Preface:

In the early 1890s, Debussy composed the opening of a lyrical piece in E major for violin and piano, perhaps as a shorter companion piece for the violin Nocturne he was planning for the Belgian violinist EugÃ¨ne YsaÃ¿e. After Debussyâ€™s death in 1918, his second wife Emma often gave away sketch pages to performers or composers as memorials to her beloved husband , and this particular page was given to the Cuban born pianist and composer Joaquin Nin (1879-1949). It came up for sale in the catalogue of the British antiquarian dealer Lisa Cox in 2010 and although it might possibly be an early song for contralto and piano, the more dynamic idea in bar 12 strongly suggests the violin, especially as it begins on an open D string. Moreover, there is no text and in pieces of this length, Debussy usually wrote at least one word in, if only to remind himself where he had got to in any song.

So my starting point was a complete 12-bar melody gently undulating in the violinâ€™s lowest register over a sensual accompaniment, rising to a climax in bar 12 and giving me a contrasting idea that I could use as a link between sections and in the cadenza. As the B section (bars 14-26) derives directly from Debussyâ€™s opening theme by metamorphosis, my own additions were restricted to the central section (bars 27-57) - comprising a new scherzando idea (C) and the more lyrical D (bars 36-46). C returns at bar 47, followed by the opening sections in reverse order, so that the SÃ©rÃ©nade begins and ends with Debussyâ€™s material and is cast in arch form (ABCDCBA).

Brighton, 19 June 2019

Robert Orledge was born in Bath in 1948 and educated at Clare College, Cambridge, where he gained his doctorate for his study of the composer Charles KÅ“chlin in 1973. Between 1971 and 1991 He rose from Lecturer to Professor in the Music Department of the University of Liverpool, publishing books on Gabriel FaurÃ©, Claude Debussy, Charles KÅ“chlin and Erik Satie, as well as numerous articles, editions and reviews. As a historical musicologist, Professor Orledge specialized in the way composers composed, ,and since taking early retirement in 2004, he has concentrated on completing and orchestrating Debussyâ€™s unfinished works, and especially his theatre projects. His completion of Debussyâ€™s opera The Fall of the House of Usher (1908-17) was successfully premiered at the Bregenz Opera Festival in Austria in August 2006 and has since been performed in America, Portugal Germany and Holland, as well as being broadcast throughout Europe. A DVD of the Bregenz premier is available on Capriccio 93517, produced by Phylida Lloyd and conducted by Lawrence Foster. His completion of the Chinese ballet No-ja-li ou Le Palais du Silence (1914) was also premiered in 2006 in Los Angeles and other completions include La Saulaie and the Nocturne and PoÃ¨me for violin and orchestra as well as Debussyâ€™s other Poe opera Le Diable dans le Beffroi.

PrÃ©face en franÃ§ais :

Au debut des annÃ©es 1890, Debussy a composÃ© le debut dâ€™une piÃ¨ce lyrique en Mi majeur pour violon et piano, peut-Ãªtre pour accompagner la Nocturne pour violon que Debussy a destinÃ©e pour le violoniste belge EugÃ¨ne YsaÃ¿e. AprÃ¨s la morte de Debussy en 1918, sa deuxiÃ¨me femme Emma avait lâ€™habitude dâ€™offrir ses pages dâ€™esquisses aux intÃ©rpÃ¨tes et compositeurs en souvenir de son regretÃ© mari. Cette page dâ€™esquisse a Ã©tÃ© offerte aux compositeur et pianiste cubain Joaquin Nin (1879-1949). Cette page a Ã©tÃ© mise en vente dans la catalogue de lâ€™antiquaire britannique Lisa Cox en 2010 et malgrÃ© que cette esquisse est peut-Ãªtre le dÃ©but dâ€˜une mÃ©lodie pour contralto et piano, lâ€˜idÃ©e dynamique dans la douziÃ¨me mesure suggÃ¨re la violon, surtout quâ€˜elle commence sur la.

Ave Maria

Ave MariaÂ is a Catholic prayer that consequently asks for the mother of Jesus (Mary) to intercede. Charles Gounod composed a famous version of theÂ Ave Maria. He was a French Romantic composer who overlaid a new melody on an existing Bach chord progression. The progression is from Bachâ€™s Prelude No. 1 from Well-Tempered Clavier I. This version, as well as Schubertâ€™s version, have become essential items at weddings, masses, and funerals.

Bach Overview

First of all, Johann SebastianÂ Bach is maybe the greatest composer in music history. Certainly, he was prolific. As a result, everyone has heard of his works. Furthermore, these works number well over a thousand. It seems like people are probably most familiar with instrumental works such as the Brandenburg Concertos, and the Goldberg Variations. But, similarly famous are such noteworthy works as the Well-Tempered Clavier, the Musical Offering, and the Art of Fugue. Seems like his most famous vocal works include the most noteworthy Mass in B Minor. Also, most noteworthy, though, are the St. John Passion, and certainly the Christmas Oratorio.

Â History

BachÂ came from a long line of musicians and above all, composers. Consequently, he, first of all, pursued a career as a church organist. So as a result, he gained employment in various Protestant churches in Germany. For a while, he worked as a court musician in Weimar and KÃ¶then. Here he probably developed his organ style and likewise his chamber music style. Eventually, he, therefore, gained an appointment as Cantor of St. Thomas in Leipzig. Here he worked until difficulties with his employer ultimately drove him away. The King of Poland finally appointed him as a court composer.

Â Style

It seems likeÂ Bach created an engaging new international style. He synthesized elements of the most noteworthy European music ideas into his new style. Even more, this new style was probably his synthesis of European musical rhythm and form. Furthermore, he demonstrated a complete mastery of counterpoint and motivic development. His sense of harmonic organization probably propelled him to the top.

Revival Â Â Â Â Â Â Â

Mendelssohn conducted aÂ BachÂ revival in the nineteenth century. His effort probably helped to re-familiarize the public with the magnitude of Bachâ€™s works. During this period, scholars published many noteworthyÂ BachÂ biographies. Moreover, Wolfgang Schmieder published the BWV (Bach Werke Verzeichnis). As a result, this is now the official catalog of his entire artistic output. The BWV number allows us to locate a work in the catalog. Sometimes scholars will simply use an S (Schmieder) as an abbreviation for BWV.
