Legend has it that Edith Piaf, one of the greatest stars of the French music scene, was born under a lamp post in Paris and spent much of her childhood roaming the streets, singing in front of a fascinated audience. Out of the poor streets developeda singer who was to become the darling of French cabaret. A Tribute to Edith Piaf is a wonderful arrangement for band of four of the most well-known songs of this romantic, spontaneous, desperate and everlasting legend.Naar verluidt werd een van de grootste sterren uit de Franse muziekwereld onder een lantaarnpaal in de Parijse rue de Belleville geboren. Na een eenzame jeugd, waarin ze veel over straat zwierf en voor mensen zong, werd Edith Gassionontdekt door Louis Leplée. Van hem kreeg ze haar bijnaam, La môme Piaf (de kleine mus). A Tribute to Edith Piaf is een prachtig arrangement voor harmonieorkest van Roland Kernen. Het omvat vier van de bekendste chansonsvan deze tegelijkertijd romantische, spontane, wanhopige en onsterfelijke legende: Milord, Hymne l??Amour, Mon Manège Moi en La Vie en Rose.Die Legende um Edith Piaf, den 'Spatz von Paris' besagt, dass sie aus ärmsten Verhältnissen kam und ihre Karriere auf der Stra?e begann. Aus der armen Stra?ensängerin wurde die wohl berühmteste Chansonsängerin aller Zeiten. A Tributeto Edith Piaf ist ein wundervolles Medley für Blasorchester von Roland Kernen aus vier der bekanntesten Lieder dieser unsterblichen Legende.Piaf, la Môme de Paris a cristallisé autour d??elle le monde de la chanson au-del des frontières hexagonales. Inimitables et éternelles, ses chansons sont restées sur toutes les lèvres. Avec Milord, Hymne l??Amour, La Vie en Rose et MonManège Moi, Roland Kernen nous fait entrer dans le monde de cette légende immortelle. Piaf ou le talent l??état pur.Con la sua voce caleidoscopica, capace di mille sfumature, la Piaf anticipò di oltre un decennio quel senso di ribellione e di inquietudine che incarneranno poi gli artisti intellettuali della rive gauche di Parigi. Una vita caratterizzata da amoritumultuosi e sfortunati, da incidenti e malattie, Edith Piaf rimane inimitabile ed eterna. Include: Milord, Hymne l??Amour, La Vie en Rose e Mon Manège Moi.

ISBN 9790007249229. Key: F major. Language: French. Text: Barbier, Jules.
The three verses of Aimons-nous, separated by piano interludes, are cheerful and amorous, an invitation to everlasting mutual love. The text portrays this almost as a law of nature: rivers and streams combine, the sun embraces the earth, and the birds snuggle close to each other in their nest. Light, rippling syncopations in the piano accompany Gounod's typical catchy melodic writing in the vocal parts. The writer Jules Barbier was Gounod's favored opera librettist (Faust, Romeo et Juliette), but many other 19th century opera composers also set his texts, including Camille Saint-Saens, Giacomo Meyerbeer, and Jacques Offenbach. This art song was originally composed not for chamber choir, but for solo voice and piano. Denis Rouger has carefully adapted it to suit the requirements and expressive possibilities offered by a larger ensemble, without losing the any of the qualities of the original in the process. Each part in the choir has a melodic line drawn from the harmonic and rhythmic framework. In the process, the variety and refinement of the choral language combines with an enormous flexibility in form and expression, as French melodies or German art song demand from a soloist and pianist. The songs have been recorded by the figure humaine chamber choir on the CD Kennst du das Land ... (Carus 83.495).
