Par MATTHEWS COLIN. Colin Matthews’s Turning Point (2006) represents a bold stylistic breakthrough for its composer. Out of a whirring, motoric scherzo comes a jolting sea change: an austere, glacial string chorale of searing intensity that, with gritty resilience, gradually comes to overwhelm everything else. Commissioned by the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, this 25-minute journey from complex momentum to expressive simplicity displays all the ingenious craft we have come to expect from Matthews, together with a new-found emotional directness.   / Scores / Répertoire / Orchestre

Study score format 22 5 x 16 5cm.Like Dvorákâ??s third and fourth quartets (in D major and E minor respectively) String Quartet No.2 In B-Flat Major was probably composed between 1868 and 1870 when the young and still inexperienced composer was openly responding to stimuli from his musical surroundings and excitedly adopting new compositional techniques. All three quartets were long considered lost; it was even said that Dvorák destroyed them. But copies of the parts resurfaced in the archive of the Prague Conservatory and have served as the principal source for this new publication.This edition presents the musical text fromthe â??Anton n Dvorák Complete Editionâ? together with a new foreword by Hartmut Schick.- Musical text based on the â??Anton n Dvorák Complete Editionâ? volume IV/5.- New foreword by Hartmut Schick (Ger/Cz/Eng).- Parts available BA9540.

Suk, Josef Meditation on the Old Czech Hymn St Wenceslas for String Quartet op. 35a Josef Suk played second violin in the Bohemian String Quartet. Since 1914 the ensemble was obliged to perform the Austrian national anthem at the opening of every concert. Suk decided to supplement this obligatory piece with a work inspired by the ancient sacred Bohemian 'St. Wenceslas' hymn. The hymn's message ' a plea for the well-being of the Czech people, directed at their patron saint ' was immediately understood by the audience. The Bohemian String Quartet performed this single-movement Meditation for the first time on 27 September 1914; the premiere of the version for string orchestra followed on 22 November 1914, played by the Czech Philharmonic. That same year the piece was published by Fr. A. Urbánek together with arrangements for piano and organ. This first Urtext edition, prepared by the Suk scholar Zdenek Nouza, is published in two scorings, one for string quartet (BA 9583; study score TP 583) and another for string orchestra (BA 9584). The orchestral version differs in some details and has an added part for double bass. ' First Urtext edition Edition no.

Création 30/11/2012 - Cologne (Allemagne), Philharmonie - Nicolas Hodges (piano), WDR sinfonieorchester Köln, Ilan Volkov (direction) Commanditaire Westdeutscher Rundfunk Köln Dédicace à Nicolas Hodges Notice Le titre de ce concerto est emprunté à l'ouvrage classique de l'archéologue et philologue américaine Emily Dickinson Townsend Vermeule, Aspects of Death in Early Greek Art and Poetry (1979). Le chapitre V s'intitule : On the Wings of the Morning : the Pornography of Death. Il s'agit de cas de mort subite, de disparitions soudaines, du rapt des mâles par quelque femme-oiseau ou femme-lion - Harpies, Sphinges ou Sirènes -, créatures monstrueuses dont l'attrait est fatal. Les adorateurs de Dionysos ont souvent remarqué l'aisance et la grâce provocante de ces enjôleuses qu'un geste de brusque sauvagerie rapproche tout de même de la panthère. Pour la victime éblouie, l'envolée vers les cimes culmine en une étreinte funeste. Un battement d'ailes, une jonchée d'ossements, tel est le tableau de la pornographie de la mort. On the wings of the morning est une allusion aux incertitudes du temps présent, à ses Furies modernes. Ce concerto pour piano ne recherche pas l'effet pittoresque et n'a pas de caractère illustratif. L'évocation des bacchantes de l'Hadès est simplement l'occasion d'une fantasmagorie du demi-jour où les ombres jouent sur les surfaces tendues. L'orchestre se comporte comme une masse tumultueuse dont la dynamique conflictuelle est dominante. L'association des pupitres de clarinettes et de trombones, conçue comme un matériau paradoxal, donne sa tonalité d'ensemble à l'oeuvre : amères présences, prosaïsme lugubre, voûtes sans écho. Le temps n'est plus qu'un écheveau de moments transitoires. Le pianiste se trouve dans la situation du forçat des Palmiers Sauvages de Faulkner, condamné à pagayer sur le Mississippi en crue. Le Déluge, les apparitions démoniaques, le vent, le froid font son ordinaire. Sa tâche est de coudoyer les abîmes. L'esprit de ce piano n'est ni constructiviste ni combinatoire. C'est un esprit de survie, concentré sur l'intensification du matériau et la plasticité du mouvement. Commande de la Westdeutscher Rundfunk de Cologne, ce concerto pour piano et grand orchestre est dédié à Nicolas Hodges. Hugues Dufourt

Orchestra Scores-Saint Francois D'Assise is an opera in 3 acts by Olivier Messiaen. This volume is part of the edition that includes the books with the full Orchestra scores as well as the explanations analysis and comments of each tableau. It is focused on the “Act 1 Tableau 2. Les laudes” which tells of the moment when Saint Francis his requests to God to meet a leper and to be able to love him. This tableau depicts Saint Francis and the “Mineurs Brothers” singing the morning service until the bells ring leaving Saint Francis alone to pray. It includes Saint Francis’ prayers some parts of Cantique descréatures on Brother Wind Sister Water Brother Fire and Mother Earth and the Sanctus. Based on the life of Saint Francis of Assisi this opera is set in Italy and is composed as per below: Act I: 1. La croix 2. Les laudes 3. Le baiser au lépreux Act II 4. L’ange voyageur 5. L’ange musicien 6. Le prêche aux oiseaux Act II 7. Les stigmates 8. La mort et la nouvelle vie This opera was first played at the Paris Opera in 1983. Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992) was a French organist and composer passionate about Ornithology and one of the most important composers of his century. Inspired by Japanese music he had a very special way of composing and his work can be identified by its complexity its diatonic aspect its harmony with limited transposition its colour and its additive rhythms. He composed many works related to ornithology and birdsong including the 'Bird Catalogue' in 7 volumes and the 'Treatise on Rhythm Colour and Ornithology' in 7 volumes.

Everyone Sang was composed by Scottish composer Helen Grime in 2010. It was commissioned by BBC Radio 3 for the 75th anniversary of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. It was first performed at CityHall Candleriggs Glasgow in December 2010 and is arranged for Orchestra. When composing this piece Grime states that she imagined the Orchestra as many individual voices  that were capableof producing a unified melody but also breaking off into separate strands of song. Since it was composed as a commemoration for the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra Grime wished to emphasise the Orchestra as a grand unified whole as well as their individual sections and sounds.  The piece unifies the orchestra with a sense of celebration and elation as well as a sense of melancholy making it apt that the pieceis named after a poem by Siegfried Sassoon.
