per organo. Par VASKS PETERIS. 'Viatore' was originally one of Peteris Vasks's extremely successful works for string orchestra. This newly-published arrangement translates the inexorably shimmering original string sound of the piece into a sonorous organ sound foundation. In the adaptation for organ, the catchy motif of 'Viatore' (Passenger) receives entirely new dynamic possibilities. The whole s…

Par LEWIS GEORGE. Although his Signifying Riffs (1998) for percussion and strings is halfway there, String Quartet 1.5: Experiments in Living (2016) is the first proper string quartet by composer George Lewis. Borrowing its title from the writings of John Stuart Mill, Experiments in Living leads the performers through a series of idiosyncratic episodes featuring extremes of gesture and extended te…

Prelude and Dance. Par HAKIM NAJI. The edition is the first part of the commissioned work Our Lady’s Minstrel. While Prelude paraphrases the famous chorale Salve Regina in a slow waltz, the gipsy-like cheerful waltz of Dance forms a stark contrast to it. The whole work is completed by Three Poems for soprano and organ (ED 22299). / Niveau : 3 / Répertoire / Clarinette et Piano
