for Violoncello and Piano-After the great success of his Élégie (HN 563) Fauré?s publisher Hamelle urged him to write another similarly effective piece for cello and piano. Papillon was probably already composed in 1884 though it was only published in1898. Whereas Fauré just wanted to call it ?Piece for violoncello? his publisher insisted on a more evocative title and ultimately succeeded in giving it its present name (meaning ?butterfly?). But Fauré is said to have beenindignant remarking: ?Butterfly or dung fly use whatever you want?. The success of the work proved Hamelle right Papillon is today just as popular with cellists as the Élegie and is now available as a Henle Urtext edition.

With a sound similar to the pop hits of the 1960s this upbeat tune was recording by Cee Lo Green and also performed on the TV show Glee by Gwyneth Paltrow. Paul's effective chart for young players features a tenor soloist in the beginning then joined by the entire sax section. The brass get their chance and a modulation kicks things into high gear to finish up.

This setting of the opening to Psalm 102 was composed in the early 1680s. Purcell who was in his early twenties had succeeded John Blow as organist of Westminster Abbey around the beginning of the decade and his star was in the ascendant as a court composer.In this piece he pulls off a remarkable compositional coup: a single gradual climax lasting over two minutes and culminating on the final repetition of the word 'come' is achieved through a sublime freely developing eight-part weave of the opening material. The harmonies that result from the chromatic inflections on the word 'crying' all serve the mounting tension in this extraordinary miniature.Studyof the autograph manuscript suggest that this anthem was intended to be the opening part of a larger work which was never completed.

Recorded by Cee Lo Green but also featured on the TV show Glee (sung by Gwyneth Paltrow) this infectious tune is written in a style reminiscent of '60s Motown. John Berry's arrangement is solidly scored for beginning bands and requires no solos.

Douze Cahiers D'Etudes Revues, Annotées et Doigtées Par Mathieu Crickboom. Par CRICKBOOM MATHIEU. The masters of the violin have left us an inheritance of numerous books of remarkable studies and caprices. But the very abundance of this precious inheritance makes that an important part of it remains without profit, because it is impossible for the pupils to acquire or study these few thousands studies scattered in fifty big volumes. Very frequently, however, these studies are not classified in a progressive manner. Result of an inspiration which the pedagogical spirit could not always dominate or guide as it liked to, the first studies address themselves sometimes to the pupils who conjugate yet their first shifts with the most easy bow strokes, while the last are always of transcendent difficulty. Whatever be the chosen studies, once the first step is sourmounted, the pupils must do great efforts to realize imperfectly and in divided movements, difficulties which are beyond them. The result of this is: a considerable loss of time and sometimes even much discouragement. It follows at all events, that instead of practising fifty or sixty caprice studies in one year's time, the pupils can hardly study thirty. It is the desire to remedy these multiple inconveniences, that has incited us to realize the present work and in order to accomplish it to search in the greatest works of the masters, the elements the most apt to insure rapidly to the young violinists, the most complete mecanism of the left hand and bow. These exceedingly numerous and diverse elements chosen in the old editions, have been re-examined, fingered and sometimes the nuances (shades) set by us, with the most care and then classified by degrees from the second to the eight year of study in a progressive manner. These books of studies will not bear their fruits however, unless the work is regulated from the second to the fifth year of teaching, by a good method and appropriated exercises. The studies cannot in reality during this period, replace neither a method nor the exercises, they have to be considered rather as an amplified rehearsal of elements learned elsewhere but still badly assimilated./ Méthode / Violon
