from opus 170 - Edizione a cura di Luca Ciammarughi. Par CASTELNUOVO-TEDESCO MARIO. Mario Castelnuovo Tedesco composed 52 Greeting Cards for various instruments between 1953 and 1967, collectively catalogued as opus 170, which he developed in a non-systematic manner up to the year before his death. These pieces were conceived as gifts for his interpreters and students, whom the author meant to gra…

Scriabin's ten complete piano sonatas offer a fascinating insight into the Russian composer's stylistic development. While his first works still fully reflect the late-romantic tradition, the late works keep bursting the bounds of tonality. The boldly outlined, two-movement Fourth Sonata marks a turning point, for it evokes the world of the 'Poème de l'extase? with its mystical atmosphere hovering…

Par HAYDN JOHANN MICHAEL. The Christmas responsories belong to a particular tradition of choral settings of responsoria which had developed since the middle ot the 16th century. The entirely homophonic style of composition make the words easily understandable. The forward flow of the words - Haydn did not repeat words - is intensified and accentuated by harmonic means. In contrast to hias Holy Wee…

Par ANDERSON LEROY. Like most of Leroy Anderson\'s efforts, Belle of the Ball is light, effervescent, and devoid of conflict or disharmony. Anderson looked upon the piece as a modern-day American revival -- or revitalization -- of the Viennese waltz tradition. Having said that, the main theme sounds rather unlike a Strauss waltz, but the voice of Tchaikovsky is evident in its playful, fantasy-like…

Italian composer Franceso Paolo Tosti (1846-1916) wrote more than 350 songs, among which were favorites of famous singers, from Caruso and Tetrazzini in his day to Pavarotti and Carreras in ours.

The strumming of Spanish guitars, the lyrical tribute to a great Spanish composer, the passionate excitement of Iberian sensations, the breathtaking exuberance of Spanish rhythms, the reminiscence of Spanish culture-Spanish elements are infused in each of these five pieces. Rolled chords evoking a Spanish guitar, enhanced rhythms with alternating hands, and lyrical passion ar…

Among the glories of the Baroque era is a legacy of concertos for multiple soloists, in which two, three, or a complete ensemble interact with the orchestra. A product of that fine tradition, this work is rooted in earlier pieces that lend it a distinctive color and structure.

Par BRAHMS JOHANNES. Scored for mixed chorus, two solo voices and full orchestra, this masterpiece of choral music is Brahms’ greatest, most ambitious vocal work. It reflects his virtuosic grasp of 19th-century vocal technique as well as the polyphonic vocal traditions of the previous three centuries. One of the most performed and recorded works in the repertoire of religious music, A German Requi…

Par CURNOW PAUL. The musical heritage of the United States is rich with folk songs from across the country. We can understand a great deal about society, culture and traditions through these folk songs. The folk tune used in this work has had many lives, from early church singing to pub songs to a marching song. / Niveau : 1.5 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Par BULLA STEPHEN. CANZONE ANTICA translates as “ancient song”. The dark mystery of the Middle Ages, from plainsong and cowled robes to shrouded medieval architecture, permeates a misty atmosphere as your band roams the catacombs in this powerful composition. Steeped in ancient history and opening with a short basso ostinato, this is a unique and significant work. Stephen Bulla masterfully weaves …
