36 Original Piano Pieces Instrument : piano Nombre de Pages : 72 The music teacher and pianist Monika Twelsiek adds a new selection of piano works around the subject of Night and Dreams to the Piano Classics series. At any time, the night was a theme in literature, art and music. 'Night' and 'Dream' are emotional images which evoke vastly different emotions in different people. The night is a place of peace and security, of longing and love, of secrets, imagination and dreams. But night also means strangeness, loneliness, fear, danger and crime. The collection 'Night and Dreams' with works from the Romantic piano literature to new contemporary sounds tries to capture all of these nightly emotions. Apart from a plethora of folk-song-like lullabies, numerous fantastic dream pieces and descriptions of dangerous night scenes have been added to the collection. An alluring mixture of imagination and reality, for advanced piano pupils and lovers of piano music. Content : P. Zilcher: Lullaby, op. 93/4 - G. Nevada: A Little Dreamy - A.

Creation 04/11/2018 - Cologne (Germany), Philharmonie - Anaïs Gaudemard (harp) Sponsor Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and Philharmonie de Paris Dedication to Anaïs Gaudemard Notice Nighthawks is a work for solo harp. When Anaïs Gaudemard [1] asked me to write this work, she wanted to integrate it into a program on the theme of birds. I immediately thought of the work Nighthawks (1942) - or Night Birds - by the American realist painter Edward Hopper (1882-1967). Inspired by this work, I designed the piece in one piece as a trip to the heart of this painting. Hopper projects there a snapshot of American daily life. The scene takes place at a late hour of the night and several atmospheres emerge from it. Indeed, the eye is at the same time attracted by this dark, deserted, and immaculate street of an American downtown; intrigued by the frozen situation of the four characters inside a brightly colored diner; and hypnotized by the glare of the huge bar window. Contrasting with the darkness of the street, the light from this neon-lit window is striking. It thus separates the two atmospheres of the painting. The view of the spectator through it is from outside to inside the bar. The absence of an exit door gives the impression that the characters are isolated and their solitude is further reinforced by this glass which surrounds the illuminated stage - as if they were under a bell . Inside the diner, a man seen from behind is eating; a couple stand side by side (the man smokes; the woman is dressed in red); a server is busy. We don't know anything about them. What are they doing at such a late hour? Where is the exit? What are they discussing? Do they know each other? I wanted to musically conceive this scene from the viewer's point of view, as if we were caught up, sucked into the very interior of the painting. The introduction - Mysterious, dark - sounds the twelve strokes of midnight and plunges us into the darkness of this typically American street. From this nocturnal atmosphere is born a strange song - almost padded with xylophonic sounds - as if we could not hear it distinctly through the luminous glass which separates the street and the bar. Caught up in this bright light, we pass through the window and gradually return inside the diner by means of a hypnotic loop repeated tirelessly, as if we were entering a state of trance - Hypnotic. It is the underlying tension of this frozen situation of the characters that I wanted to represent in the central passage - Rhythmic and pulsed. Then, we come out of this feeling of hypnosis by passing through the bar window again and rediscover the nocturnal atmosphere of this deserted and immaculate street - Hypnotic - Mysterious. Camille Pepin [1] Creator and dedicatee of the piece Hurry What a simply beautiful work here! Camille Pépin, born in 1990, had a career marked by dance and composition. But we discover here quite simply an artist, who invites us to the contemplation of a work of the painter Edward Hopper. Having worked on composition and orchestration with Thierry Perrine as well as with Thierry Escaich, Guillaume Connesson and Marc-André Dalbavie, she has forged an original language which allows her here to bewitch us both by her music and by contemplation of the painting. We can judge by the interpretation of this piece on YouTube that we will listen to while looking at the painting. Of course, you can also listen to the work as it is: it is sufficient. But with the painting ... Daniel blackstone Music Education n ° 128 (Jan-Feb 2020)

Four poems sharing a common motif of 'Night' provide the texts for my choral cycle Nocturnes, the American Choral Directors Association's commissioned work for its 2005 national convention. For Rilke's atmospheric ?Sa nuit d'ete,? several melodic themes are supported by dense, colorful harmonies in both the choral and piano parts, leading to a climactic section where all are combined and stated simultaneously. Neruda's ?Soneto de la Noche,? from his Cien Sonetos de Amor, speaks of an eternal love that transcends death while reaffirming life. My a cappella setting of this gorgeous poem is predominantly quiet, serene and folk-like, utilizing direct harmonies accompanying long, lyrical vocal lines. Agee's wondrous ?Sure on this Shining Night? is set much like a song from the American musical theater, a genre for which I have held a life-long esteem. Rilke's poignant ?Voici le soir? recalls the opening bell sounds and jazz-tinged chords of the first movement and serves as an epilogue, quietly concluding this cycle of night songs as darkness descends.

1001 Nights in the Harem. Par SAY FAZIL. 'My Violin Concerto consists of four movements whose inspiration is loosely connected with Scheherazade’s One Thousand and One Nights. The first movement is set inside the harem; a variety of women from the harem are introduced, each with her own different personality. The second movement is a frenzy of dance – in effect a party night with an abundance of different types of dance music. The third movement depicts the next morning and consists primarily of variations on a well-known Turkish song. The fourth movement begins dramatically, but develops during the course of the movement more and more into a reminiscence of all the previous events and the work culminates dreamily in a happy mood with sensuous oriental sounds. As appropriate for an oriental soundscape, the orchestra includes a series of Turkish percussion instruments such as a kudüm or bendir, but also glockenspiel, marimba und vibraphone, celesta and harp. It is however the solo violin which tells the story and also accompanies the listener through the entire work. The violin part is highly virtuoso and unites the four movements into an intensely atmospheric whole in which the solo violin soars off into a solo cadenza between each movement, sometimes accompanied by one of the percussion instruments. As is customary, the present piano reduction is initially intended as an aid for the study of this work, but during my tour programmes with Patricia Kopatchinskaya and Burhan Öçal we have utilised this material to create a trio version for violin, piano and percussion.'

Nightlife in Paris. The magnificent shows at the Moulin Rouge have left their mark on the collective imagination of all who read about them. For decades, a small but spectacular band formed one of the basic ingredients in this internationally famed cabaret theatre. With the first sounds of this composition by Peter Kleine Schaars, the exciting Parisian nightlife immediately comes to mind. The musette takes us to quartier Pigalle, the red-light district of Paris, and when the doors of the Moulin Rouge open, we hear the recognizable rhythms of a contemporary disco: a combination of the rhythmic cells 8 / 4 and 3 / 14. In addition, the composition has been highlighted with a plentiful and varied use of rhythmic cell 5. Naturally, the themes and accompaniments have been divided equally among all parts.
