Ballad For BJ - Score

Dans sa Fantaisie Ballade pour harpe à pédales, unique Å“uvre connue de l’auteur pour la harpe Érard solo, La Tombelle n’emprunte pas directement son thème principal à un chant traditionnel précis, mais nous joue l’artifice d’écrire une musique dans l’esprit des ballades anciennes. Le sens de ballade à privilégier dans cette partition est celui de la vision qu’en donne le xixe siècle avec une forme plutôt libre (ce qu’accentue le terme « fantaisie ») et aux accents parfois mélancoliques. Bien que la mélodie principale de cette pièce soit formée de trois phrases musicales, comme le nombre de strophes de certaines ballades médiévales, il manque ici un envoi récurrent qui pourrait démontrer un hommage explicite à la forme poétique prisée par Machaut ou Villon.
La présente édition se fonde sur un brouillon autographe non daté, sauvé de sa lente mais certaine destruction dans un sombre grenier, demeure de colombidae plus amateurs de roucoulements que de musique, pour être placé aux archives du diocèse de Périgueux et Sarlat. Le manuscrit, malgré l’écriture claire de La Tombelle, possède un certain nombre de repentirs ainsi que des indications sur le fonctionnement de la harpe à pédales. Quelques oublis ont été corrigés ainsi que certaines précisions concernant les changements de pédales. Concernant les deux glissandos que comporte la pièce (mesures 92 et 151), le compositeur a noté sous la portée les « sons homophones ». Le premier correspond donc à une septième diminuée (la-si #-do-ré #-mi b-fa #-sol b) et le second terminant l’œuvre, à une échelle pentatonique (sol-la-si-do b-ré-mi-fa b).

Sondheim! Covering a diverse span of Stephen Sondheim's most popular musicals, here is a polished symphonic setting of highlights from his illustrious catalog. Deserving a feature spot on any program, this medley includes: The Ballad of Sweeney Todd, Putting It Together, Send in the Clowns, Old Friends, Children Will Listen, and Into the Woods.

In 1836 Chopin introduced the term 'ballad' into Piano music with the publication of his Ballad op. 23 although up to then it had only been used in literature and in vocal music. Indeed all four ofChopin?s ballads have the character of a dramatic story: the musical thread is spun with increasing tension throughout the work reaching a powerful climax at the end. Following the 'Préludes' we have now thoroughlyre-evaluated this edition and revised it to include the latest scholarly findings. The most significant ones are documented in the printed critical apparatus; the detailed version can be downloaded from the Internet.

Lush and silky aptly describe Henry Mancini's classic ballad. Nothing fancy here just nicely scored harmonies and melodies for young players. A beautiful ballad for festivals or change of pace for concerts.

Whereas ‘Auld Lang Syne’ may be considered the best-known Scottish song ever yet at the same time it is an obscure one for there are but few people who know the complete text by heart. After the familiar ‘Should auld acquaintance be forgot .....‘ many people take their refuge to lyrics like ‘rum tee dum ta dee ..... lah lah lah ........... for auld lang syne’. Even in Scotland only a handful of persons know the entire text and are able to give a correct rendering of it. The current lyrics have been attributed to the Scottish poet Robert Burns. Burns however he did not write the whole poem : after he had heard an old man sing the centuries-old Scotchballad he wrote it down and added a number of stanzas (1788). Historical research teaches us that the ballad served many purposes both political and religious. Nowadays ‘Auld Lang Syne’ is sung as a Christmas Carol and it is also sung on New Year’s Eve at the turning of the year. Apart from that though the song is also sung on many other occasions – sometimes with different lyrics which usually have Love Friendship and/or Parting as their themes as these go well with the fascinating melody. In this arrangement a low-sounding solo instrument is central. The harmonization in the accompaniment fits in perfectly with the sentiments this song will evoke. Should auld acquaintance be forgot And never brought to mind? Should auld acquintance be forgot. And days of auld lang syne? For auld lang syne my dear For auld lang syne We’ll take a cup of kindness yet For auld lang syne.

Avec Ballad nous vous présentons une brillante ballade pour flugelhorn et band produit dans un style de jazz. Précédé par l?introduction des deux thèmes vous entendrez un passage improvisé qui permet au soliste de mettre en valeur le flugelhorn. A la fin le thème revient mais plus lent et vous laisse baigner dans une sphère mélancolique. A ne pas manquer un travail en solo !

Lentini?s Ballad s?inspire du célèbre poème Amor è un desio che ven da core (L?amour est un désir qui vient du coeur) de Giacomo da Lentini un des plus éminents poètes de l?École sicilienne du XIIIe siècle. La version instrumentale signée Jacob de Haan est absolument superbe. Il existe également une version vocale utilisant le texte original en italien. Cette ballade a été composée pour la Nuit de la Poésie une soirée consacrée aux poèmes mis en musique par Jacob de Haan.
