Version for piano and string quintet. Par HAKIM NAJI. This concerto follows the structure of the Italian overture – fast, slow, fast. The first movement is a sonata form without development, based on three themes, rhythmical, oriental, waltz respectively. The second movement is characterized by an initial theme with Chopinesque-contours, followed by a more agitated theme and a choral-theme accompanied by a carillon in the treble register of the piano. The recapitulation includes a cadenza, Variation on the choral-theme. The finale is a rondo with a cheerful refrain twirling as a tarentella. Ist festive and dance-like episodes are combined with the perpetuum mobile of the refrain and its variations and the work is rounded off with a brillant, luminous coda.

This setting of 'O Holy Night' and 'Silent Night' beautifully re-imagines the coloristic possibilities of two Christmas favorites. The arrangement pays respect to the traditional melodies, and especially follows the dramatic contours of Adolphe Adam's 'O Holy Night,' while using original and intriguing harmonic choices. A lovely and memorable addition to your holiday season concert program. (3:30) / Concert Band

Pierre Mikaïloff (Auteur) / En six albums studio, un album de remixes et deux live, Noir Désir est devenu l'incarnation la plus parfaite et la plus vive du rock français. Le groupe de Serge Teyssot-Gay, Frédéric Vidalenc (jusqu'en 1995), Jean-Paul Roy, Denis Barthe et Bertrand Cantat a redessiné, dès 1987, les contours du paysage musical hexagonal, lui apportant sens de l'engagement, énergie électrique et refus permanent du compromis. Au-delà du très médiatisé " épisode Vilnius " et de la tragédie qui y restera à jamais associée, le "perpétuel combat de Noir Désir contre la médiocrité et le conformisme", pour reprendre les mots de Jean Fauque, est loin de prendre fin et nul ne pourrait contester l'immarcescible statut de "Noir Dez". Aucune biographie n'avait, à ce jour, retracé l'itinéraire des "quatre garçons en colère" avec une telle exhaustivité et un tel souci de précision, des premières errances bordelaises au désormais très attendu prochain album.
