“Mélodiste né, Reynaldo Hahn (1875-1947) était doté d?une voix claire et émouvante qui faisait merveille dans les salons parisiens, comme le rappelle Proust : « (...) la tête légèrement renversée en arrière, la bouche mélancolique, un peu dédaigneuse, laissant s?échapper le flot rythmé de la voix la plus belle, la plus triste et la plus chaude qui ne fut jamais, cet â€â€œinstrument de musique de génieâ€â€œ qui s'appelle Reynaldo Hahn étreint tous les c?urs, mouille tous les yeux, dans le frisson d?admiration qu?il propage au loin et qui nous fait trembler, nous courbe tous l?un après l?autre, dans une silencieuse et solennelle ondulation des blés sous le vent ». Paru chez Heugel le 26 janvier 1896, ce premier volume des Mélodies, qui connut un immense succès, réunit vingt mélodies composées par Reynaldo Hahn et éditées en séparé entre 1891 et 1895 : Rêverie - Si mes Vers avaient des Ailes ! - Mai - Paysage - L'Énamourée - Seule - La Nuit - Offrande - Trois jours de Vendange - Infidélité - Fêtes galantes - Cimetière de campagne - Fleur fanée - L?Incrédule - Les Cygnes - D'une prison - Dernier v?u - Séraphine - Nocturne - À Phidylé.â€.

Having been considered as a 'fashionable' and 'cliché' composer of his day, Hahn's compositions are possibly not as well-known as they ought to be. Rondels for SATB choir and Piano however, shatter these prejudices held,representing the engaging diversity of the composer's music. Venezuelan born Reynaldo Hahn (1875-1947) entered the Paris Conservatoire at 10 years old. He received a high standard of musical education from Decombes, Lavignac,Dubois and Massenet before becoming a prolific and versatile composer himself, writing works for all genres. For Hahn, music was a magical art and his compositions often contain expressions of his otherwise hidden emotions andmoods. Rondels is made up of twelve movements, depicting different aspects of nature. Hahn's Rondels contains a variety of different features, making for a pleasant and evocative work for advanced choirs.

Bach composed the cantata Stay with us, for it draws on toward evening BWV 6 for Easter Monday 1725. In fact, it is certain that a chorale cantata had been planned for that feast day, but for some unknown reason, the annual cycle of chorale cantatas broke off just before Easter 1725. For BWV 6, Bach fell back on a text by an author whose texts he had already set numerous times in his first Leipzig annual cycle of cantatas (which are conspicuous by their ever constant structure and use of two chorale settings). From the gospel for Easter Monday, the story of the Emmaus disciples, only the disappearing daylight and the fear of being left alone are made the subject of discussion. A truly magnificent choral movement opens the cantata. The first chorale for soprano and violoncello piccolo, which Bach later included in his Schubler-Chorale, is also well-known outside of the cantata.

Bach composed the cantata O God, from heaven look on us BWV 2 for the 2nd Trinity Sunday 1724 as the second cantata of the annual cycle of chorale cantatas. It is based on Martin Luther's rewriting of Psalm 112. The opening movement is one of a group of cantata opening movements which are not concertante but kept entirely in the motet style, with the instruments serving only to reinforce the singers. The archaic character of this movement is heightened by the addition of a trombone quartet. The concertante style is all the more significant in the first aria for contralto, solo violin and continuo. The first secco recitative represents a special feature: two fragments of the chorale are woven as arioso into the recitative, both in text and melody; futhermore, they are also taken up canonically by the continuo.

For the 2nd Epiphany Sunday 1725, Bach composed the cantata O God, what glut of care and pain. It forms part of the annual cycle of chorale cantatas. In the large-scale opening movement, a choral setting full of anguish with expansive orchestral sections, the bass presents the cantus firmus in segments, reinforced by one trombone. This is followed directly by the second chorale verse in a four-part setting in which, however, each chorale line is interrupted by a short recitative (each one sung by a different voice). The bass, who closes the recitative, also sings the following continuo aria which is rich in melismatic passages. The second aria is a duet expanded into a quartet setting by the addition of oboes d'amore and continuo; it leads into the closing chorale containing a wealth of transitions. Score and part available separately - see item CA.3100300.
