Par YE XIAOGANG. 'Datura was commissioned by Accessible Contemporary Music and was written in a unique way. I composed the piece in installments over the summer of 2006 and emailed them to Seth Boustead who forwarded them on to the ensemble. In this unique way of working I was able to have time between each installment to think about what would come next and to get feedback from the performers abo…

Tonalité : E-Dur -. Par REICHA ANTON. Zu den großen, wenn auch kaum bekannt gewordenen Te Deum-Vertonungen der Übergangszeit zwischen Klassik und Romantik gehört zweifellos auch das zu seiner Zeit ungedruckt gebliebene Te Deum von Antonin Rejcha von 1825, das hier als Erstausgabe vorliegt. Schon die Grundtonart E-Dur hebt das reich besetzte Werk von vielen anderen Vertonungen des 'ambrosianischen …

Par SPARKE PHILIP. Le 30 avril 1803, le Traité de cession de la Louisiane entre la France et les États-Unis était signé. L’acquisition de ces terres permet aux États-Unis de doubler la superficie de leur territoire de l’époque. Meriwether Lewis et William Clark sont alors mandatés par le président Thomas Jefferson, pour cartographier les sources du Missouri et tracer une voie vers le Pacifique. Pa…

Par VAUGHAN WILLIAMS RALPH. The Piano Quintet in C is a substantial and superbly written work lasting some 30 minutes. The first movement, marked Allegro con fuoco, is expansive, loquacious and filled with late romantic passion, its harmonies Brahmsian for the most part but tinged with modality in the quieter passages. The expressive romantic melody of the Andante second movement is fully characte…

In 1803 Beethoven wrote his Third Symphony and, as is widely known, it was originally in honour of Napoleon Bonaparte. Yet it was published three years later with a dedication to Beethoven's patron Prince Lobkowitz as well as with the addition 'Sinfonia Eroica? in memory of a 'grand Uomo?. This presumably - reflecting the changed political situation - referred to the Prussian Prince Louis Ferdinan…

Opera in three acts. Par HAENDEL GEORG FRIEDRICH. George Frideric Handel's 'Siroe, Re di Persia', HWV 24, was premiered on February 17, 1728 at the King's Theatre in London's Haymarket. With Francesca Cuzzoni, Faustina Bordoni and Francesco Bernardi, known as Senesino, the composer had top-class vocal soloists famous throughout Europe at his disposal for no fewer than 17 consecutive performances. …

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…
