En 1980 le pianiste et compositeur italien Gian Piero Reverberi fonde l?ensemble Rondò Veneziano. Le style musical directement inspiré de la musique baroque et associé à des instruments modernes (batterie guitare basse synthé) séduit immédiatement. Avec Concerto et San Marco Sinfonia per un Addio est un des plus grands succès de cet ensemble unique. La musique est légère mélodieuse et facile à suivre. Lorenzo Bocci a réalisé un arrangement pour Orchestre d?Harmonie qui conserve le charme authentiquement vénitien du Rondò Veneziano.

Anton Bruckner (1824-1896). Par BRUCKNER ANTON / DOSS THOMAS (Arr.). Anton Bruckner (b. 4.9.1824, Ansfelden, d. 11.10.1896, Vienna) didn?t have it easy. Throughout his life, the Austrian composer was plagued by self-doubt. Anton Bruckner came from a simple, rural background. After the death of his father, he was accepted as a choirboy at the monastery of Sankt Florian in 1837. After several years as a school assistant and his own organ and piano studies, he first worked as organist in St. Florian, then from 1855 as cathedral organist in Linz. Introduced to music theory and instrumentation by Simon Sechter and Otto Kitzler, he discovered Richard Wagner as an artistic role model, whom he admired throughout his life and also visited several times in Bayreuth. In 1868 Anton Bruckner became professor of basso continuo, counterpoint and organ at the Vienna Conservatory; ten years later court organist; and in 1891 finally honorary doctor of the University of Vienna. He was considered an important organ virtuoso of his era, but had to wait a long time for recognition as a composer. It was not until Symphony No.7 in E major, composed between 1881 and 1883, with the famous Adagio written under the effects of Wagner's death, that he achieved the recognition he had hoped for, even if he was reluctant to accept it given his inclination towards scepticism and self-criticism. Anton Bruckner was a loner who did not want to follow a particular school or doctrine. He composed numerous sacred vocal works, such as his three masses, the Missa Solemnis in B flat minor (1854), the Te Deum (1881-84) and numerous motets. As a symphonic composer, he wrote a total of nine symphonies and many symphonic studies from 1863 onwards, tending to revise completed versions several times over. Bruckner's orchestral works were long considered unplayable, but in fact were merely exceptionally bold for the tonal language of their time, uniting traditions from Beethoven through Wagner to folk music, on the threshold between late Romanticism and Modernism. Anton Bruckner composed about 40 motets during his lifetime, the earliest a setting of Pange lingua around 1835, and the last, Vexilla regis, in 1892. Thomas Doss has compiled some of these motets in this volume for symphonic wind orchestra. These motets show many characteristics of personal expression, especially Bruckner's colourful harmony in the earlier works, which is in places aligned with Franz Schubert (changes between major and minor; and movements in thirds). Later works are characterised by many components which, in addition to the expanded stature of the movements, include above all a sense of the instrumentation as an outward phenomenon and the harmony as a compositional feature that works more internally. Some aspects of Bruckner's work are the result of his long period of study, which familiarised him not only with the tradition of his craft, but also gave him insights into the 'modernity' of his time in such composers as Wagner, Liszt and Berlioz. From this developed his personal standpoint, which always pursues the connection between the old and the new. / Date parution : 2023-08-12/ Répertoire / Concert Band/Harmonie

from the opera Rinaldo van Georg Friedrich Händel. Par HAENDEL GEORG FRIEDRICH. Lascia ch’io pianga est un air extrait de Rinaldo, premier opéra londonien de Georg Friedrich Haendel sur un livret de Giacomo Rossi d’après un scénario d’Aaron Hill. Quinze jours de travail suffirent à Haendel pour achever la partition. Le résultat est en réalité une vaste adaptation de plusieurs oeuvres antérieures. Rinaldo a été créé à Londres en 1711. Les décors féeriques et chevaleresques étaient éblouissants pour l’époque, et c’est sans doute pour cela que l’oeuvre fut plébiscitée par le public. Dans le merveilleux jardin du palais enchanté d’Armide (l’alliée d’Argante, le rival de Rinaldo), Almirène (la promise de Rinaldo) pleure sa captivité dansson air Lascia ch’io pianga, l’un des plus beaux qu’Haendel ait écrits. Cette sublime mélodie, célèbre dans le monde entier, a été arrangée avec finesse et justesse par Jacob de Haan. / Niveau : 2 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie
