Par DEARMER PERCY / VAUGHAN WILLIAMS RALPH. Un favori ferme avec des choeurs pendant de nombreuses années, il s'agit d'une collection classique des chants traditionnels. Au cours des cinquante années écoulées depuis sa mort, Vaughan Williams est venu à être considéré comme l'un des meilleurs compositeurs britanniques du 20e siècle. Il dispose d'un catalogue particulièrement vaste d'oeuvres, y compris les oeuvres chorales, symphonies, concertos et opéras. Ses recherches et son imagination visionnaire, combiné avec une flexibilité dans l'écriture pour tous les niveaux de la création musicale, a signifié que sa musique est aussi populaire aujourd'hui qu'il l'a jamais été./ Recueil / Chant

Par VAUGHAN WILLIAMS RALPH. Boldly reimagined and completed by Martin Yates, The Future, a substantial non finito draft of a major choral setting of words by Matthew Arnold, dates from 1908, immediately after Toward the Unknown Region, and in the crucial year of Vaughan Williams’s three-month tutelage with Ravel in Paris. Urgent ecological concerns – strikingly relevant today no less than in the Victorian period of unprecedented industrial expansion – propel the broad sweep of Arnold’s prescient account of mankind’s past and its uncertain hereafter. The prophetic tone draws on similar images of river, estuary and ocean that inspired the finale of A London Symphony. The Future is around 35 minutes’ duration, for solo soprano, chorus and orchestra, and it will without question be seen as an essential link in the evolution of VW’s embracing universal vision of humanity, expressed uniquely for all time in A Sea Symphony. / Date parution : 2023-03-11/ Répertoire / Soprano, SATB et Orchestre

Par VAUGHAN WILLIAMS RALPH. In 1908 Vaughan Williams composed the Nocturnes for baritone and orchestra - each a setting of his favourite poet Walt Whitman - though these works were believed to be unfinished. The manuscript of an earlier Nocturne, a fully orchestrated setting of Whispers of Heavenly Death, came to light in 2000. Now, Faber Music is proud to announce the publication of the Three Nocturnes, which sees Vaughan Williams's completed work framed by two masterful completions by composer and English-music expert Anthony Payne./ Répertoire / Voix Moyenne et Orchestre

Par VAUGHAN WILLIAMS RALPH. On his return to civilian life after five years Army service in the First World War, Vaughan Williams revised some pre-war works, such as The Lark Ascending and his opera Hugh the Drover , and embarked on new compositions - the Pastoral Symphony , the one-act Bunyan episode The Shepherds of the Delectable Mountains and the Mass in G minor - all of which have outwardly in common a serene tranquillity. But beneath the surface, especially of the symphony, is a requiem-like mood, a legacy of the war. This ambiguity can also be sensed in the three songs -or rondels - for voice and string trio which he called Merciless Beauty. The texts are attributed to Chaucer./ Répertoire / Chant et Piano
