Dance Rhapsody No 1

Par LISZT FRANZ. Liszt ’s Piano rhapsodies stand in the tradition of his transcriptions of operatic or song melodies, yet employ folk dances and songs as their source material. Completed in 1864, Rhapsodie Espagnole is a late reminiscence of Liszt ’s extended travels to Spain and Portugal in 1844–45. On the basis of two popular Iberian dance tunes, Folia and Jota, Liszt here sets off fireworks of representative rhythms and tone colours with a highly virtuosic presto finale. The long inaccessible autograph manuscript of the composition is now accessible once more – an occasion for G. Henle Publishers to revise its Urtext edition. / Heinemann, Ernst-Günter / Répertoire / Piano

Par BALAZS ARPAD. Árpád Balázs (*1937) composed the first version of Rhapsody for Hungarian cimbalom and concert band in 2001; in 2021, on the encouragement by a Japanese marimba player he arranged the solo part for marimba, and therefore the opportunities for the work to be played have significantly widened. The Rhapsody follows the one-movement structure created by Franz Liszt. The beginning solo section of the cimbalom (or marimba) returns before the coda as a pillar of the form. The composition, which can be divided into five sections, develops and works with a Lydian tetrachordal motif (G-A-B-C sharp) in different characters, stretching the span of music from a simple, children's song-like appearance to an obstinate ritual dance. In conclusion, the Rhapsody is a passionately emotional lyric orchestral poem rich in colours and characters, which has a place on the repertoire of every concert band playing quality music. / Date parution : 2023-06-01/ Répertoire / Concert Band et Marimba

Embracing a rich history of Israeli folk music this spirited work by Robert Jager weaves together authentic folk tunes in a composition that is both lyrical and dance-like. The piece begins and ends with a folk melody that isused for both greeting and parting Shalom Chaverim. Exotic harmonies and colors are explored using the melodies Zum Gali Od Yishama and Simon Tov giving the rhapsody an overall “zest for life” feeling inherent inthis music.

Par ROLLIN CATHERINE. The strumming of Spanish guitars, the lyrical tribute to a great Spanish composer, the passionate excitement of Iberian sensations, the breathtaking exuberance of Spanish rhythms, the reminiscence of Spanish culture-Spanish elements are infused in each of these five pieces. Rolled chords evoking a Spanish guitar, enhanced rhythms with alternating hands, and lyrical passion are all found in Sounds of Spain, Book 4 by Catherine Rollin. These five late intermediate to early advanced solos explore many of the diverse dance and harmonic elements that make up the colorful Spanish music tradition. Each one is technically accessible yet contains dramatic sections that sound impressive. Titles: Fantasy at Alhambra - Homage to Granados - Rhapsodie Espagnole - Scherzo Brillante - Song of Spain/ Répertoire / Piano
