(Included with the score are the organ and the piano part (there's available a pack with 20 copies of the parts for the chorus). In case the work is to be performed by more than 20 singers it will be necessary to purchase additional copies of the chorus parts, wich are available in packs of 20 copies).On 11th March 1911, the great pianist and composer Enric Granados performed this piece as an absolute premiere at Barcelona's modernista concert hall Palau de la Música Catalana.In spite of the great success achieved on the day of the premiere by this ambitious work for piano, organ and three choirs whose words in Catalan were provided by an unknown writer, the piece was never again performed or published. Its manuscript was assumed to be lost for decades and it was even thought that it might have been burnt in a fire. Finally, the pianist and Granados specialist Douglas Riva recovered it and offered it to Boileau Editorial de Música for publication.El Cant de les estrelles was performed once again on 22nd March 2007, 96 years after its first performance, in New York's Ascension Church, with Douglas Riva himself at the piano and Dennis Keene conducting. / Choeur Et Piano

Confiée à des enseignants du secondaire et à des universitaires, la revue Musicologies nouvelles prépare aux épreuves de musique du baccalauréat. S'appuyant sur l'oeuvre de référence, les candidats doivent établir une comparaison et un élargissement vers d'autres ouvrages et ce, dans toutes les séries. De ce fait, chaque dossier comporte : l'analyse de l'oeuvre au programme ; un ou deux textes autour de cette oeuvre ; une analyse comparée ainsi qu'une fiche de synthèse, en grande partie écrite à partir des textes du dossier.

Ensuite, travailler sur les textes ainsi que sur la fiche d'analyse comparée avant de revenir enfin sur la fiche de synthèse.

Voici un traité de contrepoint rigoureux mettant en oeuvre les principes de base de l'écriture tonale. Les règles en vigueur, en accord avec celles de l'harmonie, sont intégrées au contrepoint d'espèce. Nous nous éloignons donc du contrepoint modal dont traitent de nombreux ouvrages et entrons de plain-pied dans le monde usuel de la tonalité. Comme chez Fux, l'apprentissage se fonde ici sur le jeu des espèces. Mais l'exercice est remanié de sorte que la pratique d'une espèce se trouve intégrée à la suivante. Au total, l'on compte cinq espèces combinant graduellement différentes valeurs de note, auxquelles se greffent au passage les emprunts tonaux aux degrés les plus forts. Après un chapitre consacré à l'étude du contrepoint renversable, on trouvera de nombreux Cantus Firmus, spécifiques aux espèces ! Le volume propose également plusieurs exemples tirés du répertoire mettant en lumière les aspects fondamentaux du langage tonal.Sous la supervision du maître, l'étudiant doit découvrir la progression harmonique suggéré par le Cantus Firmus, la noter sous la portée, et composer un contrepoint fondé sur les principes de complémentarité des contours, de fluidité syntaxique et de conduite des voix précisés dans le volume. Les règles claires et concises l'amènent à comprendre les bases de l'écriture contrapuntique tonale. De ce fait, l'apprentissage du contrepoint peut se faire en symbiose avec celui de l'harmonie puisque leurs fondements sont les mêmes. / Formation Musicale

The Melakarta System-Elements of Indian Music introduces the Indian melodic system in an accessible manner within the realm of Western music theory. It demonstrates a new archetype in music composition for composers of any genre aswell as composition teachers and anyone interested in ethnomusicology. This book contains a set of 12 etudes for piano and transcriptions for classical guitar. Each etude is about one minute in length and utilizes notesfrom a particular Indian scale. An intermediate to advanced skill level is required to perform each etude. Practicing and performing these studies is an excellent way to expand one?s musical perspective beyond traditionaldiatonic scales. Indian music has intrigued the West for a long time but hasn?t always been accessible because of the absence of a systematic approach to theory and repertoire. Just as the Western harmonic system iswell developed the Indian melodic system is very advanced and equally established. The intermingling of these two worlds can inspire new exceptional sonic landscapes. Useful literature on the evolution of the Indianmelodic system is also included with notes on how it can be used as a modus operandi by Western musicians who wish to apply Indian scales in Western compositions and improvisations. Includes access to online audio.
