L'Oiseau Bleu by Anthony Girard

2009-01-26T15:03:00.002+01:00

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

2008-12-04T09:59:00.000+01:00

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

2008-05-14T17:33:00.003+02:00

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

2008-05-07T18:44:00.002+02:00

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. :-)

2008-03-31T14:44:00.003+02:00

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!

2008-02-27T11:37:00.002+01:00

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

2008-02-21T00:54:00.002+01:00

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.
