François-Adrie n Boieldieu (1775-1834) is considered as the one of themost important representatives of the French opéra-comique. His styleis characterised by natural, unembellished melody lines, straightforwardharmonies with refined orchestration. In 1800, Boieldieu achieved a major triumph with Le Calife de Bagdad. The opening is a true classic of this genre.

François-Adrien Boieldieu, een van de belangrijkste componisten van het genre 'opéra comique', maakte in zijn geboorteplaats Rouen al op achtienjarige leeftijd furore met zijn eerste opera. Spoedig daarna vertrok hij naar Parijs omzijn geluk te beproeven. Ook daar oogste hij sucses met een aantal werken - onder andere Le Calife de Bagdad in 1800. De ouverture van deze opera is nog altijd een geliefd repertoirestuk.

Di e Oper Le Calife de Bagdad stammt aus dem Jahr 1880 aus der Feder des französischen Komponisten François-Adrien Boieldieu. Boieldieus Stil ist geprägt von natürlichen, ungekünstelten Melodielinien, unkomplizierten Harmonien und einer raffinierten Orchesterierung. In diesem Sinne bearbeitete Wil van der Beek die Ouvertüre von Le Calife de Bagdad, die noch immer ein beliebtes Repertoirestück ist.

François-Adrien Boieldieu (1775-1834) est considéré comme l’un des plus brillants représentants de l’opéra-comique français. Ses œuvres privilégient les mélodies sans ornements superflus. L’instrumentation est légère mais soignée ; les dialogues sont spirituels. En 1800, Boieldieu remporta un véritable triomphe avec Le Calife de Bagdad. L’Ouverture est un classique du genre.

Pre face The three movements of the quartet may be perceived as three different expressions of an unstable core: an inherent unrest leads to frequent changes of direction. The first movement is full of dramatic contrasts: it is followed by a second movement, whose basic mood of meditative rest is challenged by occasional centrifugal utbursts, while the third movement takes the inherent conflicts to a higher level, contrasting material of introspective lyricism with excessively pathetic moods. The final way out is a retrograde one, (back) into the source: through a constant accelerando-diminuendo the piece disappears into a vanishing point. The into the source of the titlemay be visualized as a reversed fountain-action: the broad fan-like spread of the first movement, a more coherent-solid second movement, and finally - in the third movement - a return-run, ever more vehemently, like a suction into the spring itself ... The musical motifs are varied: there are traffic-situations (which I heard!) with stomping and machine-like rhythms in different, but simultaneous tempi, and there are more abstract upwards and downwards half-tone-scales, with changing accents, creating glimpses of melodies. INTO THE SOURCE, String Quartet No. 9, was composed on a double-commission from the Orion Quartet and the Vertavo Quartet. The premiere performances took places in Santa Fe in 2002 and in Oslo in 2003. Per Norgard.

A city is founded—– it has a heart that beats. But visible achievements such as buildings and infrastructure merely bear witness to what its true heart is made of—the people who have lived, and still live, in the city. The pulse of the city, brought to life by itsheartbeat, changes over time. Who hasn't seen those time-lapse images showing twinkling lines of car lights as people make their wayto work, while others stand at traffic lights, only moving as if at the push of a button? These are like life flowing in the veins, driven by a strong heart. Leonardo da Vinci had already imagined the rivers as the blood vessels of the Earth. In any city, though, it's not the rivers but the movement and activities of the people who live there. The heart doesn't always beat steadily, however, but its rhythm can be influenced by joy, fear, and many other things. Every city has its own pulse. This is also true of the university city of Marburg, where people from over 100 nations now live together in a cosmopolitan and tolerant community. This work describes the city from its founding in 1222, and the charity of Saint Elizabeth, all the way to the present day.

For Cityscapes, the composer used the metropolis of New York, the largest city of the United States, as a source of inspiration. The first movement mirrors the skyline of the ‘Big Apple’. In movement two, Central Park is introduced and in the closing movement of this triptych, the ever-sparkling Manhattan, known for its many skyscrapers, and its financial centre Wall Street, is the focal point. Not only are the busy city traffic and the chaotic hustle and bustle expressed in the music, but also the impressive buildings, including the famous Empire State Building. Let the magic of New York shine with this dramatic new item.

Voor Cityscapes heeft de componist zich laten inspireren door de metropool New York, de grootste stad in de Verenigde Staten. Het eerste deel verklankt de skyline van de ‘Big Apple’. De grootse aanblik van onder andere Manhattan,Brooklyn Bridge en het Vrijheidsbeeld staat model voor het pakkende hoofdthema. In deel twee wordt de stemming van het Central Park voorgesteld. Dit immense park in New York is een plek voor ontspanning en vermaak. In het slotdeelvan dit drieluik staat het altijd bruisende Manhattan, bekend om de vele wolkenkrabbers en het financiële centrum, Wall Street, centraal. Een absolute aanrader!

