Comme beaucoup de gens, je me suis intéressé au ragtime en tant que forme artistique grâce à Joshua Rifkin et ses interprétations de la musique de Scott Joplin. En 1971, après divers projets communs au Royaume-Uni, un ami américain m'envoya un exemplaire des Collected Piano Works (oevres complètes pour piano) de Joplin, tout juste publiées. Quelque temps après, au cours d'un voyage en Australie, un ami pourvu d'une immense collection de disques me fit écouter des enregistrements de rags et de musique de style ' stride '. C'est ainsi que je découvris l'incomparable James P. Johnson interprétant, entre autres, Mule-Walk Stomp et The Carolina Shout.Mon initiation fit un bond en avant quand je fis la connaissance de William Albright. Son disque Ragtime Back to Back, enregistré avec William Bolcom, avait déclenché en moi une admiration passionnée. Non seulement Bill Albright me donna la partition de sa Grand Sonata in Rag (Jobert-Paris, 1974) que j'avais eu le plaisir d'entendre auparavant, mais il me fournit aussi des copies de ses transcriptions d'anciens enregistrements de ' strides ' figurant sur le disque mentionné ci-dessus. À Terre-Neuve, un passionné de ragtime me fit écouter des enregistrements de Max Morath et de sa musique. Je pris contact avec le compositeur qui eut la gentillesse de m'envoyer la partition de Polyragmic. Récemment, j'ai travaillé les magnifiques rags de William Bolcom (Complete Rags for Piano, Edward B. Marks MusicCompany), superbement enregistrés par John Murphy (Albany).Ainsi, après avoir joué Joplin, Albright et Morath au fil des années et maintenant, certains rags de Bolcom, le temps me semblait venu de m'y essayer à mon tour. Voici le résultat de cette aventure. Ces pièces, écrites en janvier et février 2012 pour mes amis du Gers, sont présentées ici dans l'ordre de leur composition. Sainte -Christie et Caillavet sont deux petits villages perchés sur des collines, avec vue sur les Pyrénées. Pavie, près d'Auch, est le site du Château Monlaur. Mon épouse et moi résidons à Caillavet. Les deux derniers rags ont été composéspour nos voisins.Pour finir, un conseil de Scott Joplin : ' C'est toujours une erreur de jouer le ragtime vite.

The Gallipoli Campaign took place between April 1915 and January 1916 and marked the first significant military engagement for Australia as an independent dominion. The Gallipoli Songbook commemorates this crucial event of the Great War with a collection of contemporary songs relating to the soldiers, the public at home, and the sheer poignancy of such a tragic event, all arranged for Piano, Vocal and Guitar.The diversity of songs included in this Gallipoli Songbook is testament to the spirit of optimism, consolation and humour inherent in the collective consciousness at the time of such great anxiety and fear. This is a wonderful compilation of contemporary tunes that were popular both before the War, during the various campaigns and after the War itself. Some songs included here sum up the optimistic and patriotic spirit in the years leading up to Gallipoli, such as Waltzing Matilda and God Save The King, while others like And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda, from after the event, look back on the horrors of the Anzac experience on those fateful days.Other tunes come from the wonderful British Music Hall tradition, using irony, sarcasm and humour to overcome the sadness associated with the Great War. Songs like Oh! It's A Lovely War, It's A Long Way To Tipperary and Along The Road To Gundagai were popular both at home and as marching tunes, conquering the petrifying realities of war with rousing music and song. The Gallipoli Songbook also includes wistful, sad and heartbreakingly poignant lyrics that capture the unavoidable sadness associated with the costs of total war, songs like I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now, There's A Long, Long Trail and The Gift Of Years, all bittersweet reflections on love, loss and life's transience. Each song included here is a fantastic way to remember the victims of the Gallipoli campaign, and to understand the power that music has to allay, disguise and reflect upon fear and anxiety. The songs, arranged for Piano, Vocal and Guitar with full lyrics and chord boxes, are a fascinating insight into the period from before the War to after it, and their timelessness makes them as fun to play and sing now, as they were back then. The book also contains a smattering of brilliant images from the time, as well as an extensive foreword that explains, in detail, some of the songs and their meanings.The Gallipoli Songbook is an enjoyable, poignant and fascinating collection of tunes of, or relating to, the Great War and the Gallipoli campaign. Each song is beautiful in its own way, and would be perfect for a commemorative performance, or just an addition to your general repertoire. This songbook is perfect for a musician interested in history, or simply anyone who appreciates the golden age of emotive songs that meant more back then than we could ever imagine today. / Piano/Vocal/Guitare (PVG)
