LES ELEMENS : 2 LES ELEMENS : 3 PALLADIAN ENSEMBLE greatest Connoisseurs, is one of the most beautiful symphonic works LES ELEMENS in this genre... a pure symphony without dance or pantomime.’ Rebel’s foreword to the work gives us a glimpse of his thoughts: The thunderous dissonance which opens ‘Les Elemens’ is probably the most shocking and original single bar of music composed up to that time. How much ‘The introduction to this work is Chaos itself; that confusion which more extraordinary to reflect that it was written by a 71 year old pensioner reigned among the Elements before the moment when, subject to whose music had been previously praised for its ‘Wisdom, Taste and Tenderness’ immutable laws, they assumed their prescribed places within the and its avoidance of the ‘Frightening and Monstrous’! natural order. This initial idea led me somewhat further. I have dared to link the idea of the confusion of the Elements with that Jean-Féry Rebel (1666-1747) enjoyed a long and productive career as one of of confusion in Harmony. I have risked opening with all the notes Louis XIV favoured musicians. He was presented at court at the age of 8 by sounding together, or rather, all the notes in an octave played as his father, a royal musician, where he reportedly astonished the King with his a single sound. To designate, in this confusion, each particular virtuosity on the violin. He was encouraged by Lully and rose through the element, I have availed myself of some widely accepted conventions. ranks to eventually direct the 24 Violons du Roy.

Air is depicted by pauses followed by cadenzas Ulysse, was a failure). However, he was soon tempted out of retirement by Prince on the small flutes, and finally the violins, with their liveliness and Carignan to write the score that has become his most famous: ‘Les Elemens’. brilliance represent the activity of Fire. These characteristics may The work was premiered in 1737 without the opening movement Le Cahos. The be recognized, separate or intermingled, in whole or in part, in the “Mercure de France” reported, diverse reprises that I have called Chaos, and which mark the efforts of the Elements to get free of each other. At the 7th appearance of ‘On the 27th of September the Royal Academy of Music played, Chaos these efforts diminish as order begins to assert itself...’ after the Opera ‘Cadmus’ a new symphonic work, by Mr. Rebel Senior (Rebel’s son was also a prominent musician) entitled The suite which follows Chaos is filled with imaginative touches. In the opening ‘The Elements’, danced by Mlles. Salle and Mariette and by Ms. Air, the violin and bass heavily portray Earth while the flute (or in this case, Dumoulin, Dupre, Malter and Javilliers. This Divertissement, which recorder) imitates the flow of Water over the top.

Rebel then The same journal in 1738 tells us: relaxes his programmatic strictures (at the request of his dancers?) and gives us a Loure with hunting calls, two rustic Tambourins, a beautiful canonic Sicillienne, ‘On the 17th and 22nd of March there were performances of and a final brilliantCaprice . So why make an arrangement for 4 players of a large ‘Chaos’ by M. Rebel Senior, the which, in the judgment of the scale symphonic work? LES ELEMENS : 4 LES ELEMENS : 5 Sadly, Rebel’s full score doesn’t survive and every performance of Les Elemens, orchestral or otherwise, is in some measure an adaptation. Interestingly this doesn’t necessarily work against his intentions. What does survive is a short score which he published shortly after the premiere (this was the most common way to disseminate orchestral music at the time); 1 or 2 treble lines and a figured bass with occasional indications of scoring, which was intended for use in the home. By publishing the work in this format Rebel was opening up the possibility of performances by forces as intimate as ours, and indeed the score contains helpful advice on how to adjust certain movements so that they can even be performed by a single flute and harpsichord. It seems natural to us to pair Rebel with his friend and colleague at court; Marin Marais (1656-1728). In keeping with the theme of arrangement, we wanted to take up the challenge that Marais makes to purchasers of his 2nd book of piéces de violes; ‘I have taken care in composing these works to make them suitable for performance upon all sorts of instruments; the Organ, Harpsichord, Theorbo, Lute, Violin, Flute (he expands this list in his 3rd book to include the Guitar and Recorder), and I dare to flatter myself that I have succeeded...’ (I’d love to hear some Marais played on a large French Baroque Organ!) Marais also comments that in making arrangements he finds the combination of string and wind instruments particularly successful; ‘Fort Agreable’. Our Suite in A minor is drawn from various places: The Prelude from 3rd book PALLADIAN ENSEMBLE and Rondeau from 5th book, The Fantasie from 2nd book, and the Tombeau (for his friend and mentor Pierre Meliton) and Chaconne from 1st book.

