Par RENOUVIN DIDIER. Les quatre pièces proposées ici pour une fin de premier cycle ont été écrites tout d'abord en tant qu'oeuvres musicales. Chacune a un climat particulier qu'il est important de ressentir pour en rendre l'esprit. L' ' Hommage à Atahualpa Yupanqui ' donnera, je l'espère, envie de (re)découvrir les oeuvres si chaleureuses de ce guitariste-chanteur. ' Chanson ' et ' Plouztochnitk-danse ' utilisent un langage atonal, mais néanmoins cohérent, un peu dans l'esprit de Leo Brouwer. Quant à ' Orient-Express ', il m'apparaît après coup comme un hommage a Bela Bartok. J'ai voulu donner à ' faire de la musique ' plutôt qu'un échantillonnage où l'apprenti guitatiste doit montrer qu'il sait faire tantôt des gammes, tantôt des arpèges, remettant à plus tard son implication en tant que musicien. / Niveau : Facile / Contemporain / Date parution : 2009-04-30/ Méthode / Guitare

Alba is one of Bennett’s serialism-tinged works that also touches on medieval rhythmic modes. He based the work on the Tema Seriale from Cantata Academica by Benjamin Britten to whom Alba is dedicated. It is a demanding and rewarding piece for performer and listener.Composer performer and arranger Richard Rodney Bennett was internationally respected for his serious music and many award-winning film scores (Murder on the Orient Express Nicholas and Alexandra) as well as his works for children and his religious pieces. In addition this markedly versatile musician frequently performed as a jazz pianist. On his move to the United States the two sponsors for his green card(work permit) were Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim.

The playful side of versatile British composer conductor arranger and performer Richard Rodney Bennett comes to the fore with this delightful setting of seven nonsensical poems by Mervyn Peake. It was said of Peake during his lifetime that his serious work was full of humour while his nonsense verse was full of philosophy. This duality makes his lyrics a superb match for Bennett a composer who it is impossible to categorise. Composer performer and arranger Richard Rodney Bennett was internationally respected for his serious music and many award-winning film scores (Murder on the Orient Express Nicholas and Alexandra) as well as his works for children and his religiouspieces. In addition this markedly versatile musician frequently performed as a jazz pianist and arranger. Nonsense works equally well for students Choruses as well as for adult groups.

However often Bennett may have employed serial techniques or introduced jazz and modern elements into his work his Choral compositions are always tonal and melodic. In A Farewell To Arms he displays an exquisite sensitivity to the poetry of Ralph Knevet (17th century) and George Peele (16th century) and their mediations on the homely life after years spent soldiering. The Cello can be heard to serve as the ‘Voice’ of the old soldier. The music combines the jaggedly Romantic Cello line with Choral writing that suggests early music motifs and harmonies.Composer performer and arranger Richard Rodney Bennett was internationally respected for his serious music and manyaward-winning film scores (Murder on the Orient Express Nicholas and Alexandra) as well as his works for children and his religious pieces.
