Les bonnes raisons ne manquaient pas pour m'encourager à composer un concerto pour trombone basse et Orchestre d'Harmonie. Cette composition concrétise, en premier lieu, l'amitié fraternelle qui me lie au tromboniste basse Ben van Dijk depuis trente-cinq ans, et coïncide avec mes trente ans de carrière de musicien professionnel (1er mai 2007). D'autre part, j'ai souhaité apporter ma contribution au répertoire solo pour trombone basse, bien pauvre en oeuvres lyriques qui exploitent pleinement les capacités mélodiques et musicales de l'instrument. Enfin, ce concerto est un hommage à Piet van Dijk (1920-2003), le père de Ben, qui fut un musicien dans l'âme et un être extraordinaire. En tant que professeur de trombone et d'euphonium, il a joué un rôle essentiel dans ma carrière future de musicien et je lui en serai toujours reconnaissant. Un festival ambitieux autour du trombone offrait le cadre idéal pour la création de mon oeuvre : le festival Slide Factory 2007 organisé à Rotterdam par les membres du New Trombone Collective, ambassadeurs idéaux pour la littérature contemporaine pour le trombone. La création de Canticles (Cantiques) fut une expérience enthousiasmante, enrichie par l'étroite collaboration avec Ben van Dijk. D'ailleurs, je tiens à le remercier chaleureusement pour ses excellentes suggestions, son savoir-faire et sa passion. Je suis convaincu que cette pièce trouvera sa place dans les salles de concert ! Canticles est une oeuvre de commande pour le Fonds des Compositeurs néerlandais 'Fonds voor de Scheppende Toonkunst? (Fonds pour la création musicale) à la demande du New Trombone Collective. La première mondiale a eu lieu le 6 mai 2007 à l'église St. Laurens à Rotterdam dans le cadre du festival Slide Factory 2007. Ben van Dijk, trombone basse, était accompagné par la Musique Militaire Royale Navale des Pays-Bas placée sous la direction d'Ivan Meylemans. ' / Johan de Meij, Amsterdam, mai 2007. La réduction pour Trombone basse et Piano a été réalisée par le compositeur lui-même. / Trombone Et Piano / 36 pages / niveau : Moyenne Force / Partition

Par KELLY BRYAN. Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis for SATB and Organ. Kentucky Canticles pay homage to the unforgettable music of the deep south, and in particular to the legendary black singer Paul Robeson. Dancing spiritual rhythms infuse the Magnificat's energetic song of joy, and there are lively musical illustrations for the mighty, the proud, the rich, and the humble and meek before the return of the opening phrases heralds an exultant Gloria. In contrast, the Nunc Dimittis draws on the expressivity at the heart of the spiritual style to capture the deep yearning of Simeon's song of farewell. Both movements have short passages for solo voices that maybe taken by members of the choir. The Kentucky Canticles are dedicated to John Scott and the Choir of St Thomas Fifth Avenue, New York, and are the latest addition to a long and distinguished output with which Kelly has enriched the musical heritage of Anglican worship./ Feuillet / SATB et Orgue

for SSAATTBB unaccompanied These splendid and musically rewarding settings published under the series title Chapel Royal Canticles have been largely neglected by publishers and performers. They were almost certainly used by William Byrd as models for his own Great Service and are therefore of prime historical importance.
