This is a bold reimagining of Hildegard's chant, both tune and text. Actively quoting the source material, DiOrio's setting takes Hildegard's music as a launching point from which to imagine new sonic possibilities. This piece is meant to be experienced in the round, as the voices surround the audience and attempt to create an enactment of Hildegard's visions. Duration: ca. 5 minutes. / Choeur Mix…

Par SAARIAHO KAIJA. The two violin duets entitled Danse des Flocons were first written by the composer for her daughter Aliisa, who at the time was seven years old and an aspiring violinist. The titular flocons (flakes) refer both to snow - and Aliisa’s middle name Neige - and to pollen raining from the trees in the spring and summer. Danse des Flocons I & II are arranged here for string orchestra…

Sleigh Ride. Par CURNOW JAMES. Troika is a Russian word that means a group of three but it also means a light Russian sleigh pulled by three horses. Christmas Troika portrays the joy of Christmas via a musical sleigh-ride. Listen as the glistening snow crinkles beneath the weight of the sleigh and the hooves of the prancing horses as it travels through the countryside. One can almost see the frost…

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…

Over the Rainbow is a standard that has become forever associated with its most famous interpreter, Judy Garland. Her troubled adult years only added poignancy to her guileless interpretation of the song, preserved on celluloid in The Wizard of Oz when she was seventeen. The song would also do something similar for Eva Cassidy whose 1992 version brought her posthumous fame almost a decade later. A…

Par MAGALIF EUGENE. Ave Maria for Flute Choir by Eugene Magalif. From the composer: 'The creation of a new Ave Maria requires a certain amount of courage from composers. There are many versions of Ave Maria in the world and it is very risky to compete with Schubert, Bach or Caccini (Vavilov). I did not begin to compose another aria, but composed a polyphonic version, in which the intertwining voic…

Par MC NEFF STEPHEN. My research for Banished began with a small group of students during a Trinity Laban co-lab period in 2013, though the idea goes back over 30 years when I first saw Steve Gooch’s Female Transport and stored the idea of adapting it as an opera until the right opportunity arose. I have been involved in opera for a long time and it has always been a frustration for me that while …

Par SPENGLER ALEXANDRE. Adam et Eve ! Qui ne connait pas ces deux personnages qui, d'après les Ecritures, sont à l'origine physique de notre humanité ' Alexandre Spengler utilise cette allégorie comme fil conducteur du Dodécalogue, et met en scène un conte merveilleux qui donnera de l'espoir à tous ceux qui rêvent d'un monde où l'amour reprendra sa vraie place, toute sa place. Il crée aussi de mul…

Tropus. Par SCHNEIDER ENJOTT. In this composition Schneider uses the famous words from the liturgy for Good Friday: “Darkness fell, and on the ninth hour Jesus called out with a loud voice: My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?” Here he draws on the earlier form of the “trope”, using what was a common device in composition in medieval times, inserted into already completed works as a sort of commenta…

Par DONIZETTI GAETANO. Through works such as Verdi’s Requiem or Puccini’s Messa di Gloria, we know that the great composers of Italian bel canto opera also wrote marvelous sacred music. Yet most of these pieces are rarely performed. This is also true of Gaetano Donizetti’s Messa di Requiem, which he composed as an expression of grief at the early death of Vincenzo Bellini in 1835. Neither performe…
