Johannespassion. Par HOMILIUS GOTTFRIED AUGUST. The oratorio Passions by Homilius were among the last compositions of their kind in the 18th century. In an oratorio Passion the chorus is restricted mainly to singing the chorales and the interjections of the crowd; only the conclusion of a Passion provides an opportunity for an extensive choral movement. In the St. John Passion the final chorus emp…

Par MENDELSSOHN-BARTHOLDY FELIX. In 1872, shortly after a stay with Thibaut in Heidelberg, 'Tu es Petrus' was composed, an echo of his contact with the style of Palestrina. Mendelssohn himself considered the work, which uses and artful and strictly contrapuntal development of the motif, the 'most successful piece' of that year./ Répertoire / Choeur SSATB, 2 Flûtes Traversières, 2 Hautbois, 2

Full Score. Par BERLIOZ HECTOR. Hector Berlioz (1803–1869), considered the father of modern orchestration, possessed an intuitive musical genius all the more remarkable for his limited formal musical education. A brilliant colorist, a master of the unexpected rhythmic break, he brought a new symphonic richness to Romantic music. Both damned and venerated by his contemporaries — Mendelssohn conside…

Surtout célèbre comme compositeur d'opéra, de Donizetti est donc le représentant italien le plus important du genre du quatuor à cordes. Si les premiers quatuors peuvent être considérées comme des expériences du jeune compositeur avec une forme strictement classique, les pièces intermédiaires et plus tard sont des expressions sans équivoque d'un esprit mature musicaleLes Quatuors à cordes n o. 1-6…

for Ji-nashi Shakuhachi (in D and A) and Double Choir. Par PANUFNIK ROXANNE. In 2005, ji-nashi shakuhachi player Kiku Day approached me to write a piece for her, as part of her mission to increase the use of the shakuhachi (Japanese bamboo flute) in Western classical music. When she played to me, its warmth and huskiness seemed so spookily like a human voice that I decided an a cappella double cho…

Par ESPLO HAAKON. Nice Day for a Stroll depicts just this, a leisurely stroll around the park. Make sure the piece is not played too fast. With its light jazz touch, the rhythm and the triplets should rather be a bit behind to get the right style. All instruments have small solo parts and melodies that change. The piece is easy to listen to for the audience and will fit well for almost any concert…

Par OSWALD GERALD. Dans cette œuvre, le compositeur dépeint une journée mouvementée dans la vie d’un cowboy. Tandis que son cheval galope dans la plaine, des nuages de « poussière de cowboy » (Cowboy Dust) tourbillonnent derrière lui. Il chevauche dans la prairie, évitant des serpents dangereux, galope à travers des champs poussiéreux et tombe dans une embuscade de bandits. Il sort victorieux de l…

Par SPARKE PHILIP. Music is perhaps unique among the performing arts in its ability to express and convey the subtlest nuances of human emotion This ability is exploited in When the Spirit Soars which attempts to capture in music the feeling of extreme happiness, sometimes almost too much to bear, that we all experience at one time or another. Often this happiness can be tinged with sadness (we ca…

Par VINAY GIANFRANCO. Depuis la nuit des temps le miroir réfléchit et l’homme réfléchit sur la signification de cette réflexion. Miroitements et réflexions sont au cœur de la recherche artistique de Gianfranco Vinay, ainsi que les calques et les voiles : « Cache-cache feutré et ontologique, les œuvres de l’artiste trahissent non d’un épais brouillard son geste esthétique mais d’un voile énigmatiqu…

With his clarinet quintet, begun in 1915, Reger was remembering his role models Mozart and Brahms, whose works in this genre he particularly admired. This melancholic quintet that is worked through in a strictly motivic way was to be Reger's last opus. Shortly after he had sent it to his publisher, he died of heart attack in May 1916. The quintet was to become his swan song, first performed at a m…

Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. In his Preludes and Fugues, Johann Sebastian Bach made decisive contributions to the development of this genre tradition. The importance of this work group in his own organ oeuvre is confirmed by the many transmitted sources: hardly any autographs, but all the more copies. The genesis of the works and the question of versions associated with it are described at length in…