  • 1998 Spring Programme
    Symphony No.40 in G minor K.550 It is unclear exactly why Mozart wrote his final three symphonies (numbers 39, 40 and 41), but they were completed within the space of six weeks during June, July and August of 1788. This was some two years after he had written the "Prague" symphony (number 38), and it may be that he regarded these three works as his last fling at the genre. The G minor symphony is different in mood to its two symphonic neighbours. There is a passionate quality to this work that is far removed from the joie de vivre of number 39, for example. It is its restlessness, though, which strikes the listener from the outset during an unusually quiet opening. The second movement has a rare intensity of expression, and even the rhythmically based last movement has a serious nature to it. I hope you feel that it makes a fitting prelude to the C minor Mass. Mass in C minor K.427 Mozart promised to write a mass in celebration of his marriage to Constanze Weber on August 4th 1782. The idea was to perform the work in Salzburg when the newly weds visited Mozart's father and sister. This indeed happened and the work, which consisted of only four movements (Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus and Benedictus), was first performed in St. Peter's, Salzburg on October 26th 1783. Mozart never completed the mass, although he had drafted two sections of the Credo, and you will hear a completion of these tonight along with Mozart's four completed movements.

  • Decca Discography
    DECCA DISCOGRAPHY >>4 GREAT BRITAIN: digital, 1979-2008 In the early 1970s the advent of Anthony Rooley, the Consort of Musicke, Emma Kirkby, Christopher Hogwood and the Academy of Ancient Music brought a fresh look at repertoire from Dowland to Purcell, Handel, Mozart and eventually Beethoven. Solti recorded with the LPO from 1972 and the National Philharmonic was booked regularly from 1974-84. Also during the 1970s the London Sinfonietta’s surveys of Schönberg and Janá ček were recorded. Ashkenazy’s second career as a conductor centred initially on London, with the Philharmonia from 1977 and the RPO from 1987. Philip Pickett’s New London Consort joined the Florilegium roster in 1985 and Argo’s new look brought in a variety of ensembles in the 1990s. But after an LPO Vaughan Williams cycle was aborted in 1997, Decca’s own UK recordings comprised little more than piano music and recital discs. Outside London, Argo recorded regularly in Cambridge and Oxford. Decca engaged the Welsh National Opera from 1980-96 and the Bournemouth Symphony from 1990-96, but otherwise made little use of regional British orchestras. By the time they raised their performing standards to an acceptable level, Chandos, Hyperion and Naxos had largely replaced the old majors in the market for orchestral sessions. >RV0 VENUES One hundred and seventy different venues were used, eighty-eight in the London area and eighty-two elsewhere in Britain, but only one in ten (those in bold ) hosted thirty or more entries, whilst seventy were only visited once. LONDON AREA ABBEY ROAD STUDIOS , St.John’s Wood, London NW8 (1931), initially restricted to EMI labels, were opened to all from 1968.

Early Music Reimagined For Clarinet Consorts. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2015. Early music for instrumental consorts dates back to the 16th century. Clarinet choirs have existed only since the last decade of the 19th century. About three hundred years worth of consort music remains untouched by clarinetists. As a result, these arrangements are severely underrepresented in the clarinet choir repertoire. This project reimagines six pieces of early music, placing the clarinet backwards in time when it was a nonexistent instrument. Mainly focusing on genres from the Renaissance and Baroque, this document addresses performance practice issues for the performing clarinet consort. The selections span a variety of early genres from antiphonal choir, galliard, bransle, trio sonata, passacaille, and symphony. Discussion of performance practice is tailored specifically for each piece including instrumentation, dynamics, articulation, and ornamentation. Historical context about the composer and their composition is also included in the project.
