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…

Ergänzt Von Robert D. Levin. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. The Requiem is known to the general public in the version undertaken immediately after Mozart's death by his pupil Franz Yaver Süßmayr. The attacks against Süßmayr's completion began in 1825, when the so-called 'Requiem Controversy' erupted. Over the last decade a number of musicians have attempted to cleanse the Requiem of the deficiencies…

Par CURNOW JAMES. This two-movement work has an overall rich and dark quality, brought about by the modal tonal centers. The broad, flowing 'Chorale' is based on an original tune by James Curnow and is written with wonderful variety in texture. The 'Caprice' creates an interesting contrast with its more lively, aggressive feel. / Niveau : 1 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band

Edizione critica di - Critical edition by Italo Vescovo. Par PAGANINI NICCOLO. This Capriccio per violino solo M.S. 54 should be considered as part of the group of short musical dedications that Paganini was in the habit of giving away to friends, colleagues and the personalities he met during his travels. Dated 1828, dedicated to Count Maurizio Dietrichstein, is a truly unique work, not only for …

Par PLE BERTRAND. Le texte du Victimæ paschali laudes serait probablement l’œuvre de Wipo de Bourgogne, auteur du xie siècle. Cette séquence liturgique a inspiré de nombreux compositeurs, en particulier aux xvie et xviie siècles, notamment Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, Roland de Lassus ou William Byrd. Pour mettre en avant la dramaturgie du texte, j’ai choisi d’engager ma propre lecture jusque…

Of these, many w…
