BALDWIN PIANO RCA RECORDS* EDOUARD LALO Overture to 'Le roi d'Ys' Program note by John N. Burk Lalo was born in Lille on January 27 1823; he died in Paris on April 22 1892. He composed the Overture to his opera Le roi d'Ys in 1876, and the first performance was given at a Concert populaire in Paris, conducted by Jules Pasdeloup, on November 12 of that year. A revised version was played at a Lamoureux Concert in Paris on January 24 1886. Lalo did not complete the opera itself until 1887; the libretto was by Edouard Blau. The premiere took place at the Opera comique in Paris on May 7 1888. Arthur Nikisch conducted the first performance of the Overture by the Boston Symphony on November 21 1891. The instrumentation: 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 trumpets, 4 horns, 3 trombones and tuba, bass drum, side drum, timpani and strings. Lalo composed his only successful opera, and the work which con- tributed most to his fame in his own country, when he was 65 years old. Eleven years had elapsed between the composition of the overture in 1876 and the composition of the opera itself in 1887. And yet the overture is constructed almost entirely on themes used in the course of the opera. Le roi d'Ys was from the first well received in Paris. It reached its two hundredth performance at the Opera Comique by the year 1906. It has been given in various European cities, reaching this country when it was produced at New Orleans on January 23 1890. It was produced at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, Jan- uary 5 1922, but there it was quickly shelved. Blau derived his text from an old legend about the submersion of the city of Ys (or Is) in Armorica, in the Breton region of ancient Gaul. In the story which Blau tells, the King of Ys had two daughters, Margared and Rozenn, both of whom were in love with Mylio, a knight of the court. Margared was jealous of her sister whom Mylio favored, and her jealousy flamed into rebellion when her father promised her for rea- sons of state to the hostile neighboring prince, Karnac, who was waging war upon his kingdom. Margared, turning against her own people, opened a dike and allowed the sea to inundate the city of Ys. Desperate at the sight of what she had done, as the water rose, she threw herself into the flood. By the miraculous intervention of St Corentin, the water receded. The Overture has for an introductory theme a clarinet melody, sung by the knight Mylio in the First Act: 'Si le del est plein de flammes'. A trumpet fanfare introduces the main body of the Overture with a fiery theme which has been connected with the jealous passion of Margared, a strain from her song in Act two: 'Lorsque je t'ai vu'. The air of Rozenn, 'En silence pourquoi souffrix', is heard from the cello. The Overture ends with a return to the opening allegro theme, and a reference to the introduction and Mylio's war song. Edouard Lalo was one of those French composers who cultivated the popular media of opera and ballet without disdaining frank tunefulness, and yet with scrupulous maintenance of musical good taste. When a choreographer advised him to emulate Adolph Adam, he made a pointed retort that he did not produce confections of the Giselle 10 variety.

Through this passage of time many changes have been made in the original design. The early instruments shown in drawings on the tomb of Rameses II (1292-1225 B.C.) were richly decorated but lacked the fore-pillar. Later the "Kinner" developed by the Hebrews took the form as we know it today. The pedal harp was invented about 1720 by a Bavarian named Hochbrucker and through this ingenious device it be- came possible to play in eight major and five minor scales complete. Today the harp is an important and familiar instrument providing the "Exquisite Sound" and special effects so important to modern orchestration and arrange- ment.

  • Hommage À Olivier Messiaen Dimanche 18 Mars 2018 – 16H
    Hommage à Olivier Messiaen Dimanche 18 mars 2018 – 16h GRANDE SALLE PIERRE BOULEZ – PHILHARMONIE WEEK-END LES OISEAUX Pour certains scientifiques et certains historiens, la musique pourrait être née du désir des hommes d’imiter la voix des oiseaux, ressentie comme un véritable langage musical, au-delà de la simple émission de sons. Force est de constater que, si l’on ne peut trancher cette question, ceux que Messiaen, reprenant une image déjà utilisée au xviie siècle par le moine Paul de Montaigu notamment, appelait « les premiers musiciens du monde » ont constitué une inspiration de choix pour les compositeurs, qui se sont volon- tiers adonnés à l’évocation ou à l’imitation. De cette fréquentation plus ou moins intime, c’est effectivement Messiaen qui donna le témoignage le plus riche : « La nature, les chants d’oiseaux ! Ce sont mes passions. Ce sont aussi mes refuges. […] C’est là que réside pour moi la musique », écrivait-il en préface à son Catalogue d’oiseaux, qui réunit presque trois heures de musique évoquant rousserolle effarvatte, cho- card des Alpes ou traquet rieur – la journée du dimanche, en compagnie de Pierre-Laurent Aimard, y sera consacrée. Celui qui se définissait autant comme ornithologue que comme compositeur remplit au cours de sa vie des centaines de carnets de chants d’oiseaux notés aussi précisément que possible, un ardent enthousiasme dont ses pièces musicales sont très nom- breuses à porter la trace. Mais les petites bêtes à plumes n’ont bien sûr pas attendu le xxe siècle pour investir le champ musical. La musique baroque regorge déjà de leurs trilles et de leurs envolées, chez Vivaldi (notamment dans le Concerto pour flûte « Le Chardonneret ») ou chez Couperin, qui avaient eux-mêmes été précédés par des compositeurs comme Jacob van Eyck.

  • Discours Prononcé Par M. Laurent
    INSTITUT DE FRANCE ACADEMIE DES BEAUX-ARTS NOTICE SUR LA VIE ET LES TRAVAUX DE M. Marcel LANDOWSKY (1915-1999) par M. Laurent PETITGIRARD Lue à l’occasion de son installation comme membre de la Section de Composition musicale SEANCE DU MERCREDI 12 DECEMBRE 2001 Monsieur le Président, Messieurs les Secrétaires perpétuels, Chers confrères, Chers amis, Marcel Landowski aurait certainement apprécié que son successeur soit reçu par un grand sculpteur et je remercie de tout cœur Jean Cardot pour ses propos chaleureux. Dès son enfance, Marcel Landowski est impressionné par la puissance de travail de son père, Paul Landowski, qu'il décrit ainsi: "C’est dans son atelier, en le voyant travailler douze heures par jour aux grandes œuvres qu’il a sculptées et qu’il remettait vingt fois sur le chantier, que j’ai, du moins je l’espère, appris la valeur du travail et du vrai métier". Marcel Landowski aura le privilège d’y passer de longs moments, et l’on imagine sans peine l’influence qu’a pu avoir sur un jeune garçon à la sensibilité exacerbée la vision de la gigantesque tête de sept mètres de haut du Christ du Mont Corcovado que son père sculptait pour la baie de Rio de Janeiro. Sa mère, Amélie, femme d’une grande culture, lui donnera le goût d’un univers secret, très dense et nourri de réflexion intellectuelle. Deux autres femmes, Nadine, sa sœur aînée, peintre et sa grand-mère, allaient avoir sur lui une pondérante. C’est à Lamaguère, le domaine de son grand-père Jean Cruppi, ministre de la troisième République, situé devant la chaîne des Pyrénées, au bord de la Garonne, que sa grand-mère Louise va lui donner ses premiers cours de piano et de solfège.
