The second string quartet by Philip Glass is a lyrical almost romantic piece with strong prominant melodies and deceptively simplistic arrangement that reflects his pioneering minimal compositions. The piece began life as a scorefor Mabou Mines the New York theater company that counted him as 'unofficial' composer for almost three decades and the name comes from the Samuel Beckett play Company.

The fifth string quartet by the innovative Philip Glass was originally commissioned by David and Evelyne Lennette for the Kronos Quartet and was first performed on February 15 1992.

Par TYSHAWN SOREY. Tyshawn Sorey\'s For George Lewis draws inspiration from The Will to Adorn, a dense work for chamber orchestra by the composers friend, collaborator and mentor George Lewis. Where Lewis\'s score is frenetic, however, Sorey\'s enters into a meditative stasis for most of its 51-minute duration, slowly accumulating and breaking down different sonorities of harmony and colour. Alarm Will Sound, for whom the piece was composed, gave the world premiere in November 2019 at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, conducted by Alan Pierson, who also worked closely with the composer to edit this score. Calling for 16 players including a double bass with a fifth string tuned down to A-the score offers extensive performance notes and is available for sale as part of the Peters Contemporary Library, with performance materials available on hire. / Date parution : 2022-09-07/ Répertoire / Orchestre

Par CEUNEN FILIP. The Flood (L?Inondation) est une commande de la société musicale Maris Sonores de Biddinghuizen, aux Pays-Bas, à l?occasion de son 55e anniversaire. Dans cette ?uvre haute en couleurs, le nom de la société est habilement tissé dans la musique ? « Maris Sonores » signifiant « les sons de la mer » ? avec des cliquetis de clés dans les flûtes et les clarinettes, des effets de vent dans les cuivres, les bois et les timbales, ainsi que d?autres effets sonores dans les petites percussions. L?histoire de la ville est également reflétée musicalement. Il y a bien longtemps, vers l?an 800, un hameau du nom de Bidningahusum existait déjà ; il fut victime, hélas, des eaux du Zuiderzee de l?époque. Plus tard, les inondations catastrophiques de 1170 lui portèrent le coup fatal. Dans les années soixante, on fit appel à des spécialistes pour reconstruire une ville nommée Biddinghuizen dans le polder du Flevoland-Est ? et ce projet se concrétisa. Disponible pour orchestre d?harmonie ou fanfare, cette ?uvre polyvalente a été écrite de manière à pouvoir être interprétée par de nombreux ensembles. Tous les pupitres étant mis en valeur, The Flood sera une joie pour les musiciens comme pour leurs auditeurs. / Date parution : 2022-07-28/ Répertoire / Concert Band/Harmonie

Par NISHIMURA YUKIKO. The title Luna is the Latin word for moon, which is the subject of this lyrical work by composer Yukiko Nishimura, originally composed for string orchestra. In a lilting waltz style, the composer has described the inspiration as imagining the sky with the moon at daytime. Nishimura\'s gift for melody shines throughout, especially in the middle section which includes lush passages in the upper winds with a delicate accompaniment. This new arrangement by the composer makes this beautiful work accessible to symphonic bands. / Date parution : 2022-09-20/ Répertoire / Concert Band

\'A Cry against Facism\'. Par DE MEIJ JOHAN. The Painted Bird, the controversial novel by Jerzy Kosinski (1933-1991), tells the story of a Jewish boy during World War II. For his safety, the child was sent to the Polish countryside by his parents. The title refers to a barbaric tradition among Polish farmers. The wings of a captured bird were painted in bright colors, after which the animal was released. Almost immediately, the bird was attacked and pecked to death by its peers. The boy underwent the same fate. Wherever he wandered, the local rural people cruelly mistreated him because of his distinctly different appearance. However, he survives the horrors and is reunited with his parents after the war. To escape the yoke of the Soviet occupation in his country, the Polish-Jewish Kosinski emigrated with counterfeit papers to the United States in 1957, where he became an American citizen in 1965. His landmark novel The Painted Bird was translated into thirty languages and sold millions of copies. Plagued by illness and accusations of betraying his country and plagiarism the writer ended his life in 1991. / Date parution : 2022-07-30/ Répertoire / Concert Band/Harmonie

Par ANDERSON LEROY. Like most of Leroy Anderson\'s efforts, Belle of the Ball is light, effervescent, and devoid of conflict or disharmony. Anderson looked upon the piece as a modern-day American revival -- or revitalization -- of the Viennese waltz tradition. Having said that, the main theme sounds rather unlike a Strauss waltz, but the voice of Tchaikovsky is evident in its playful, fantasy-like character. The melody is rhythmic and comes in short groups of notes, beginning with two notes, then three, then expanding further; the music skates along elegantly. The middle section features a delightful variation on the theme, in which Anderson\'s gentle-belled sonorities impart a playful innocence. This exclusive Southern band edition by Mark Rogers reintroduces Anderson\'s enchanting work to new generations of audiences. / Date parution : 2022-09-20/ Répertoire / Concert Band
