Mercury Rising

Par SPARKE PHILIP. Mercury Rising est une commande du « sinfonisches blasorchester wehdel » et de son chef d?orchestre, Thomas Ratzek, pour célébrer le cinquantenaire de l?ensemble, en 2018. Celui-ci a créé cette pièce le 2 novembre 2018 lors de son concert d?anniversaire au Bremerhaven Stadttheater, en Allemagne. Destinée à ouvrir un concert avec brio et virtuosité, cette composition débute avec une énergie fiévreuse et des rythmes syncopés puissants dans un embrasement de couleurs. Les cors et les saxophones introduisent alors une ample mélodie, reprise par les trompettes après un changement de tonalité. Un moment plus calme introduit une fanfare lointaine par les cors par-dessus les doubles croches effervescentes des clarinettes dans le registre grave. Ce passage est interrompu par une mélodie ténor pleine de passion, mais il revient bientôt avec l?ensemble des cuivres ; accompagné par des échos des figures d?ouverture des vents, il se prolonge pour mener la pièce à une conclusion triomphale. / Date parution : 2022-01-14/ Répertoire / Concert Band/Harmonie
