ADLER Samuel Etude de l'orchestration Discipline / Instrument : tous instruments Genre : Méthode - études Média : Livre Nombre de pages : 1136 (17,8 x 25,4 cm) Editeur : Lemoine Date de parution : 15/06/2011 ISBN / ISMN : 9790230982122 plus de 150 ans après Hector BERLIOZ, plus de 50 ans après Charles KOECHLIN ou Nikolaï RIMSKI-KORSAKOV, et quelques années après... un long travail, Les éditions Henry Lemoine ont le plaisir de vous présenter, enfin en langue française, de Samuel ADLER : Etude de l'orchestration TRAITE PRATIQUE Titre original : The Study of Orchestration, traité d'orchestration de réputation internationale Véritable défi éditorial, l'ouvrage est proposé ici sous la forme d'une édition française, augmentée de 280 pages (+33%) par rapport à la version traduite. En effet, le texte original, déjà riche, est complété : - par Gilbert Amy, d'un chapitre nous offrant son regard sur l'orchestre en musique contemporaine aujourd'hui, - par Bruno Gillet, de trois chapitres concernant la voix humaine, - de 60 pages de commentaires et annotations, à vocation pédagogique, du traducteur de l'ouvrage Philippe Vernier - enfin, d'un index complet et performant (accru de 150%) sans lequel une telle ampleur de contenu se révélerait assez rapidement vaine. Samuel Adler Compositeur et chef d'orchestre américain d'origine allemande parti très jeune aux états-unis, Samuel Adler a composé plus de quatre cents oeuvres publiées, dont cinq opéras, six symphonies, douze concerti, huit quatuors à cordes, quatre oratorios et bien d'autres pièces orchestrales, chorales, vocales ou pour band. Elève notamment de Paul Hindemith, Aaron Copland et Sergei Koussevitski, il enseigna à son tour à l'University of North Texas (1957-1966) puis à l'Eastman School of Music de l'university of Rochester (1966-1995), et depuis 1997 reste membre intervenant à la Juilliard School of Music au sein du département composition. Auteur d'autres ouvrages que celui-ci (Choral Conducting et Sight Singing), Samuel Adler a reçu plusieurs prix et distinctions pour sa contribution exceptionnelle au monde musical comme compositeur, chef d'orchestre et auteur - en 2001, il entre à l'American Academy of Arts and letters. En tant que chef, il s'est produit avec de nombreux orchestres prestigieux, aux états-unis ou ailleurs - plus d'une cinquantaine de ses oeuvres furent enregistrées et sont distribuées par des labels américains ou européens de premier plan. Gilbert Amy Elève de Milhaud et Messiaen au Conservatoire de Paris, Gilbert Amy est un compositeur dont le talent a été salué par de multiples prix et dont les oeuvres sont jouées dans les plus hauts lieux mondiaux de la création musicale. Succédant à Pierre Boulez à la direction des concerts du Domaine musical, Gilbert Amy a ensuite poursuivi une carrière de chef d'orchestre. Fondateur du Nouvel Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio-France, il en sera le premier chef et directeur artistique jusque dans les années 1980. Pédagogue reconnu, il a enseigné la composition et l'analyse musicale à l'Université de Yale puis occupé le poste de directeur du C.N.S.M. de Lyon de 1984 à 2000. Bruno Gillet Compositeur, Bruno Gillet a beaucoup écrit pour la voix, en formations de chambre, en duos avec divers instruments, en ensemble vocal, et avec orchestre. Au théâtre, il a collaboré, entre autres auteurs, avec Italo Calvino et Georges Perec. Au C.N.S.M. de Paris, il a inauguré la classe d'analyse et culture musicale spécialement destinée aux chanteurs, et assuré au C.N.A.D. la formation musicale des acteurs. Philippe Vernier Philippe Vernier se passionne très tôt pour les musiques orales dont il approfondit la connaissance d'abord en autodidacte (chanson, folk music...) puis sous l'impulsion du guitariste Alain Berkès (manouche, blues, jazz...). Après une expérience pop-rock, il étudie la théorie classique, suit l'enseignement des compositeurs Alain Roizenblat, Michel Decoust et Philippe Leroux - il reçoit alors plusieurs Premiers Prix (Orchestration, Composition...) et un D.E.M. en électro-acoustique. Compositeur de pièces pour bande, ensemble, chansons, musiques de film ou de scène, il a remporté le Prix de la Création Musicale au festival Paris-Tout-Court (2002).

The second of three Solfege Des Solfeges books this is an excellent set of exercises tailored towards the Solfege method of sight-singing and remains a popular method for teaching aural musicianship to beginner singers. First published in 1891 this edition has been translated into English by J.H. Cornell. Adolphe-Leopold Danhauser (1835-1896) was a French musician composer and pedagogue. His name was often Germanised to Dannhäuser. Having been appointed as Professor of Solfeggio at the Paris Conservatory he is best known for his pedagogical works such as the 1878 text book Théorie de la Musique but also composedseveral operas and other choral pieces.

Les deux tomes des 600 Mots de la musique couvrent l’essentiel du vocabulaire de la musique occidentale dite « savante ». Ce volume A contient les mots concernant la théorie (chromatisme, tonalité), les procédés compositionnels (contrepoint, renversement), les pratiques (basse continue, transposition), les esthétiques et courants musicaux (baroque, style classique, musique spectrale). Le volume B s’attache aux genres et aux structures formelles. Les vocables relatifs à la facture instrumentale, qui appartiennent à un autre domaine, ont donc été écartés, ainsi que la terminologie propre aux traditions orales, musiques extra-européennes et populaires (chanson, jazz, pop, rock, etc.).
Les mots les plus importants donnent leur titre aux entrées. Mais au sein des notices, des termes supplémentaires sont également définis (par exemple, « bécarre » apparaît dans la page consacrée à « altération ») : il nous a semblé plus pertinent de mettre immédiatement en perspective des notions intimement liées et d’éviter la formule du dictionnaire qui aurait entraîné un grand nombre de redites. L’intitulé de quelques entrées associe deux ou trois mots (« ambitus, tessiture, registre », ou « chaconne et passacaille »), lorsqu’il s’avère judicieux de les traiter de conserve.
Un index regroupe la totalité des termes et permet de retrouver aisément ceux qui ne disposent pas d’entrée propre. Dans le corps du texte, le signe ‡ désigne les mots explicités dans le volume A ; l’astérisque *, ceux qui sont commentés dans le volume B. Afin d’alléger la présentation, les mots les moins « techniques » et les plus familiers (tels air, concert, improvisation, romantisme, tempo) ne portent pas systématiquement de signe de renvoi. Ces signes sont également absents des citations et des titres d’œuvres.
Par souci de lisibilité et d’accessibilité, les exemples musicaux des œuvres anciennes sont imprimés en notation moderne et l’orthographe des citations anciennes est actualisée. La date indiquée à la suite d’une oeuvre correspond à l’année de son achèvement. Lorsque la composition s’étend sur un nombre d’années conséquent et qu’il nous semble utile de donner cette information, la date de début de composition est précisée en sus de celle de fin. La date d’édition se substitue à la date de composition lorsque celle-ci reste inconnue. / Méthodes et pédagogie / Formation musicale / Formation musicale - solfège / BILLAUDOT
