Par VINE CARL. Composed for Steven Isserlis in 2004, Carl Vine's Cello Concerto is an exhilarating 20-minute work that traverses a vast emotional palette.  The Concerto begins arrestingly, with soloist pitted against orchestra, though as it develops the two factions move towards union. A slow chorale led by the cellist frames the central section, whilst relentless motor rhythms drive the work to i…

The opening chorale and the final chorus form a frame for the four solo arias of the main section (ATB). Here…

SAM-Klang. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. Le nom SAM-Klang reprend la premie`re lettre des parties vocales en anglais ¬– soprano, alto et men (« hommes ») - et combine cet acronyme avec le mot «Klang », signifiant «son » en danois et allemands, pour cre´er le mot-valise SAM-Klang : « son-ensemble » ou plus ge´ne´ralement, « harmonie ».

Since the last movement of this piece, which is perhaps the most beautiful of Hindemith's pieces, is a chorale, a version for string instrument plus organ is the obvious work to publish. Thus, 'Trauermusik' can now be performed in churches as well.Versions of 'Trauermusik' for viola or violin or violoncello with piano have been available for quite some time. Now, organists too can include this fam…

Par SPARKE PHILIP. Avec Pomp and Circumstance, un cycle de cinq marches militaires, Edward Elgar a donné à la marche une véritable dimension symphonique. La Marche n° 1 est incontestablement la plus célèbre des cinq. De la mélodie du trio, Elgar devait déclarer qu’elle était de celles dont on n’a l’inspiration « qu’une fois dans sa vie ». Il réutilisera cette mélodie dans son oeuvre chorale Corona…

Par KILLMAYER WILHELM. ‘Humour plays a role, and my pieces are also an attempt to entertain people.’ Words not often associated with contemporary music, but Wilhelm Killmayer wants to place fun and seriousness side by side. Different tonal spheres are found in the “Impromptu” and the jaunty “Scherzo lento” which uses tap tones for example. The “Chorale” that follows allows the music to drift seaml…

Par SPARKE PHILIP. In Letter from Home Philip Sparke portrays the many feelings and emotions that a letter from home can evoke. This intimate work opens with a gentle woodwind melody, which gradually becomes more confused as new emotions are introduced. Finally resignation sets in, but a sense of peace and balance is restored with the final chorale. In this emotional work Philip Sparke truly captu…
