Enchantment - Set of Parts

Vltava (The Moldau) is the second in Smetana's Ma Vlast set of symphonic poems written for his native Czechoslovakia and named after the river that passes through Prague. The music is very programmatic in the Romantic sense carefully and vividly depicting the journey of the water from the springs to the rapids. Deeply and affectionately nationalistic the music carries the listener through a Peasant Wedding and a Forest Hunt with touches of enchantment from the Moonlight: Dance of the Water Nymphs. Vltava is a work very much of its time featuring so many of the characteristics that now define the Romantic era from our modernperspecyive and is unsurprisingly one of the most popular and widely performed Symphonic Poem of the repertoire.Scored for: 2.1.3.2/2(1asax)(1tsax).2.2.0/timp.1perc/str

This enchanting 8-minute piece for violin and piano – Oliver Knussen’s penultimate work – is made up of various kinds of musical reflection: melody reflected in its inversion; a six-note mode reflected in its complement; and the relationships between the three main parts of the piece which are in a way varied reflections of each other. There are some reflections in water too the work’s opus number (31a) demonstrating a relationship to Knussen’s unfinished Cleveland Pictures: ‘The main melody began as a response to Gauguin’s painting of a Breton woman swimming’ Knussen wrote ‘and there is also perhaps anecho of the lonely underwater world of an ondine eventually breaking the surface at the end of the piece.’

Le Papillon qui tapait du pied-Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) est l?un des plus célèbres écrivains de langue anglaise. Né à Bombay en Inde ce journaliste poète et romancier reçoit le prix Nobel de littérature en 1907. On lui doit notamment les célèbres ouvrages Le Livre de la Jungle (1894) Histoires comme ça (1902) et Kim (1901) entre autres. Rudyard Kipling a sillonné le monde glanant de-ci de-là des mots et des merveilles à raconter aux petits et aux grands. Aujourd?hui encore ses Histoires comme ça enchantent par leur drôlerie et leur poésie ; de délicieux récits d?animaux entre l?Inde et l?Afrique initialement écrits pour sa fille Joséphine qui mourut en 1899 des suites d?unegrippe.Le Papillon qui tapait du pied est un des douze contes du recueil Histoires comme ça. Maxime Aulio s?en est inspiré pour créer une œuvre qui s?inscrit dans la tradition de l?impressionnisme musical français. Le saxophone baryton solo incarne le Roi Salomon fils de David ; les flûtes jouent le couple de papillons ; une clarinette est la Reine Balkis - la Sage Balkis de Saba - tandis que les trompettes et les cornets représentent les Djinns. Les personnages évoluent dans un décor orchestral merveilleux à l?image des jardins et du palais du Roi Salomon. / The Butterfly That Stamped (Le Papillon qui tapait du pied) est une œuvre de commande pour la Fédération Musicale d?Auvergne (France) avec le soutien du Conseil Régional d?Auvergne à l?occasion du 10e anniversaire de l?Orchestre Régional d?Harmonie École.

The rich musical heritage of Ireland represents some of the greatest traditional melodies.

Wachet auf ruft uns die Stimme-This enchanting melody is from the fourth movement of Bach’s Cantata 140 which was composed in 1731 using the parable of the wise and foolish virgins as the text. The work is beautiful in its simplicity with only three melodic lines demonstrating Bach’s counterpoint at its best. For greatest effect it is suggested that the trumpets and trombones play behind the band or to the right and left of the stage.
