Solomotette Zum Dreifaltigkeitsfest Oder Zu Weihnachten. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS.

It has survived in a manuscript from Salzburg. This “Salzburg version, ” which was discovered in 1978, differs from the “Milan version” primarily thro…

Par HARVEY JONATHAN. '. . . A fascinating evocative soundscape: a long-drawn, hovering, gently undulating melodic line sustained high on the violin above an almost continuous, rhythmless susurration of piano sound produced by the fingers playing inside the instrument.'David Cairns, The Sunday Times, 13 May 1984/ Répertoire / Violon et Piano

Jesu bleibet meine Freude from Cantata 147. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Bach’s appointment as the Cantor at Leipzig’s Thomaskirche in 1723 required him to produce a new cantata for every Sunday service. Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring is taken from his Cantata No. 147 and is unusually elaborate, treated more like an aria than a chorale. It is perhaps the best-loved cantata movement from Bach’s entire o…

. . .were not just impressive: they seemed to enter the repertoire before one's very ears.The Sunday Times (Paul Driver), 9 February 1986

'O Lux Beata? ('O Blessed Light') was commissioned by The Fotheringhay Singers (Marius Carney, conductor). The work, a setting of a 4th-century hymn text ascribed to St Ambrose of Milan, contrasts a plainsong style melody over the organ pedals with the rich and lyrical outpouring of larger choral sections. Although challenging in places, the subtle chromaticism and occasional lush close-harmonies …

Par BRUCKNER ANTON. Great art in small forms ? Bruckner's smaller sacred works reveal a more personal side to the master symphonist and creator of large-scale orchestral masses. Throughout his life, Bruckner?s deep faith and dedication to the Catholic liturgy inspired him to write church music in smaller forms suitable for performance at Sunday services or in sacred concerts. The long phrases and …

Par ARNOLD MALCOLM. Written in 1966, Arnold drew on a more personal inspiration for these dances rather than folk music. Transcribed by Ray Farr, the music depicts the fishermen, farm workers and tin miners native to Cornwall going about their lives - it also includes a brief visit to the local Methodist chapel for a Sunday morning sevice!/ Répertoire / Brass Band

Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. All of Bach ’s six authenticated motets were written between 1723 and 1727 for St Thomas’ Church, Leipzig, where Bach was appointed as director of music in 1723. During this period, Bach composed most of his cantatas, and it seems likely that for ordinary Sunday services he used existing motets from the seventeenth century tradition, reserving his own motet compositions …

Par SPARKE PHILIP. Manhattan nous emmène à New York le temps d’un week-end. Le mouvement d’ouverture, Saturday Serenade, baigne dans l’atmosphère “bluesy” d’un samedi soir probablement passé dans l’ambiance feutrée et enfumée d’un club de jazz. Avec Sunday Scherzo, Philip Sparke illustre un jogging matinal dans Central Park. Ce second mouvement, rythmiquement dynamique, se conclut sur une coda enc…
