Par RAVEL MAURICE. It was unmistakably Liszt’s piano piece “Les jeux d’eau à la Villa d’Este” that inspired Ravel to compose one of his most famous works in 1901: “Jeux d’eau”. Laid out in sonata form, its sound is governed by myriad motions of water and sustained by innovative, highly virtuosic piano textures against a freely migrating and richly coloured harmonic backdrop. Nicolas Southon has re-evaluated the work’s many sources, including memoirs from musicians close to Ravel such as Vlado Perlemuter, Jacques Février and Hélène Jourdan-Morhange. Special attention has been devoted to the original part-writing in Ravel’s notation. Rounding off the new edition are an informative Foreword, atrilingual glossary as well as fingering and notes on performance by Ravel specialist Alexandre Tharaud.

pour voix élevée-The melodies of Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) span the entire chronology of his creative output from his earliest song BALLADE DE LA REINE MORTE DAIMER (1893) written during his student years at the Paris Conservatory to the cycle DON QUICHOTTE ÀDULCINÉE (1932-33) his last compositions in any genre. In his songs Ravel?s text settings display a meticulous attention to detail. Ravel´s melodies are elegant and refined classical in their phrase structure.In his treatment of rhythm Ravel finds subtlety within traditional meters and dance forms-minuet waltz folk dances (especially Spanish dances)-also shape the rhythm in many of his songs.

In search of 'La Valse'-VAINQUEUR EBBC LILlE 2016Raveling Unraveling ? In Search of La Valse a ?t? compos? pour le Cory Band comme pi?ce de choix pour le Championnat Europ?en de Brass Band 2016 ? Lille. L??uvre tire son origine de la pi?ce de concert pour orchestre d?harmonie de Sparke The Unknown Journey (2014). Une marque de respect ? La Valse ce nouveau morceau utilise l??uvre de Ravel comme sous-courant structurel et a comme objectif un genre organique plut?t qu??pisodique. D?apr?s le compositeur La Valseest l?un des seuls morceaux qui r?ussit ? accomplir ceci. Il se sert de plusieurs sections de ce chef d??uvre aussi bien modifi?es que cit?es telles quelles ? y inclus laplupart de ses magnifiques passages finaux ? pour ?tablir la structure g?n?ralede ce nouveau morceau. Plus la musique progresse plus la musique de Ravel appara?t et domine alors que l?apog?e est atteinte ? un hommage au maestro fran?ais.

Description Composed for the famous ballet impresario Serge Diaghilev and the Ballet Russes, Maurice Ravel?s Daphnis and Chloe was drawn from an ancient Greek fable. At the time, Ravel announced his intention to 'compose a vast musical fresco, less scrupulous as to archaism than faithful to the Greece of my dreams.' The resulting 'choreographic symphony' features a captivating combination of orchestral traditions and modern ideals.

The Three Songs (Trois Chansons) dating from 1914/15 were arranged for four a cappella voices by Ravel immediately after he had written the music of these pieces. The lyrics were penned by the composer himself. The songs represent Ravel's sole contribution to choral literature.
The first song consists of three sections and tells the story of Nicolette, who sets out to pick flowers in the fields. Just like Little Red Ridinghood, she meets a wolf who asks her if she is on her way to her grandmother's house (M.1-13). Fleeing from him, she meets a page who wonderswhether she would like to have him as her 'lover true'. She dismisses his proposition though she finds it hard to do so (M. 14-39). In the third section, she encounters a plump, unhandsome man (lento!). He speaks to her:'Stay, stay, my Nicolette, all this gold I give to thee', and - 'VIVO' - Nicolette takes refuge in his arms. (M.40 to end).
The Three Lovely Birds from Paradise are sky-blue, white as fallen snow and bright red - just like the colors of the Tricolore, the national flag of France - which has been interpreted in many reviews as a sign of an increasingly nationalistic attitude becoming apparent in the war year of 1914. This song mourns the loss of the beloved one who went to war.
The Ronde is also made up of three sections. The old women are the first to sing (M.1-28). They warn the young maidens against entering the forest since it is inhabited by all kinds of dangerous (male) beasts. Then (M. 29 ' 56) the old men warn the young lads against going into the woods because of the numerous (female) demons living there. The irony of the story is to be found in the final answer of the young people (as of M. 57), who conclude: 'We will not go into the woods since the old folks have frightened off all the beasts, anyway.'
