H 18, 19 (Full Score with preface in D, ENG, F). Par CHARPENTIER MARC-ANTOINE. In the extensive ?uvre of French composer Marc-Antoine Charpentier, the Marian Antiphons take pride of place among the smaller sacred works. He devoted himself to them for almost 25 years while working in the Italian-influenced circle of the Duchess Marie de Lorraine (known as Mademoiselle de Guise) and later in the ser…

Par REGISTER P. BRENT. Cigány Könnyek (Gypsy Tears) by P. Brent Register is a work in two parts for violin and piano. The opening section, free and almost improvisatory, leads to a rhythmically charged and vibrant dance in 5/8 time./ Répertoire / Violon et Piano

Par CAFARO PASQUALE. Pasquale Cafaro, born in S. Pietro in Galantina in 1715; he was directed by his family to 'scientific' studies (science of law) but soon abandoned them for musical ones. He then entered the Conservatorio della Pietà de' Turchini as a son at the age of 18, almost as an adult. His main teacher was one of the greatest musicians of the 18th century, Leonardo Leo, who immediately r…

Our songbook features all 13 songs from the album, inclu…

Par SCHWARZ OTTO M.. With this composition, Otto M. Schwarz shows himself totally capable of composing a work with a somber, almost melancholic character. Melody and counterpoint, accompanied by a peaceful harmony, play a kind of question and answer game in this short composition. The piece is written in a rather ABA form, with the perusiion complementing the whole very effectively. / Niveau : 2 …

Intermediate-level arrangements of well-known Classical and Romantic works. Par AUTEURS DIVERS / BROOKER DAVID (Arr.). In his preface to 'Piano Trios on Stage”, the arranger, David Brooker, reminds us that, just as the string quartet, the piano trio has always been one of the pillars of chamber music. In the 19th and early 20th century, it was almost like the later invention of the gramophone reco…

Par VAUGHAN WILLIAMS RALPH. Of all his early chamber works, the 'Nocturne' is most clearly by the mature Vaughan Williams, almost anticipating the influence of Ravel which followed his lessons from the French composer in 1908. In the veiled beauty of its highly chromatic harmonies we hear already the tone-poet of the slow movement of 'A London Symphony', while in the fleet-footed 'Scherzo' there i…

From Balletti a cinque voci. Par GASTOLDI GIOVANNI GIACOMO. During the second half of the 16th century, Giovanni Giacomo Gastoldi composed almost entirely sacred works, however it was with his Balletti, not published until 1591 and 1594, that he gained fame and recognition. The homophonic structure and simple melodies conveyed a charming sense of naivety that became so popular during this period. …

18 first pieces for young beginners. Par RAE JAMES. Child's Play by James Rae provides the simplest possible little performance pieces, almost from a pupil's first lesson. These pieces couldn't be easier and still have a tune, yet the clever piano accompaniments provide support and interest and make them great fun to perform. Mostly original pieces, sprinkled with some old favourites, they introdu…

The little march composed in 1924 forms the nucleus of the suite for wind instruments Mládí (HN 1093/7093), in which the jaunty flute theme weaves through the 3rd movement. Incidentally, the 'bluebirds? do not refer to birds but to the light blue robes worn by the choristers at the monastery in Brno, which Janá?ek entered at the age of eleven. Almost 60 years later during a visit to Potsdam he rem…

Arr. Philip Sparke. Par FRANCK CESAR. Although Cesar Franck won many prizes during his student days his music was generally unrecognised by his contemporaries. His pieces were written in the romantic style whilst retaining a classical structure and his later compositions were referred to as 'cathedrals of sound'. Panis Angelicus is poetic and almost serene and this arrangement by Philip Sparke ret…
