Serse

Georg Frideric Händel 's Serse (Xerxes) has everything one would expect from a Baroque opera - many intertwining love stories, affairs, intrigues, scheming, misunderstanding and forgiving - all presented in the great master's magnificent music. The opera is set in Persia in 480 BC and is very loosely based upon Xerxes I of Persia, though there is little in either the Baroque libretto or music that is relevant to that setting, the main focus is on the characters ( Serse , Arsamene, Amastre, Romilda, Atalanta, Ariodate and Elviro - some of which are based on real historical persons) and their plotting. The English version for the opera in three acts was made for the English National Opera's production, first performed in 1985, on the 300th anniversary of Händel 's birth. In this edition of the Vocal score with the original Italian and the later English lyrics accompaniment is provided by the instruments indicated in the orchestration (2 Recorders (or Flutes), 2 Oboes, 2 Horns in F, Trumpet in D, Strings and Continuo [Harpsichord, Cello, Double Bass, Bassoon]), but can also be played by the Piano. Serse 's part, originally sung by a castrato, can be performed by a Soprano or a Countertenor. / Chant Et Piano

Ombra mai fu est l'un des airs les plus célèbres de Serse, il est également connu comme Largo de Haendel (célèbre pour sa merveilleuse mélodie).

Par GALLOIS JEAN. Force de la nature, Georg Friedrich Haendel (1685-1759) révéla rapidement un don inné pour la musique dans sa ville natale de Halle. Son talent émergea à  Hambourg, montrant déjà  un goût certain pour l'oratorio et l'opéra. Aprês quelques succês en Italie (notamment Aggripina à  Venise), il entra au service de la maison de Hambourg, ce qui le fit voyager en Angleterre Dès 1710. C'est là  qu'il éblouit les soirées london-niennes en créant pour sa Royal Academy of Music de nombreux chefs-d'oeuvre lyriques : Rinaldo, Guilio Cesare, Ariodante, Alcina, Serse, . . . Ce compositeur prolifique (plus de 600 opus) s'illustra aussi dans la musique orchestrale (Concerti Grossi, Suites, Water Music, Music for the Royal Fireworks, . . . ) et un vaste catalogue religieux (Anthems, Te Deums, oratorios dont Messiah et La Resurrezione, . . . ). Il repose désormais à  Westiminster Abbey. Ce nouveau volume de la collection horizons vous propose de partir à  la rencontre d'une figure incontournable de la musique. / Broché / Livre / Livres
