Organ Part-A concerto for Organ and one Percussion player (Percussion parts available separately) Constellations was completed in November of 1980 and was composed for percussionist Joe Roma to whom it is dedicated.The piece explores two of the most potent musical sound sources: Percussion and the pipe Organ. Constellations‘ four movements are named after stellar constellations:1. Caput serpentis (The SerpentHead)2. Cygnus (The Swan)3. Pegasus (The Winged Horse)4. Cauda serpentis (The Serpent Tail)Although in four distinct movements the form of Constellations in the abstract sense consists of two movements since the first three serve as an exposition to the fourth movement. The fourth movement is not only similar in length to the opening three but also serves as a type of development and recapitulation tothe entire composition. The pandiatonic harmonic materials of the highly rhythmic Movement 1. serve as a binding element to the entire piece reappearing throughout the composition in many different guises and ultimately bringsthe work to a close.Constellations was given its World Premiere by Joe Roma with the composer as organist in May of 1981 in Binghamton New York.

Par BORBOUDAKIS MINAS. Constellation by Minas Borboudakis is a 14-minute work for orchestra (4 Horns in F, Timpani, 3 Percussion, Strings – Sampler). 'The first version of Constellation for octet was written in 2002 when Gidon Kremer asked me to write a new piece for the sextet of the Kremerata Baltica during a series of performances of my works in his festival in Lockenhaus', says the composer. In the version for orchestra, glissandi spread out from a single note phrase by phrase. The four horns, placed stereophonically in pairs to the right and left of the conductor, create explosions of sound through repetitive lines and motivic escapades. The premiere took place on 7 January 2011 at the Tonhalle Zurich by the Tonhalle-Orchester Zurich under the baton of Constantinos Carydis. The score (EP 12575) is available for sale as part of the Peters Contemporary Library. The performance material can be hired. / Date parution : 2022-09-07/ Répertoire / Orchestre

  Symphony No. 3 (1972-1975) by Per Nørgård. Per Nørgård's third symphony commissioned by The Danish Radio Symphony Orchestra (conductor Herbert Blomstedt) was premiered in Copenhagen in 1976 and received wide attention. The work gives comprehensive expression to a new realm of musical experience which the composer began to explore toward the end of the 1960s. While the first period in Nørgårds production in the 1050s represents his personal interpretation of the Nordic music tradition – evidenced for example in his “Piano Sonata No. 2” (1957) and“Constellations” for chamber orchestra (1958) – and the second period in the 1960s saw him working with serial techniques musical collage and a new sound-palette - especially in the orchestral works “Iris” (196-67) and “Luna” (1967) – with “Voyage into the Golden Screen” (1968) Nørgård arrived at a new compositional technique based on the use of a special form of a so-called “infinity series” a principle of musical motion to be applied to all kinds of scales (chromatic diatonic et cetera). It is characteristic that that Nørgård in the 1970s chose to cultivate diatonic infinity series already evident in the mythological opera “Gilgamesh” (1971-72). Thus the Symphony No. 3 begun directly after the opera combines the infinity series major and minor scales the partial series of natural harmonics and “sub-harmonics” (Nørgårds terminology) with rhythmic patterns based on the Golden Section (the Golden Mean) in a nexus of synchronous yet disparate elements which serve the composers vision of musical coherence.. The works which followed the symphony – the operas “Siddharta” (1975-79) and “The Divine Circus” (1981-82) and Symphony No. 4 (1981) – usher a new

Par HINDEMITH PAUL. The opera is set in a variety of locations between the years 1608 and 1630 and throws a spotlight on individual scenes, sometimes presented simultaneously, from the life of the astronomer Johannes Kepler (1571-1630); the opera takes its name from Kepler’s theoretical work ‘Harmonices mundi’. Hindemith utilises substantial historical studies as the basis for his sketches of individuals within Kepler’s circle who each accompany the astronomer’s scientific endeavours with a variety of personal ambitions. The military commander Wallenstein attempts to utilise Kepler’s astrological abilities to realise his own pretensions to power while Kepler’s assistant Ulrich aspires to scientific fame and recognition. Kepler’s mother urges her son to apply his scientific abilities to the services of her black magic and the Lutheran minister Hizler forbids the astronomer to receive communion because Kepler questions the doctrine of Holy Communion in the Lutheran church and expresses sympathy for Calvinist doctrine. The few figures shed in a positive light include Kepler’s wife Susanna who supports her husband’s pursuit of truth and knowledge and the child Susanna who listens to the voices of nature and the moon in her childish naivety, thereby gaining revelatory knowledge. At the end of his life, Kepler takes stock of his situation, succumbs to a state of resignation and considers death as the greatest harmony of all. In his state of agony, music of the spheres can be heard; the constellations appear as allegorical figures in the opera and contradict Kepler’s negative concepts: lying beyond all that can be researched by mankind is a final majestic realm with the powers to ‘permit us to be amalgamated into a gigantic harmony of the spheres.’ / Date parution : 2022-07-20/ Répertoire / Opéra

Description The 12th of November 2014 was a day of glory for the Rosetta mission: after a ten-year journey in space, the Philae lander ' a minuscule robot whose job was to gather scientific data ' set down on the comet Churi to analyse the composition of the soil and evolution of its structure when the shooting star approaches the Sun. This technical prowess also produced photos. Contemplating them could only inspire Allain Gaussin, a follower of spectral music and very keen on astrophysics. How might one translate the intensity of the impressions felt by the viewer of these aerospace photos' Philae, for solo Violin, chooses to make contrasts collide: the smooth and the rough, the bright and the dark, the bounce and the static. As always, Gaussin seeks to explore the particularities of Violin playing: suddenly arise in turn a fervent motif ' this exponential crescendo obtained by means of bow momentum ', harmonic constellations of spiccato demisemiquavers, then a series of repeated notes on the instrument's open third string, which are finally softened by rolled bowing. As a veritable 'astromusician', the composer embarks on the conquest of new sound spaces.

An outrage for concert band. Par SPARKE PHILIP. De nombreuses constellations étant nommées d’après des personnages de la mythologie grecque, le compositeur étudia les histoires qui ont donné naissance aux mythes et décida de fonder son oeuvre sur celles-ci. Le sous-titre - Une outrance pour orchestre d’harmonie - provient du fait que les mythes (l’Hydre, Cassiopée, Orion et Pégase) ont uniquement fourni l’inspiration initiale pour chacun des mouvements, qui ont ensuite suivi leur propre développement musical. Une oeuvre impressionnante, signée par un grand maître ! / Niveau : 6 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Avec ses violences éruptives, l'élégance de ses déferlements, mais aussi la mélancolie de teintes parfois livides, l'oeuvre d'Hugues Dufourt est celle d'un alchimiste dessinant d'amples trajectoires, à la recherche de timbres rares et de riches constellations sonores. Après Giorgione, Pollock ou les camaïeux de Charles Nègre, c'est vers Poussin, Rembrandt, Guardi et Bruegel qu'il tourne ses regards pour un autre 'voyage d'hiver'. / Orchestre
