Ashland 9530 Concerto in F major, for violin, flute, oboe, and trumpet, with ACCOMPANIMENT OF TWO VIOLINS, VIOLA, VIOLONCELLO, AND HARPSI- CHORD Johann Sebastian Bach (Born at Eisenach, March 21, 1685; died at Leipsic, July 28, 1750) This composition is the second of the six Brandenburg concertos. Completed March 24, 1721, they were written in answer to the wish of a Prussian prince, Christian Ludwig, Margraf of Brandenburg, the youngest son of the Great Elector by a second wife. The prince was provost of the Cathedral at Halberstadt. He was a bachelor, who lived now at Berlin, now on his estate at Malchow. Fond of music, not in an idle way, he was extravagant in his tastes and mode of life, often going beyond his income of nearly 50,000 thalers. He met Bach—some say at Carlsbad—in 1718 or 1720, and asked him to write some pieces for his private orchestra, which contained players of high reputation. Bach sent the pieces entitled "Concerts avec Plusieurs Instru- ments" to Berlin, with a dedication in French. This dedication was probably written by some courtier at Cothen, where Bach was then living. Nothing is known about the reception, nor is it known whether the concertos were ever played at the palace of the prince. The Piano House ofBrooklyn invites you to see and hear the new Kranich & Bach Pianos In Classic Period Cases Exquisite instruments from every viewpoint $1300 to $2400 tCwc BROOKLYN -NEW YORK the of It was his habit to catalogue his music ; but name Bach was not found in the list, although the names of Vivaldi, Venturing Valentiri, Brescianello, and other writers of concertos, were re- corded. Spitta thinks that the pieces were probably included in miscellaneous lots, as "77 concertos by different masters for various "100 instruments at 4 ggr (altogether 12 thlr, 20 ggr)" ; or concertos by different masters for various instruments—No. 3, 3 16th." The Brandenburg concertos came into the possession of J. P. Kirnberger. They were then owned by the Princess Amalie, sister of Frederick the Great and a pupil of Kirnberger. Their next and final home was the Royal Library, Berlin. They were edited by S. W. Dehn, and published by Peters, Leipsic, in 1850. In the dedication to "Son Altesse Royalle, Monseigneur Cretien Louis, Marggraf de Brandenburg, etc., etc.," dated Cothen, March 24, 1721, Bach entreated the Margrave "very humbly" "not to judge the imperfections of the concertos by the severity of that fine and delicate taste which every one knows that he possesses ; but rather to see in them, by his kind consideration, the profound respect and the very humble allegiance which they seek to convey."

The audience seemed outraged at the idea of a loose woman and murder onstage at the Opéra-Comique. Bizet died three months later at age 37, never knowing that he had written what would become one of the most popular operas ever composed. After Bizet’s death, his publisher Choudens felt that the music of the opera was too good to lose, so he commissioned the French composer Ernest Guiraud to arrange excerpts from Carmen into two orchestral suites of six movements each. The music from Carmen has everything going for it – excitement, color and (best of all) instantly recognizable tunes. From today’s vantage point, it seems impossible that this opera could have been anything but a smash success from the first instant. The Suite No. 1 from Carmen contains some of the most famous music from the opera, and it also offers some wonderful writing for solo woodwinds.

L’année 2012 fut l’occasion de célébrer Debussy, sans oublier son contemporain Maurice Emmanuel. Ainsi le Conservatoire national supérieur de musique et de danse de Paris, où Maurice Emmanuel enseigna l’Histoire de la musique de 1909 à 1936, a-t-il accueilli en décembre dernier un colloque consacré à « Maurice Emmanuel pédagogue ». Cette exposition s’en veut le prolongement. Elle été réalisée par les élèves de la classe de Culture musicale de Lucie Kayas dans le cadre des activités appliquées proposées par cette classe. Grâce à la générosité d’Anne Eichner-Emmanuel, petit-fille du compositeur, de nombreux documents originaux ont pu être présentés, tout comme les panneaux réalisés par l’Association des amis de Maurice Emmanuel.

As the politicians are fond of reminding us: it’s been a challenging year. Here at the Yorkshire & North East branch we have met the challenge in various ways. Most importantly, we have maintained our programme of talks, almost without interruption, by means of that technological miracle, the remote electronic platforms, especially Zoom. We took a degree of satisfaction in being the first branch to embrace the technology when, in May 2020, Christopher Wiltshire gave his trailblazing presentation, followed by Stuart Freed (June), Peter Newble (September, via Vimeo), Bernard Porter (November), and Steven Halls (March). We are extremely grateful to all these speakers not only for rising to the technological challenge but for such highly informative and enjoyable occasions, and we look forward to more on-line meetings in April, May and June. By the time of our scheduled meeting in September, we should be out of lockdown and back at our home, the Bar Convent, York. But this raises an important question: do we continue as before, as if nothing had happened, or do we learn from the experience and modify our operations? Let us not forget that Zoom meetings have attracted a wider audience than those at the Bar Convent.

  • Paul Dukas: Villanelle for Horn and Orchestra (1906)
    Paul Dukas: Villanelle for Horn and Orchestra (1906) Paul Dukas (1865-1935) was a French composer, critic, scholar and teacher. A studious man, of retiring personality, he was intensely self-critical, and as a perfectionist he abandoned and destroyed many of his compositions. His best known work is the orchestral piece The Sorcerer's Apprentice (L'apprenti sorcier), the fame of which became a matter of irritation to Dukas. In 2011, the Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians observed, "The popularity of L'apprenti sorcier and the exhilarating film version of it in Disney's Fantasia possibly hindered a fuller understanding of Dukas, as that single work is far better known than its composer." Among his other surviving works are the opera Ariane et Barbe-bleue (Ariadne and Bluebeard, 1897, later championed by Toscanini and Beecham), a symphony (1896), two substantial works for solo piano (Sonata, 1901, and Variations, 1902) and a sumptuous oriental ballet La Péri (1912). Described by the composer as a "poème dansé" it depicts a young Persian prince who travels to the ends of the Earth in a quest to find the lotus flower of immortality, coming across its guardian, the Péri (fairy). Because of the very quiet opening pages of the ballet score, the composer added a brief "Fanfare pour précéder La Peri" which gave the typically noisy audiences of the day time to settle in their seats before the work proper began. Today the prelude is a favorite among orchestral brass sections. At a time when French musicians were divided into conservative and progressive factions, Dukas adhered to neither but retained the admiration of both.
