Gouvy was known for writing some of the most beautiful melodies of the Romantic period. His style is a combination of German forms and an early French romantic harmonic structure. His writing for the piano in the songs is totally unified in mood and description with the voice, just as the piano is in Schubert’s songs. The equal partnership of the vocal line and piano interact closely to bring the poetry vividly into life with unimaginable artistic heights and unbridled passion.
This volume includes Gouvy songs set to 18 poems of Philippe Desportes (1546–1606), and 18 poems of Moritz Hartmann (1821–1872). The elements of Romantic love poetry, such as enchanting love and its pain, and the personifying of nature, are fluently described with a great sensitivity in both voice and piano. Gouvy’s melody stir up the imagination because of his special treatment of words through a distinguishable and melodious vocal line, and his story telling and poetic treatment and development of the piano accompaniment. His compositional artistry places him in the upper echelons of art-song composers. One should note that Gouvy had a special fondness for the 16th Century poetry of La Pléiade (a group of Renaissance French poets, led by Pièrre de Ronsard (1524–1585). Desportes was truly the heir to Ronsard; however his work, when compared to that of Ronsard, is filled with greater abstraction and greater fluidity. Desportes seems to avoid any of the passionate anger that is occasionally characteristic of La Pléiade. This may be an indication that Desportes lived in a less distressed time. It also seems necessary to point out that he learned much in his early career by copying and studying the earlier works of La Pléiade. This has led some scholars to label him as a plagiarist, but it is important to realize that all the members of La Pléiade copied from each other when they wished to learn something new, and truly understand the style of the other poets in the group.
Gouvy’s only choice of poems from his contemporaries, were the works of Moritz Hartmann (1821–1872), a good friend of Gouvy’s. Much of his poetry was strongly political in support of freedom of the individual. He traveled to Leipzig in 1845, but when the authorities discovered a volume of patriotic poems entitled Kelch und Schwert (Chalice and Sword), he fled to Belgium and France. It is at this time that he possibly met Théodore Gouvy. Eighteen poems of Hartmann were translated from German to French by the French poet, Adolph Larmande, of whom very little is known.
Pierre Toussaint Adolphe Larmande seems to have been a rather obscure poet and musician. We know that he taught music theory at the Paris Conservatory at the same time Anton Reicha and Michele Carafa were on the faculty. We also know that in 1847 he married an English woman by the name of Marie Caroline Bradley. There are random documents, such as a Certificate of Arrival in London, England, in 1837, but there are no birth and death dates given, and that includes his obituary notice.

About the music

Both pieces of this diptych are miniatures with a structure quite similar to each of the pieces of the Album für die Jugend Opus 68 by Robert Schumann. The melodies are strongly rooted in Japanese music (particularly obvious in the second piece).

Aesthetically, this is neoclassical music (a quite broad concept nowadays). Fans of Erik Satie, Ludovico Einaudi or Joep Beving will possibly feel at home.

Both pieces were composed on 6 June 2020 (the first one with my daughter Laura sleeping on my breast). Find this music soon on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube or any other streaming platform (either under my name or performed by other pianists, possibly Iannis Eralos). Total duration: ca. 5:15.

About the titles

In a poem by the German Romantic poet Ludwig Jacobowski titled Leuchtende Tage (Radiant Days) and published in August 1899, he writes:

Nicht weinen, weil sie vorüber!

Lächeln, weil sie gewesen!

Literally:

Don't cry because they are over (they: the radiant days)

Smile because they happened.

Usually it is quoted this way:

Don't cry because it’s over

Smile because it happened.

 

For my piece, I adapted this idea und -not quite humbly- think that is better now:

 

Do weep because it’s over

But also smile because it happened

 

Why is it better now? Because… where is the issue with weeping? The first step is to accept that pain exists. Nobody has the moral authority to deny you the possibility of crying. Weeping is not a shame or a disgrace. Besides, only he who weeps is credible when he laughs.

 

By the way, these words are sometimes attributed to Confucius. I leave to you the task of determining whether Jacobowski borrowed this thought from him.

Audiences all LOVE the Dukas Fanfare from La Peri. It’s the quintessential program opener, though brass quintet reductions of the original score are often brutal for the trumpets. Our arrangement brings all the thrill of the original Dukas brass choir, but without the pain! We have taken away unison material and distributed the load more evenly, with the end result of musicians who have more power to give at the end! An added bonus is that the trombone doesn’t require tenor clef for this version, so any students or amateur trombone players who are uncomfortable with tenor clef don’t need to sweat at all.

This version of the song is for backing a soloist or group. This song was written to honour our front-line workers during these incredibly stressful pandemic times. It was inspired while thinking of two family members who are working in downtown hospital emergency rooms during this pandemic. This song might be used in worship services honouring our front-line workers or on subjects such as pastoral care during the pandemic, vocation or calling. THIS ANGEL Words and music by David Kai ©2021 Last night I thought I had the strangest dream An angel standing, watching over me No halo on her head, no gown of white No wings upon her back to give her flight I couldn’t see her face ‘cept for her eyes She smiled through them, and then I realized Just where I was and how it came to be This angel’s all dressed up in PPE If I could only speak I’d gladly give my thanks aloud If I could only breathe I’d tell you clearly just how proud I am of all of you who put yourselves into harm’s way And help to pull me through another day Dear angel, tell my family out there I love them very much, and I still care I’m sorry if I’ve caused them any pain God willing, I will see them all again Dear angel, say a prayer for this old soul That I might have some peace if I’m to go If I don’t make it through, tell them for me My angel all dressed up in PPE If I could only speak I’d gladly give my thanks aloud If I could only breathe I’d tell you clearly just how proud I am of all of you who put yourselves into harm’s way And help to pull me through another day Last night I thought I had the strangest dream This angel standing, watching over me.

