The ballet
La Bayadère (The
Temple Dancer or The
Temple Maiden) was
created in 1877 for famed
French choreographer
Marius Petipa to music by
Ludwig Minkus
(1826-1917). In four act
and seven tableaux, the
ballet tells the story of
the bayadère Nikiya
and the warrior Solor,
lovers who are beset by
jealous rivals, arranged
marriages beyond their
control, murder, an
opium-fueled
hallucination of the
afterlife, and a vengeful
god that destroys the
temple and everybody in
it as revenge for
Nikiya's murder. It was
first performed on
February 4, 1877, by the
Imperial Ballet in St.
Petersburg, Russia. It
was hailed as a success
and masterpiece
immediately after the
premiere, particularly
The Kingdom of the Shades
scene in Act II, an
excerpt which remains a
major standalone work for
the ballet repertoire.
Modern performances of La
Bayadère are almost
always derived from a
1941 version sated for
the Kirov/Mariinsky
Ballet by Vladimir
Ponomarev and Vakhtang
Chabukiani, which
incorporates additional
music by Minkus, Drigo,
and Pugni. Act II takes
place after Nikiya is
killed by a concealed
venomous snake. A
depressed Solor smokes
opium, resulting in a
vision of Nikiya's spirit
dwelling in the Kingdom
of the Shades, a nirvana
in the Himalayas. The two
lovers reconcile among
the shades of other
bayadères in a Pas de
deux, then Solor is
awakened just in time for
his arranged marriage to
another woman. This
orchestration of Act II
has been completed by
William McDermott.

The new
scholarly-critical
edition of the score of
Rameau’s
“ballet
hroïque†Les
Indes galantes finally
clears up its convoluted
source history. At the
first performance, on 23
August 1735, it consisted
of a prologue and three
acts: Le Turc gnreux, Les
Incas du Prou and Les
Fleurs. But Les Fleurs
already proved
controversial in the
early performances, and
from 11 September of that
same year it was given a
wholly new form. For the
revival on 10 March 1736
Rameau and Fuzelier added
an entirely new act Les
Sauvages, and in the
years that followed, the
“ballet
hroïque†was
presented either complete
(1743, 1751 and 1761) or
abridged with a prologue,
Les Incas du Prou and Les
Sauvages
(1751–73).
With regard to the
instrumental movements
(dances and descriptive
pieces), the present
publication is based on
the complete edition
Opera Omnia Rameau (OOR)
volumes IV/2 and IV/7
edited by Sylvie Bouissou
which are currently in
preparation. It includes
not only the orchestral
pieces in the version
deemed valid by Rameau in
1736 (with version 2 of
Les Fleurs and Les
Sauvages), but also those
from the first version of
Les Fleurs (1735) as well
as its 1743 and 1773
revisions. Performers are
thus given a complete
selection of all the
orchestral numbers from
one of Rameau’s
central stage works for
use also in concert
performance.

Lord Berners
(1883-1950) was
one of the most
idiosyncratic and
fascinating personalities
in British music.
He became a
pioneer in the
avant-garde when he wrote
his first music whilst
living in Rome as
adiplomat during World
War 1; Balanchine
choreographed his first
two ballets and Ashton
the next three; in 1931
he had the first
exhibition of his
paintings; in 1934 he
published the first
volume of his
autobiography,
FirstChildhood, and two
years later his first
novel, The Camel -- and
three more novels came
out in 1941.
On
top of all this during
the 1930s, known as 'the
versatile peer', he
increasingly gained a
reputation as an
eccentric,which he
realised was good for
publicity.
A wry
humour pervades
everything, as in these
three sets of piano
duets. Berners' songs and
piano music, too, are as
full of whimsical
references as those of
Erik Satie -- he hasbeen
called the English Satie
and the Ronald Firbank of
music.
Berners
was not prolific but
whatever he did was
stamped with his own
fastidious
accomplishment. He may
not have been the last
eccentric but his music,
writingand painting
combine to make him one
of the most
rewarding.

This
arrangement of
Rave-Elation was
commissioned by
Musiktheater im Revier.
The first performance was
given by Ballett
Schindowski, with the
Neue Philharmonie
Nordrhein- Westfalen
conducted by Bernhard
Stengel, in
Gelsenkirchen, for their
all-Hindson ballet
Veitstanz, choreographed
by Bernd Schindowski, on
24 January 2004.
Rave-Elation was written
for performance by the
combined forces of
Camerata Australia and
Camerata Scotland. It
uses aspects of popular
music as a starting
point, in particular that
of the 'techno' music
genre.
The piece
is almost exclusively
hedonistic in content,
and this is deliberate.
The main inspiration for
the work comes from dance
and 'rave' parties,
especially the
party-goers'
single-minded indulgence
in physical
enjoyment.

The final
movement of the Sonata in
A major KV 331 by
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart,
the Rondo Alla Turca, is
one of the most famous
pianopieces of all time.
Once only familiar to
musical experts, later a
universal piece for all
piano pupils, its opening
melody is now even
omnipresent as an
alienated sinus tone-like
mobile phone ring tone.
Fazil Say's arrangement,
originally created as an
effective encore, follows
on from this popularity.
After the first eight
bars havebeen presented
in original form, typical
elements of jazz
superimposed on the still
recognisable classical
foundations can be
discovered, such as
syncopation of the top
notes and ornamentation
through chromatic blue
notes, embedded in the at
times frenzied chains of
semiquavers. In the
spirit of the work's
improvisatory character,
Say likes to perfom his
Alla Turca Jazz in
different combinations,
for example accompanied
by jazz singers of with
orchestra. It may appear
strange that Fazil Say,
who was born in Turkey
and - when not on tour -
is still resident in that
country, does not bring
back Mozart's
interpretation of genuine
Turkish music closer to
its own roots,
particularly as many of
his compositions such as
Black Earth or the Violin
Sonata are characterised
by a subtle amalgamation
of the Classical-Romantic
tradition, Turkish folk
music and elements of
jazz. In a further Mozart
arrangement, the ballet
music Patara premiered in
Vienna in 2006, composed
on the basis of the
Rococo-like theme from
the first movement of the
same A-major Sonata (wich
enjoys almost as great
popularity as the Alla
Turca theme), Say
utilised the connection
which was absent in Alla
Turca, albeit in the
opposite direction. In
the ballet music, the
piano symbolises Western
culture and the Ney flute
Oriental culture,
communcated
atmosperically by austere
percussion
instrumentation and
soprano vocalisation.

