Flute and Piano. Par LOPEZ ALAIN. Le vent emporte les feuilles jaunies tombées sur les trottoirs, les cafés rentrent tables et chaises... J'évoque ici une balade automnale qu'il est bien difficile de faire tranquillement à Paris. Comment prendre son temps dans cette ville avec tant de rues à traverser (phrases musicales de 3 mesures), tant de voitures ou de bus à esquiver (départs des phrases musi…

Organ Music on American Hymn Tunes. Par . The familiar hymns that James J. Stanley has chosen for this collection are of American origin, come primarily from the 19th century, and remain favorites in nearly every hymnal. As usual, Stanley employs a very creative approach to his hymn settings, sometimes coming at a tune with a different perspective than is usually expected. This allows the performe…

Par SILVESTRINI GILLES. I - Bacchus et Ariane à Naxos (1656) Le titre de ce tableau fascinant n’est pas de l’artiste. La reine ou déesse qui se retourne, courroucée, en découvrant un homme tapi dans l’ombre, ne semble pas correspondre à Ariane abandonnée, encore moins à Nausicaa, comme on l’a proposé. Mais si la fable nous échappe aujourd’hui, un drame splendide se joue sur la toile. Locus terribi…

Par ZUCKER LAUREL. The Honduras Sonata for flute and guitar was composed during a visit to Honduras by the composer. The sonata is in three movements: Pico Bonita, Copan Ruins, and Lovely Cotinga.

The Copan Ruins, in the far west of Honduras, are the remnants of the Copan civilization and give visitors a chan…

Motet. Par PACHELBEL JOHANN. Nun danket alle Gott (Now thank we all our God) Motet Pachelbel's choral works excel in the magnificence and festive splendour of their tonal effect, but at no point do they depart from an easy singable style. Simplicity of harmonic texture and voice leading is a characteristic of Pachelbel's art generally, but it asserts itself especially in these vocal compositions. …

Par BERLIOZ HECTOR. Comme dans un jeu de cartes, quatre reines ont régné sur la vie de Berlioz, et enflammèrent le coeur de l'artiste. Avec ses quatre parties, la suite pour piano à 6 mains 'Reines d'un coeur' nous livre quelques pensées et confidences du Maître, relatives à chacune d'entre elles. - Estelle FORNIER, jeune fille de 18 ans, rencontrée en vacances, alors que Berlioz n'avait que 12…

The Orgelbüchlein Project is a collective composition project aiming to complete Bach's unfinished manuscript known as 'Orgelbüchlein'. In the 'Little Organ Book', Bach laid out a complete hymnal of short organ chorale, 164 in all, but only completed 46 of them. Why the remaining 118 were left as blank pages, with only a title at the head, remains a mystery, but they inspired organists William Whi…

Par GARIBOLDI G.. Préluder, s?échauffer, se « mettre en condition »... est effectivement un art. S?il paraît évident que les muscles mobilisés pour le son et la respiration ont besoin d?échauffement, il est tout autant nécessaire de mettre en vibration les mouvements de l?âme et de l?expression. L?art de préluder, écrit par l?auteur des Études Mignonnes, propose d?unir et de mettre en résonance c…

Arr. Philip Sparke. Par HOLST GUSTAV. Christina Rossetti wrote the words to this famous Christmas carol in 1872 in response to a request from the magazine Scribner's Monthly for a Christmas poem.

Par BULLA STEPHEN. As one of the great pillars of church hymnody, the song All Creatures of Our God lives through the centuries. The associated words are attributed to St. Francis of Assisi and they were wed to this melody in a hymnal first published in 1623. The setting adds a contemporary flare to the tune by combining it with up-beat, original material. / Niveau : 3 / Hymnes et chorals / Rép…
