Parable

Par l'aisance de son jeu et la subtilité incomparable de sa sonorité, Gérard Caussé est de ceux qui ont su rendre à l'alto ses lettres de noblesse. Dans ce disque, aux côtés du Quatuor Ludwig et de Michaël Lévinas, il entrelace pour notre plus grand plaisir deux très beaux cycles écrits pour son instrument où l'audace, l'innovation et la tradition sont convoqués tour à tour. / Alto, Piano Et Cordes

A musical celebration of children's rights for narrator choir and ensemble/backing tracks.It's easy to learn once heard not easily forgotten funny yet serious lighthearted yet touching: a parable of our times and for our times.The chorus of 'Jake And The Juveniles' would have a very good chance of winning the annual Doveton Talent Contest if only they could get Jake out of bed in the morning. But even when they do down at the shelter where they rehearse they are met by the demolition men and then the blank face of bureaucracy.Although they are close to despair this is where with his unexpected arrival on the scene the Right Genie comes in veryhandy. But instrumental though the genie is in pushing for the rights of our hero and the Juveniles he also encourages Jake to look beyond his own immediate problems however important they may seem to a world where children have more pressing needs than his.Parts for Piano Bass Cello Clarinet Drums Flute/Vibraphone Guitar Violin I and Violin II are included.

One-act play by Peter Kien-In September 1942 Viktor Ullmann was interned in the concentration camp of Theresienstadt where he composed the opera Der Kaiser von Atlantis [The Emperor of Atlantis] on a libretto of Peter Kien a fellow prisoner in 1943.This opera was rehearsed by a chamber ensemble founded with the permission of the SS but its first performance was prohibited after the final rehearsal. The autograph of the score only survived because shortly before his deportation to Auschwitz in 1944 Ullmann handed it together with the libretto to a friend who was able to save both manuscripts at the end of the war.The opera is a parable of a cruel emperor whose senseless war isclaiming many lives. Death puts an end to the chaos by refusing his duty - now everyone lives for eternity. The king becomes disempowered but the people long for a release from the pain of life. Only the voluntary death of the emperor can restore death's original purpose. The libretto is a vigorous take on the Third Reich and more particularly the concentration camp of Theresienstadt through the means of a mystery play. The music with its numerous references to jazz and then current light music sometimes by direct quotation puts the composer in the role of political commentator following the tradition of topical opera in the 1920's.

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.

Based on the parable from the Gospel of Luke this song for SATB choir has added drama in the shape of two soloists - one baritone and one tenor - who assume the roles of the Pharisee and the Publican. There is much interplay between parts illustrating the difference between the characters of the men.
