Arie der Elisabeth WWV 70

Par SACHSEN-MEININGEN VON MARIE ELISABETH. Voici une très jolie Romance de la Princesse Marie-Elisabeth von Sachsen-Meiningen (1853-1923). Pianiste douée, elle est également compositrice et c'est en 1892 qu'elle écrit cette Romance en Fa Majeur qui sera interprétée par Richard Mühlfeld le dédicataire des oeuvres pour clarinette de Brahms. Cette pièce est une belle approche de la musique romantique. - Renaud ESCRIVA / Niveau : Avancé / Répertoire / Clarinette et Piano

Arrangements of familiar pieces for two flutes were very popular in the romantic era. This enabled works which were current at that time to be played in salons and at home. Folk songs, opera arias, piano and concert pieces were arranged by such figures as Giuseppe Gariboldi, Kaspar Kummer and Ernesto Köhler. Elisabeth Weinzierl and Edmund Wächter have selected and arranged the most beautiful and best-known pieces for this edition making these melodies accessible even to the less experienced musician. / 2 Flûtes Traversières

Par HINDEMITH PAUL. These canons now published for the first time document Hindemith's fondness of composing little parodistic works with a wink on certain occasions. More than 30 artistic postcard-sized works were written by the composer. In strict counterpoint, he used them to convey season's greetings, congratulations on birthdays and anniversaries, and thanks to friends, colleagues and cultural institutions. Some of these witty and entertaining pieces have been released on recordings several times, but they have not been available in printed editions yet. Our first edition now enables every choir and every small singing group to find a canon of the appropriate level of difficulty and perform it on many occasions with great success with the audience./ Répertoire / Choeur a Cappella

Par MACONCHY ELIZABETH. Two Carols by Elizabeth Maconchy comprises two songs for unaccompanied upper voices: I sing of a maiden and This day, both originally conceived in 1966, with words from fifteenth-century texts. While contrasting in character, both embody a richly expressive harmony, with opportunity in each for the upper soprano part to be sung solo (or by a small group of voices, if preferred). Equally, the composer notes that I sing of a maiden’s tenor part may be sung solo; the tenor line here is also suitable for alto voice, making both carols accessible to SSA ensembles. The Choral Signature Series introduces a wealth of new or recently written choral music to choirs in search of fresh repertoire. The series draws in a rich diversity of contemporary composers and includes both lighter and more challenging works, offering a thrilling array of varied styles. / Choral Music / Répertoire / Voix Hautes

A Graded Anthology for Piano.

For each piece, the editor has written short instructions with rehearsal tips as well as biographical notes on the women composers.

'Five Sketches' was commissioned by Nicholas Logie and first performed by him on 31 May 1984 at the Wigmore Hall.Quoting Maconchy: I have always had a particular affection for the viola with its darktone-colour and its unlimited expressive range.I have tried in these pieces to explore that range and to make them well varied in rhythm and content.The note E which the work begins and endsserves as a sort of “point d’appui” all through.'

20 Romanzen. Par TCHAIKOVSKI PIOTR ILITCH. Continuing our tradition of publishing Russian music, we are proud to present two invaluable volumes of Tchaikovsky's songs. These have been specially compiled by the distinguished piano accompanist Roger Vignoles, who has created new and idiomatic English singing translations to help both performers and students. These can be used for performance, or as a means to understanding the Russian poetry. Original Cyrillic texts are included to help non-Russian speakers wishing to perform the songs in the original language, transliterations are provided in an Appendix. Each volume contains twenty songs - two superb selections, showing many varied facets of Tchaikovsky's writing - fromsorrow to happiness, love and comedy. Singers and pianists are sure to welcome these volumes, which will open the world of the Russian Romance to many non-Russian musicians. Roger Vignoles is one of the best-known of today's piano accompanists, partner to an impressive list of international singes, including: Elisabeth Soederstroem, Dame Kiri te Kanawa, Thomas Allen, Thomas Hampson, Sarah Walker, Brigitte Fassbaender, Elena Obraztosova, Kathleen Battle, Sylvia McNair and many others. An accomplished linguist and coach, he has given masterclasses for singers and their accompanists in Europe, Scandinavia, Canada, the USA, Australia and the Far East. Tchaikovsky's songs are part of a ricj musical and social tradition; the Russian Romance. They are exhilarating to perform and have a speical way of expressing the emotional essence of a poem. This collection of 20 Romances is scored for Medium/Low Voice and Piano accompaniment. The text is printed in both Russian and English. / Répertoire d'Examen / Répertoire / Voix Moyenne ou Basse et Piano

Even for Ralph Vaughan Williams the prospect of two world premieres within 24 hours must have been something of a rarity. Such was the case however on the first two days of June 1953, when his now classic arrangement of The Old Hundredth Psalm was sung at the Coronation of Elizabeth II in Westminster Abbey, being preceded the evening before by the premiere of 'Silence and Music', fourth of ten partsongs of A Garland for the Queen, commissioned from leading British composers by the Arts Council of Great Britain to honour the new monarch. Long unavailable except as separate items from individual publishers, this historic collectionis now reissued complete by Stainer & Bell in its original single-volume format, allowing conductors and singers to choose from a rich collection of choral music with which to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and, in 2013, the 60th anniversary of the Coronation itself. In addition to VW's contribution, A Garland for the Queen includes important settings by Bax, Berkeley, Bliss, Finzi, Howells, Ireland, Rawsthorne, Rubbra and Tippett. The collection moreover draws on the work of poets whose names likewise feature prominently in the annals of mid-century British literary talent: Clifford Bax, Edmund Blunden, Paul Dehn, Christopher Fry, Christopher Hassall, James Kirkup, Louis MacNeice, Walter de la Mare, Henry Reed and Ursula Wood. Intended as a counterpart to The Triumphs of Oriana of 1601, the celebrated madrigal volume published in praise of Elizabeth I by Thomas Morley, A Garland for the Queen emulates its distinguished predecessor in its variety of moods and vocal combinations. There is material here to fit every aspect of celebration, from the airy five-part ensemble of Bax's 'What is it like to be young and fair?', and the soprano solo with SATB of Rawsthorne's Canzonet, to the lustrous contrasting of male and female timbres in Bliss's Aubade, and the rapturous eight-part setting of/ Recueil / Voix Mixtes

Love me sweet was composed for the occasion of the composer's wedding in July 2010. The text consists of four verses taken from Elizabeth Barrett Browning's ironic poem A Man's Requirements which ends with the couplet, 'I will love thee - half a year - As a man is able.' This setting responds to the purer sentiments of the earlier verses, employing a lilting metre, a harmonic idiom and a piquant sprinkling of dissonance. An inspiring selection of new works from a range of contemporary composers, the Novello New Choral Series offers pieces for all types of choirs, including sacred and secular works from simple, four-part settings to more expansive, yet accessible, repertoire in an exciting variety of styles. Tom Wiggall is a London-based composer writing mainly for voice, stage and screen. In recent years Tom's work has taken in large-scale community opera projects, numerous anthems and songs, and music for film and television including Melvyn Bragg's ITV1 series Faith in the Frame and Channel 4's The Art Show. Tom is also Director of Music at Highgate School. / Choeur SATB