[ENG]

Camiña Don Sancho is a so-called border romancillo, from Galicia (Spain), popularized in the 14th century through minstrels, and which constitute poetic documents of the history and intrahistory of two opposing communities (Christian and Muslim). It talks about more or less true facts and famous historical figures belonging to the common history of León and Galicia (former independent kingdoms, currently Spanish autonomous communities).

In it, once again, the figure of King Don Sancho appears linked to the myth of the young captive in the Iberian peninsular Muslim territory, and whom he is preparing to liberate. The original melody is built in the Phrygian mode, one of the medieval musical modes, on which this polyphonic version is also made, finally taking it to the point of the so-called gypsy and Arabic scales; hence its title: Frixia (in Galician languaje)

[ESP]

Camiña Don Sancho es un romancillo de los llamados fronterizos, popularizados en el S. XIV a través de los juglares, y que constituyen documentos poéticos de la historia e intrahistoria de dos comunidades enfrentadas (la cristiana y la musulmana). Habla de hechos más o menos verídicos y de personajes pertenecientes a la historia común de León y Galicia.

En él, una vez más, aparece la figura del Rey Don Sancho ligada al mito de la joven cautiva en el territorio musulmán peninsular, y a quien él se dispone a liberar.

La melodía original está construida en modo frigio, uno de los modos musicales medievales, sobre el que está realizada también esta versión polifónica, llevándola finalmente al punto de las llamadas escalas gitana y arábiga; de ahí su título.

Who would have thought you could play classical music on a ukulele? But you can! Here are compositions from the 19th Century – the Romantic Era – transcribed for the Low G ukulele. Julián Arcas (1832-1882) was a Spanish classical guitarist and composer. He was born in Almería and died in Antequera, Spain. Arcas performed all over Europe from 1860 through 1880 where a young Francisco Tárrega listened to him in 1862 in Castellón and played for him after the performance. Arcas then invited Tárrega to study with him in Barcelona. Arcas wrote fifty-two original works and transcribed thirty pieces for the guitar, including waltzes, variations, preludes, and dances. Through the work of the guitar maker Antonio de Torres, Arcas influenced the development of the classical guitar, particularly concerning the design of the soundboard. These pieces are somewhat more complex and are for intermediate to advanced players. Have fun!

Divertimento was born from the proposal that at the end of 2007 makes me the Terpsícore Guitar Quartet, from Huesca (Spain) to compose a work for this group.

The title comes from the very conception of the work: a series of short pieces as a free-form suite. In this work musicality is present in the foreground from beginning to end, overlaying itself in the presence of the important technique required of performers. In Divertimento the wide expressive range of the guitar is exploited, in this case amplified by the generous acoustic possibilities that the quartet makes available to the composer.

The six movements that consist begin with Toccata, which recalls the baroque namesake pieces with their fast scales that run over until they reach a strum climax. It is followed by Serenata, a piece of great expressiveness as a song. Behind it, Intermezzo takes place in a context of Impressionist sonorities. Scherzo-vals, as the name suggests, is a waltz written in a humorous tone that precedes Night, in which the insistent harmonic chords create a dreamlike and somewhat disturbing atmosphere. The fast-paced final Dance evokes with its irregular rhythm the folklore of other lands.

It is dedicated to Terpsícore Quartet.

Divertimento nace de la propuesta que a finales del año 2007 me hace el Cuarteto de guitarras Terpsícore, de Huesca (España) para componer una obra para este grupo.

El título viene de la propia concepción de la obra: una serie de piezas breves a modo de suite con forma libre. En esta obra la musicalidad está presente en primer plano de principio a fin sobreponiéndose en presencia a la importante técnica exigida a los intérprete. En Divertimento se explota la amplia gama expresiva de la guitarra, en este caso amplificada por las generosas posibilidades acústicas que el cuarteto pone a disposición del compositor.

Los seis movimiento de que consta comienzan con Toccata, que rememora las piezas homónimas barrocas con sus veloces escalas que se van atropellando hasta alcanzar un clímax rasgueado. Le sigue Serenata, pieza de una gran expresividad a modo de canción. Tras ésta, Intermezzo se desarrolla en un contexto de sonoridades impresionistas. Scherzo-vals, como su nombre indica, es un vals escrito en tono humorístico que precede a Nocturno, en el que los insistentes acordes en armónicos crean una atmósfera onírica y un tanto inquietante. La trepidante Danza final evoca con su ritmo irregular el folclore de otras tierras.

Está dedicada al Cuarteto Terpsícore.

By Paul Cardall. By Paul Cardall. Classical,New Age,Spiritual. Score. 5 pages. Published by All Heart Publishing, LLC (A0.506201).

September Winds is the debut single from December by Dove Award Winning pianist Paul Cardall. The album takes listeners on a journey from the rise of a new moon in September through the the New Year. Paul said, These introspective, tender, piano compositions have a minimal style of music reflecting the growing pains of a beautifully complex world. I'm alive because beating in my chest is the heart of of deceased man, thanks to organ donation. I understand that life is filled with irony, misconceptions, confusion, and yet darkness can't exist in the light. Our mortality is also filled with so much beauty, joy, serendipitous relationships. I want to capture all of these emotions in my music and hope it may will comfort and offer hope to listeners. Cardall's compositions have evolved in the two decades he's been recording piano music. His style and technique have evolved into a modern Classical style. He gives you a very strong grounding in his piano skills. Each composition has a concise structure, simple compositional techniques, manageable technical requirements and basic harmonies. Pieces are thought-provoking melodies, subtle and feature simple powerful string accompaniments. In addition, Cardall employs a minimalist approach that includes repetitive patterns or pulses, steady drones, consonant harmony, and reiteration of musical phrases or smaller units.
