Beethoven, Ludwig vanLeonore Overture for Orchestra no. 3- The most popular of the ?Leonore? overtures- Based on the G. Henle Complete Edition of the ?Works of Ludwig van Beethoven?- Orchestral parts in an enlarged format (25.5 cm x 32.5 cm)Of the four overtures that Beethoven composed for his only opera, the ?Leonore Overture? No. 3 is the most popular. The first reviewer found fault with it for its ?incessant dissonances and overblown fluttering of the violins? (Wiener Theater-Zeitung, 1806), but it soon became famous as ?one of the most imposing, difficult, yet richest and strangest of compositions? (Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung, 1810). This version of the ?Leonore Overture? quickly established itself independently of the stage in the concert hall and has found a lasting place in the symphonic repertoire.The editor has devoted herself to the complex genesis of the various ?Leonore Overture? versions, in particular the question whether the trumpet call in measures 272?277 and 294?299 should be played by one or two instruments. The edition is based on the Complete Edition of the ?Works of Ludwig van Beethoven? issued by the G. Henle publishing company. / Grand format / Barenreiter

Facsimile of the autograph score in the British Library, London. Par HAENDEL GEORG FRIEDRICH. The first performance of George Frideric Handel’s oratorio “Messiah” on 13 April 1742 in Dublin aroused unqualified rapture. A newspaper report a few days later declared that it combined “the Sublime, the Grand, and the Tender”. Its success has remained undiminished ever since, and the “Messiah” has taken its place in musical life. In 2009, to mark the 250th anniversary of Handel’s death, the British Library and Bärenreiter joined forces and made the autograph score of the “Messiah” available to the public in a meticulously reproduced, lavishly published facsimile. The renowned Handel scholar Donald Burrows introduces the characteristics of Handel’smanuscript, describes the history of the work’s composition, and explains the differences between later versions of the “Messiah”, as reflected in the conducting scores. A two-page sketch from the Fitzwilliam Museum Cambridge completes the publication. Facsimile of the autograph in the British Library. 282 + 2 pages of facsimile and 55 pages of introduction (English/German/Japanese) half-linen, hardback / Oratorio / Répertoire / Divers

Carl Maria von Weber's fame rests mainly on ?Der Freischütz'. The unprecedented success of this opera overshadowed all his other works and contributed to their increasing fall into oblivion. Certain works such as ?Preciosa', ?Oberon', and ?Euryanthe', the overtures, solo concertos and piano sonatas, the lieder and chamber works enjoyed great popularity and were widely known in Germany and abroad as late as the second half of the 19th century. However, any chance of a revival of Weber's influential and substantial oeuvre was wasted in the 1920s, when a complete edition - begun by Hans Joachim Moser and with potential contributors including Wilhelm Kempff, Hans Pfitzner, Max von Schillings, Fritz Stein and Richard Strauss - failed after the third volume.Ever since there have been numerous attempts to restart a complete edition of Weber's works, but as this kind of project would have required the co-operation of scholars from both sides of the inter-German border, the political situation after 1945 was not conducive to any such enterprise. Careful negotiations led to the first tangible steps in the 1980s. The intention, right from the beginning, was to place Weber's work in context, and not to separate his musical output from his influential work as a writer, critic and organiser in the musical field, but to publish his compositions together with his letters, diaries and other literary output as the best way to document the cross-fertilisation between his musical, literary and practical activities.Since the German re-unification both working-parties concerned - at the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, and at the Musikwissenschaftliches Seminar, Detmold/Paderborn - have co-operated on the complete edition of the musical works (c. 45 volumes in 10 series: sacred music - cantatas, odes and other occasional works - stage works - lieder and vocal works - orchestral works - chamber music - music for piano - piano reductions - miscellanea, arrangements and orchestrations - works of doubtful attribution). The diaries (6-8 vols.) are edited in Berlin and the letters (8-10 vols.) and other writings (2 vols.) in Detmold. This complete edition aims to be a reliable basis of scholarly debate as well as for the authentic performance practice of Carl Maria von Weber's music. Conforming to the standards of recent historico-critical editions, the textual material will be based on all available authentic sources, accompanied by a detailed documentation of the genesis and a list of variants for each work. The musicological importance of the works will be evaluated by placing them in their historical context, the presentation of their genesis, history and Critical Commentaries. The letters, writings and diaries will be treated as inter-related and relevant to each other in the commentaries, therefore readers should benefit from a wealth of concise information and cross-references. / Score

