Par BURNETTE SONNY. A Place Far Away opens with a timeless and ethereal mood which gives way to a more stately opening theme. Chromatic shifts in harmony and interplay between the flute and the piano make this piece a delight for both performers and audience members./ Répertoire / Flûte Traversière et Piano

Par ZAREBSKI JULISZ. Juliusz Zarebski (1854–1885) composed two concert mazurkas – Op. 8 and op. 15 – between 1880 and 1882. The adjective 'concert' (Mazurka de concert) accurately reflects their character and the creator's idea. These pieces take the form of loosely connected links, and in addition to the features typical of a mazurka, the virtuoso element comes to the fore. Against the background…

Par ANDREW BEN (Arr.). Hatikvah (The Hope) is a 19th-century Jewish poem and modern-day national anthem of Israel. In this romantic-style arrangement, Ben Andrew shares the melody between both the violin and piano. Through the use of subtle dissonance and a rich harmonic texture, the music conveys a sense of struggle, despair and sadness, as well as the eternal hope expressed in the original poem …

Par FARKAS FERENC. “I wrote this Christmas cantata from Köröshegy at the request of the Council of the Komitat Somogy. When I visited the still unrenovated little church at Köröshegy about ten years ago I had no idea that this beautiful Gothic building would one day be the scene of the world première of one of my works. - The cantata is founded on four pillars: four organ soli which could be descr…

Par CURNOW JAMES. Perfect for a combined Choral/Band concert as an opener, closer or anywhere in between. This medley of familiar tunes is tied together by the recurring concept that MUSIC SHALL LIVE. A swingin' WADE IN THE WATER, a soulful NOBODY KNOWS THE TROUBLE I'VE SEEN, and an inspiring BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC make it a crowd pleaser. The unison choral part makes sure the chorus can come…

Par MANTOVANI BRUNO. This piece is indeed a tone poem with allusions to Strauss (the orchestral composition Ein Heldenleben), and the theme found in Chamisso's book: Peter Schlemihl's Miraculous Story. The narration is not linear, but rather, metaphorical (in this sense, the model leans more towards Hamlet by Franz Liszt). In fact, the discourse vacillates between luxuriance (symbolising the infin…

Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. All of Bach ’s six authenticated motets were written between 1723 and 1727 for St Thomas’ Church, Leipzig, where Bach was appointed as director of music in 1723. During this period, Bach composed most of his cantatas, and it seems likely that for ordinary Sunday services he used existing motets from the seventeenth century tradition, reserving his own motet compositions …
