Par RUTTER JOHN. The instrumentation for this work is the same as Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No.5. The Suite is made up of six movements ranging from a 'Bach-like Aria' to a 'Richard Rodgers-style Waltz'. Rutter's own style comes through most strongly in the final Rondeau with its characteristically forward-driving rhythms and beautiful melodic lines. Evoking an 'antique' spirit, each movement is…

Tonalité : C-Dur -. Par RICHTER FRANZ XAVER. It may assumed that this Mass dates from the earlier part of Richter's career. The scoring is relatively light, and in its overall dimensions the C major Mass belongs to the category of the missa brevis rather than that of the cantata mass such as Richter often composed. / Messe / Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB, 2 Hautbois, 2 Violons,

A taste of the twenties, a sentimental ballad, a jazz waltz and some funk-rock are brought together in a suite which explores the lighter side of string playing.Drawing on a variety of poplular styles, some less familiar rhythms and bowing patterns, and a fresh harmonic framework, it offers plenty of new challenges for the string ensemble of moderate ability without overstretchin…

Northumberland is the most northerly county in England with a diverse landscape of ancient moorlands and magnificent coastlines. It has been at the centre of much conflict, latterly between the Scots and the English. This charming suite captures a flavour of its rich musical heritage. (6:30) / Orchestre

C-Dur. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. Leopold Mozart described KV 262, unlike Mozart's considerably shorter masses of the same period, as a 'Missa longa'. The prolixity of some of the movements and of concluding fugues in the 'Gloria' and 'Credo' is indeed surprising. The full orchestral scoring also emphasizes the ceremonial character of this Mass. / Messe / Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB…

Full of educational opportunities for every section, this two-movement work has an old-fashioned folk music sound. 'Wisteria Waltz' is lush and legato while 'Fig's Frolic' is patterned after the energy of cute but hungry little dog. Two contrasting gems! (3:30) / Orchestre A Cordes
