Symphony In Yellow for Violin Cello and Piano by Britta Byström (2002). Programme Note Leggiero Dolce Energico Symphony in Yellow for Piano Trio is structured as a “miniature symphony” in three movements. The slow middle movement is surrounded by two faster ones. The title is taken from a poem by Oscar Wilde in which various images that are all characterized by something yellow float by: a yellow bus yellow hay yellow leaves… During the composition of the work I searched for a certain mood or color of sound something “yellow” that shouldremain unchanged while different musical events in the work’s structure took place. I perceived my challenge to be akin to an artist painting different subjects using only one color. Britta Byström Oscar Wilde: Symphony in Yellow An omnibus across the bridge Crawls like a yellow butterfly And here and there a passer-by Shows like a little restless midge. Bib barges full of yellow hay Are moored against the shadowy wharf And like yellow silken scarf The thick fog hangs along the quay. The yellow leaves begin to fade And flutter from the Temple elms And at my feet the pale green Thames Lies like a rod of rippled jade.    

für Oboe Violine Tasteninstrument Cello ad lib.-Here is a publication that springs from the spirit of Baroque transcription practice at its best. In this case it also goes hand in hand with a reconstruction made with scholarly precision. As to the choice of the key editor Klaus Hofmann decided against C minor which the previous generation had preferred and turned instead to D minor that Max Schneider had chosen back in 1921. The fruit of Siegfried Petrenzs labor is an inspired transparent 'Clavier' reduction (EB 8662) that is amazingly faithful to Baroque practice. Musicians will undoubtedly welcome this arrangement which boldly transgresses the conventions of Piano scores and presents a 'new' work the 'TrioSonata' in D minor BWV 1060.

Par MANTOVANI BRUNO. Une large partie de ma production dans le domaine de la musique de chambre est consacrée à des effectifs 'historiquement référencés'. En effet, outre le quatuor à cordes dont le patrimoine est immense mais qui est aussi une formation très prisée dans la création actuelle, je me suis consacré régulièrement aux genres de la sonate avec piano, au trio avec piano et à d'autres combinaisons instrumentales bien plus en vogue aux XVIIIe et XIXe siècles qu'aujourd'hui. Après un quintette avec piano, un autre à deux altos, c'est en 2016 le quintette à deux violoncelles qui a attiré mon attention. Le modèle schubertien a été évidemment présent à mon esprit pendant toute l'écriture (il s'agit d'aiIleurs de mon troisième opus faisant référence à ce compositeur, après Mit ausdruck pour clarinette basse et orchestre et Huit moments musicaux pour trio avec piano). Si dans une des sections lentes on peut reconnaître les pizzicati issus de l'Adagio de mon illustre collègue, la musique est assez éloignée du Quintette en ut. Cette pièce tente d'unir dans un même élan lyrisme et énergie, gestes instrumentaux naturels et abstraction. La forme tend vers une certaine continuité, soit par la mise en place de processus linéaires (transformations rythmiques, 'morphing' harmonique) soit par le tuilage entre des idées musicales contrastées. Les séquences les plus lentes ne visent à créer aucun sentiment de statisme : en général, la texture est animée par des trémolos, des batteries, les longues durées d'attente (notion très schubertienne) étant toujours habitées par le mouvement. Au milieu d'une texture généralement très dense et très monolithique, de nombreux soli renvoient au genre du concerto grosso. Le Quintette pour deux violons, alto et deux violoncelles est dédié à Henri Demarquette et au Quatuor Danel. Bruno Mantovani/ Répertoire / 2 Violons, Alto et 2 Violoncelles

For Narrator Children's Choir And Instrumental Accompaniment (Ensemble Version)-Following on the success of her two operatic works for children and teens ? Douce et Barbe Bleue Les Fables Enchantées Little Thummie and Cendrillon (based on Perrault) as well as the adaptation of Maupassant?s short story The Dumpling (2014) ? Isabelle Aboulker once again hits the bull?s eye with Myla And The Boat-Tree a commission from the Villecroze Music Academy. In 2015 this musical tale for Narrator Children?s Choir and Instrumental Accompaniment was awarded the ?Music for Young Performers Prize? by the French Music Publishers Association. Both in the French version and MarciMeth?s excellent English translation it provides the material for an enthralling educational adventure in which children between the ages of five and eight are invited into their first experience of opera and choir singing. With her trademark finesse and sensitivity the composer tells the story of a little girl dealing with the death of a person she?d cherished above all: her grandfather. Written for choir in unison this tale wafts shimmering melodies over an instrumental accompaniment suffused in turn with gentle melancholy and light humour. An art that speaks from an open heart. The work was written in three versions: for Narrator Children?s Choir and Piano (AL30732) for Narrator Children?s Choir and Trio (Clarinet in Bb Cello and Piano: AL30733) for Narrator Children?s Choir and Instrumental Ensemble (Flute Oboe Clarinet in Bb Bassoon Horn Trumpet in C Trombone Percussion 2 Violins Alto Cello Bass: AL30734) Choral score: AL30743 Listen to Isabelle Aboulker talking about ?Myla and the Boat-Tree?:
