The texts of e. e. cummings are thoughtful and provoking. Following suit is this musical setting for a cappella voices and violin. The opening is charmingly hypnotic, preparing the listener's ear to hear the thoughts to come. Just the right amount of dissonance awakens the text and stimulates our senses. The conversation is further enhanced by the violin's expressive interjections. A truly artistic selection for advanced university and community choirs.

The prodigy Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1809-1847) composed the CONCERTO FOR VIOLIN No. 1 in D minor, MWV O 3, in 1822 when he was only 13. Written for Eduard Rietz, a dear friend and teacher, the concerto was forgotten, and after Mendelssohn died, his widow gifted the score to Mendelssohn's friend Ferdinand David. The work remained unknown until violin virtuoso Yehudi Menuhin, in 1951, was shown the manuscript by a London rate books dealer. Menuhin, realizing the opportunity he had, quickly bought the rights for the work from the Mendelssohn family, edited the concerto, then offered the first performance in well over 100 years at Carnegie Hall on February 4, 1952. While not as popular as Mendelssohn's VIOLIN CONCERTO in E minor, the work does find frequent performances. Reprint of the Renate Unger edition. String count of 8-8-5-5-5 in set.

At a 1923 concert dedicated to the music of J.S. Bach put on by the great violinist Joseph Szigeti, fellow violinist and composer Eugène Ysaÿe (1858-1931) was deeply moved and inspired, leading to a sketch produced in twenty-four hours for a cycle of six sonatas for unaccompanied violin, each modeled after the style of a different virtuoso, capturing something of each performer's style in the piece for whom it was written. The final result was Ysaÿe's Op. 27, Six Sonatas for Solo Violin. The work has remained immensely popular since it was composed, having been interpreted and recorded many times by the very best violinists of the past 100 years. Sonatas and dedicatees: 1. Sonata in G minor (Joseph Szigeti); 2. Sonata in A minor (Jacques Thibaud); 3. Sonata in D minor (George Enescu); 4. Sonata in E minor (Fritz Kreisler); 5. Sonata in G Major (Mathieu Crickboom); 6. Sonata in E Major (Manuel Quiroga). Reprint edition.

Wynwood Walls draws on 9 artworks which lend their titles to the 9 connected sections of the quintet. The music reflects and amplifies my own subjective responses to the artworks.The movements are organised in pairs, circling out from a still centre – No Woman, No Cry. The title for this centrepiece comes from Chris Ofili’s moving portrait of Doreen Lawrence, the mother of a teenager murdered in an unprovoked racist attack. As well as this specific reference, the artist intended the painting to be read as a universal portrayal of melancholy, solace, and grief. The two segments flanking No Woman, No Cry complete the central triptych. Edward Hopper’s Nighthawks explores loneliness and isolation, while Grayson Perry’s #Lamentation is a meditation on remembrance and the transience of life. In contrast to the rest of Wynwood Walls, the music here is dark and introspective.I want my time with you is a giant neon sign designed by Tracey Emin for St. Pancras Station, London. Selfie with Sunflowers is an essay written by Julian Barnes about our over-familiarisation with Van Gogh’s iconic sunflower paintings. The music is sentimental, bordering on schmaltz and kitsch. Sunflower Seeds and Infinity Room are a pair of moto perpetuo scherzos inspired by the minimalist installations of Ai Weiwei and Yayoi Kusama respectively. The opening section, Bathers at Asnières, suggests Seurat’s iconic painting, while the finale, Seurat’s Bathers, evokes Howard Hodgkin’s reworking of the Seurat using a blaze of vivid colours.The title of the quintet is borrowed from the Wynwood art district of Miami – an area characterised by the hundreds of colourful street murals which decorate the walls of old warehouses in the neighbourhood. In performance, the artworks can be projected onto a screen behind the ensemble.Wynwood Walls s'appuient sur 9 œuvres d'art dont les titres prêtent leurs noms aux 9 sections connectées du quintette. La musique reflète et amplifie mes propres réponses subjectives aux œuvres d'art.Les mouvements sont organisés par paires, émergeant d'un centre immobile - No Woman, No Cry. Le titre de cette pièce maîtresse provient du portrait émouvant de Chris Ofili de Doreen Lawrence, la mère d'un adolescent assassiné lors d'une attaque raciste gratuite. En plus de cette référence spécifique, l'artiste a voulu que le tableau soit perçu comme une représentation universelle de la mélancolie, du réconfort et du chagrin. Les deux segments flanquant No Woman, No Cry complètent le triptyque central. Nighthawks d'Edward Hopper explore la solitude et l'isolement, tandis que #Lamentation de Grayson Perry est une méditation sur le souvenir et la fugacité de la vie.

Selfie with Sunflowers est un essai écrit par Julian Barnes sur notre sur-familiarisation avec les peintures emblématiques de tournesols de Van Gogh. La musique est sentimentale, frôlant le kitsch et le sentimentalisme. Sunflower Seeds et Infinity Room sont une paire de scherzos moto perpetuo inspirés des installations minimalistes d'Ai Weiwei et de Yayoi Kusama respectivement. La section d'ouverture, Bathers at Asnières, suggère le tableau emblématique de Seurat, tandis que le finale, Seurat’s Bathers, évoque la réinterprétation de Seurat par Howard Hodgkin en utilisant une explosion de couleurs vives.Le titre du quintette est emprunté au quartier artistique de Wynwood à Miami - une zone caractérisée par les centaines de fresques murales colorées qui ornent les murs des vieux entrepôts du quartier. En performance, les œuvres d'art peuvent être projetées sur un écran derrière l'ensemble.

Premiering on May 22, 1813, at the Teatro San Benedetto in Venice, L'italiana in Algeri (The Italian Girl in Algiers) by Gioachino Rossini (1792-1868) was a success, with subsequent performances in Vicenza, Milan, and Naples. It was later performed at His Majesty's Theatre in London in 1819, and again in New York in 1832. Rossini's mixture of opera seria and opera buffa is notable — L'italiana in Algeri tells the tale of Isabella, an Italian girl who uses her wiles to trick unwitting Mustafà, the Bey of Algiers, into freeing her and her lover, Lindoro from his palace. The opera itself fell somewhat out of favor in the 19th century but has been revived frequently since World War II with many successful productions. The sorrowful cavatina Cruda sorte! Amor Tiranno! takes place in Act I, and serves as the introductory aria of Isabella, who finds herself shipwrecked in Algiers. The aria is preceded by the chorus Quanto Roba! Instrumentation: 2.2.2.2: 2.2.0.0: Str (4-4-3-3-3 in set): Solo Contralto: Mixed Chorus.

The three-act operetta LA RONDINE (The Swallow) by Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924) was first completed in 1916 and premiered at the Grand Théâtre de Monte Carlo on March 27, 1917. It tells the story of Magda, a Parisian courtesan, who is torn between more transactional love she has chosen and the romantic love of a wife with the young man Ruggero, whom she meets at a small house party of her protector Rambaldo, then again at a Paris nightspot. After leaving to live with Ruggero for some time, she flees back to Rambaldo when Ruggero proposes marriage, declaring that she cannot keep her past a secret and she will not allow her previous life to bring grief to both Ruggero and his parents. Never satisfied, Puccini revised the operetta in both 1920 and 1921, altering the ending each time, and he passed before he settled on the definitive version. The beautiful tenor aria PARIGI! È LA CITTÀ DEI DESIDERI (Paris! It is the city of desire) was not included in the original libretto and added by Puccini to give Ruggero, the romantic lead, something to do in the first act. While it does not move the plot forward, the aria does quickly endear listeners to the Ruggero character. The aria was later cut from the opera and is not usually heard in staged versions, although the music was used again with different text in Puccini's 1917 song MORIRE?, S. 89. This edition of the aria by Michael Kaye is from the second version (1920) of the opera.

Chinese mythology is a cultural heritage that has been passed down through the ages. It is full of bizarre andsupernatural artistic charm. Shan Hai Jing is like a history book, which contains many mythological stories depictingthousands of mountains and waters, geography and humanities, The Concerto for Orchestra Shan Hai Jing is using alarge scyle orchestra in multi-movements, inspired by the anceint supernatural aesthetics, and creates an imaginaryuniverse and human illusion with an abstract sound world. This work is not based on the story of the ancient gods, butbased on the geographical distribution of the Fivering Mountains, metaphorical waters, mountains range, folkcustoms, and rituals of the gods, depicting the north, west, east, south, and middle respectively in five movements. Thecharacteristics of the mountain system and the regional customs.The first movement, Beishan Jing (Largo) (page 1-30). In this movement, folk music elements such as the traditionalMongolian “Humai” and the traditional Tibetan “Bon’e’ri” are used to Ode the folk customs and heroism of the vastmountains and plains and different ethnic groups.The second movement, Xishan Jing (Allegro and Adagio) (page 31-52). The music of this movement has the westernstyle of Gansu and Qinghai Plateau.The third movement, Dongshan Jing (Adagio and Allegro) (page 53-86). The legend of great bells that ringspontaneously without being struck has origins in the ancient Classic of Mountains and Seas, in which we read:“Upon the Mountains of Plenty, Nine Bells ring with Knowledge of the Frost.”Tales of those blasts of wind that pulse like a heartbeat through caverns in the limestone cliffs, setting off a mysterioussympathetic ringing from bells encrusted in frost, led to “Frost-Bell” becoming a word during the Tang dynasty, almosta millennium after the Mountains and Seas classic first appeared.The fourth movement, Nanshan Jing (Adagio and Andante) (page 87-100) . The music is characterized by thewoodwinds and string harmonics texture depicting of the cloud mountain in the south of the Yangtze River, Fujian,Guangdong and Hunan.The fifth movement, Zhongshan Jing (Allegretto) (page 101-118) symbolizes the end of the ritual ceremony, which isroughly centered on the sacred place of Chu. The people danced together, waving flowers and hitting the bronze drums,just like sending the Divine Comedy, the scene is lively, the atmosphere is Solemn and lively.

Lindsay E. Stetner's Lighting the Dark was inspired by the work of Nikola Tesla. This piece was inspired by a documentary called Mysteries of the Abandoned, which featured the now abandoned laboratory. The most striking feature of the property is the nearly 200-foot tall Wardenclyffe Tower. His work with electricity and the Tesla coil has become an area of fascination in our quest for cleaner energy and electric cars. (3:50).

Count d'Ogny commissioned Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) to write three symphonies for the Concert de la Loge Olympique, which was then recognized as one of the finest orchestras in Europe. He completed the second of these, the SYMPHONY No. 91 in E flat major, Hob. I/91, in 1788. It received its premiere the next year in the Tuileries Palace gardens, mere months before King Louis XVI and his royal family came to live there under custody of the French Revolution. It is his last symphony to exclude trumpets and timpani, but stuffed with delicacies that would have appealed to its Parisian audience. Its graceful, ebullient character offers no hints of the hard misfortune that would soon fall on the aristocratic listeners who first enjoyed this charming work. Instrumentation: 1.2.0.2: 2.0.0.0: Str (4-4-3-2+2Vc Obligato-3 in set).

The writing of this piece arose from seeing Goya's painting Un pavo muerto an unadorned oil painting where a turkey and a wicker basket rest on an indistinct black background.Fantasizing about making a harpsichord fantasy (I wrote a double stave version of the piece), how to evoke and decline the sensations felt at the glance, musically? Through, I thought, the use of a particularly dark and passionate mode, culturally and emotionally akin to the tones and features of the great Spanish painter's painting. Unlike my usual type of writing, often susceptible to unexpected disturbances, I forced myself to use almost exclusively the notes of the modal scale in different combinations, and in the middle section of the piece to employ them by transforming them into brighter modes (to let some light filter through).A composition that also features some rather explicit moments of instrumental virtuosity, ideally thought of as possible offshoots of a hellish fandango.- Alfredo Franco, January 2024«L'écriture de cette pièce est née de la contemplation du tableau de Goya Un pavo muerto, une simple peinture à l'huile où une dinde et un panier en osier reposent sur un fond noir indistinct. En rêvant de composer une fantaisie pour clavecin (j'ai écrit une version à double portée de la pièce), comment évoquer et traduire musicalement les sensations ressenties au premier regard ? J'ai pensé que cela pourrait se faire en utilisant un mode particulièrement sombre et passionné, culturellement et émotionnellement proche des tons et des caractéristiques de la grande peinture espagnole du maître. Contrairement à mon style habituel, souvent sujet à des perturbations inattendues, je me suis imposé d'utiliser presque exclusivement les notes de la gamme modale dans différentes combinaisons, et dans la section centrale de la pièce, de les transformer en modes plus lumineux (pour laisser filtrer un peu de lumière).Une composition qui comporte également quelques moments assez explicites de virtuosité instrumentale, idéalement pensés comme des dérivations possibles d'un fandango infernal.»- Alfredo Franco, janvier 2024.

This composition in two distinct parts, of classical and baroque inspiration, evokes a stay in the beautiful Quercy region, in particular in Rocamadour.In the first movement, Confidence, it evokes stories, stories the tales of yesteryear shared in a peaceful and serene setting, like that of the landscapes calm and picturesque views around Rocamadour. The melody seems to whisper secrets offering an atmosphere that is both nostalgic and contemplative.Then, in the more rhythmic part, the Dance comes alive with energy.Its rhythm reflects the joyful and festive spirit of local traditions.We can imagine a lively dance, perhaps inspired by festivals and celebrations which take place in Rocamadour, where the music resonatesthrough the cobbled streets and old city walls.Cette composition en deux parties distinctes, d'inspirations classique et baroque,évoque un séjour dans la belle région quercynoise, en particulier à Rocamadour.Dans le premier mouvement, Confidence, celui-ci évoque les récits, les histoiresles contes d'antan partagés dans un cadre paisible et serein, comme celui des paysagescalmes et des vues pittoresques autour de Rocamadour.
