtrise de sa tessiture et de ses registres, ainsi que quelques 'trucs et astuces' afin de faciliter les premiers contacts et d'aider à surmonter les difficultés propres à la clarinette basse. Outre des conseils sur le matériel que l'on peut utiliser, vous trouverez un exposé des techniques et des effets les plus répandus (comme le slap ou le growl). En fin de volume quelques pièces de styles différents vous aideront à parfaire vos interprétations et appliquer les principes que nous exposons. Les débuts sur l'instrument sont souvent ingrats et la sensation de maîtrise complète de la clarinette basse n'intervient que plusieurs mois après les premières notes. Il faut donc travailler quelques points précis dès le début avec attention, et surtout de façon très régulière, car seul un contact très fréquent avec l'instrument sera à même de vous donner l'aisance et la décontraction.

The composer says: Several musical threads led to my writing this piece of music to celebrate my friend Matanya Ophee's (AKA MO) 80th birthday - a life lived with the guitar. Jelly Roll Morton once asserted: 'In fact, if you can't manage to put tinges of Spanish in your tunes, you will never be able to get the right seasoning; I call it, for jazz.' Over the last couple of years I moved back to Jelly Roll Morton's city: New Orleans, home of my adolescence and reacquainted myself with the tinges of Spanish in its rich musical heritage. One of these pieces was the Mardi Gras Mambo, an iconic song frequently played during Mardi Gras and, in David Newman's reworking of the lyrics, at the New Orleans Saints football games as the Super Bowl Mambo. Uncited sources on both Wikipedia and Essortment say the word Mambo means 'conversation with the gods' in Kikongo, the language spoken by Central African slaves taken to Cuba where it became the name for a musical form and a dance style that developed originally in Cuba in the able hands of Cachao's (Bassist Orestes Lopez) tune: Danzon Mambo. This rhythmic style became famous in the 1950's following its use in dance bands in Mexico and through New Orleans to the United States. The infectiousness of the New Orleans re-interpretation of the Mambo's ostinato bass line and the reaction of people who are readily moved to dance when they hear it spoke to me of dance and celebration. This led me to choose some of this piece's characteristics and title for this piece: Mambo for MO. As we have progressed on the instrument, some of us may have encountered the four-chord descending minor chord progression known as the Andalusian cadence: i - VII - VI - V in many different genres and guises. After all, it appears in Ray Charles' Hit the Road, Jack, the verse on Good Vibrations by The Beach Boys, Walk, Don't Run by The Ventures, Runaway by Del Shannon and in that great work arranged and embraced by the Guitar: J.S. Bach's Chaconne from the Partita in D minor for solo violin, BWV 1004. This bass line derived from a Latin American musical style as reinterpreted in New Orleans, a chord progression that evokes the Flamenco Music of Spain, and my impressions of the sinuous lines of people dancing the Second Line in the streets of New Orleans at Mardi Gras led me to this synthesis as a tribute to a man who has contributed so much in his lifelong efforts for the guitar, its history and lore on the occasion of his birthday! Happy Birthday, Matanya! Carlos Barrientos was born on June 25, 1954 in Tela, Honduras. He began his formal music studies at the National Music Conservatory in Guatemala City, Guatemala C.A.
