Victoria Maesta-Muffat pupil of Lully and Corelli composed his concerto ?Victoria Maesta? (?Sad Victory?) in 1689 as organist and chamber musician in the court of the archbishop of Salzburg. The title refers to the taking of Belgrad during which the archbishop?s brother was killed in 1688; therefore the piece begins with a solemn funeral march in C minor in elaborate and artistic contrapuntal technique in the sense of Corelli?s adagio type.

Par MORELLO NICOLA. Modern concerto in a tonal style: 3 movements presented continuously. The Concerto Op.85 in B minor for tenor trombone, was composed for one of the 'Gambara” Musical Lycée, Edoardo Paletti. The first problem was to conceive a concert piece that could unify the usual three movements, but without being too long. So the composer decided to write a concerto in one movement, divided in three parts: the first (Allegro marziale), is a Sonata-form exposition, starting with a martial theme always in anacrusis, to which follows a second theme in jazz style. After a short coda, the second movement begins (Andante maestoso), a sort of funeral march, preparing the atmosphere for the first part recapitulation, with an intense and virtuosic Coda. / Niveau : Intermédiaire à Avancé / Répertoire / Trombone et Piano

Contents include: Anitra's Dance; The Cascades (A Rag); Song of India; The Marionette's Funeral March; America the Beautiful; Fandango.

This authoritative edition presents full-score reproductions of three of Liszt?s best-known symphonic poems. Les Preludes (Symphonic Poem No.3) grew out of the composer?s unpublished choral setting of Joseph Autran?s poem ?The Four Elements?, blending stirring martial music and lovely pastoral themes to make this work the most popular of the symphonic poems. Mazeppa (Symphonic Poem No.6) evokes Victor Hugo?s portrayal of the Cossack leader and the symbolic triumph that comes only after defeat: ?He runs, he flies, he falls, and he stands up king!? Heroide Funebre (Symphonic Poem No.8) is the last vestige of the monumental Revolutionary Symphony, planned but never completed, suggesting universal brotherhood: a fine, heroic, dignified funeral march. In these richly sonorous works, Liszt explored the concept of the one-movement ?transformation of themes,? an approach to composition that Wagner would carry forward in his development of the leitmotif. Liszt?s expanding chromaticism would be no less influential, anticipating the twentieth century?s embrace of atonality. Frequently performed favourites of audiences around the world, these three works are reprinted from the original Breitkopf & Härtel edition.

In the summer of 1913 Satie once more poked fun at himself and the world of music with a set of parodic piano pieces on various marine animals, giving it the grotesque title 'Embryons desséchés? (Dessicated Embryos)(BA 10811). The atmospheric cycle 'Avant-dernières Pensées? (Next-to-last Thoughts) (BA 10849) of 1915, with its underlaid words, likewise belongs to Satie's 'story pieces'. The notation without barlines, the 'stories' beneath the music and the spoofsof well-known pieces of music, most strikingly the Funeral March from Chopin's Piano Sonata in B minor, make the work a barrel of musical fun. The curious performance instructions in these three miniatures, all based on ostinato figures, amusingly lampoon the ideal of Romantic expressiveness. These two Urtext editions faithfully adhere to the sources and reflect the latest findings of Satie scholarship. They contain translations of all of Satie's French texts, practical page-turns, notes on performance practice by Satie specialist Steffen Schleiermacher and informative Forewords. The pieces range from an easy to moderate level of difficulty and provide an ideal additional varied repertoire for teaching purposes. / Piano

Par MATTHEWS COLIN. The title Cortege does not imply a funeral march, but rather a measured processional in which the colours are predominantly sombre and the mood dark and often menacing. One of the most important elements of the work is the sequence of minor triads heard at the outset and dominating the latter part of the work: these do not have a conventional harmonic function, but are a background which is suddenly thrown into stark relief to become the foreground./ Répertoire / Conducteur
