from the Opera The Night before Christmas-Nikolaï Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908) composa son opéra La Nuit de Noël dans les années 1894-95. Cette oeuvre fut créée le 10 décembre 1895 à Saint-Pétersbourg. Signé par Rimski-Korsakov lui-même le livret s'inspire d'une histoire de Nikolaï Gogol qui quelques années plus tôt avait servi de matériel thématique à un opéra de Piotr Ilitch Tchaïkovski. The Night before Christmas (La Nuit de Noël) raconte l'histoire de Vakula le forgeron d'un petit village d'Ukraine. Il est follement amoureux d'Oxana qui demande en témoignage de son amour un cadeau de Noël très inhabituel : les splendides pantoufles de l'impératrice. Parfaitement conscient que dans descirconstances ordinaires il n'arriverait jamais à réaliser le souhait d'Oxana Vakula fait appel aux puissances surnaturelles qui se manifestant sous la forme du diable lui proposent un stratagème pour l'aider. Le diable porte alors Vakula sur son dos jusqu'à Saint-Pétersbourg où lors d'une réception somptueuse à la cour Vakula trouve l'occasion de présenter sa requête à l'impératrice. Celle-ci fini par y consentir et lui donne ses pantoufles. Il retourne donc à son village. Mais son absence avait fait croire qu'il était mort et Oxana était accablée de chagrin car elle avait pris conscience de l'amour véritable qu'elle portait au forgeron. Finalement tous les malentendus sont dissipés et tous les obstacles sont surmontés : Oxana reçoit son cadeau extravagant les amants sont réunis et les cloches appellent les villageois à la messe de minuit. La Polonaise est jouée au 3e acte de l'opéra à l'entrée de l'impératrice dont l'arrivée est anticipée dans le Prélude par des motifs de fanfare. La musique dépeint clairement l'ambiance de fête et le cadre merveilleux de la cour impériale de Saint-Pétersbourg que Rimski-Korsakov évoque dans son opéra. Cette oeuvre peut être interprétée en dehors du temps de l'Avent et de Noël notamment en ouverture de tout concert festif.

From The Opera 'The Tale Of Tsar Saltan'. Par RIMSKI-KORSAKOV NICOLAI. Vol de l'abeille Bumble de l'opéra 'La légende du Tsar Saltan' basée sur un texte de Pouchkine est, sans aucun doute, le oeuvre la plus connue dans le oeuvre de Nikolaï Rimski-Korsakov (1844-1906). Le bourdonnant musical de la Bourdon a coincé son chemin dans le c/ Répertoire / Piano

for bassoon and concert band-Nicolaï Rimski-Korsakov disait du basson qu?il était « sénile et fourbe en Majeur souffrant et triste en mineur ». Dans le grave et en staccato il est indéniablement comique grotesque et bouffon. Cette diversité de caractère avait déjà inspiré la Commedia dell?arte qui confia à Signor Fagotto l?un des rôles comiques essentiels. Au XVIIIe siècle selon l?usage de l?opéra-comique italien (opera buffa) la voix était doublée par un instrument à vent. De Signor Fagotto au basson l?instrument qui allait le seconder il n?y avait qu?un pas. C?est aussi à cette époque que le basson devient un instrument soliste à part entière. Vivaldi lui consacrera près de40 concertos. Sans doute a-t-il été conquis par sa personnalité généreuse comme bien d?autres compositeurs dont Maxime Aulio. Il Signore Fagotto débute avec une introduction orchestrale brillante. Le soliste expose ensuite le thème premier de l?œuvre. L?utilisation presque constante d?un chiffrage de mesure irrégulier (7/8) permet au basson d?accentuer son caractère espiègle et charmant tout en laissant à l?auditeur un espace de liberté suffisant pour imaginer les facéties du personnage. Il Signore Fagotto est une œuvre captivante pour l?accompagnement orchestral et qui offre au basson une superbe partie soliste.Il Signore Fagotto a été donné en création mondiale le 24 avril 2002 par Laurent Le Chenadec (basson) accompagné de l?Orchestre d?Harmonie du Conservatoire National de Région de Toulouse.
