Carl Maria von Weber - Sämtliche Werke, Vol. 3. Par WEBER CARL MARIA VON. Carl Maria von Weber‘s fame rests mainly on ‚Der Freischütz‘.

Par RAMEAU JEAN-PHILIPPE. Rameau La Naissance d'Osiris (Vocal Score) Originally conceived as a prologue for the ballet “Les Beaux Jours de l'Amour”, the one-act play “La Naissance d'Osiris” was only performed twice, together with revivals of “Pigmalion” and “Les Incas de Pérou” (the second act of the opera-ballet “Les Indes galantes”) in 1754.  The occasion was the birth of the Duc de Berry, late…

Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. Mozart composed his two “Lodron Serenades” for open-air performances on the name day of Countess Antonia Lodron in June 1776 and 1777. Their bright “al fresco” character is immediately recognisable. Alfred Einstein considered these two divertimentos to be “among the purest, gayest, most satisfying, and most perfect that ever assumed musical form”. For both works Mozart…

Par TAUZIN BRUNO. Voici le deuxième volume des “100 meilleurs riffs de basse”. A l’instar du premier, et comme l’indique clairement son titre, celui-ci recense 100 nouveaux riffs pour les bassistes. Mais pas n’importe quels riffs bien sûr... des riffs mythiques dans l’esprit des plus grands tubes de la musique moderne, tous styles confondus (funk, blues, rock, hard, reggae...), ces morceaux qui on…

'Undecim' is Latin for 'eleven,' referring both to the 'eleventh hour' (the last opportunity to get something done) and the opening metric feel of the piece (7/8 + 2/4 = 11 eighth notes). This high-energy opener is the perfect way to begin your next concert! (3:15) / Concert Band

Par CORSELIS MARIE. Serait-ce donc un pléonasme que d’élever la musique au rang d’un art, comme si l’enseignement de la flûte ou de la guitare pouvait viser autre chose et impliquait un choix  : la musique, prétexte éducatif ou but en soi  ; la pratique instrumentale, simple mobile d’éveil, de développement psychomoteur, ou approche exclusivement artistique, l’épanouissement venant de surcroît  ? …

Par BRUBECK DAVE. This book of nocturnes is directed toward the music teachers who do not teach Jazz, and to their students who are not yet committed to learn Jazz improvisations. Some of my piano books contain improvisations transcribed from my recordings, important for jazz students who wish to study how improvisations develop from basic thematic and harmonic material. However, these Nocturnes, …

Homage to Anish Kapoor and his sculpture 'Marsyas'. Par PART ARVO. Arvo Pärt about Lamentate: 'Lamentate is music for piano solo and orchestra. With respect to its form, however, the composition cannot really be described as a typical piano concerto. I chose the piano to be the solo instrument because it fixes our attention on something that is 'one'. This 'one' could be a person, or perhaps a fir…

The first three movements of Johannes Brahms' E minor Cello Sonata were composed in 1862, the last movement was written in 1865. During the first years of its performance the work was received with mixed enthusiasm. By the end of Brahms' life, however, it was widely performed and by the first decades of the 20th century it was firmly embedded in the repertoire of many distinguished cellists. It wa…

Par CURNOW JAMES. This splendid Christmas work gives you a three verse setting of the ancient melody In Dulci Jubilo which is generally associated with the text Good Christian Men Rejoyce. There is however a slight twist to this version in that each verse is a setting by three different composers covering over 300 years. The first setting is by the German composer Michael Praetorius (1571-1621), t…
