Par SPARKE PHILIP. Morning Song features the horn quartet mostly in a soloistic role - indeed there is an accompanied cadenza towards the end of the piece - but there are moments where the horns assume their conventional brass band role as harmonic support or playing the counter melody. This expressive composition shows all the versatility of the horn quartet and gives them the chance to be in the…

Par VAUGHAN WILLIAMS RALPH. 'Quartet In C Minor' is in four movements with a total duration of about 25 minutes. The opening Allegro is similar in style to Dvorak in its lyricism, though there is a darker, more brooding atmosphere towards the close. It is tempting to detect a hint of folk-song in the theme of the Andantino, played by the viola, but that may be stretching hindsight too far. The mov…

This one will come together very quickly, with simple rhythms and carefully considered ranges. There's even an optional advanced percussion part to add interest. / Niveau : 0.5 / Pièce de concert / Rép…

Par KNUSSEN OLIVER. This enchanting 8-minute piece for violin and piano - Oliver Knussen's penultimate work - is made up of various kinds of musical reflection: melody reflected in its inversion: a six-note mode reflected in its complement: and the relationships between the three main parts of the piece, which are in a way varied reflections of each other. There are some reflections in water, too,…
