Tube planétaire, #1 aux USA pendant 6 semaines, le géantissime Eye of the Tiger , composé à la demande de Sylvester Stallone lui-même pour la bande originale de Rocky III (1982), est aussi pêchu et inoubliable que le film. Pour la petite histoire, ' l'oeil du tigre ' représente la rage de vaincre que l'on peut lire dans les yeux de ceux qui ' en veulent '? et qu'incarne parfaitement la saga des Ro…

Par TCHAIKOVSKI PIOTR ILITCH. The Dance Of The Jesters was composed as incidental music for the ballet The Snow Maidens.

Par PAUSET BRICE. Il existe, de la main de Roland Barthes, une suite de huit feuillets portant le titre éminemment programmatique de Vita Nova. Ce texte, ou plutôt ces esquisses patiemment ajustées ont le ton d'un mot d'ordre intime, presque Pascalien (Pascal est d'ailleurs cité explicitement dans le texte). La première phrase (le monde comme objet contradictoire de spectacle et d'indifférence) es…

Par STEFANELLI MATTHIEU. Composée entre 2019 et 2020, cette oeuvre est un hommage à la cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris. Suite à l'incendie, le titre m'est apparu comme une évidence à la vue des premières images à l'intérieur de l'édifice et m'a tout de suite donné l'envie d'écrire une composition à son sujet : les rosaces avaient totalement survécu à la catastrophe, intactes, et des faisceaux lumin…

One summer day, in a provincial villa far away from the big city, the Piano Wizard sat down at his piano to finally compose the great symphonic suite that he had already been hearing in his head for a long time. The Wizard was a very peculiar person. He lived alone in his villa where books, records, musical scores, various me…

Par HARVEY JONATHAN. The text of this work is by Bishop J Cosin, based on Veni Creator Spiritus. The music is based on a pentatonic chord throughout, and reflects the floating rhythms of plainchant. The piece builds to a wonderful and ecstatic climax using a set of aleatoric overlapping vocal phrases. Commissioned by 1984 Southern Cathedrals Festivaland first performed at Winchester Cathedral in J…
