Suite from Carmen

As part of the Stringsets series available here is the Suite from Bizet's famous opera Carmen as arranged by Tony Osborne. Score and Parts.

24 Favourite Pieces Arranged For The Moderately Advanced Guitarist. Par COLES PAUL. 'From Folk to Classical 2” is a mouth-watering collection of 24 arrangements for classical guitar by Paul Coles. The classical pieces include many favourites, including a few you would not expect to hear on the guitar, such as 'Habanera” from 'Carmen” and Saint-Saën's famous 'Swan” but they really work! Traditional folk numbers are not neglected, with 'Michael Row the Boat” and 'Londonderry Air” among the best known. The arrangements are for moderately advanced players (UK grade 5-6) and Paul has offered fingering help for both left and right hands. It follows Book 1 (UE 21673) which was published in 2017 (Grades 3-4). Try it, perhaps as a warm up for Book 2 if you don't already know it and then try Paul's '26 Melodic Studies” (UE 21670) or his 'Momentos Españoles” (UE 21671)./ Recueil / Guitare

Composer arranger and Pianist Bizet might have become the most renowned opera composer in France had he not died aged 36 just one month after the premiere of Carmen. He was admitted to the Paris Conservatoire in 1848 and excelled under the tutelage of Zimmerman Halévy and Gounod as well as winning major prizes including the Prix de Rome in 1857. After travels in Italy he settled back in Paris and while struggling to secure commissions for his operas worked as a rehearsal pianist and an arranger of works for piano. His first staged work Les pêcheurs de perles was premiered at the Théâtre Lyrique in 1863 and met with a hostile press but itimpressed Berlioz and the director of the theatre Léon Carvalho would become a firm supporter. More successful were La jolie fille de Perth (1866) his suite from the incidental music to L’Arlésienne (1872) and his Jeux d’enfants for piano duet. In Carmen the scandalous story and Bizet’s depiction of the tragic heroine both outraged and intrigued and the opera ran for 47 performances in its first year and soon spread internationally. The music was a fulfilment of his genius for characterisation that had been seen in glimpses in his earliest works and the abundance of memorable tunes and fine orchestration continues to inspire generations of singers and musicians. Based upon the 1875 published version of the opera—with revisions and restorations by Jean-Claude Hartemann and further editorial overview by David Lloyd-Jones— the edition includes both the original spoken text as well as recitatives by Ernest Guiraud and the following sections: •Scène et pantomime N° 2 (Attention! Chut! Taisons-nous!) •Original Mélodrame after Marche et Choeur des gamins N° 3 (Il y a une jolie fille) •Original version of Carmen’s entrance aria N° 5 (L’Amour est enfant de Bohême) •Original version of N° 6 Scène (Carmen! sur tes pas nous nous pressons tous!) •Chanson et mélodrame N° 9 (Tra la la la … Ce ne sont pas des chansons que je te demande) •Original version of N° 17 Duo

The opera Carmen after a short story by Prosper Merimee and the incidental music to the play L'Arlesienne by Alphonse Daudet are without doubt the most important works of Bizet. It is significant for him that his imagination was aroused most by literary subjects of high standing. In spite of failure at their first performances both works became worldwide successes continuing to the present day.The three extracts selected here all of them pieces complete within the larger framework are a testimony to the fact that the brilliant orchestrator Bizet had a special predilection for the flute.This is a wonderful selection ofextracts from Bizet's two great works Carmen and the L'Alesienne Suite No.2 which have been skilfully arranged for Flute with Piano Accompaniment by Werner Richter.The solo flute part is also included on a separate insert.

Classical Guitar Arrangements from Bizet's Opera Carmen. One might think that it would be impossible to arrange the music of Georges Bizet?s opera, Carmen, for solo classic guitar, but Néstor Ausqui has done it! While the guitar is an intimate and sweet-sounding instrument, it does not have a broad dynamic range; yet, as Dionisio Aguado proclaimed in his Nuevo Método para Guitarra of 1843, the classic guitar?s expansive palette of tone color gives it the ability to emulate ?a miniature orchestra?. These characteristics make the guitar the ideal instrument to reflect both the character and sensuality of the dances that occur throughout Bizet?s Carmen?Aragonaise, Habanera, Seguidillas, and Danse Bohéme?as well as Carmen?s sober ?Chant de la Mort?. Recommended for the advanced guitarist, Carmen Suite is written in standard notation with extensive digitation and occasional drop-D tuning. In Néstor Ausqui?s Carmen Suite, ??the guitar both sings like a human voice and accompanies itself, giving the work an irrefutable guitar identity. The characteristic feeling manifested in Spanish dance is now expressed through the guitar with a full and defined instrumental singularity.? ? Guillermo Rene? Alvarez Musicologist, Professor at the Instituto Superior de Mu?sica, Universidad Nacional del Litoral-Argentina

Standard: IntermediateSix fresh new arrangements of immortal melodies from Bizet's operatic tragedy of passion betrayal and murder will be welcomed by all players of the instrument. For the Carmen Suite well-known soloist and editor Deborah Calland has chosen the Overture Séguedille Flower Song Aragonaise Card Scene and Chanson Bohème which may be performed either individually or in the dramatic sequence of the complete suite.

Henrik Wiese once again draws on his wealth of experience as a flutist and pedagogue: with his book “The Piccolo & Alto Flute Audition“, he has compiled a total of 207 audition excerpts in a carefully edited and clearly arranged compendium. In alphabetical order, it contains standard passages from orchestral works of various genres throughout music history, both common and less frequently requested. This up-to-date collection is a reliable companion and indispensable for optimal preparation for international auditions of all kinds at the opera, with symphony or chamber orchestras.
Easy-to-read, uniform and modern layout make the edition convenient to use. The critical report and chronological list of audition excerpts for quicker stylistic classification make the editor a comprehensive coach for flutists. Numerous other tips and remarks gained by Wiese from his practical experience and exchange with colleagues and students complete the book. International demand is fulfilled by the texts being in three languages (German, French, English), thus making “The Piccolo & Alto Flute Audition“ the equivalent of the already established edition “The Flute Audition“.
