Par SPARKE PHILIP. Prelude on an Irish Folk Tune (“Prélude sur un air irlandais”) est basée sur l'air traditionnel Slane, la version hymnique d’une mélodie irlandaise plus ancienne The Banks of the Bann. La mélodie s’imbrique dans la trame musicale vers la fin de la pièce. Publiée pour la première fois en 1909 dans le recueil Old Irish Folk Music and Songs (“Chants et airs irlandais anciens”) de Patrick Joyce, cette mélodie traditionnelle tient son nom d’une colline située à environ 16 kilomètres de Tara, dans le comté de Meath. Selon un extrait des Confessions de Saint Patrick, le saint irlandais aurait allumé le cierge pascal sur la colline de Slane, le Samedisaint de l’an 443. Cet acte de défi provoqua la fureur de Laoghaire, un roi païen, qui avait promulgué un édit interdisant d’allumer un feu autre que le feu royal sur la colline de Tara. Le feu royal célébrait la coutume païenne du retour du Printemps après l’Hiver, du triomphe de la lumière (saison claire) sur la pénombre (saison sombre). Dans Prelude on an Irish Folk Tune, des fragments de la mélodie font allusion au canevas futur de la pièce. Un autre thème, écrit dans le style traditionnel, domine le contexte avant de servir de contrechant lorsque la mélodie Slane se dévoile. / Niveau : 3 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Béla Bartók's series of piano pieces For Children, based on folk melodies, was written around the end of the first decade of the 20th century. The pieces were published shortly afterwards by the Hungarian publisher Károly Rozsnyai. That first publication was in four volumes, the first two containing a total of 42 pieces based on Hungarian folk tunes, the third and fourth containing 43 pieces based on Slovakian folk tunes.In 1943, whilst in the United States, Bartók prepared a revised version of the collection for the publishers Boosey and Hawkes. The revisions were minimal: two Hungarian and four Slovakian songs were eliminated, there were a few minor alterations incorporating new ideas, some of the pieces previously written with accidentals had key signatures added, a few pieces were rewritten with changed meters - some fingerings were added or changed.The composer prepared the revised 1943 edition by using copies of the first edition on which he marked minor changes - where the changes were more extensive, fresh manuscript was written and a new version engraved. However, much of the engraving of the first edition was preserved in the 1943 edition. Publication took place in 1946, after the composer's death - it is not known if he saw final proofs prior to printing.The revised edition was published in two volumes, which now have been published together as one volume for the first time. / Piano
