Composer's Program Note Repertoire operas occationally have orchestral suites: Bits and pieces of overture interlude etc. tied upin a bouquet of 'schönste Tränen'. Contemporary opera usually wither after the first season so the focusis on getting people to come and have a sniff before it's too late. Consequently it seemed obvious to meto start making orchestral excerpts from my operas that are meant to be played before the premiere (andafter please); I call them 'opera trailers' when they're substantial enough to be considered independent works and 'opera demos' when they're relatively short and moreappetizer-ish. SNOW WHITE'S MIRROR is a full scale two act dramatic opera written for the Danish National Opera. The opera is a modern re-telling for grown-ups of the brothers Grimm's fairy tale: Snow White is a self-centered teenage narcissist and the villain of the opera; she ends up loosing everyone but herself either because she kills them or because they decide they can't stand being around her anymore. But apparently she's o.k. with that...The music is intended for a large audience: it's basically pop music done with all the craftmanship of aclassical composer who's equally at home with large scale symphonic form avantgarde technique opera singing - and modern pop. The Trailer is in three movements. It contains three sections of the opera; the prelude an interlude close to the beginning of the second act and the final scene but one. It's a gloomy sort of trailer starting out in grand title sequence style moving on to a decidedly odd piece where Snow White find her way to the dwarfs (who're creepy junkies doing pornography to get money to buy dope) and ending in kind of an eerie rejection mood: Everyone still alive walks out on Snow White singing 'skin as white as snow hands red with blood soul as black as ivory'.(NM 2010)

Taken from Concerto Grosso Op. 3 (also known as L'estro Armonico “Harmony of the Soul”) this unique edition offers the opportunity to feature three of your best players (two violins and one viola) as asoli group accompanied by the larger string orchestra. A great opportunity to perform a distinctive Baroque work in a setting that's refreshingly different than the standard string orchestra format. Dur: 2:30

Stephen Bulla arranger for the White House Orchestra has set this spiritual in a swing style. This delightful crowd pleaser will help teach basic swing concepts to your beginning orchestra members.

(1929-1945)-Pour le compositeur la mise en musique de la vie d?Anne Frank souleva bien des émotions. Il a deux _x001C_filles du même âge et son père est né en 1929 comme Anne Frank. Il est important de ne jamais oublier comment la politique et le racisme ont détruit la vie d?une jeune _x001C_fille innocente. À une époque où dans certains milieux on nie l?existence des camps d?extermination on vénère les anciennes idoles et le racisme augmente à nouveau il ne peut jamais y avoir trop d?oeuvres commémoratives. Anne Frank était une jeune _x001C_fille comme les autres avec les inquiétudes les rêves et les souhaits de son âge. Une belle oeuvre à programmer lors de votre prochain concert.

Work for Solo Cello and Orchestral Cello Section. Premiered by Yo Yo Ma.Quoting Tavener: It was while pondering these traditional dicta that I began to write the opening solo melody for the cello. It is in fact a palindromebecause waking and dying are like two sides of a piece of paper. If you wake up spiritually then you will die to all that is not of God. In the middle section which is also a palindrome the orchestral cellos join in theparadoxical meditation providing a platform as it were while the cello line takes on a much more melismatic and decorative character.In fact the whole work is a series of intellectual contradictions realised by thesimplest of musical metaphysics. Dying life life dying waking up in order to die the solo cello always represents the individual mind dying and the individual mind waking up.Then of a sudden just before the end thesolo chant begins again only to be cut off by a distant sentimental memory the memory of 'the blues' reminding us of ordinary human emotion and of our fallen state. The very end suggests a waking up into a kind of peace (notsoul slumber since after death the soul becomes more intensely alive); but we know nothing of that so the music fades beyond our ears.

Op. 38. Par ELGAR EDWARD. This is the best of me, wrote Edward Elgar after the final measure of his Dream of Gerontius. Premiered in 1900, in Great Britain the work has long been a standard work in the repertoire of large oratorio choirs. Elgar?s moving, poetic setting of the eponymous poem by Cardinal John Henry Newman is about a dying man and his journey beyond death to God. Before the eyes of the listeners, a musical image of the soul is created which flies past mocking demons to God with its protecting angel at its side, is allowed to look at him briefly, then faces the purgatorial fire of salvation confident and comforted. The work is a real rarity in the history of oratorio, and for large choirs it is a thrilling alternative to the established repertoire of Requiem settings. Its popularity is thanks to the suggestive, often sensuous power of the music, the great choral scenes of the demons and the Angel, and the three impressive solo parts. All previous editions were reprints based on the historic first printed materials, which are inconsistent. By contrast, Carus has produced a modern, newly-engraved edition, compatible in all sections, which takes all the sources into consideration and evaluates the autograph manuscript in detail. For this edition the complete orchestral material is available on sale, and the vocal score and full score contain both English and German singing texts. The full score is also available digitally. / Date parution : 2022-05-31/ Répertoire / Solistes, Ch?ur SATB et Orchestre

BWV 10-Now My Soul Exalts The Lord BWV 10: Cantata for the Feast of Visitation B. V. M.With his cantata Meine Seel Erhebt Den Herren which Bach composed for the Visitation of Mary (2 July) he created a Magnificat setting of a different kind: The German text source is a combination of biblical text and a free interpretation the basis being the Marian hymn of praise from the Gospel according to Luke. The 9th psalm tone acts as the chorale melody and becomes a recurring musical theme.With a small scoring of one trumpet (which if need be can be omitted) two oboes strings and basso continuo along with four soloists and choir Bach succeeds in writing a festive music of 20-25 minutes.This performing edition is based on the Urtext of the New Bach Edition.

