Tonalité : Es-Dur - Horn, Paul (Arr.) -. Par BIBER HEINRICH IGNAZ FRANZ. Stylistically, this anonymous sonata for scordatura violin, which has been preserved in the holdings of the Dresden Court Orchestra, points to the southern German-Austrian school of violin, and it shows the high level of the art of violin playing in Germany in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. A contemporary, handwritte…

Par JOLLIFFE EDMUND. Although the English madrigal has been fairly described by John Rutter as a completed historical form, its younger sibling the partsong still flourishes in the hands of sympathetic composers like Edmund Jolliffe, who can clothe secular texts with music a cappella that fits their sentiments like a glove. In fact John Donne 's verse, though of a later period, receives a setting …

Par SCHUBERT FRANZ. Octet in F major Op. post. 166 D 803 for Clarinet (in B-flat), Bassoon, Horn, Violin (2), Viola, Violincello, Double Bass “I have done little new by way of lieder. In compensation I have tried my hand at several instrumental things, for I have composed two quartets for Violins, Viola and Violincello [A minor, D 804; D minor, D 810] and an octet [F major, D 803] and will write y…

Par SPARKE PHILIP. The idea behind this work was to create an opening piece, something to start a concert in an unusual way. The title is a portmanteau word derived from madrigal. The work indeed begins in Renaissance mood however gradually tries to shake of its modal start and, by contrasting different instrumental families, the work changes into modern clothes. Why not add a little Renaissance s…

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…

Song of Liberation. Par DE HAAN JACOB. A composition with the liberation from the Second World War as its theme. After a solemn introduction one hears the melody of the hymn Abide with you, which was sung a lot during the war. Following there are variations on the theme, finally leading to the magisterial conclusion that represents the ultimate liberation. The work may be interpreted as popular mu…

Par SPARKE PHILIP. Morning Song features the horn quartet mostly in a soloistic role - indeed there is an accompanied cadenza towards the end of the piece - but there are moments where the horns assume their conventional fanfare band role as harmonic support or playing the counter melody. This expressive composition shows all the versatility of the horn quartet and gives them the chance to be in t…

Choralkantate. Par REGER MAX. The choral cantatas are Reger's most personal and most substantial contribution to one of the principal categories of Protestant church music, and they are only major works in this field by one of the foremost composers of his time. This is true despite the fact that Reger himself does not appear to have considered the cantatas to figure among his principal compositio…
