These three short chorales (G major, G minor, G major) are excellent warm-up exercises, but would also be very useful for training ensembles to listen for pure intonation. Vibrato and tone quality could also be focused upon, as well as watching the conductor for pauses and upbeats. Dynamics are suggested to assist with the shaping of phrases. Each chorale can stand alone, as a processional or rece…

Kantate Für Einen Bußgottesdienst (Fassung In A). Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. It seems likely that the composition of this work was connected with a penitential service held in the Marienkirche in Mühlhausen to commemorate the disastrous fire which had destroyed large parts of the town on the 29th May 1707, but it has not been possible to discover documentary evidence to prove the correctness of th…

Par VAUCHER FANNY. Jacques Brel, par ses textes, ne laisse aucun doute sur sa place dans la littérature française et dans l’étude en milieu scolaire ou universitaire. Le but de cet ouvrage est d’apporter un support à l’analyse des textes bréliens et d’en proposer une vision, sans doute parcellaire, mais néanmoins construite.  Le présent travail a tenté de dépasser l’imposante personnalité de l’hom…

Après les succès extraordinaires de Belle Hélène (1864) et Vie parisienne (1866), le triumvirat Offenbach / Meilhac / Halévy a atteint le zénith de sa gloire en 1867 avec son Grand-Duché de Gérolstein - mais seulement après des suppressions drastiques et des révisions. Aucune autre Offenbachiade tant souffert de coupures faites dans le but d'accueillir le goût populaire de l'époque. En conséquence…

C-Dur. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. Mozart’s 'Adagio in C major' for English horn, 2 violins and violoncello KV 580a has survived as a fragment but based on a comparison of analogous passages the editor, Helmut Renz, was able to complete the movement. In the Carus edition an arrangement by an unknown author from before 1900 for oboe and string quartet has also been included. The arrangement is wri…

In 1774 Gluck had committed himself to supplying six stage works to the Académie Royale de Musique in Paris.

(BA 5845-90).In the case of 'Alceste? which was premiered in 1776 and which was the prototype of the so-called reform opera, the composer created a completely new versi…

Par RAVEL MAURICE. Ravel’s plans for a piano concerto can be traced back to 1906, but it was only in early 1929 that the composer seriously started work on one. He later stated that he wrote it “in the spirit of the concertos by Mozart and Saint-Saëns”, the music being “cheerful and brilliant” and not “aiming for profundity or dramatic effects”. The outer movements are characterised by rhythmic dr…