Jan de Haans Quelle der Inspiration für Cityscapes war die Metropole New York, die größte Stadt der Vereinigten Staaten.

Sara h Baker is Vocal Composer in Residence at Education Music Services, an ABRSM examiner and a well known composer of songs and musicals for primary schools and massed-choral events.

All this experience has come together in the creation of this album of piano pieces, inspired by growing up in the Chiltern Hills. Suitable for players of around grade 4-5 standard, her evocative sound pieces describe a crash-landing hot air balloon, garden invading cows and a even a snake in a pond!

Air Balloon!: One vivid memory I have as a child is of the day that a hot air balloon passed over our house and made an emergency landing on the road in front! The sound of the gas being blown into the balloon to try to keep it high enough to pass the house sounded so loud and intimidating, and then there was the bustle of the neighbours as we all went out into the street to watch. It was both terrifying and exhilarating to watch the balloon float past and then land so near by.

Buzzards Circling: There is something so calming and restful about watching birds of prey circling in the thermal currents of a summer sky. Growing up in the Chilterns gave me plenty of opportunity to watch buzzards and red kites. This piano solo captures the beauty of their flight as they glide so effortlessly through the air.

There’s A Cow In The Garden Eating The Flowers: Inspired by the memory of seeing an unexpected cow in the garden! This surreal image is captured in a quirky waltz, as I portray both the absurdity of the moment and the sense of wonder I felt as a child, looking out of the window and seeing the cow walking round and eating the flowers. The final phrase articulates my longing: ‘I wish it would come again’.

Watching The World Go By: A short, reflective piece, remembering what it was like to have time to just sit and watch the world go by from my bedroom window.

Autumn Skies: A miniature about the beauty of Autumn skies and the poignant sense of loss for a summer gone. Friends I was fortunate to have several children of my own age living close by. We seemed to be forever making dens, playing out in the street and generally enjoying each other’s company. This piece reflects that sense of well-being.

Snake In The Pond: One hot summer I was astonished and scared to see a grass snake cooling off in our garden pond! I watched, both horrified and fascinated, as it rose up from the depths and then disappeared again. Here I portray the sense of the hazy summer afternoon as I peacefully watched the tiny movements of fish in the pond, contrasted with the fear and excitement of seeing the snake appear.

Morning Commute: I recollect many mornings stuck in traffic as my Dad took me to school on his way to work. There is one main road out of the village where I grew up, and that got more and more congested the closer we got to the town. We may not have chatted a lot, but it was always good to be together with my Dad, lost in our own thoughts.

The Witch’s Cottage: My siblings and I had a fascination with a small cottage nearby. It was set back from the road in a dark part of the woods and we called it 'the witch's cottage’. Every time we passed, I imagined I heard the distant cackle of the witch and wished I could catch a glimpse of her.

These pieces are written to complement my other collection, Night Time Impressions, which also draw on childhood recollections, particularly of the woods behind the house where I grew up. - Sarah Baker 2023.

La collection ANACROUSE offre aux pianistes novices et confirmés un large choix d’œuvres classiques, allant de la Renaissance à l’époque moderne.

Claude Debussy compose ses deux arabesques en 1888. Ces compositions font parties de la première période de son développement de l’écriture pianistique. L’avenir d’un nouveau langage se révèle dans ces pièces, par l’usage d’une conception moderne de la courbe mélodique, harmoniquement immobile. Cette conception caractérise la substance principale de l’idée d’une arabesque, si chère à Debussy.
L’arabesque n°1 revendique une forme ternaire de même que l’arabesque n°2. La première arabesque en mi majeur comporte des triolets déliés qui semblent suggérer l’évolution de son langage musical dans le traitement des arpèges et dans la facilité d’utiliser les modulations.
Dès son entrée dans le répertoire, la pièce prit une place constante dans la musique vivante. D’après Léon Vallas, sa «  souplesse fait songer à la brillante légèreté des ballets de Delibes ». Alfred Hitchkook nous fait entendre l’arabesque n°1 dans la scène du dîner dans le film « Les oiseaux ».
La première arabesque est à l’égal d’une pièce littéraire. Cette pièce exprime à demi teinte une ardeur raffinée et réservée des sens, comme un tableau impressionniste.
Amate urs de peintures de Seurat ou de Monnet, l’Arabesque n°1 vous fera découvrir l’univers à demi mot du premier grand musicien impressionniste qu’est Claude Debussy.
