Happy Birthday, Mr Darwin! by Michel Lysight

ceciliadlibitum@gmail.com (Cecilia Ad Libitum) — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 20:00:00 +0000

A new score by Michel Lysight has just been released: Happy Birthday, Mr Darwin! for 2 trumpets, horn and trombone, or for saxophone quartet.

A gorgeous musical illustration of the 'order out of chaos' mechanism.

While transforming and agglutinating, the short cells of the beginning of this quartet develop gradually from simple to complex, illustrating musically Charles Darwin’s ‘evolution theory’, as an homage to this great scientist, who was born 100 years ago.

For more info, and downloadable parts, go to the composer’s page.

Sob Out by Oleg Paiberdin

ceciliadlibitum@gmail.com (Cecilia Ad Libitum) — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 11:47:00 +0000

Sob Out for clarinet quartet or sax quartet has just been released.

One of the musicians of the Scottish Clarinet Quartet, Alex South, has spoken about Sob Out: "I enjoy the overlapping lines, the harmonies, the range of dynamics, the way the parts interlock, but most of all the feeling behind it."

For more info, take a look at the composer’s page.

L'Oiseau Bleu by Anthony Girard

noreply@blogger.com (Virgile) — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 14:03:00 +0000

According to Anthony Girard, the music creation should lead to a space of freedom and plenitude. Poetry and mysticism are most important to understand his language evolution. If purely musical stylistic influences such as the modern French school, Gregorian chant and the roots of polyphony, the music of India or minimalism, cannot be excluded, the real key to his cursus are his literary and spiritual affinities.

Inspired by the fairy poetics of Maeterlinck, L'Oiseau Bleu comes in the wake of repetitive minimalist pieces by introducing a mixture of naivete, humor and melancholy. Originally conceived for six flutes altos, it sounds just as well for a sextet of clarinets. A version for piano is available.

Adagio by Michel Lysight

noreply@blogger.com (Virgile) — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 08:59:00 +0000

Michel Lysight's « Adagio » is available!

Written in 2008, Adagio is a key-work of Michel Lysight's catalogue. The use of canon brings an intense expressivity ending in a tragical climax.

You can listen (and look) to samples on Michel Lysight's page.

Sentimento latino

noreply@blogger.com (Virgile) — Wed, 14 May 2008 15:33:00 +0000

In 1995, following a suggestion by Piotr Lachert, Henrique (Morozowicz) de Curitiba composed eight short dances for young pianists interested in study of Latin rhythms : beguine, tango, cha-cha-cha, guarania, bolero, samba, rumba, xaxado. The success was instantly and a transcription for two guitars was done by Orlando Fraga.

I am very happy to announce that both versions of Sentimento Latino joined our catalogue. They are available on Henrique's page.

Fantasia Sertaneja

noreply@blogger.com (Virgile) — Wed, 07 May 2008 16:44:00 +0000

Bruno Abrantes Basseto's Fantasia Sertaneja for wind quintet is finally available!

Bruno Abrantes Basseto was born in São Paulo, Brazil. Teacher, composer and oboe player, had also worked with electroacoustic music and computer music as a researcher at the University of São Paulo.

Fascinated by the musical gesture and convinced of the existence of a true musical language, he discards the avant-garde conceptualism and devotes himself to the production for traditional vocal and instrumental groups, focusing the communicative aspects of music and its live performance.

His music may be described as deeply evocative and having beautiful and extense melodic lines, with a great care to polyphonic structures. Full of extra-musical meanings, his music makes use of any available compositional technique, with a notorious influence from brazilian popular music and jazz, having Beauty as the unique goal.

You can look to samples on Bruno Abrantes Basseto's page... and you can buy it at the very same place. :-)

Hexagramme

noreply@blogger.com (Virgile) — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 12:44:00 +0000

Michel Lysight's «Hexagramme» is available! Six voices (performed by any instrument) build a work with an obsessive rhythmical structure.

Scores for clarinet choir and for string sextet, as well as instrumental parts, are freely downloadable here.

You can listen (and look) to samples on Michel Lysight's page.

The score in C is available for sale at the very same place. :-)

Let's evangelize!

noreply@blogger.com (Virgile) — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 10:37:00 +0000

New Consonant Music is daily performed by famous performers and ensembles.

Some of them give our composers a very important place in their concerts and recordings, year after year. They were the first performers to work (sometimes very hard!) in studying new works composed by young composers. They were courageous enough to propose this new music to an audience unfamiliar with contemporary music... or disappointed by modernist experimentations. They demonstrated that contemporary music may bring pleasure and beauty.

They are now the hard core of our brand new Evangelists program.

Henrique de Curitiba

noreply@blogger.com (Virgile) — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 23:54:00 +0000

Very sad news... Henrique 'de Curitiba' Morozowicz died Monday 16th February 2008, in Curitiba. He was a great composer a nice person and a friend.

This is not a Bossa

noreply@blogger.com (Virgile) — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 19:24:00 +0000

Michel Lysight's «This is not a Bossa» is available!

This work, written for the famous Brazilian pianist Antonio Eduardo, begins with a rhythm of bossa-nova but alterations of the meter will build a surrealistic atmosphere leading to a brilliant final.
