The history of the composition of the oratorio is odd: the kernel of this three-part work were the movements from the middle section, the “Flight to Egypt, ” which Berlioz composed on a whim in 1850 and which he passed off as the work of a baroque composer whose existence he himself had invented. In 1854 the triptych, which was completed with the parts entitled…

ré mineur. Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. It owes its much-quoted nickname 'Tempest' to a note by Beethoven's famulus Anton Schindler, whom the composer advised to 'read Shakespeare's Tempest' as a key to the work. But Schindler had also asked for the Sonata op. 57 in the same breath, so that in the end it remained unclear which of the two sonatas was really meant. The preface of the new edition explai…

A Requiem For Victims Of Power. Par CUOMO DOUGLAS J.. The text for this piece is derived from the Epistle to the Reader of Sir Thomas Browne’s Hydriotaphia, (1658). Subtitled Urn Burial, the essay is a reflection on the discovery of a Roman urn burial site in Norfolk and the practice of disinterment. I compiled the text by redacting (i.e. eliminating) many of the words of the original, leaving beh…

Only later did he come across the complete cycle of 24 songs in Müller's volume ' Gedichte aus den hinterlassenen Papieren eines reisenden Waldhornisten ' of 1824. As a result, he set…
