The etudes by Chopin are usually described in two categories: as a 'compendium on knowledge of piano performance? or as 'small musical poems.? Both those definitions are correct, and do not exclude each other. The etudes will always remain an example of exeptional harmony between the instrumental and aesthetic-emotional aspects of a musical composition. / Piano

Par PART ARVO. `Spiegel im Spiegel` is a well-known example of Arvo Pärts Tintinnabuli style and has been used in many films. Arvo Pärts Spiegel im Spiegel illustrates his creative principles: above a permanent flow of chords on the piano, the cello unfolds acantilena in long note values, which grows out of succinct steps. This cantilena spins out sweeping, chorale-like arches and spreads itself o…

Anthem. Par PURCELL HENRY. The Anthem, in the post-Reformation church music of England was initially the term given to a choral work with an English biblical text. By the end of the 17th century it begins to take on Italian stylistic elements and becomes a cantata for solo voices, choir and orchestra. The anthem 'O sing unto the Lord' presented here, based on words of the 96th Psalm, is a particul…

Par BACH CARL PHILIPP EMMANUEL. C. P. E. Bach's nine-movement Magnificat (1749), the first great vocal work from his Berlin years, is among the most magnificent sounding, in which the solo vocal parts are also among the most ambitious settings of the 'Hymn to the Virgin Mary” (Luke 1). The work fulfills all the criteria required for a larger sacred composition: grandeur, dignity, polyphonic and co…

Par SIBELIUS JEAN. This collection of Six Part-Songs for Female Voices contains six relatively different pieces that vary both in the language of their texts (Finnish and Swedish) and in length and number of voices.