This blast to the past will motivate, captivate, and elevate your students with old school '60s soul sound, an infectious, danceable rhythm, and a triumphant finish. Written in 12/8, the tune begins with a ballad-like introduction for solo cello and then moves around the sections. Each instrument has a chance to improvise or solo in the written-out solo section. Authentic sounding riffs, complete with grace notes and a shout chorus, add to the fun of compound meter rock. A sure audience pleaser and a terrific end to a concert or first half!

George Stone's medium swing setting of this familiar standard features lush ensemble writing with short solos for Alto and Tenor. Beautifully orchestrated and easy on the chops.

Par DUFOURT HUGUES. Il s'agit d'une oeuvre particulièrement représentative du genre de peinture qui a pris son essor pendant le Xe et XIe siècles sous le règne de la dynastie des Song du Nord (960-1127) et qui place la peinture chinoise sous le signe de l'unité retrouvée. Le style 'nordiste', inauguré par Ching Hao et Kuan T'ung se trouve porté à son point de tension extrême par Fan K'uan (fl. 990-1020) dont le Voyage par-delà les fleuves et les monts figure et résume la peinture des grands maîtres classiques de cette époque. L'art du trait calligraphique s'applique au traitement des parois et des surfaces, tout comme les rides en goutte d'eau servent à renforcer les effets de hauteur. Il existe, dans cette toile, une certaine contradiction entre l'éloignement des choses et le caractère abrupt d'un mur primordial qui s'impose avec une évidence absolue. On voit une imposante falaise rocheuse s'arracher d'un abîme et s'élancer jusqu'au ciel, comme un surgissement de l'inaccessible, surplombant un paysage escarpé que vient encore aiguiser le relief âpre et tourmenté de la végétation du premier plan. A la verticale, une broussaille de forêts lointaines semble agrippée aux sommets. Sur la droite, la chute vertigineuse d'une cascade tombant des hauteurs se déroule comme un ruban de soie. En avant-plan, un groupe de rochers laisse entr'apercevoir, plus bas, une caravane de mules dont le trait presqu'imperceptible laisse pressentir l'insignifiance de l'être humain face à l'immensité de la nature. On notera aussi le style sévère et dépouillé de ce paysage majestueux, son allure austère et solennelle qui souligne le caractère sacré des montagnes - la demeure des dieux - dans la peinture monumentale de paysage des Song du Nord. L'altitude est le véritable personnage de cette oeuvre célèbre, une peinture sur soie, d'encre et de couleurs légères, qui est conservée au Musée national du Palais de Taipei, à Taïwan. J'ai cherché à rendre ce sentiment plénier de la nature au grand orchestre, en sorte que l'articulation du souffle ne soit jamais interrompue par des notations accidentelles ou des velléités de développement. La pièce se déroule d'un seul tenant, comme une trame élémentaire, à l'image d'une continuité où toute interruption est arbitraire. Elle est parcourue d'un seul rythme enveloppant des tensions opposées - ascension et suspens, émergence et pesanteur. Une association instrumentale y domine, celle du pupitre des clarinettes allié à celui des trombones, avec des modes de jeu qui projettent les trombones dans l'extrême grave et diffractent le son de la clarinette en un tremblement de multiphoniques. Deux compositeurs, Ivàn Solano, clarinettiste, et Dominique Delahoche, tromboniste, ont bien voulu me guider dans cet inventaire des nouvelles ressources instrumentales. Il est difficile de parler de la forme de l'oeuvre, puisqu'il s'agit d'une transformation incessante, constitutive, à l'instar d'une forme-flux sans cesse renaissante et tendue vers un perpétuel effort d'intégration et de condensation. La forme n'est plus qu'une puissance obscure et négative qui se confond avec le rythme de la couleur ou de la masse. Une toile de fond 'd'harmonie-timbre', constamment dressée, suggère l'étendue et la profondeur, et figure, si l'on veut, une sorte de fond spatial qui serait l'espace même du paysage. Les seuls événements qui scandent le processus sont des 'coulées de forces' qui excèdent toute limite définie et suggèrent des régimes dynamiques variés. Ce Voyage par-delà les fleuves et les monts, d'après Fan K'uan, est l'objet d'une commande conjointe de l'Orchestre Philarmonique de Nice et du CIRM.
