Five Nocturnes

With the five Nocturnes composed in 1919 Satie concluded the series of cyclically organized Piano pieces which in a way constitute the backbone of his oeuvre. As his models he chose the eponymouspieces by John Field and Frédéric Chopin borrowing not only the romantic elegiac inflections but also the tripartite form and rocking movement. Totally original in turn is the harmony which he devised according to his ownsystem.Commenting on his Nocturnes Satie once said: ?This is a different expression of myself?. Indeed the pieces which are not difficult to play seem unusually serious and far removed from thenonsense parody and cabaret atmosphere that colour such a large part of his oeuvre.

Maurice Rogers has brought together this first collection of Erik Satie's works containing: Three Sarabandes Three Gymnopédies Three Gnossiennes Prélude de la Porte Héro que du Ciel Pièces Froides Véritables Préludes Flasques Descriptions Automatiques Embryons Dessé Chés Avant - Dernières Pensées Sonatine Bureaucratique Five Nocturnes. Volume One.

Since most of Lisztâ??s vast output of piano music both original and arranged was obviously intended for the virtuoso it's easy to forget that he also wrote short and beautiful pieces which are technically undemanding. Moreover many of these are far more interesting musically than the typically brilliant works. By way of introducing this less familiar side of a great keyboard composer this edition offers twenty-one non-virtuoso pieces that he wrote between the ages of 38 and 74. They are arranged roughly in chronological order and prepared from original sources by leading scholars including informative introductions and performance notes. This book comprisescollections of pieces which include: Consolations Six Pieces S.172; Vier Kleine Klavierstucke (Four Short Piano Pieces) S.192; and Funf Ungarische Volkslieder (Five Hungarian Folksongs) S.245.

Philip Moore draws on a lifetime's experience of music for Anglican worship to present Bishop Ken's classic evening hymn in darker more subjective hues than those of Tallis's Canon to which it is usually sung congregationally. In particular a penitential note of strained serenity is struck in this nocturnal plea for repose of body and soul. The voices move quietly in comfortable thirds and sixths to the accompaniment of a questioning five-note figure a phrase which is rarely absent from the Organ part and which subtly questions their prayer for peace in its edgy harmonic and metric ambiguity.

Medium / Slightly Difficult. This colourful collection of pieces draws its inspirations from a variety of art works ranging from a gentle Parisian waltz Ball at the Moulin de la Galette inspired by the artist Renoir; an atmospheric night piece Nocturne in Blue and Gold by Whistler; a bright dazzling Winter Landscape with Skaters by the Dutch painter Avercamp; the Baroque brilliance of A Choir of Angels by the 15th Century painter Marmion; and two cool jazzy works Marilyn Diptych by pop artist Andy Warhol and Walking Man a powerful elongated sculpture by Giacometti which is in five time.The final and most challenging pieceOvercoming Red is inspired by the abstract artist Rodchenko who asserted in 1921 that the 'end of painting' was imminent; an appropriate choice for the concluding work of the picture gallery. Something for all tastes and abilities.
