Concerto For Horn And Orchestra

The Bohuslav Martinu Complete Edition III/1/5. Par MARTINU BOHUSLAV. “Incarnation” (1956), Bohuslav Martinu’s fourth piano concerto, follows an atypical two-movement structure. It was composed for Martinu’s friend Rudolf Firkušný, who played from a copy of the autograph until 1970, when the composition was first put into print. The next work, “Concerto in B flat major for Piano and Orchestra”, known under the name “Fantasia Concertante”, was to be Martinu’s very last concert work. The concerto in three movements, composed at the request of Swiss pianist Margrit Weber, is quite different from the previous work in terms of its compositional means. In this case, Martinu strongly influenced the edition of the work. The present volume of the Complete Edition of works by Bohuslav Martinu is based mainly on contemporary copies containing the composer’s own modifications. The edition presents numerous new findings about the genesis of both works./ Recueil / Orchestre

' Concerto per bombardino ' est une pièce concertante écrite par Giosuè Grandi pour bombardino (tuba ténor) et piano. Ce compositeur italien de la fin du 19ème siècle était aussi professeur de trombone au ' Teatro della Pergola ' et à la ' Società Orchestrale Fiorentina ' à Florence.Cette pièce est écrite sous la forme du thème et variations débutant par une introduction expressive de style ' bel canto ' et ponctuées par un mouvement rythmé ' polacca '.Le manuscrit qui m'a permis de faire cet arrangement étant malheureusement incomplet concernant la partie de piano, j'ai donc écrit des passages de l'accompagnement en préservant l'esprit de cette musique.Nul doute que cette pièce expressive, pétillante et virtuose, sera plaisante à interpréter et à écouter. / Euphonium Ou Saxhorn Et Piano

Concertino Da Camera written in 1935 by Jacques Ibert (1890-1962) is a small concerto for Alto Saxophone and eleven instruments: Flute Bassoon Oboe Horn Trumpet and Strings. This concertino in two movements Allegro con moto and Larghetto – Animato Molto is dedicated to the saxophonist Sigurd Rascher and stands out for its large use of the Alto Saxophone. It can be technically challenging and has a strong lyrical part. This volume is the pocket version of the score. Its author Jacques Ibert (1890-1962) is a neoclassical composer who won the Prix de Rome in 1919. He composed many symphonicsuites operas and seven orchestras including 'Angelique' (1926) and 'Divertissement' (1930). He also was in charge of the Accadémie de France in the Villa Médicis (Roma) and was later administrator for the Paris Opera. This concerto has some similarities with is Flute Concerto (1934) also published by Alphonse Leduc.

Farewell to philosophy. Par BRYARS GAVIN. I have a great fondness for the lower string instruments: I am a bass player, my mother is a cellist, as are both my daughters; my own ensemble includes two violas, a cello and a bass, and for the instrumentation of my opera Medea I omit the entire violin section from the orchestra. As I have written a number of works for solo instrument or voice with orchestra I welcomed the opportunity to write a concerto for cello and orchestra and especially one which focuses particularly on the instrument’s lyrical qualities. Although the piece is in one continuous movement, and the soloist is playing almost without a break, it nevertheless falls into distinct sections which are recognisable by a shift of tempo as well as by a change in the music’s character. One of the early ideas Julian Lloyd Webber and I discussed was that it might form a companion piece to one of the Haydn concertos. Given my friendship with some members of the English Chamber Orchestra and my awareness of their repertoire, this suggested a number of particular musical references. The subtitle to the work, for example, combines the subtitles of two idiosyncratic Haydn symphonies and I allude to them in different ways but chiefly through orchestration: for The Philosopher by including a section in the concerto where the orchestration resembles that of the symphony’s first movement (pairs of English and French horns, muted violins and unmuted lower strings); for The Farewell, by the progressive reduction in the orchestration towards the end. Indeed, apart from the orchestral tutti in the last few bars, the last pages of the score are virtually for string quartet. The subtitle also refers to my own background as a philosophy graduate... The piece was commissioned by Philips Classics for Julian Lloyd Webber and is dedicated to him. The first performance was given by Julian Lloyd Webber and the English Chamber Orchestra conducted by James Judd, 21 November 1995, Barbican Hall, London.

The sheet music includes alternate parts forViola or Cello with Piano accompaniment.Composer Ethel Smyth was a prolific composer of serious music for several decades at the turn of the last century whose works commanded great critical acclaim and earned her the honour ofDame Commander of the Order of the British Empire. A fiery powerful personality Smyth pursued her musical studies and career against her family’s wishes travelling to Leipzig to study there. Her style is late Romantic withrich Orchestration which fell out of favour in the 20th century. Sir Thomas Beecham was a champion of her work as was Henry Wood to whom this work is dedicated.
