Par COHEN JONATHAN. Springtide Exaltation for Flute and Piano by Jonathan Cohen. From the composer: 'Springtide Exaltation recalls scampering out of the house into the colors of a promising spring day, reveling in the new warmth, the fresh green appearing on the trees, the exploits of a carefree weekend. Out in nature, we sit in a favorite spot and, closing our eyes, slip into a reverie, the sun and slight breeze nearly coaxing us to sleep. Then, first quietly, then building, we are roused by the voice of adventure; we jump up and sprint with joy, our best friend at our side, into the boundless possibilities of a newborn season.' / Date parution : 2022-11-29/ Répertoire / Flûte et Piano

Par ROZMAN ANZE. Anže Rozman's Waking of the Green Spring (Prebujanje zelene pomladi) draws together Impressionism and Minimalism as it paints an image of the titular spring erupting to life. The piece opens with the four flutes painting a mysterious running texture based in whole tones, swelling and fading in turns. The central slower section creates an almost reverent choral sound with large blocks of chords, building again into the opening textures but colored with more complex melodies and staccato runs. The work ends with a gentle spring dreamscape.Anže Rozman's Waking of the Green Spring (Prebujanje zelene pomladi) draws together Impressionism and Minimalism as it paints an image of the titular spring erupting to life.

The new 2018 Edition of John Høybye's The Slow Spring from 1977. Dedicated to Thomas Morley in memory of his beautifuland optimistic madrigal “Now is the Month of Maying” The Slow Spring is a short and unusual choral setting of the writing of Tom Kristensen impatiently yearning for the coming of Spring. Kristensen's evocative and stirring poetry translated to English by Martin Allwood are employed as both song and accompaniment as the choral group is split into two factions. An set of SATB soloists are set against an SSAA chorus to provide a compelling variety of textures and the plosivepossibilities of the words themselves are fully explored with whispers held vowels and dramatic percussive consonants.

Spring has finally arrived. The days grow longer, birds prepare to nest, trees turn green and plants begin to bloom as nature wakes up from her winter sleep. This, and the fact that the composer's third grandson was born in the spring, were the inspiration for Spring Song.

Edgar Knecht is a jazz pianist who has created his own unique style. His début CD, 'Good Morning Lilofee? (with four-piece combo), conquered the clubs and earned him invitations to international festivals. His treatment of the original melodies is refreshingly different from standard jazz arrangements: It is characterized by a free perception of the tunes, varied rhythms as well as unconventional harmonies. The same recipe for success underlies his second CD, 'Dance On Deep Waters?, with which the Edgar Knecht Quartet is again going on tour, with many gigs lined up for spring and summer.All eight of the songs in our edition offer agreeable and stimulating literature outside the classical and jazz pigeonholes for pianists everywhere, whether or not they dig German folksongs. Familiar tunes such as 'Es freit der wilde Wassermann? or 'Die Gedanken sind frei? gain a wholly new quality and pizzazz in his arrangements. Though based on the original songs, the pieces go far beyond them in form, harmony and rhythm, thereby turning the originals into top-quality jazz ballads. All the pieces have suggestions for improvised passages, usually with chords and written-out ostinato bass lines.All the pieces are recorded on the like-named CD with Edgar Knecht at the piano, accompanied by his trio of bass, drums and percussion.- Eight songs for piano- Appealing literature- Ad lib improvised partsContentsLilofee, Gedankenfreiheit (Freedom of Thought), Tiefe Wasser (Deep Waters), Nachttraum (Dream at Night), Fenjas Lullaby, Schwesterlein (Little Sister), Frühling (Spring), Wiegenlied (Cradle Song)The AuthorEdgar Knecht lives in Kassel (Germany), where he heads a piano school and tours with his combo. Since the age of 14 he has held concerts with his own piano pieces and written many theatre, film and TV scores. With his Edgar Knecht Trio he transforms German folksongs into fascinating jazz ballads with which he fills his programmes and venues. / Piano
