Arrangeur: Albert Mendoza. Par GRIFFES CHARLES. Roman Sketches, Op. 7, is one of 20th-century composer Charles Griffes' most popular works. This piano suite of four short pieces, written between 1915 and 1916, illustrates Griffes' evolving tastes in incorporating modern devices into his compositions. Filled with many memorable, evocative, and pianistically satisfying moments, the pieces require power, agility, and finesse, as well as musical sensitivity. The suite begins with 'The White Peacock,' a sensuous depiction of the exotic white bird. The second work, 'Nightfall,' captures the stillness of dusk, before gaining excitement and swirling to two powerful climaxes. The third piece, 'The Fountain of the Acqua Paola,' in thetradition of Liszt's 'Fountains of the Villa d'Este' and Ravel's 'Jeux d'eau,' brings to life the sound and shimmer of a famous Roman fountain. The last sketch, 'Clouds,' not only depicts gently wafting clouds but also gusts of wind and bright rays of sunshine. The duration of the entire suite is slightly less than 20 minutes. This edition contains a short biography of Charles Griffes, an overview of his compositional style, and an analysis each work, including a detailed study of form and performance considerations.

Suito Sketches. Par VAN DER ROOST JAN. The Landing (“Les bâtisseurs”) - Sword Dance (“La danse du sabre”) - Nightfall by the River (“La rivière à la tombée de la nuit”) - Towards the Future (“Regards vers le futur”) : La ville d'Osaka vit de l’eau et vit avec l’eau. C'est pourquoi on la surnomme « la capitale de l’eau » ( suito, en japonais) depuis les temps anciens. Le sous-titre s’imposait comme une évidence. Sinfonietta est une oeuvre mystique et mystérieuse, sauvage et diabolique, raffinée et colorée, lyrique et virtuose, conventionnelle et originale. Cette petite symphonie se compose de quatre mouvements contrastés qui révèlent les larges possibilités del’Orchestred’Harmonie moderne. / Niveau : 6 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

The tunes in the New Orleans Jazz Styles series are written for piano students of intermediate level. Gillock believed that every student's musical education should include experiences in a variety of popular stylings, including jazz, as a recurring phase of their study. Students should be encouraged to deviate from the written notes with their own improvisations, for spontaneity is an essential ingredient of the jazz idiom. TITLES: New Orleans Nightfall · The Constant Bass · Mardi Gras · Dixieland Combo · Frankie and Johnny (Theme and Variations). / Piano

Par VAN NUETEN GUY. Light the fire, James. We'll take our digestive by the crackling of the hearth. Such were the thoughts that came to mind as I started listening to Guy Van Nueten's new record. Because, yes, there is a certain aristocracy to this music. There's the feeling of autumn and you immediately long to warm yourself on the sounds that issue from Van Nueten's bony fingers. But it could just as well be a car ride through soft rain at nightfall, where trees become freakish phantoms, and here and there a villa looms like a light beacon. Pacman is a record that makes you hunt for images, films you have seen before, feelings you have known and wish to relive, like a somewhat forbidden fruit, asecret pleasure. Melancholy? Absolutely. A vague sadness to make a person purr like a contented cat? Certainly. Yet at the same time, Van Nueten is cunning. While ensuring that his music pleases you, at the end of some compositions he'll suddenly come up with a theme that he'll stop abruptly, so that the notes remain hanging like snapshots of aerial acrobats in action. It is also investigative music as if Guy himself does not wish to know just where he will finish up. There is a stubbornness to it, an elegant fight perhaps between composer and pianist. It pursues you - exactly like a Pacman, in fact, chomping away at digital pieces of your heart. Yet it never seems to dissolve into thin air: time and again, right from the first listen, he makes you long to hear more. It is music that should protect a person like a secret, like an illegal fire in a forest that warms your hands and fills your head with dreams. It smells like cedar, this piano music. Or like a nice cigar offered to you by the imaginary James, who whispers: 'The fire is crackling, sir. Just as you like it.' At which point the enchantment begins all over again./ Répertoire / Piano

Opera in Seven Scenes. Par BENJAMIN GEORGE. Picture a day like this is the fourth collaboration between George Benjamin and Martin Crimp, whose acclaimed partnership produced Written on Skin, Lessons in Love and Violence, and Into the Little Hill. The 60-minute opera is cast in seven scenes and scored for five voices (S-S-MS-Ct-Bar) and twenty-two instrumentalists. It premiered at the Aix-en-Provence Festival in 2023, with the composer conducting. Picture a day like this tells the story of a Woman (mezzo-soprano) who has lost her child; if she can meet one truly happy person before nightfall, they will return to life. In her search she meets a pair of lovers, a Composer and their assistant, an Artisan, Collector, and the mysterious Zabelle. Benjamin’s music meets Crimp’s text to create a bittersweet fable on grief and renewal. This product comprises the vocal score. / Date parution : 2023-07-31/ Répertoire / Choeur Mixte et Ensemble

Par ADES THOMAS. Thomas Adès’s second work for string quartet, The Four Quarters was written for the Emerson Quartet and was premiered by them at Carnegie Hall in 2011. The winner of the 2012 British Composer Award for Chamber Composition, the 20-minute work charts the progress of a day. Glassy harmonics typify the opening movement Nightfalls, whilst playful pizzicati abound in Serenade – Morning Dew. A sombre third movement, Days, is underpinned by a searching ostinato before the work breaks free from conventional time in The Twenty-Fifth Hour, the glittering finale which swings and dances in the unusual time signature of 25/16. / Ensemble Music / Répertoire / Quatuor à Cordes
