For solo Cello Timpani and Strings.Popule Meus was commissioned through the Magnum Opus project: Kathryn Gould founding patron and commissioner and Meet the Composer project manager.It was first performed on 6thFebruary 2010 by Yuri Hooker (cello) and the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra conducted by Alexander Micklethwate. Composer's Notes 'Popule Meus is a meditation on the Judaic and Christian text ?O my People whathave I done to you?? but itis also a Universalist contemplation of the wholesale rejection of God by modern man. However much manrejects God he cannot escape Him and indeed he is condemned to the supernatural by his deiformnature. InHindu terms he is the Absolute Ayam Atma Brahma (The Self is the Absolute).In this work the solo cello is the All-Compassionate One while the timpani represent man in his vain andpointless rejection. Although the solocello and strings and the timpani share the same material (four ideas aregradually revealed and they revolve four times during the piece) the timpani music is violent and becomesincreasingly frenzied and contracted while thecello and strings remain still and serene.So even in winning the Darkness loses and even in losing the Light wins. Passion Resurrection andRedemption; or in Hindu terms Atma (The Absolute) alone is real Maya (The Relative) ismerely illusion.'

Par MANTOVANI BRUNO. Contrary to what one might think, it is particularly difficult to write a solo or concertante work for an instrument that a person is very familiar with. Whenever I encounter this situation, I always feel a certain reserve or prudence, or even apprehension about leaning toward facility, in terms of gestures. Lack of objectivity can result in the imagination being more instrumental than purely musical. However, when Benoît Cambreling came to me proposing that I write a concerto for timpani, I did not hesitate for an instant because this instrument possesses extraordinary and often under exploited musical potential. This percussion instrument often provides a type of harmonic and rhythmic base in the orchestra, but can also assume the role of a soloist. I began by writing an etude for solo timpani making use of glissandi, rhythmic inflections, as well as the melodic potential. Once this first step was completed, I began to 'orchestrate' the etude, or rather to extend the instrumental material into the orchestra by creating illusions of resonance, doublings, and echoes. Sometimes, the timpani also become a reservoir of ideas for the orchestra capable of triggering textures (as in instrumental electronic music). Here however, the instrument is above all treated in a melodic manner, reinforced, or not, by orchestral instruments that create a backdrop and the illusion of extension./ Répertoire / Timbales et Orchestre

Par PROKOFIEV SERGEI. The Russian ballet director Sergei Diaghilev commissioned many composers to write music for the theatre. This was what caused Serge Prokofiev to compose the four part Scytische Suite (also known as Ala and Lolli) in 1916, from which The Enemy God and the Dance of the Spirits can be heard on this CD. This suite is one of Prokofiev's first works, and received negative criticism following its first performance on account of its being 'uncivilised'. Prokofiev himself wrote after this first performance '. . . The timpani player beat the skin of the timpani to tatters, and the whole orchestra voiced a protest. A cellist complained that he only put up with the violence, createdby the blaring brass, on account of his sick wife and three children. . .

This work highlights the sounds of instruments that, through the ages, have related the spirit of humankind to the rhythms of life, the heartbeat of the earth, and the motion of history. The piece begins with a magical snare drum rhythm, which intensifies with added bass drum, cymbals, tam-tam, and timpani. The music progresses to a climactic, foot-stomping celebration of the drum! This piece is scored for eight snare drums, two cymbals, two small gong and tam-tam, bass drum, and timpani. / Percussions

In one form or another Hurricane Katrina affected all our lives. In the fall of 2005 the Mississippi Bandmasters Association commissioned Richard Saucedo to write this work for wind band. In the words of the composer this is“a tribute to those who lost their lives to those who saved lives and to those who continue to persevere in the aftermath...” A wealth of musical effects-from the timpani “heartbeat” to the fury of thestorm to the sense of determined optimism-all contribute to make this an unforgettable concert experience. Includes extensive percussion scoring as well as piano and optional harp. Dur: 6:00 (Includes Full Performance CD)

Parry wrote 'I was glad' for chorus with an organ accompaniment. There have been various orchestral arrangements but here Peter Lawson has endeavoured to produce an orchestration in the style that Parry himself might have employed. The Organ part is optional and serves to add depth at appropriate moments. Whilst a chorus part is published in this edition this orchestration is compatible with the original choral copy as published by Novello.Duration: 7 minutes Orchestration2 Flutes 2 Oboes 2 Clarinets in Bb 2 Bassoons 4 Horns in F 2 Trumpets in Bb 3 Trombones Tuba Timpani Percussion (Cymbals) Strings (Violin 1 Violin 2 Viola Cello Bass) Organ (optional)

Par SCHWARZ OTTO M.. Back to Track is a spectacular composition for ten brass instruments and timpani. Otto M. Schwarz composed an opening fanfare for the beginning, which can also be played as a short ‘teaser’ at festive events. A motif is treated through various rhythms and time signatures and leads to an epic finale, splendidly brought to life by the glorious timbres of the brass. / Date parution : 2022-07-20/ Répertoire / Ensemble de Cuivres et Percussion
