Après Excalibur et Stonehenge, Albion est la troisième oeuvre majeure pour Brass Band de Jan Van der Roost inspirée par l’Angleterre du Moyen Âge. Bien que l’oeuvre ne soit pas construite autour d’une histoire précise, ce poème symphonique a toute l’ampleur d’une épopée. L’ouverture de l’oeuvre semble dépeindre la conquête d’Albion (premier nom connu de l’Angleterre), transportant l’auditeur à l’é…

Par PURCELL HENRY / BRITTEN. Benjamin Britten's performances and realisations of the songs and other music by Henry Purcell extended over at least thirty years, from the early nineteen forties onwards. In Purcell he found a kindred spirit: a composer of opera and dramatic music who knew how to write for the voice, and who handled the English language with sensitivity and daring. / Niveau : Assez F…

Cherubini owes his fame as a church composer primarily to the ?Requiem in C minor? of 1817. It was held in extraordinarily high esteem by such composers as Beethoven and Schumann and served as a model for early 19th-century Requiem settings. Dispensing entirely with solo voices, it captivates with its rigorous formal concentration and its restrained use of musical resources in both choir and orche…

Par SENFTER JOHANNA. The number of well-known clarinet quintets is quite small. The only major composers whose clarinet quintets are relatively widespread are Mozart, Brahms, Weber and Reger. The composer Johanna Senfter (1879-1961) from Oppenheim admired the music of Johannes Brahms and of Max Reger who was her teacher. Her chamber music œuvre conveys a certain closeness to the clarinet. She even…
