This new collection of folk songs - 'Laula kultani' (Finnish for 'Sing, my sweetheart') - offers choirs attractive literature to expand their repertoires and to perform concerts for many different occasions. The creative choral director has many possibilities for performing this music: thus instruments can be added, or - if there are difficulties due to pronouncing a foreign language - a small ensemble can sing the song, while the remainder of the choir hums the music in the background. The selected songs about themes of love and love's sorrow, dance, festival and celebration, are traditional folksongs which are well-known and popular in the countries of their origin. In puttingtogether this collection special emphasis has been placed on the musical quality of the settings. In addition to traditional settings, many songs in new arrangments by contemporary composers have been included. The settings range in difficulty from easy to moderately difficult. / Musique traditionnelle / Répertoire / Choeur

À l?invitation de Justin Bonnet, coordinateur de cette édition, les documentalistes des associations implantées dans les différentes régions de France ont fourni une sélection de chansons issues de leur territoire. Les critères étaient assez lâches : représentativité ou rareté du thème, chanson remarquable par son interprétation? Toutes ces chansons ont été ensuite proposées aux compositeurs retenus pour cette édition qui ont fait leur marché dans cette sélection ! Il en ressort au final 23 chansons présentées ici dans des arrangements variés (principalement pour 3 voix mixtes), retenues plutôt sur des critères esthétiques que de représentativité des différentes régions de France. La musique a primé ! Ont ainsi contribué au projet Chansons traditionnelles pour aujourd?hui, des associations ou entités inscrites dans le réseau de la FAMDT (www.famdt.com).

Par DVORAK ANTONIN. The profound impression it makes on us is due in part to the sequence of variations on a death motif that seems to have been borrowed from the beginning of the second Kyrie from Bach's Mass in B minor. Written in 1890, it was commissioned by the publisher Novello for the Birmingham Music Festival and premiered there under the direction of the composer on 9 October 1891. For this performance, Dvorák used a copy of the score which he had personally examined and which later served as the engraver's copy. The Dvorák scholar Klaus Döge succeeded in tracking down its location and evaluating this important source for the first time. It contains the 'Fassung letzter Hand' and, moreover, offers valuable insights into Dvorák's conducting workshop. It served as the principal source for the Breitkopf Urtext edition./ Répertoire / Choeur

Par LESVENAN HERVE. Décembre 2010 - Je déambule sous les arcades Turinoises, ville que j?affectionne tout particulièrement ; ce jour-là, cohue et précipitation des préparatifs de Noël ; pour échapper à ce stress, je pousse la porte d?une église. On y est bien, et le silence se fait ; Là, posés sur une table, une multitude de textes s?offrent aux curieux ; j?en choisis un, clamant la vie, puis, un 2e évoquant? la mort. Lequel choisir ? La vie, la mort... et pourquoi pas les deux ? ... la vie et la mort... « ... la vita è la vita... » - Hervé Lesvenan / Date parution : 2012-05-01/ Répertoire / Ch?ur, Piano et Contrebasse
