After the extraordinary success of 'Rigoletto', Verdi who was constantly looking for material for an opera came across 'El trobador', a play by the Spaniard Antonio Garcia Gutierrez. The transformation of the original into a libretto that met Verdi's demands turned out to be difficult. Although the libretto is said to suffer from a great lack of quality, the opera audience is agreed that 'The Troubadour' is unsurpassed in its temperament and immense verve.Apart from the libretto, this edition contains introductory commentaries of Kurt Pahlen who also adds information on the compositional structure and context to the musical as well as external and internal dramatic action of the opera. A short synopsis and a brief outline of the genesis bring the work into relation with the composer's entire oeuvre and his life, thus offering a comprehensive, richly illustrated introduction.

A tamburo battente', auf einen Streich, und in einem wahren Schaffensrausch in angeblich 40 Tagen schrieb Giuseppe Verdi den 'Rigoletto' nieder, die Premiere wurde ein Triumph. Mit gleichem Schwung machte er sich an die Arbeit am 'Troubadour', der alsbald eine ahnlich sensationelle Popularitat errang. Lediglich bei 'La Traviata' meinte der bereits vom Erfolg verwohnte Komponist, ein Fiasko heraufbeschworen zu haben, doch die rasche Verbreitung in Italien und Europa liess auch bei dieser Oper nicht auf sich warten. Schon zu Verdis Lebzeiten war damit die 'Trilogia popolare' geboren, die jene Buhnenwerke umfasst, die bis heute zu den erfolgreichsten und meistgespielten nicht nur innerhalb von Verdis ouvre, sondern in der Opernliteratur uberhaupt zu zahlen sind. Im Jahr 2003 jahren sich die Urauffuhrungen der 'Traviata' und der ersten Fassung des 'Troubadour' zum 150. Mal.

THE TROUBADOUR’S SONG was composed as a preparatory piece for work on Debussy’s Syrinx. The present solo is of similar length, featuring melodic interest elegantly melded together with medieval flavor, and with charming roulades that demand a degree of technical maturity. THE TROUBADOUR’S SONG may be performed on its own, or as a lead-in to Syrinx.

With his piano cycle Pictures at an Exhibition from 1874, Mussorgsky created a classic example of programme music. Based on the paintings of his deceased friend Viktor Hartmann, he also composed the lyrical serenade 'Il vecchio castello' (The Old Castle), among others. Hartmann's picture shows a medieval Italian castle with a singing troubadour who accompanies himself on the lute. In Maurice Ravel's subsequent famous orchestral version, the beautiful, melancholy melody was played by the alto saxophone. Accompaniment, prelude and interludes are reminiscent of playing a medieval hurdy-gurdy with its pervading drone bass. Therein lies the continuity of the piece, thereabove lies the quiet romance with its melancholy character - the unrequited love of the troubadour. This separate edition now gives all saxophonists the opportunity to play the piece with piano accompaniment.

Based on an Armenian troubadour song, I WILL NOT BE SAD IN THIS WORLD is a uniquely beautiful work for alto flute (or bass flute) accompanied by a pre-recorded audio track made purely from the composer’s own singing. The result is a fluid interplay between the live flute and the composer’s multi-tracked and processed vocal sonorities. The work was created for Marya Martin’s “Eight Visions†collection (published by Presser), and is now available as a single publication.I will not be sad in this world is based on the song “Ashkharumes Akh Chim Kashil†by the legendary 18th-century Armenian troubadour Sayat Nova. The song is often played on the duduk, and your flute playing should respond to the ornamentation, intonation, and vibrato of traditional duduk playing.In playing this piece, you will want to be flexible with time: the 32nd notes are mostly notated grace notes coloring the following note, and can be compressed towards that next note for effect. Similarly, the meter should be downplayed: use the pre-recorded part to give you guideposts, and then shape your phrases quite freely around those guideposts.I strongly suggest that you listen to my demo recording of the piece, as it will give an indication of what I am looking for. I have not transcribed every note that I sang on the demo, and similarly, once you feel comfortable with the playing style, you can ornament the melody with some flexibility yourself. The notated turns are meant to indicate places where it is most natural to do some ornamentation.The piece can be played on either alto flute or bass flute. I am hoping for a certain vulnerability in your playing, so choose the flute that will help you most with that. If you are playing in a dry hall, you might consider slight amplification, not for volume, but to allow you to add reverb to your sound. It will then be easier to blend well with the tape part.Optionally, one (or even two) additional flutists may double the lines called “voice†that are part of the tape part. The additional player(s) should play more softly than the soloist, and get even softer as the piece progresses and the electronics take over.* * *Thanks to Marya Martin who commissioned the piece. Many thanks to my friend and colleague Margaret Lancaster, who tried out the piece for me and advised me about notation. Thanks also to the Civitella Ranieri Foundation who were my generous hosts while I was writing I will not be sad in this world.The audio accompaniment and the demo are available for free download from the “Additional Downloads†tab at www.presser.com/114-42236 .
