Scherzo Concertante

Par JALBERT PIERRE. Duo Concertante contains five brief movements of contrasting character. The first movement functions as a short prelude, with the viola and bass combining to form alternating high and low harmonies and trading off solo lines. The second movement is a playful scherzo, played pizzicato by both instruments, while the third movement is the central, lyrical movement of the work, with undulating natural harmonic tremolos and a rhythmically driving interruptive middle section. The fourth movement consists almost entirely of quickly bowed natural harmonics with fleeting rhythmic tremolos on both instruments. The final movement contains rapidly driving music in constant motion, interrupted twice by cadenza-like free sections which are non-synchronized. The two instruments then come together for the final push to the end. Duo Concertante was written for James and Deborah Dunham on the occasion of their 35th anniversary, with support from the Shepherd School of Music, Rice University.

Matériel D'Orchestre Seul (Conducteur Référence Dlt1001). Par WOLFF FELICIEN. Cette oeuvre créée des oppositions entre la trompette principale, les bois, les cordes, la petite harmonie, et les quatre cors. Opposition bien tranchée également entre les trois mouvements qui composent cette oeuvre : un adagio médian, sans trop d'insistance, se glisse entre un 1er mouvement joyeux et enthousiaste et un scherzo développé en final de symphonie. La partie de trompette solo, très brillante, permet au soliste de faire valoir l'instrument dans tous ses registres. La Symphonie concertante pour trompette a été exécutée avec divers interprètes et chefs dans la cadre des concerts symphoniques de Grenoble. / Niveau : Assez Difficile / Contemporain / Date parution : 2009-05-25/ Répertoire / Trompette et Orchestre (2 Flûtes Traversières, 2 H

Work for Oboe Violin Viola and Cello. Parts available: CH56341.This quartet was commissioned by the Institute of Contemporary Arts and written in the autumn of 1967. It is dedicated to Lady Norton and is the second of LennoxBerkeley’s three works written with the oboist the late Janet Craxton in mind the other two being his Sonatina OP 61 and Sinfonia Concertante OP 84.The work begins with a fairly extended introduction leading without a breakinto an Allegro. The whole composition is based on the internal of a third (sometime major sometimes minor) which is heard in the opening phrase of the introduction and again in the main theme of the Allegro though here in atotally different context. The allegro is in more or less traditional sonata form. The middle movement is a kind of Scherzo growing out of a rhythmical figure for the strings and a rapid arpeggio (major and minor chords) forthe oboe. This is a Presto; a more relaxed middle section corresponding to the Trio in a classical work is followed by a much shortened version of the Scherzo. The last movement is brief but very slow all four instrumentstaking up in turn a gently rocking figure that moves to and fro between two notes always a major or minor third apart. The music becomes more animated but returns to the opening figure and dies away each instrument droppingout one after the other leaving the cello alone in the last bar.

Par WOLFF FELICIEN. La réussite sonore de la Symphonie concertante avec trompette solo me donna envie d'associer les trois instruments les plus claironnants de l'orchestre en un trio. Dans cette oeuvre, d'exécution certes difficile, je pense avoir réussi à m'exprimer dans un langage musical particulièrement original. Elle comporte cinq mouvements : Prélude, Fugue, Adagio, Scherzo et Final qui s'opposent et se complètent opportunément. / Niveau : Assez Difficile / Contemporain / Date parution : 2005-09-01/ Répertoire / Trompette, Cor en Fa et Trombone
