Harmonische Fantasie über ein Thema von Tallis. Par KNOX GARTH. Thomas Tallis (1505–1585) was one of the great figures of English Renaissance music and the Third mode melody is probably his best known work, largely thanks to Vaughan Williams’s Fantasia on a theme by Thomas Tallis. In the manner of an illuminated manuscript, I wanted to illuminate this fascinating theme in three ways: from behind with medieval techniques like the ‘hoquetus’ passage of the opening or the dance at letter B, from in front with more contemporary sounds (letter A and similar), and from above with the extensive use of high harmonics. Almost all the notes of the theme fall very neatly on the ‘natural’ harmonics of the viola strings, and my ambition was to combine the ‘normal’ notes of the viola with its soaring harmonics, creating a rich luminous soundscape which reflects the spirituality of the theme. Tallis’s melody returns repeatedly to the note B, and I interpreted this as a gentle invitation to simply be, in the sense of quiet moments of mediation. I decided to include a series of still points in the piece: the first one is in silence, the second reveals a note (B) that oscillates in a harmonic heartbeat, the third is a vibrating chord of B with harmonics, and on the last one the second viola tunes down the C string to B, then explores all the natural harmonics of this new world. The term still point is of course a reference to the words of T.S. Eliot in his Four Quartets: 'At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless; Neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is.' (Garth Knox) / Date parution : 2024-01-06/ Répertoire / 2 Altos

This book is the second volume of arrangements for the Celtic harp by MonikaMandelartz. The material encompasses diverse songs and tunes from the British Isles, commonly described as 'Celtic Music'. This type of music is often associated with the English publisher John Playford. In the 17th century, he published The English Dancing Master, which contains traditional music as well as tunes of his day (up to the Renaissance). Author Monika Mandelartz, a specialist in historical performance practice, followsPlayford's tradition by arranging parts of the collection for Celtic harp. Thereby, Mandelartz points out that her arrangements constitute a 'snapshot in time'. Her workemphasizes the idea that lively music always allows for change and variation - it must in order to survive. The book includes tunes such as De`il Take the Wars, Scot Cap (Edinburgh Castle), Upon a Summer's Day, Parson's Farewell, Welcome Home Old Rowland, Dissembling Love (The Lost Heart), An Italian Rant, Porter's Lament, Greenesleeves and Pudding Pies (Greenesleeves and Yellow Lace), Jenny Pluck Pears, Remember Me My Deir, Enfield Common, The Sword Dance, and Drive the Cold Winter Away.

Par DRUEL GUILLAUME. Animaux minute, ce sont 60 pièces très courtes (1 à 2 minutes) pour clarinette seule, prévues pour accompagner un élève dès le début de son apprentissage, et tout au long de sa progression jusqu'aux niveaux les plus avancés. Ce n'est pas une méthode d'apprentissage, mais une série de 'vignettes', dans lesquelles on pourra choisir un morceau pour une audition, un examen... ou juste pour le plaisir. Au fil des morceaux apparaissent çà et là des éléments particuliers du langage musical, certains communs à nombre d’instruments, d’autres plus spécifiques à la clarinette. Par exemple, et dès la première page, on trouvera des appoggiatures brèves, et aussi une portée sans indication de mesure... Plus loin une note piquée, une syncope, puis deux... Tiens, un quintolet, tiens, un doigté spécial, Ici un '3 pour 2', un trille... Là, une douzième, une cadence, un do bémol... donc ça existe ? Il faut croire ! Et plus loin, un Flatter... quoi ? Ah ? Ici on joue à la croche, plus tard on jouera à la blanche, à la blanche pointée... Ces petites découvertes sont distillées une par une, 'tranquillamente', couche après couche, et elles sont là non pas comme un simple prétexte d'exercice, mais parce qu'elles sont nécessaires à la musique. Les animaux proposent souvent leur rythme, leur chant, leur activité frénétique ou lente ; il y a leur milieu (l'eau, l'air qui ondulent...), leur localisation (l'Orient, l'Afrique et leurs parfums...); autant de pistes que j'ai pu suivre comme sources d'inspiration. Tout ce petit monde, tous ces petits mondes organisent le temps, le remplissent et le vident. Et organiser le temps, ne serait-ce pas ça, la musique ? Nous sommes principalement des tubes où passent des aliments, avec quelques appendices autour pour organiser la collecte desdits aliments. Chez les humains, ces appendices permettent aussi de jouer des instruments de musique. Guillaume Druel Les pièces sont présentées en 3 volumes : Volume 1 (Cycle 1) pièces 1 à 20 - durée 26 minutes Volume 2 (Cycle 2) pièces 21 à 40 - durée 28 minutes 30 Volume 3 (Cycle 3 et plus) pièces 41 à 60 - durée 28 minutes/ Recueil / Clarinette Bb

Pas de partitions / Langue : Français Éditeur : Hermann (5 septembre 2005) Collection : Points d'Orgue Format : Broché - 311 pages / Né en 1925, Pierre Boulez est aujourd'hui le musicien français le plus célèbre du monde. Il continue à formuler des remarques virulentes sur certains aspects de la vie musicale en France - manière de répondre à ceux qui, depuis les années cinquante, firent preuve d'une vive inimitié à son endroit, le trouvant trop germanophile : Adieu, herr Boulez ! Déchiré entre l'idéalisation de la Résistance et le tabou de la collaboration, le monde culturel hexagonal entamait une relation problématique avec cet omnipraticien. La trame de ce livre est une ascension fulgurante, sa toile de fond le contentieux franco-allemand, puis la réconciliation. Elaboré à partir d'une documentation utilisant des informations parfois rares, il montre pourquoi nos voisins d'outre-Rhin surnommèrent Boulez le dieu pendant que nombre de ses compatriotes le dénigraient. Il oppose des stations nommées Bayreuth, Berlin, Baden-Baden ou Vienne aux critiques de Boulez envers l'Orchestre de Paris, l'Opéra-Bastille et d'autres de nos institutions. On y voit une personnalité hors du commun en découdre avec la "France officielle", voire ridiculiser ses détracteurs avec la force insolente du Siegfried de Wagner : je ne mais pas avoir de la reconnaissance quand je n'ai pas à en avoir.
