Orion (Lacoste)
''Orion'' is an opera by the French composer Louis Lacoste on a libretto by Joseph de Lafont and Simon-Joseph Pellegrin. It was first performed at the Paris Opera (at the time known as "Académie royale de Musique") on 19 February 1728 and was performed for the last time on 12 March 1728. The reduced score was printed ''in quarto'' by Christophe Ballard. ''Orion'' only received a modest success and was never staged nor performed again for another season. However, extracts have already been played by the ensemble Fuoco e Cenere in 2019. A libretto by La Font, ''Hypermnestre'', won considerable success in 1716 with the music of Charles-Hubert Gervais. Pellegrin has made himself known in 1713 with the tragédie lyrique '' Médée & Jason'' (music by François-Joseph Salomon) but his most brilliant success would be ''Jephté'' in 1732 (music by Michel Pignolet de Montéclair), followed by ''Hippolyte & Aricie'' in 1733 (music by Jean-Philippe Rameau). La Font died in 1725 before t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Claude Vivier
Claude Vivier ( ; baptised as Claude Roger; 14 April 19487 March 1983) was a Canadian contemporary composer, pianist, poet and ethnomusicologist of Québécois origin. After studying with Karlheinz Stockhausen in Cologne, Vivier became an innovative member of the "German Feedback" movement, a subset of what is now known as spectral music. He was also among the first composers in either Europe or the Americas to integrate elements of Balinese music and gamelan in his compositions, alongside Lou Harrison, John Cage and fellow Québécois Colin McPhee. Despite working at a slow pace and leaving behind a small ''oeuvre'', Vivier's musical language is vast and diverse. His place in the spectral movement of Europe allowed for manipulations of the harmonic series, and led to music that incorporated microtones to replicate these frequencies; a compositional technique he would later refer to as the ''jeux de couleurs''. He is also known for incorporating elements of serialism and d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Orion (Vivier)
''Orion'' is a 1979 orchestral suite by Claude Vivier, inspired by the constellation of the same name. It is among the first compositions in Vivier's catalogue to delve into a unique compositional style he referred to as the ''jeux de couleurs''. A typical performance lasts around thirteen minutes. History In early 1979, Vivier received a joint-commission from the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal (OSM) and the Canada Council for the Arts (CCA), to compose a new work for the orchestra. It was completed in an uncharacteristically short amount of time, with the final manuscript being published on 6 October of the same year. The piece was premiered years later on 14 October 1982, at the Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier in Montreal, Canada, with the OSM under conductor Charles Dutoit. Composition Program notes The notes given by Vivier in the finished manuscript, with English translation given below: Une mélodie à la trompette, encore la trompette, comme dans ''Kopernikus'', instrument d ...
