(Memorial for the Columbia Astronauts). Par EOTVOS PETER. Eötvös wrote this piece in memory of the seven astronauts who lost their lives in the Space Shuttle Columbia tragedy in 2003. The number 7 determines the musical, rhythmic and formal structure of the work: 49 musicians are divided into seven groups, and as well as the solo violin there are six further violins arranged correspondingly around the hall; and the solo violin itself portrays each of the astronauts and their different origin, from America via Israel to India, in folkloristically tinged cadenzas. 'The violin concerto Seven is a very personal monologue and the musical expression of my sympathy towards the seven astronauts who lost their lives while exploring space in fulfilment of a fundamental dream of mankind.' (Peter Eötvös)/ Répertoire / Violon et Piano

Arr. Naohiro Iwai_Klaas Van Der Woude. Par ANDERSON LEROY. Selon le journaliste Mark Azzara, nombreux sont ceux qui considèrent Leroy Anderson (1908-1975) comme « l’un des quatre meilleurs compositeurs de musique instrumentale du XXe siècle avec George Gershwin, Aaron Copland et Charles Ives ». Les nombreuses mélodies nostalgiques qu’il a composées ( Sleigh Ride, Blue Tango, etc. ) sont solidement ancrées dans les traditions de la culture musicale américaine. En 1949, Leroy Anderson compose le très aérien Trumpeter’s Lullaby (“Berceuse pour un trompettiste”) à la demande de Roger Voisin qui fut alors trompette solo du Boston Pops Orchestra. / Niveau : 5 / Musique légère originale / Répertoire / 3 Cornets et Brass Band

Arr. Naohiro Iwai. Par ANDERSON LEROY. Notre époque a bien oublié celle des musiques légères qui firent l'enchantement des auditeurs de radio peu après la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Parmi elles, celles du compositeur américain Leroy Anderson (1908-1975). Descriptives et souvent étonnantes, ces oeuvres ont conservé la fraîcheur et le charme d’antan. Trumpeter’s Lullaby est une oeuvre aérienne et douce où la trompette se veut tendre et éthérée. L’accompagnement tisse un toile sonore soyeuse. Magique. / Niveau : 5 / Musique légère originale / Répertoire / Trompette et Concert Band ou Harmonie

Beautiful Airs and Ballads of the British Isles. Par GONZALEZ RAYMOND. This fingerstyle guitar collection features 20 engaging lyrical tunes from England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales plus three original pieces by accomplished guitarist, trumpeter and composer William A. Bay, president, and editor-in-chief at Mel Bay Publications. Tasked with writing intermediate-level arrangements in either standard or dropped-D tuning, guitarist/arranger Raymond Gonzalez displays uncommon music rethinking skills while preserving the plaintive and lilting nature of these enduring melodies. Unique to these settings, you will find sparse, open-chord harmonies accentuated by double hammer-ons and pull-offs, and the odd harmonic mixed with normal tones within a melodic line— all reminiscent of gentle waves washing up against a rocky island shore. Conceived to be played on either steel or nylon-string guitar, these pieces are written in both standard notation and tablature. Includes online access to the author’s own audio recordings. / Niveau : Moyen-Difficile / Recueil / Guitare
