Choralkantate. Par MENDELSSOHN-BARTHOLDY FELIX. During Mendelssohns years of study with Zelter, the arrangement of chorales already played an important role, and he continued to be occupied with the protestant chorale throughout his symphonic and oratorical work. The break Bach’s works in connection with the reperformance of the St. Matthew Passion led to a series of cantatas based on well-known chorale melodies for choir, instruments, and sometimes also for soloists./ Répertoire / Solo S, Choeur SATB, 2 Violons, Alto et Violoncell

Par VAN DER ROOST JAN. In this colourful composition, Jan van der Roost recreates the energetic and multi-racial city life in Manhattan, using four contrasting movements. The opening movement is rather short and rhytmical. In the second “Picture”, a variety of musical entities accumulate into a coloured “sound curtain”, on top of which the brass section presents a broad theme. In contrast to the two previous movements, the third movement is exremely quiet, featuring the first flute, clarinet an oboe in broad melodies. Again, the orchestration plays an essential role. Following on a majestic “tutti” (almost “movie-like. . . . ) the serenity of the very beginning reappears. Finally, the nervousness anddynamic style of the two first movements come back in an exciting apotheosis with rich and sometimes surprising instrumentation which explores the multiple possibilities of the large symphonic wind band to the full. / Niveau : 5 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band

Par BERTRAND ELISE. « Si les artistes rendent si rarement compte de leurs instants d'inspiration, la raison en est bien simple: c'est qu'à ces moments-là du processus créateur ils ne sont nullement présents par la conscience. Ils ne peuvent pas davantage s'épier psychologiquement au cours de la création elle-même qu'ils ne peuvent, par-dessus leur épaule, se regarder écrire. » Egon Schiele « Artists: Sometimes the best way to address a problem in your work is to go in the cage with it and let it devour you. » Jerry Saltz Ces deux maximes qui décrivent à merveille ce que je peux ressentir au moment d'écrire à propos de ma dernière ?uvre pour piano Dans les abysses de lumière. Composée en parallèle de ma Sonate pour violon seul, mon ?uvre pour piano Dans les abysses de lumière op.17 (2021-2022) est un retour aux sources important, comme a pu l'être chaque retour à la composition d'une ?uvre pour piano (Préludes op.1 en 2014-2015, puis le Poème, op.5 en 2016, les Quasi Variazioni op.7 en 2018). La sensation de ressourcement lors de l'écriture pour piano seul vient intimement de mon enfance, où le piano est arrivé dans ma vie dès mes cinq ans. Chaque ?uvre pour piano que j'ai écrite marque un tournant dans mon rapport à la composition, une étape nouvellement franchie. Avec cet op.17, c'est un regard plus distancié et ouvert que j'ai posé sur la structure, le langage, le rapport au temps et à la dissonance. Durant un an, sans contrainte de temps, je suis revenue périodiquement à la composition de cette pièce, sans y toucher parfois pendant des semaines entières. J'y percevais alors des paysages, des couleurs, des instants de vie qui se faisaient écho. Puis, l'obsession revenait et je composais d'une traite un pan entier. La pièce en « cours de composition » vivait à mes côtés. Élise BERTRAND / Date parution : 2023-06-01/ Etude / Piano

for Percussion and Violoncello. Par HUMMEL BERTOLD. In summer 2001, Bertold Hummel composed the present work as a commission for the 'Asiago Festival' and brought together in the grand dimensions of his 'Fantasy in one movement' - as he himself termed it - for the first time the instruments he had always loved much during his life. Asiago - the letters a-s-a-g, corresponding to the notes a, e-flat, a, g in the German musical scale, open and close the work - is a successful excursion into the complex sound combinations of percussion instruments and the mystical, sensuous tone of the violoncello, whereby the stringed instrument occasionally takes on a percussive role and the percussion is sometimes treated like a bowed. Driving rhythms pursue each other, alternating with meditative moments. Chorale fragments lead to a grand cadenza, in which the instrumentalists have the opportunity, following patterns provided, for free improvisation. The première of this work took place on 5th August, 2001 in the Duomo di S. Matteo in Asiago in northern Italy and was in the hands of Peter Sadlo and Julius Berger, who are amongst the most committed exponents of Bertold Hummel's works./ Répertoire / Percussion et Violoncelle

Aus tiefer Not. Par RENTZSCH FRIEDHELM. Friedhelm Rentzsch, long a cellist in the Dresden Philharmonic, set Psalm 130, whose character of penitence is especially impressive here, through the reduction of the musical forces to a solo alto with orchestral accompaniment, and this in a most unique, urgent manner. Through the addition of a sombre text by Erich Arendt the subective manner of the song is placed in a worldly context encompassing all periods of time. Repeatedly, passages of a quiet character alternate with tutti phases which sometimes climax to passages employing clusters. / Psaumes / Répertoire / Solo A, Timbales, Percussions (4 Joueurs), 2 Violo

Award-winning contemporary Polish composer Pawel Lukaszewski is highly celebrated as a creator of sacred Choral music. His style owes everything to the great traditions of Western music, though his harmonic palette is more modern in style and he sometimes makes use of unusual Vocal effects when suggested by the text.Psalmus 102 is scored for unaccompanied Chorus SATB with a chant-inspired rendering of the words that the Western Bible knows as Psalm 103. / Chant/Vocal/Choeur

Richard Reed Parry's Quartet For Heart And Breath is an innovative and original piece based on the performers' own bodily rhythms. This sheet music is for String Quartet (Violin/Violin/Viola/Cello).Richard Reed Parry is familiar to millions as the lead singer of rock band Arcade Fire, yet his foray into classical music is equally worthy of attention. Quartet For Heart And Breath is an experiment into using the performers' heartbeats and breathing to dictate the tempo. The performers are instructed to wear stethoscopes in order to listen to their heartbeats closely, while one complete breath corresponds to one bar and two heartbeats equal two crotchets.The result is a quiet and subtle piece, as each instrument has to play softly so as to be able to keep in time. The piece also has a naturally occurring dynamism in that the players' heart rates constantly change as the performance goes on, with each instrument falling in and out of sync sometimes culminating in a beautiful moment of all heartbeats matching each other. Interestingly, this unique aspect means that no performance will ever be the same, meaning to hear or play this composition will be a truly once in a lifetime experience.Quartet For Heart And Breath is a superbly one-of-a-kind composition by Richard Reed Parry. Commissioned by the Kronos Quartet, this piece makes for a wonderfully distinctive performance, with fascinating implications for the connection between the music and the body. / Quatuor A Cordes