Pigmalionw
as the first example of a
one-act ballet, preceded
by an overture, composed
specifically for the
Academie royale de
musique. With this work,
Rameau turned to the form
of the petit opera. From
its very first
revival,Pigmalionwas
highly successful, and
remained so until 1781.
The new edition by

Two dances
for flute and harp from
Peter Maxwell Davies'
ballet Caroline Mathilde.
A new instrumentation
restores this linked pair
of dances from Davies's
second full-length
ballet, Caroline Mathilde
based on the story of the
eighteenth-century
British princess sent in
marriage to Denmark, to
the eighteenth-century
milieu of the work's
setting and musical
world. The period manners
- a gavotte in the first
dance, a gigue at the
start of the second - are
typically overlaid with
the composer's
Scottishness. In general
the harp has an
accompanying role, but it
comes forward alone in
the second movement,
which ends with bravura
from both instruments.
These two dances were
first performed in
September 1993 at the
Northlands Festival by
David Nicholson and
Eluned Pierce. Score and

Philippi, Daniela. Text:
Favart, Charles
Simon.
For his
ParisCythere assiegee,
Gluck drew on his
eponymous opera comique
from 1759, transforming
it into an opera-ballet.
The libretto which was
expanded by Charles Simon
Favart was adapted: Gluck
added recitative
passages, reworked
individual sections and
also added his own
compositions, modifying
them in parts. By March
1775, the compositional
work had progressed
sufficiently for Gluck to
leave behind a copy of
the score as he departed
from Paris. However, he
was unable to supervise
rehearsals or be present
at the premiere (1 August
1775) or any of the
subsequent 21
performances. Due to
these particular
circumstances, three
versions of the work are
to be distinguished: the
original version, the
performed version and the
printed
version.
This
edition ofCythere
assiegeecontains the
original version of the
main part and is printed
here for the first time.
The reconstruction which
was necessary in order to
determine the original
form of this opera draws
on all orchestral parts,
the printed score and
with regard to a large
gap in Act III, pages
were taken from the score
copy. The four-part
appendix includes the
changes made to this
score copy, sections that
deviate from the printed
score as well as the
final version of Act III,
also from the printed
score. The last part of
the appendix also
presents a Divertissement
in six movements by
Berton, which is only
available as a rare
contemporary set of
printed parts.
The
Foreword offers detailed
information regarding the
work's genesis, subject
matter, preparations for
performance and print,
premiere, reception, and
this edition. Selected
pages from significant
musical sources, the
libretto of the premiere
performance, and images
illuminating the
performance context, have
been added as
facsimiles.

l'Amour†was long
considered second-rate
because its première
was associated with a
political event. Yet this
ballet abounds in novel
dramaturgical effects
that foreshadow his later
operas, such as
“Zaïsâ€,
“Zoroastreâ€
and “Les
Boradesâ€. Working
together with his
librettist Cahusac,
Rameau sought to weave
the dance numbers,
choruses and stage
machinery more tightly
into the main plot. He
also experimented with
stylistic devices unique
to this work, the most
famous being
unquestionably the scene
in which the Nile
overflows its banks (an
impressive ten-voice
double chorus with solo
voices and orchestra) and
the sextet from
“Arurisâ€, a
scoring found nowhere
else in his
uvre.
For the
first time, this
scholarly-critical
edition of “Les
Fêtes de l'Hymen et de
l'Amour†presents a
reference version of the
work that is based on all
the major sources for
both the libretto and the
music, including two
recent musical
discoveries. As most of
the performance material
for the première has
vanished, our edition is
based on the version
prepared for the Acadmie
Royale de Musique in
1748.

Thi
s edition unites all the
purely instrumental parts
of Rameau’s
comdie-ballet “Les
Paladins†for
performance as a suite in
the concert
hall.
In view of
the wealth of the
work’s musical
treasures and the
stylistic innovations
– similar to the
“Boradesâ€
– the rather
frosty reception of the
premiere series in the
spring of 1760 seems
completely
incomprehensible to us
today. It led to this
stage work not being
performed again until
well into the 20th
century. The story that
the comdie-ballet tells
is based on a fable by La
Fontaine, “Le Petit
chien qui secoue de
l’argent et des
pierreries†(i.e.
“The little dog who
shakes silver and
stonesâ€). In
medieval Veneto, the
guardian Anselme
undermines the love
affairs of his ward
Argies. Scenes of tragic
expression are contrasted
with folk-comic ones; and
last but not least, the
sexually ambiguous fairy
Manto may have caused
difficulties for the bold
work at the Paris
Opra.
This
critical edition is based
on the corresponding
volume issued in the
series “Opera omnia
Rameau†(BA
8870-01). Since
“Les
Paladins†remained
unpublished during
Rameau’s lifetime
and was also not included
in the “Œuvres
complètesâ€, this
is the first edition of
the work. It satisfies
both scholarly demand and
the practical needs of
musicians.
The
orchestral parts are
available on
hire.
