Par DOBSON SIMON. Firefly was composed by award-winning composer Simon Dobson (b.1981) to provide an entertaining up-tempo concert work for community and youth bands. Composed in funk-rock style, and is based on the groove beat with which it opens. Dobson says, 'Firefly was written as a break from my more serious music and as a 'hat tip' to the various types of beat orientated music I listen to.” …

Vincenzo Bellini a passé très haut dans le ciel de la musique, à la vitesse d'un météore. Ses études terminées, il s'envole tout de suite vers une carrière fulgurante que rien ne semble pouvoir arrêter. Jour après jour, de triomphe en triomphe, il réforme l'opéra grâce au chant infini. Un pont entre la sublime élégance de Mozart, le romantisme de Donizetti, le drame de Verdi. Tout y évolue vers un…

Böhmische Hirtenmesse. Par RYBA JAN JAKUB. Freely rhymed Mass settings; available either in German or Czech. The Bohemian Christmas masses are a typical product from the end of the 18th century. Jan Jakub Ryba’s Pastoral Mass from 1796 is a prototype of this genre. It was set in Czechoslovakian and filled with a conscious simple, folk-like musicality, which every villager in Ryba’s time could unde…

Par FREEMAN ALEX. Alex Freeman found initial inspiration for his string quartet (2015) in a series of photographs a geologist friend showed him of en échelon veins in rock formations. The open strings punctuated with pizzicato unisons that begin the single-movement work call to mind something crystalline and shimmering, which is immediately infused with tumbling lyrical lines in something of a rap…

Par FAVIER THIERRY. Parallèlement aux productions parodiques et populaires, les cantiques et airs spirituels composés sur les plus beaux recueils de poésie lyrique chrétienne, comme les Cantiques spirituels de Racine, les Stances chrétiennes de l’abbé Testu ou les Psaumes de la pénitence d’Élisabeth-Sophie Chéron, explorent toutes les ressources de la musique baroque française et offrent un témoig…

Piano Works. Par LANGGAARD RUED. Rued Langgaard (1893-1952) is one of the most important Danish composers of the 20th century.

Generally speaking his piano music represents the entire broad spectrum of expression and the stylistic diversity one finds in his music. Some of the most personal works he…

Par DOBSON SIMON. Little Hymn was composed by award-winning composer Simon Dobson (b.1981) to provide an alternative to the traditional hymn tune settings that provide one of the foundations of the brass band repertoire. This simple, haunting melody begins on a brass quartet without cornets. The full band joins for the second part, which rises to a richly textured climax before receding to a quiet…
