In Sonata 7 in D major Balicourt opens with a suave intricately rhythmic Adagio. The following Presto with its delightful interplay between flute and bass including both octave doubling and stretto imitation is the most skittish movement to emerge from the composer’s pen. The finale is a ‘sandwich’ movement in which a Minuetto encloses a duple-metre Cantabile in D minor. Although the minuet could be said to exemplify one of those ‘easy’ movements referred to in Balicourt’s prospectus for subscribers its complex prescribed ornamentation requires sensitive handling. Sonata 8 in E minor is strategically placed as the final work inthe set being one of the longest as well as the most conservative; adopting the traditional four-movement configuration it continually harks back to the grand Handelian style. An eloquent Andante ushers in a Presto containing many slightly academic contrapuntal touches and much chromaticism. The subsequent Largo is only five bars long: its plain melodic line in minims and crotchets is the skeleton around which the flautist is expected to weave an elaborate embroidery. For the finale Balicourt introduces in effect a new version in triple metre of the second movement. The fact that all four movements are in E minor heightens the sense of unity which is expressed very concretely through their sharing of some thematic material.

for Double Wind Quintet. Par CESARINI FRANCO. Les danses folkloriques sont très répandues dans toute la Grèce. Dans cette pièce, Franco Cesarini a voulu utiliser quelques danses typiques de la tradition populaire grecque. Il a sélectionné trois chansons folkloriques traditionnelles, les adaptant librement. Le premier mouvement est un kalamatianos, une danse festive qui a des racines remontant à l'antiquité, dans les premiers écrits d'Homère. Elle est considérée comme la danse nationale grecque. Sa caractéristique la plus distinctive est le rythme irrégulier en 7/8. Selon l'occasion et l'habileté des danseurs, certains pas peuvent être exécutés en sautant et en s'accroupissant. Le deuxième mouvement représente un zeibekiko. Contrairement à la plupart des danses traditionnelles grecques, le zeibekiko n'est pas une danse exécutée en groupe ; il n'y a pas d'étapes particulières à suivre, seulement certaines figures. Le troisième mouvement, un hasapiko, est une danse traditionnelle avec des racines à Constantinople. Le hasapiko, qui a inspiré le sirtaki, est une danse qui passe d'un rythme lent à un rythme plus rapide. Le hasapiko est dansé en ligne ou en cercle ouvert, chaque danseur plaçant ses mains sur les épaules du voisin. / Date parution : 2022-04-01/ Répertoire / Double Quintette de Vents

Play-Alongs Bekannter Stücke Aus Irland Schottland Wales Dem Cornwall und Der Bretagne-Martin Tourish is an accordionist composer and musicologist from Co. Donegal now based in Dublin. Celtic music is in his blood for his ancestors were noted collectors of dance music manuscripts dating back to the 19th century. With many recordings to his credit he now offers his expertise to performers wishing to explore the rich culture of Irish and other Celtic music on a variety of instruments. ?World Music Celtic? presents material from the Irish Scottish Welsh Cornish and Breton traditions. It makes no great technical demands on the players but Tourish points out that notation of this music is often ?skeletal? hence it is important to gain a knowledge of theindividual traditions in question and naturally he offers plenty of information on performance practice. The collection spans three centuries from the blind bardic harpists of the 18th century to the international performers of the present day. Tourish accepts that this volume can only scratch the surface of a multi-faceted genre but hopes you will see it as a stepping stone to delve deeper into recordings festivals and the very communities whence this music comes. ?World Music Celtic? is available in four formats each with complete recordings and backing tracks on CD: as solo versions for violin flute or saxophone (with piano) and in an ensemble version for two melodic instruments (C Bb or Eb) piano guitar bass and bodhrán.

Folk Suite for Double Wind Quintet. Par CESARINI FRANCO. Divertimento Op. 4 fait référence au genre musical classique pour instruments à vent. La formation dite 'Harmonie' a été très en vogue auprès des compositeurs classiques viennois. En particulier Mozart qui transmit pour la postérité une beauté musicale immortelle et une valeur artistique incomparable. Dans les trois mouvements de cette pièce, le compositeur réécrit des chants populaires, finlandais pour les deux premiers et bulgare pour le troisième. La composition a un caractère nonchalant, cherchant principalement le plaisir de l?auditeur mais ne manquant pas de moments plus recherchés et profonds notamment pendant le deuxième mouvement. Cette composition de jeunesse de Franco Cesarini montre sa prédilection pour les chants populaires, élément déterminant pour ses ?uvres futures. L'instrumentation habile et l'attention méticuleuse porté à l'équilibre des formes contiennent le germe de la particularité de son écriture musicale. / Date parution : 2022-04-01/ Répertoire / Double Quintette de Vents
