Par COLERIDGE-TAYLOR SAMUEL. Danse Nègre, from the African Suite by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, arranged for flute choir by Paige Dashner Long. Coleridge spent his childhood in Croydon, Surrey, England, where he studied violin with his grandfather and also sang in the church choir. At 15, he was accepted to the Royal College of Music, where during his second year, he changed his major from violin to composition. At the age of 20, he met the African-American poet Paul Laurence Dunbar, who encouraged him to focus on his African heritage. As a result, Coleridge composed his African Suite for piano in 1898, each of the four movements depicting different African experiences. / Date parution : 2022-11-29/ Répertoire / Ensemble de Flûtes

For Sophie Dufeutrelle Professor of Flute at the Ecole Nationale de Musique de Villeurbanne an intense pedagogical activity goes hand in hand with composition an area in which she has received several commissions from esteemed soloists such as Maxence Larrieu and Philippe Bernold. Written in 2002 for a Flute Orchestra of around 20 instruments (from the Piccolo to the Octobass) Marine belongs to a tradition cherished by painters since the 16th century: the maritime landscape. The 1st movement (Mist) opens onto a lengthy section largely dedicated to improvisation in the spirit of Walter Thompson’s soundpainting: using fingermovements the conductor signs to the musicians the type of motif (calm sea swell whistling buoys seagulls and fishing boats) that will insert itself ad libitum between two lines of waves. The 2nd movement more traditional floats a Song of heartbreaking melancholy followed by a light lively Dance that swirls the heart into joyful eddies. Written for intermediate-level flautists (with one part reserved for beginners) this piece with its variety of atmospheres concludes on a high note – in the joy of making music together!

Par LEMMENS JACQUES-NICOLAS. Fanfare by Belgian composer Jacques-Nicolas Lemmens, arranged for Flute Choir by Matt Johnston. Jacques-Nicolas Lemmens (1823?1881) is a composer unfamiliar to most, unless you happen to be either an organist, or a Belgian (or a Belgian organist!). At the age of 26, he was appointed organ teacher at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels with two of his most accomplished students being Alexandre Guilmant and Charles-Marie Widor. In 1879 he founded a school for church music in Mechelen, Belgium, which would later bear his name upon moving to Leuven in 1968. The Lemmensinstituut has since broadened its curriculum beyond church music and is a prominent, award-winning music conservatory. This Fanfare of Lemmens is an organ piece popular to play as a postlude or as a wedding recessional. / Date parution : 2022-11-29/ Répertoire / Ensemble de Flûtes

Par VERDI GIUSEPPE. Othello (or Otello) is an opera in four acts composed by Giuseppe Verdi, premiered in February 1887. As was customary at the time, a short ballet sequence was composed for the opera, to be inserted into Act III, just prior to the entrace of Lodovico, ambassador to the Venetian Republic. When Verdi sent the original manuscript to his publisher Ricordi, he included this detailed description of the scenario: 'Looking at the splendid, colonnaded scene of the Third Act, I decided to make the music go as follows: At the very beginning, to the sound of horns, a group of Turkish slave-girls dance with reluctance and ill-humor because of the very fact they are slaves. Then, hearing the strains of the Arab Song, they grow livelier and at the end dance quite wildly... At the Invocation to Allah, they all fall to the ground... Just then a group of beautiful Greek girls appears among the columns, and four measures later another similar group; at the thirteenth measure these two groups join in a quiet, aristocratic, classical dance. The next motif is that of La Muranese, which heralds the appearance of a 'group' (!) of Venetians... Eight measures later, another group of Venetians enters and at the eighteenth measure (fortissimo) these two groups meet and dance at the front of the stage. After the fortissimo there is a passage of very light music in F-sharp, which should be danced by couples. This motif is repeated, louder, and then all the Venetians dance together. The 6/8 motif reappears, and here I should like to see another group of Venetians come forward. The War Song should be danced by men alone. At the recurrence of the first motif, all the Venetians dance again, then at the più mosso, Venetians, Turks, Greeks, and the rest all dance together... Amen.' / Date parution : 2022-11-29/ Répertoire / Ensemble de Flûtes

Richard Rodgers' My Favorite Things from the Sound of Music arranged for Flute Ensemble.

Le projet ' Histoire du Jazz en France ', a réuni pendant trois années un grand nombre de chercheurs, dans et hors l'université, en France et à l'étranger. Plusieurs rencontres ont permis de confronter les points de vue et de préciser ce que pourrait être une histoire générale du jazz en France. Ce premier volume réunit les plus significatifs des travaux issus de ces débats.Quatre champs complémentaires se sont dégagés. Le premier est chronologique?: les années 1920, particulièrement fécondes pour la réflexion. Qu'il s'agisse de l'effet d'étrangeté provoqué par l'orchestre militaire de James Reese Europe, de la danse, du rôle de ' Bricktop ' sur la scène parisienne, du lien au jazz d'un écrivain comme Pierre Mac Orlan ou des relations à la France de l'orchestre anglais le plus célèbre de l'époque, celui de Jack Hylton, cette décennie apparaît bien comme celle de toutes les naissances, d'un intense foisonnement créé par l'irruption du nouveau-né. Médiateurs et médiations ensuite?: le jazz ne s'est pas seulement imposé par ses musiciens mais par tous ceux qui l'ont fait connaître. Outre des réflexions sur la nature de ces médiations et sur les rapports du jazz et de la philosophie, on retrouve la radio sous l'Occupation et l'action d'Hugues Panassié, Charles Delaunay, Boris Vian ou Sim Copans. La musique et les musiciens ne sont pas pour autant oubliés. Django Reinhardt, André Hodeir, Bernard Peiffer, Barney Wilen, Michel Petrucciani, Martial Solal en premier lieu, mais aussi les grandes formations de l'après-Deuxième Guerre mondiale. Les régions enfin?: la France ne se réduit pas à Paris, même si la capitale attire la lumière avec un naturel toujours renouvelé. La tâche est ardue, tant les traces sont rares, les sources réduites. Elle est ici abordée pour la Bourgogne, la région lilloise et Marseille. Premier volume de la collection ' Jazz en France ' , cet ouvrage se propose de poser des jalons, d'ouvrir des pistes nombreuses pour une histoire plus vaste, encore à écrire. / Livre
