Par BULLA STEPHEN. What can be more charming than a comely Irish folk melody? This is music that allows the band to play in the rubato style, with much room for expression. Found in an old British publication and simply called “Irish Air, ” this endearing arrangement is a rhapsodic treatment that takes fragments of the melody and develops them into a large symphonic work. The freedom of tempi allows you to work with your band in a sensitively conducted way that only a beautiful piece like this will allow. There is always room on a concert program for at least one lush, melodic contrast piece. Perhaps this one is for you. It’s so difficult to describe a thing of real beauty. Please listen tothe demo recording and hear it for yourself. / Niveau : 3 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Création 04/11/2018 - Cologne (Allemagne), Philharmonie - Anaïs Gaudemard (harpe) Commanditaire Fondation Calouste Gulbenkian et Philharmonie de Paris Dédicace à Anaïs Gaudemard Notice Nighthawks est une oeuvre pour harpe solo. Lorsqu' Anaïs Gaudemard [1] m'a demandé d'écrire cette oeuvre, elle souhaitait l'intégrer à un programme sur le thème des oiseaux. J'ai immédiatement pensé à l'oeuvre Nighthawks (1942) - ou Oiseaux de nuit - du peintre réaliste américain Edward Hopper (1882-1967). Inspirée par cette oeuvre, j'ai conçu la pièce d'un seul tenant comme un voyage au coeur de ce tableau. Hopper y projette un instantané de la vie quotidienne américaine. La scène se déroule à une heure avancée de la nuit et plusieurs atmosphères s'en dégagent. En effet, l'oeil est à la fois attiré par cette rue sombre, déserte, et immaculée d'un centre-ville américain ; intrigué par la situation figée des quatre personnages à l'intérieur d'un diner aux couleurs vives ; et hypnotisé par l'éclat de l'immense vitrine du bar. Contrastante avec l'obscurité de la rue, la lumière de cette vitre éclairée au néon est saisissante. Elle sépare ainsi les deux ambiances du tableau. La vue du spectateur à travers elle se fait de l'extérieur vers l'intérieur du bar. L'absence de porte de sortie donne l'impression que les personnages sont isolés et leur solitude est encore renforcée par cette vitre qui entoure la scène éclairée - comme s'ils étaient sous cloche. A l'intérieur du diner, un homme vu de dos mange ; un couple se tient côte à côte (l'homme fume ; la femme est vêtue de rouge) ; un serveur s'affaire. Nous ne savons rien d'eux. Que font-ils à une heure si tardive ? Où se trouve la sortie ? De quoi discutent-ils ? Se connaissent-ils ? J'ai voulu concevoir musicalement cette scène du point de vue du spectateur, comme si nous étions happés, aspirés à l'intérieur même du tableau. L'introduction - Mystérieux, sombre - fait entendre les douze coups de minuit et nous plonge dans l'obscurité de cette rue typiquement américaine. De cette atmosphère nocturne naît un chant étrange - presque ouaté avec les sons xylophoniques - comme si nous ne pouvions l'entendre distinctement à travers la vitre lumineuse qui sépare la rue et le bar. Happés par cette lumière vive, nous passons à travers la vitrine et rentrons progressivement à l'intérieur du diner au moyen d'une boucle hypnotique répétée inlassablement, comme si nous rentrions dans un état de transe - Hypnotique. C'est la tension sous-jacente de cette situation figée des personnages que j'ai voulu représenter dans le passage central - Rythmique et pulsé. Puis, nous sortons de cette sensation d'hypnose en repassant à travers la vitre du bar et retrouvons l'atmosphère nocturne de cette rue déserte et immaculée - Hypnotique - Mystérieux. Camille Pepin [1] Créatrice et dédicataire de la pièce Presse Que voici une oeuvre tout simplement belle ! Camille Pépin, née en 1990, a eu un parcours marqué par la danse et la composition. Mais on découvre ici tout simplement une artiste, qui nous invite à la contemplation d'une oeuvre du peintre Edward Hopper. Ayant travaillé la composition et l'orchestration aussi bien avec Thierry Perrine qu'avec Thierry Escaich, Guillaume Connesson et Marc- André Dalbavie, elle s'est forgé un langage original qui lui permet ici de nous envouter à la fois par sa musique et par la contemplation du tableau. On pourra en juger par l'interprétation qui est faite de cette pièce sur YouTube qu'on écoutera ainsi en regardant le tableau. Bien sûr, on peut aussi écouter l'oeuvre telle quelle : elle se suffit. Mais avec le tableau... Daniel Blackstone L'Education Musicale n°128 (janv-fév 2020)

Par L'ESTRANGE ALEXANDER (Arr.). Early One Morning, a bittersweet lyric with a deceptively upbeat melody, tells of false promises and deception. It is here given a rather melancholic treatment, ending simply and sadly, as it began. You can hear the men promising to be ever faithful in bars 56–63, underneath the girls’ plaintive reproach. This piece is part of the Faber Choral Singles series, offering a selection of beautifully crafted arrangements in a diversity of musical styles. From Broadway, pop and folk to spirituals, gospel and original works, the series is arranged for 3-part choir (soprano, alto and a combined male-voice part) providing flexibility for any choir.

Par HUMMEL BERTOLD. With the Eight Fragments Bertold Hummel has successfully created a most impressive work. Uncommonly concentrated in the evoking of atmosphere and reflecting the texts strongly, these 'dark grey songs' - to quote Ludwig Hirsch - develop a sadly expressive, almost somnambulant charm. These songs seem to have become Bertold Hummel's completely inwardly turned 'Winterreise', the epigram of a psychosis, full of concealed suggestion and dark references, but always more full of hope. The 'sun' becomes the constantly invoked bearer of hope. The music is highly expressive, exploiting the various performing and bowing possibilities of the stringed instruments and their capacity for nuances to the limits; occasionally oppressive visions in sound appear. It is music in danger, of a most fragile balance. Nor are subtle musical references missing. With only one note, following the word 'music', harmony and tonality are conjured up. / Date parution : 2007-11-20/ Répertoire / Baryton et Quatuor à Cordes

This collection of sheet music by the great French composer Maurice Ravel features 19 of his greatest pieces, all newly-arranged especially for this volume. The subtle melodies and achingly beautiful harmonies of these lush Impressionist pieces truly do illustrate the sheer Joy Of Ravel.The pieces by Ravel included in this collection rank alongside Debussy as some of the prettiest Piano music ever composed. Ravel himself categorically refused the term 'Impressionist', believing it to be reserved for paintings only, but his music so closely resembles the colourful flourishing and affective beauty of those works of art that it is difficult to resist such a description. Featuring works like Boléro, Jeux D'Eau, Pavane Pour Une Infante Défunte as well as excerpts from La Valse, The Joy Of Ravel for solo Piano sound utterly divine.Pieces like Menuet Antique, Prélude and the selections from Le Tombeau De Couperin perfectly encapsulate what makes Ravel's compositions so incredible. His perfectionist methods resulted in extended harmonies, complexly musical modulations and masterful melodies that make these 19 works of art an unabashed joy to play and to hear. One of the great things about this sheet music book is the visual beauty of the music. With lilting notes and extensive ties, this is not only a work full of aural pleasure but it's some of the nicest-looking notation out there. Certainly in this case, what you see is what you get, simply The Joy Of Ravel.The Joy Of... series is a constantly growing collection of musical editions that is now recognised and loved throughout the world.
