Ungarische National-melodien and Other Songs : Suppl. 7

This volume contains Liszt's earliest pieces written in a Hungarian style. The complete set of Magyar dallok / Ungarische National-Melodien [Hungarian songs] consisting of 11 items is published here for the first time in a scholarly edition. The composer began to write them resulting from his first return visit to Pest in 1839. The music of these pieces was partly re-used by Liszt at the beginning of the 1850s in his deservedly popular 15 Hungarian Rhapsodies. The Carnival at Pest was inspired by his second tour of Hungary in 1846: it was later re-worked as the 9th Hungarian Rhapsody. The present volume also contains the so far unknown very first version of the 1st HungarianRhapsody, and in addition two large fragments from the 1840s plus a number of album leaves.

Bad

Five years after the release of the monster album Thriller, which sold a record-breaking 105 million copies worldwide up to this date, this second single from the album Bad, released in 1987, also peaked at number one on the Billboard chart. This song was performed during Michael’s first solo world tour that started from Japan (Korakuen Stadium) in September 1987. The short film directed by Martin Scorsese also generated great publicity. In particular, the animated group dance scene in the subway made a huge impact on the viewers and distinguished Michael’s image. As the video depicts, “bad” in this song’s lyrics indicate the kicking, cool unruly living on thestreets. As the opening number, Bad strikes out a course of slight-but-right edginess with its dynamically groovy arrangement that underscores the electric funk in the original tune. Don’t miss the last punch line: Who’s bad?

Free Running

Free Running is an exciting, high velocity tour-de-force that will keep both musicians and the audience on the edge of their seats. Inspiration for the work came from the pointillistic paintings of Seurat (who createdimages by using tiny spots of primary colors on his canvas) and from Parkour, a form of urban acrobatics in which participants, known as free runners, use the structures of the rural landscape to perform catlike leaps and sprints.The resulting creation is a non-stop piece of music made up of only staccato notes in a constant rhythm moving through different sections of the ensemble. Free Running was commissioned by the Troy University Symphony Bandfor the 2011 Alabama Music Educators Association Convention. Ideal for concert or festival use, it is guaranteed to leave the audience breathless! Dur: 5:10Recorded by the Troy University Symphony Band - Ralph Ford,conductor

Orphée aux enfers (version 1874 chant et piano)

Créé au Théâtre des Bouffes-Parisiens le 21 octobre 1858, l’opéra bouffon en 2 actes Orphée aux enfers de Jacques Offenbach (1819-1880), sur un livret d’Henri Crémieux et de Ludovic Halévy, constitua le premier succès lyrique de l’éditeur Heugel puisque l’œuvre réussit à s’imposer rapidement sur les scènes du monde entier (1860 à Vienne, l’année suivante à New-York...). Cette parodie mythologique, qui choqua nombre de bien-pensants, ne cherchait nullement à profaner la légende originelle ou même l’opéra de Gluck, mais plutôt à railler l’utilisation abusive qu’en faisait une certaine élite académique : pour échapper à la momification, rien de tel qu’une salve de rires ! La musique de celui que l’on surnommera bientôt « le roi du Second Empire » réussit le tour de force d’allier la plus grande légèreté au raffinement. Il s’agit ici de l’édition piano-chant de la seconde version d’Orphée aux enfers, repris triomphalement en 1874 au Théâtre de la Gaîté avec le sous-titre : opéra-féérie en 4 actes et 12 tableaux.
