Kantate. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. The Vienna Musicians’ Society, a pension fund for the widows and orphans of professional musicians, asked Mozart, among others, to compose a choral work for performance at their benefit concert series. Presumably it was due not just to the pressure of a deadline, but also for the chance to have the music of the torso of the great C minor Mass, K. 427, performe…

Take My Life, and Let It Be Consecrated was written by hymnist, Frances Ridley Havergal, daughter of the well-known English hymnist William Havergal. Francis wrote that it was on occasion of visiting the home of a friend that the hymn was composed. It seems there were ten persons in the home that she was visiting, some converted and some still unconverted. She prayed, 'Lord, give me all in this ho…

Par KANDER JOHN / BEALE CHARLES (Arr.). Chicago! is perhaps the greatest and bestloved creation of writing team John Kander and Fred Ebb. In We both reached for the gun, Roxie is accused of killing her violent lover and Flynn’s argument is that they both ‘reached for the gun’ at the same time – Roxie had no choice but to kill him, or she would have died. In the staging, Roxie is portrayed as Billy…

La biographie incontournable de l'électron libre de la chanson française ! À 15 ans, passionné par le chant, il quitte ses parents pour Paris, et se fraye, seul, un chemin dans la jungle artistique. Il s'essaie d'abord au cinéma. Mais sa célèbre voix finit par le rattraper et c'est dans la chanson qu'il connaît son premier succès, N'importe quoi en 1987. Avec son Perfecto et ses anneaux aux oreil…

Par DE HAAN JACOB. Pacific Dreams describes the experience of Miguel, a traveling composer from Spain who, feeling somewhat alienated from his homeland, is wandering through an area of Sydney known as The Rocks. At a small outdoor market in a typical street of this oldcolonial neighbourhood, he discovers a print of William DeShazos painting 'Pacific Dreams' Portrayed in the painting is the surf of…

Suite for strings. Par LORD JON. Jon Lord dedicated the Suite for string orchestra to Sir Malcolm Arnold who is portrayed in the first movement. Another two musical pictures (his mother and an old friend) make the study of analogies and contrasts of the persona complete./ Répertoire / Orchestre à Cordes

Par DUCOL BRUNO. Emprunté au fameux hymne de Mésomède de Crète, le titre de cet ouvrage fait écho au nom du quatuor Hélios (soleil), son dédicataire. Et bien au-delà de ce clin d’œil, toute cette composition s’inspire du « poïkilon » des Grecs, un terme désignant l’infinie variété des lumières et couleurs qui émanent du Soleil mais aussi d’autres divinités telle Aphrodite. Comme l’astre solaire, l…

Par SCHUBERT FRANZ. Schubert n’a eu besoin que de dix jours pour la notation par écrit de son Quatuor à cordes en Sol majeur, l’une de ses oeuvres de musique de chambre pour ainsi dire monumentales. Avec ses dimensions littéralement symphoniques, ce dernier quatuor rappelle son grand Quintette à cordes en Ut majeur. Et effectivement, Schubert voulait, comme le révèle un passage d’une de ses lettre…

Par CASTELNUOVO-TEDESCO MARIO. Born into a family that had lived in Florence since the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492, Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco (1895-1968) entertained only a distant relationship with the music he heard at synagogue. It was only when he discovered Schelemo, a rhapsody for cello and orchestra written in 1916 by Ernest Bloch, that he began to understand what ' Jewish mus…

Par EBB FRED / KANDER JOHN. First performed in 1975, Chicago has become a true classic, and no other show better portrays decidedly questionable human characteristics. Razzle Dazzle features big-shot lawyer Billy Flynn. The lovely but naïve Roxie Hart stands accused of murder, which we know she committed. Here, Billy gleefully explains how to ‘razzle dazzle’ a jury and indeed newspaper readers, us…

Par VAN DER ROOST JAN. This stately concert opener was originally written by Jan Van der Roost for a special event in which six respected wind orchestras (two Belgian and four Dutch) of different composition (two symphonic bands, two fanfare bands and two brass bands) were featured during six concerts. Each evening brought forth a performance by a symphonic band, a fanfare, and brass band, so that…
