Par HOSOKAWA TOSHIO. In my sixth work for a string quartet, there is a very simple melody concealed in the background. That melody (distant voices) is played within an extremely slow tempo, and the notes which form the melody gain different textures by becoming disassembled, and played by different techniques. In our daily lives, our inner voices become concealed by our daily customs. The act of composing, to me, is to find out that concealed distant voices, make those voices spatialized and construct them within the musical time. This work is dedicated to Alois Lageder.

Presque Distant est un romp bravura pour quatuor de saxophones de l'un des plus grands compositeurs de la Grande-Bretagne. / Quatuor De Saxophones

Par ANDRE MARC. The most distant is more familiar to us then the nearest. Primeval man, furthest in the past, is also the essential man. Anticipation, pointing furthest into the future, leads us in its way to the essential man. Thus the distant is connected with the most inner [Edgar Morin, Le vif du sujet, Paris 1968, S. 68]./ Répertoire / Clarinette Basse, Trombone, Alto, Violoncelle, Con

 Texte d'Alain Van Kerckhoven Certains symboles ont traversé les civilisations et les âges, utilisant comme véhicules des mythes qui se perpétuent de mille façons : récits religieux, chansons populaires ou décors de cathédrales par exemple, Les plus forts de ces symboles ont nourri (et été nourris par) une discipline initiatique à la fois spéculative et opérative : l'alchimie,Three Philosophers Songs (2013) - que l'on pourrait traduire par ' Trois Mélodies philosophales ' - évoque trois de ces mythes occidentaux sous un éclairage philosophal, The Fruits of the Earth se réfère à l'étrange histoire de Caïn et Abel, La musique est construite sur la technique de la basse obstinée,Dans les divers épisodes qui se succèdent, la voix et les instruments établissent un dialogue soulignant le caractère dramatique du récit, Roots and Thorns évoque de multiples destins de l'acacia, La pièce s'ouvre sur une succession d'accords mineurs distants les uns des autres d'un intervalle de tierce (mineure ou majeure), Une mélodie se déploie vers la fin de cette longue introduction, Suit alors un passage central plus agité rythmiquement où le chant prend le rôle central, soutenu par les instruments, Une troisième section voit revenir la succession d'accords et la mélodie initiale, The Salt of the Earth revisite la très alchimique légende de Saint Nicolas, L'utilisation d'un accord sans tierce donne un caractère ' médiéval ' à la courte introduction instrumentale, La voix chante alors en boucle une mélodie simple, très expressive, et c'est l'ensemble instrumental qui crée les différentes atmosphères et variations de caractère, La conclusion, purement instrumentale, utilise essentiellement la mélodie principale et finit sur l'accord sans tierce du début, / Baryton

Par ROTA NINO. This “Fantasia in G” was only recently discovered among the last manuscripts to be examined in the Nino Rota archive in Venice. Together with the “15 Preludes” (ED 9386), it is one of the few works by this Italian composer for piano solo. It was composed in the oppressive atmosphere of the last years of the war. The first and closing sections conjure up a feeling of late Romanticism from the distant past, while the middle section is characterised by melancholy melodies typical of Rota./ Répertoire / Piano

Par MENDONCA VASCO. 'Terrance Hayes? series of sonnets is an extraordinary collection of poems: his poetry captures the spiralling social and political chaos in America (and the world) in a way no newspaper article or scholarly essay has been able to; his words have the rare quality of clarifying a collective feeling that is messy and confusing, an elusive and disturbing combination of fear, hope, perhaps despair. I have never personally experienced (and probably never will) the reality Hayes writes about: the oppression, danger and ambiguity he reflects upon are alien to my own experience. But I nevertheless felt compelled to create something inspired by his words. To engage - how can you not engage' The first movement of ''A Box of Darkness with a Bird in its Heart'' is a hurtful ostinato with an uneven, organic pulse - not unlike the way we breathe under physical or emotional strain. The second is a quiet, delicate birdsong; its very high melody almost a secret that?s unwillingly shared - followed by an expressive lament. The ending in the low register brings me the image of a viola da gamba played outside in a warm summer night, a distant tale of violence and loss. In the final movement the energy picks up, in a relentless and unforgiving mechanism of pizzicati. This piece was written for the wonderful violinist Diana Tishchenko, and is dedicated to her.

Par SULLIVAN SIR ARTHUR SEYMOUR. Compiled by Alan Borthwick and Robin Wilson CONTENTS County Guy (B - E) Distant Shore (B flat - E flat) Edward Gray (D - G) Mary Morison (D - E) Sigh no more (E - A)./ Répertoire / Chant et Piano

14 famous themes from music history, from Bach to Offenbach, each with its own jazzy interpretation - just as in Vol. 1. This edition shows that 'classical music' and jazz are not that distant from one another after all. Just imagine Grieg's Piano Concerto played on a bandoneon - and you have got the perfect tango! Brahms' Hungarian Dance No. 1 is also ideal as a salsa ('Hungarian Salsa No.1'). Schubert's trout suffers a terrible fate, here it may continue to live in a lively ragtime ('Fish Rag'). With Mozart, the night is merry and friendly. but 'A Black Night Music' shows its dark side. The accompanying CD provides examples and suggestions as to how all of these pieces can be interpreted.
