For the magnificent opening of the oratorio season at the beginning of 1736 Handel presented a composition which, like hardly any of his other oratorios, gave him the opportunity to display his musical artistry: John Dryden's ode Alexander's Feast or the Power of Music, published in 1696, demonstrates the power of music by the example of the ancient hero, Alexander the Great. From the impressive lament on the death of Darius, the King of Persia, to the boisterous Praise of Bacchus Handel avails himself of the entire breadth of the musical representation of the emotions and the possibilities for expression. In the text by Newburg Hamilton added at the end of work St. Cecilia elevates the events of the ancient heathen story, which Handel expressed in plastic, skillful polyphony. Later, this homage to the patron saint of church music, Handel also present the opportunity to perform the work on St. Cecilia's Day (22 November). For the first time the present new edition is based consistently on Handel's conducting score, which he used for his own performances of the oratorio, thus not only eliminating timeworn errors, but also offering clarity concerning the choruses, the arias and recitatives, actually performed in Handel's concerts, as well as their sequence of performance. The new Carus edition offers two performance versions: the version of the premiere in 1736, as well as a revised version from 1751. Furthermore, the inclusion of the Concerto for Harp HWV 294 (CV 55.294) is also possible; Handel composed this work especially for Alexander's Feast (as an illustration of Timotheus, the ancient poet who played the lyre). For this purpose the edition contains the appropriate alternatives for the sequence of the movements. Score and part available separately - see item CA.5507500.

The Butterfly that Stamped is a story from the anthology Just So Stories, written by Rudyard Kipling for his daughter who suffered constant bad health. The book inspired composer Maxim Aulio to compose this work which is in a French impressionistic style. The piece opens with a beautiful palace surrounded by the impressive gardens of King Solomon. It is in these gardens that the baritone saxophone makes its appearance representing King Solomon himself, the flute representing the butterfly couple, the clarinet representing Queen Balkis and the trumpet the djin.

The Butterfly that Stamped - Der Schmetterling, der aufstampfte“ - ist eine von zwölf Erzählungen aus dem Band Just So Stories, den Rudyard Kipling, der berühmte Autor des Dschungelbuchs, Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts für seine kranke Tochter schrieb. Der französische Komponist Maxime Aulio ließ sich von dieser bezaubernden Geschichte zu einer Komposition im Stil des französischen Impressionismus inspirieren. Vor der wundervoll orchestrierten musikalischen Kulisse des Palastes und der Gärten König Salomons treten das Baritonsaxophon als König Salomon, die Flöten als Schmetterlingspärchen, eine Klarinette als Königin Balkis und die Trompeten als Dschinnsauf. Vorhang auf!

Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) est l’un des plus célèbres écrivains de langue anglaise. Né Bombay en Inde, ce journaliste, poète et romancier reçoit le prix Nobel de littérature en 1907. On lui doit notamment les célèbres ouvrages Le Livre de la Jungle (1894), Histoires comme ça (1902) et Kim (1901), entre autres. Rudyard Kipling a sillonné le monde, glanant de-ci de-l des mots et des merveilles raconter aux petits et aux grands. Aujourd’hui encore ses Histoires comme ça enchantent par leur drôlerie et leur poésie ; de délicieux récits d’animaux entre l’Inde et l’Afrique initialement écrits pour sa fille, Joséphine, qui mourut en 1899 des suites d’unegrippe.Le Papillon qui tapait du pied est un des douze contes du recueil Histoires comme ça. Maxime Aulio s’en est inspiré pour créer une œuvre qui s’inscrit dans la tradition de l’impressionnisme musical français. Le saxophone baryton solo incarne le Roi Salomon, fils de David ; les fl tes jouent le couple de papillons ; une clarinette est la Reine Balkis - la Sage Balkis de Saba - tandis que les trompettes et les cornets représentent les Djinns. Les personnages évoluent dans un décor orchestral merveilleux l’image des jardins et du palais du Roi Salomon. / The Butterfly That Stamped (Le Papillon qui tapait du pied) est une œuvre de commande pour la Fédération Musicale d’Auvergne (France) avec le soutien du Conseil Régional d’Auvergne, l’occasion du 10e anniversaire de l’Orchestre Régional d’Harmonie École. L’œuvre a été donnée en création le 30 avril 2006 au Thé tre Municipal d’Aurillac. L’Orchestre Régional d’Harmonie École d’Auvergne était placé sous la direction de Claude Kesmaecker, avec en soliste, Alexandre Doisy, saxophone baryton.
