Jmsgu3 #3449751. Published by jmsgu3 (A0.549061). Gabriel Fauré: Sicilienne Op. 78. Nice recital encore piece. It is very moody with a light touch of impressionism and poignant mode mixture. This piece will add a surprising element to your concert and demonstrate the depth of your musical sensitivity.Significant Aspects of Faure's SicilienneGabriel Fauré's Sicilienne, Op. 78 is significant due to its history, influence, and musical characteristics.Historical SignificanceThe piece was initially composed in 1893 as part of incidental music for a theatrical production that was later abandoned. Fauré reused the Sicilienne in 1898 when he wrote incidental music for the English translation of Maeterlinck's play Pelléas et Mélisande. This piece was later extracted and formed into an orchestral suite for concerts, known as the Pelléas et Mélisande Suite, Op. 80.Influence and PopularityFauré's harmonic richness and melodic innovations in the Sicilienne exerted a powerful influence on other composers. The Sicilienne is the most famous piece from the Pelléas et Mélisande Suite and is frequently played by significant orchestras today.Musical CharacteristicsThe piece is known for its conversational style for both cello and piano, and it exhibits chromatic movement to evoke a Renaissance aesthetic with the Sicilienne dance. It is also more complex than the typical song in terms of chords and melody, with above-average scores in chord and melodic complexity. In conclusion, Faure's Sicilienne is significant due to its historical background, influence on other composers, and unique musical characteristics.Dance and FabricThe term Sicilienne is derived from the French word Sicilienne, which means Sicilian. It is associated with a dance called the Siciliana and a kind of rich poplin fabric. Musical Style Sicilienne refers to a musical style or genre often included as a movement within more significant pieces of music, starting in the Baroque period. It is associated with a pastoral mood and is often characterized by dotted rhythms that can distinguish it within the broader musical genre of the pastorale. 

String Quartet Cello,String Quartet,Viola,Violin - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1472110 Composed by Maria Theresia von Paradis. Arranged by Clara Obsidian. 19th Century,Classical,Folk. 8 pages. Clara Obsidian #1049809. Published by Clara Obsidian (A0.1472110). Sicilienne, originally written for Violin and Piano by female composer Maria Theresia von Paradis (1759 – 1824), is arguably one of her most renowned works. With its elegant melody and gently lilting chords - typical of the Sicilian dance form, that is passed around all 4 voices of the quartet, the arrangment will surely please the hearts.Interestingly, the attribution of this work to Paradis is uncertain, with many having noted of its similarities to Weber's Romanze from Violin Sonata Op.10, No.1.Arranged for String quartet of Intermediate - Late Intemediate LevelFull Score and Parts -----------------------------------------------

Published by Liam Morrissey (A0.1031806). Between gigs on winter terraces , walks on frozen streets , chamber music rehearsals , and the recognition of the good and the bad in man and machine , my quartet was born . It came at a time of reconciliation , of a dawning acceptance of the beauty , the necessity of exploration of advancing technology in music . Before then I had trouble with the synthetic nature of contemporary music ; it seemed to me a symbol of the degradation of the importance that we give to nature in society . However , as I listened more and more to electronic music , as I rehearsed Philip Glass with my friends , I came to accept that there is a coexistence as natural and wonderful as a cup of tea . Yes , it still worries me , the level to which we have come to depend on technological advantage , and I feel we have a long way to go before we reach equilibrium .In the meantime , I wrote this piece and prepared it with completely synthetic effects in the hope of reaching that balance , at least from an aesthetic perspective . It starts somewhat coldy , a siren , a train motor , a deep respiration and a sigh . It twists , it turns , and by the end humanity and its steel and plastic progeny are one .

Arranged by Stephen Levintow. 19th Century,Romantic Period. 49 pages. Cypress Publishing #1004747. Published by Cypress Publishing (A0.1423506). The music of pianist-composer Cécile Chaminade (1857-1944) was highly popular in her lifetime, but mostly neglected afterward. It is fortunately now being rediscovered. Her character pieces, of which she wrote many, display charm and wit, with elegant French romantic sensibility. This set of arrangements for string quartet includes includes selected works composed between 1887 and 1910. It begins with two excerpts from her ballet suite Callirhoë for piano, Pas des Amphores and Pas des écharpes (Scarf Dance), followed by Idylle, from a set of 6 Romances sans Paroles. The next piece, Chanson Russe (Russian Song), if it isn’t based on an actual folksong, is a clever imitation. The set concludes with the gently uplifting Romance in D major.
