Melodrama for Narrator, Children's Choir and Ten Instruments. Gualtierro Dazzi: The texts underlying these fragments are passages from a long poem by Armand Gatti entitled L'Enclos. Through memories, this long poetic narrative recounts the course of a generation that strove to resist against the rise of fascism in the 1930s Europe. This resistance often led them to the concentration camps and, for most of them, to death.Thanks to the great emotional intensity of his poetic writing, Armand Gatti makes us share his grief for the loss of some dear friends who were barely 20 years old.The fragments selected for the children's choir are moments where poetry becomes more distant, as if lost and suspended in its own beauty. The white voices embody those terrible memories by vanishing into an angelic sphere. The work is a melodrama for narrator, children's choir and small instrumental ensemble. Thus, the poem is to be read, accompanied by the instrumental music and placed in between the choral parts.This project is dedicated to the memory of Jean Moulin, prefect of Eure-et-Loir, leader of the Resistance movement, for his antifascist struggle.

The fifteenth full Opera from the prolific Hans Werner Henze, and the first to feature a self-penned libretto. After the poems he wrote for his Songs from the Arabian, Henze has produced this unusal tale through adapting both Arab and Persian legends and invoking the same half-real, half-imaginary Arabia as the song cycle. The story itself is a fairy tale comedy with much in common with The Magic Flute. The orchestral arrangement is huge, featuring quadruple wind, five percussionists and a part for tape.

L'Orfeo is an opera from 1607, based around the legend of Orpheus and Eurydice. It is often cited as the earliest opera still regularly performed today. The libretto was written by the Italian lawyer anddiplomat Alessandro Striggio (1573-1630), for a carnival in Mantua. The music was composed by the Italian priest Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643), arguably the greatest composer of the Renaissance era, who is bestknown for his madrigals as well as his sacred works such as the Vespers.
The Choruses From L'Orfeo have been edited by the Italian composer, musicologist and editor Gian Francesco Malipiero(1882-1973).
