Par VAUGHAN WILLIAMS RALPH. Nouvelle édition de l'ouvrage classique de Vaughan Williams, arrangés pour violon et piano pour violon solo et orchestre ou piano Cette romance sereine est l'un de Vaughan Williams les plus durables des oeuvres populaires. Empruntant son titre d'un poème de George Meredith, la musique évoque parfaitement l'alouette 'gazouillement, un sifflet, insulte, et secouer. Cette édition magnifiquement présenté de nouvelles du score violon et piano comprend une préface de Michael Kennedy. Au cours des cinquante années écoulées depuis sa mort, Vaughan Williams est venu à être considéré comme l'un des meilleurs compositeurs britanniques du 20e siècle. Il dispose d'un catalogue particulièrement vaste d'oeuvres, y compris les oeuvres chorales, symphonies, concertos et opéras. Ses recherches et son imagination visionnaire, combiné avec une flexibilité dans l'écriture pour tous les niveaux de la création musicale, a signifié que sa musique est aussi populaire aujourd'hui qu'il l'a jamais été. / Niveau : Moyennement Difficile à Difficile / Recueil / Violon

Par VAUGHAN WILLIAMS RALPH. Of all his early chamber works, the 'Nocturne' is most clearly by the mature Vaughan Williams, almost anticipating the influence of Ravel which followed his lessons from the French composer in 1908. In the veiled beauty of its highly chromatic harmonies we hear already the tone-poet of the slow movement of 'A London Symphony', while in the fleet-footed 'Scherzo' there is already a French influence in the way the folk-song is subtly woven into the texture, only brief snatches of the tune being heard until the penultimate page when it receives fuller treatment. The work plays for about 10 minutes. The 1904 'Scherzo' is a vigorous march with fugal episodes which lasts some 6 minutes and may effectively be performed by itself./ Répertoire / Trio ou Quatuor à Cordes

Par VAUGHAN WILLIAMS RALPH. Quartet in C Minor is in four movements with a total duration of about 25 minutes. The opening Allegro is Dvorák-ish in its lyricism, though there is a darker, more brooding atmosphere towards the close. It is tempting to detect a hint of folk-song in the theme of the Andantino, played by the Viola, but that may be stretching hindsight too far. The movement has a wistful melancholy that carries over into the following Intermezzo, a song-like episode containing some of the most virtuosic writing in the work. The last movement is a theme and six variations with a fugal ending. The theme is ballad-like with a suggestion of 18th-century elegance. Modality creeps into the second Adagio variation and there is rhythmic exhilaration in the succeeding Presto. What can be admired in this attractive quartet is its conciseness. This String Quartet was his first major composition of any kind. / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Répertoire / Quatuor à Cordes
