3 Airs Of Court

SKU: MB.30963

ISBN 9781513468204. 8.75x11.75 inches.

This exceptional collection of 41 truly beautiful airs and ballads from the British Isles offers both well-known tunes by the prolific blind Irish harpist, Turlough O�??Carolan and rarely heard melodies by anonymous composers; all have stood the test of time. Arranged for soprano or tenor recorder, these include O�??Carolan�??s classically influenced �??Lord Inchiquin�?� and �??Eleanor Plunkett�?� as well as �??O Gentle Dove�?� and �??Cuckoo Dear�?��?? both examples of the strong tradition of song in Wales. Among other tunes, the haunting modal melodies of �??The Dark Slender Boy�?� and �??Enchanted Valley�?� express the melancholic heart and soul of the British Isles.

A few of these songs have taken on a life of their own in modern times. �??Bonny at Morn�?�, a popular traditional tune of northern England and Scotland, was arranged for soprano voice and harp by the 20th century British composer, Benjamin Britten. �??The Skye Boat Song�?� originally recounted Bonnie Prince Charles Edward Stuart�??s journey to the Isle of Skye after his defeat at the historic Battle of Culloden. Later, the song evolved into a lilting lullaby and was more recently used as the theme song for the popular Outlander television series.

Departing slightly from recorder notation practice, author Marcia Diehl has judiciously arranged these melodies complete with spare slur markings to aid the amateur player in authentically and musically rendering these tunes.

In the output of the long-lived 17th-century composer John Jenkins, the 32 'Ayres' for two trebles, two basses and organ have a special place. They were probably composed during the English Civil War, while the composer was in East Anglia, and his royalist patrons were subject to harassment by Parliamentarian forces. Though one of the pieces, 'Newark Siege', is a rare instance of programmatic music in Jenkins's output, the pieces in general are far removed from the lightweight dance idioms of the time, being full of contrapuntal interplay inspired perhaps by the consort airs of the court composer William Lawes.

The four parts retain original note values, and correspond to the edition in Musica Britannica MB36, though the bass parts have alto clefs for the higher passages. The organ part, not included with the instrumental material, is played from full score in the parent volume.

La Traviata is een van de bekendste opera’s van Giuseppe Verdi. Het verhaal geeft het conflict tussen vrije liefde en de burgerlijke moraal weer. De jonge dichter Alfredo en de Parijse courtisane Violetta worden verliefd op elkaar.Ze zijn een tijdlang gelukkig samen, maar Violetta geeft Alfredo op verzoek van diens vader op om de eer van zijn familie te redden. Pas als het te laat is, worden de geliefden herenigd:Violetta lijdt aan tbc en sterft in de armenvan haar minnaar. La Traviata Highlights bestaat uit drie delen, die uitvoerbaar zijn als één groot werk, maar ook afzonderlijk kunnen worden gespeeld. Er zijn veel mooie dansmelodieën, evenals een aantal prachtige, ontroerendearia’s uit de opera La Traviata in verwerkt.

La Traviata Highlights besteht aus drei Sätzen, die als ein langes Werk, aber auch getrennt voneinander gespielt werden können. Im ersten Satz folgt auf eine stürmische Einführung eine Art Tarantella - diese Musik stammt aus dem Finale des zweiten Akts der Oper. Der zweite Satz ist das weltberühmte Vorspiel zum ersten Akt; es weist einen vertraulichen und etwas rührenden Charakter auf. Den Schluss dieser Bearbeitung bildet das berühmte Trinklied aus dem ersten Akt mit seiner fröhlichen, eingängigen Musik voller Lebensfreude.Ein echtes Highlight für Ihr Konzert!

La Traviata, un des plus célèbres opéras de Giuseppe Verdi, est inspiré du drame La Dame aux camélias d’Alexandre Dumas fils.

La Traviata Highlights reprend quelques-uns des plus grands moments de l’opéra dont le Prélude de l’Acte I, une tarentelle extraite du Finale de l’Acte II, et la célèbre chanson boire Brindisi qui clôt l’oeuvre dans la joie, la brillance et l’exubérance.

Classical ReminiscencesDuring his time as conductor of the Detmold court orchestra, the young Brahms was inspired by the local wind ensemble to compose two serenades. Serenade No. 2, scored for five pairs of winds, violas, cellos, and string basses (leaving out the violins) is strongly reminiscent in sound of Mozart's wind serenades. The expressive Adagio is the heart of the five-movement work. Quite untypical of Brahms, he acquired a liking for the work from the outset, still undertaking a revision scarcely 15 years after the premiere of 1860; this has now been made available in a new practical edition based on the Johannes Brahms Complete Edition (JBG).
