Mexcian-born composer Daniel Catán now resides in the United States. He originally composed Encantamiento for two alto recorders (50484728/$8.95).

Chandons Te Deum HWV 281. Par HAENDEL GEORG FRIEDRICH. Handel composed the 'Te Deum” in B-flat major HWV 281 in 1718 for the future Duke of Chandos, hence its nickname 'Chandos Te Deum”. Here it is called 'Te Deum for Cannons” after the Duke's stately home named Cannons where the first performance took place. The unusual scoring for flute, oboe, bassoon, trumpet, two violins and basso continuo plus a choir (one soprano, three tenors and a bass) probably reflects the musicians which were available at Cannons, bearing in mind that three tenors were used also in 'Acis and Galatea”, the masque which was composed at almost the same time. Though in many respects this 'Te Deum” is reminiscent of the 'Utrecht Te Deum”, its smaller forces tend to give it more the character of chamber music. This edition is based on the Urtext from the 'Halle Handel Edition” (BA 10708), which offers the first complete scholarly text of the music for the 'Te Deum”./ Répertoire / Orchestre à Vent

The sheet music includes a score and double sets of parts and is sure to be a concert favourite includingmelodies of The Wassail Song The Holly and The Ivy Away in a Manger The Coventry Carol and Unto Us A Boy Is Born.Graham Lyons is something of a polymath which is not that unusual among musicians.

In each of the past two years, Robert W. Smith has released a movement from his symphony The Divine Comedy. Musicians, conductors and audiences can now welcome Paradiso, the third movement from the symphony. Ethereal percussion is the palate with which solo voices paint musical landscapes of what paradise must be. Hints of themes from the other movements emerge to tie together all of the musical elements of this powerful new work. Completely captivating! (duration 4:43) [The two movements already available are The Inferno (BD9563) and The Ascension (BD01085)].

(Overture in E-flat major). Par JAEGGI STEPHAN. Dans le cadre de l'année 2023, dédiée aux compositeurs suisses, l'Association suisse des musiques a commandé à Gauthier Dupertuis une nouvelle orchestration de l'Ouverture en Mi bémol de Stephan Jaeggi. En effet, une mise à jour de l'instrumentation était nécessaire à l'interprétation de cette 'uvre avec les orchestres modernes. Ainsi, l'orchestration que Gauthier Dupertuis propose, et qu'il a voulu fidèle à l'originale tout en répondant aux standards idiomatiques actuels, permettra aux orchestres actuels de pouvoir interpréter cette pièce d'inspiration classique-romantique. Compositeur et chef d'orchestre, Stephan Jaeggi est né en 1903 dans une famille nombreuse à Fulenbach (Canton de Soleure). Il a commencé la clarinette à 13 ans, a étudié la musique au Conservatoire de Bâle et a effectué son école de recrues au sein de la musique militaire. Une fois ses études terminées, il a dirigé plusieurs orchestres à vents. Dans ce rôle, mais aussi dans celui de compositeur, Stephan Jaeggi a accumulé les succès. Sa disparition prématurée, en 1957, a mis bien trop tôt un terme à la vie créative de Stephan Jaeggi. Mais aujourd'hui, son 'uvre est plus vivante que jamais. / Date parution : 2023-10-31/ Répertoire / Orchestre à Vents