Par PEPIN CAMILLE. Lorsque l'on m'a demandé d'écrire une ouverture pour la série 'Roulement de timbales', j'ai immédiatement eu à l'esprit quelque chose de vaste et puissant. J'ai alors pensé à la récente découverte de Laniakea, ce superamas de galaxies comptant parmi les plus grandes structures de l'Univers. Découvert en 2014 par Hélène Courtois (1), Laniakea signifie 'paradis céleste incommensurable' en hawaïen. A l'intérieur de ce superamas, les galaxies sont en mouvement et convergent vers un même point appelé le Grand Attracteur. Il faut imaginer des courants de galaxies dont toute la matière se déverse au même endroit - comme au coeur d'une vallée - à une vitesse folle de 630 km/s. Immensité, mouvement, vitesse, lumière... ont été les mots qui m'ont guidée en composant. Ce scénario d'un horizon céleste si grand est une source d'inspiration foisonnante de couleurs pour mon imaginaire d'orchestratrice ! J'ai donc eu l'envie de trouver des résonances musicales à ce monde fascinant de l'infiniment grand. Comme la Symphonie n°103 de Haydn, Laniakea s'ouvre sur un roulement de timbales. Il reviendra durant la pièce sous différents formes : parfois 'à nu', parfois en fond sonore ou encore en relais avec la grosse caisse. Laniakea se présente comme une fresque cosmique articulée en trois épisodes précédés d'une introduction et achevés par une coda. Puissante et majestueuse, l'introduction présente un thème aux cuivres et aux cloches sur un roulement de timbales. Les cordes constituent un 'mur du son' résonnant et vibrant. La matière se transforme progressivement. Les bois se fondent dans les cordes et deviennent liquides. Le thème de cuivres se déployant sur cette texture miroitante devient de plus en plus doux, finit par se dissoudre et laisse place à la lumière. La première grande partie commence par un motif de hautbois, glockenspiel et harmoniques de cordes aiguës : autant de particules lumineuses tentant de percer dans ce ciel immense. Le vibraphone et les bois créent une nappe réverbérante et contribuent à donner à ce passage une couleur céleste et scintillante. La texture devient plus rythmique avec la naissance d'un motif tournoyant et répétitif aux altos. Dans cet épisode hypnotique, le thème de l'introduction est rappelé aux cloches et aux cors. Il s'intensifie. La matière se répand. Glockenspiel et harmoniques - touches lumineuses - sont nimbés de vent stellaire avec le roulement de cymbale suspendue. Un thème plus lyrique et envoûtant apparaît aux violoncelles. Il sera présenté avec différentes couleurs en passant aux violons puis aux altos. L'apparition du glissando mib-ré aux trombones est un signal : nous passons progressivement dans la seconde partie. Le motif rythmique s'éteint et la matière devient de plus en plus nébuleuse. Dans cette partie plus sombre, ce demi-ton est omniprésent : glissé aux cors, en harmoniques chez les cordes, plaintif chez les bois. Ici, j'ai voulu exprimer le mystère de ce Grand Attracteur, de ce glissement vertigineux de matière happée par le vide. Les amas en apesanteur deviennent de plus en plus épais et s'enrichissent. La matière finit par gronder et donne naissance à un passage flottant, brumeux et plus lyrique. Une quinte grave et mystérieuse aux trombones annonce la fin de cette partie. Les trompettes nous rappellent le thème de cuivres de l'introduction. A leurs impulsions correspondent des échos dans les bois - comme la queue d'une étoile filante qui brille encore après son passage. Le dernier épisode est une danse cosmique lumineuse et festive, teintée de couleurs célestes. J'ai imaginé un ballet hypnotique de nuées d'étoiles nimbées de poussière stellaire. Pour créer ce halo lumineux, j'ai animé les fonds par des croches répétées en guise de tenues et de légers soufflets pour leur donner de la vie. En composant, j'ai également eu à l'esprit certaines textures des jeux d'orgue. Cette danse est basée sur un motif rythmique en boucle qui voyage entre les groupes : un ballet étourdissant et hypnotique d'étoiles se déplaçant à des vitesses hallucinantes. Il aboutit à un premier climax lyrique et flamboyant. Un dernier pas de deux d'étoiles se poursuit et exulte en s'embrasant dans un grand crescendo de lumière. Un roulement de timbales soudain nous ramène à l'immensité et la puissance initiales. Cette grande coda nous rappelle que Laniakea est un horizon céleste immense que nous ne pouvons appréhender. Au loin, la lumière s'éteint progressivement. La matière se désagrège et finit par se perdre dans l'espace. Camille Pepin / Date parution : 2020-08-21/ Répertoire / Orchestre
