Instrumentation : soprano and piano (organ)Description : Panis angelicus' was originally composed by César Franck (1822-9) for tenor/soprano, organ, harp and cello. Later, he rearranged the hymn several times. Today, the piece is one of his most popular works and, despite having its liturgical origin in Eucharistic adoration, is often performed at festive events such as weddings.Date de parution : 11/09/2008Nombre de pages : 4Collection : Edition Schott - Single EditionFormat : New Edition portrait

SilèneCantata for bass, two violins and continuoThe present work, Silène, is taken from his second book of cantatas, published in Paris in 1714. The text of Silène is by Antoine Danchet, a librettist much in demand at the time, particularly for the compositions of tragédies lyriques. Campra collaborated with him over a long period from Hésione (1700) to Achille et Deidamie (1735). Danchet based his libretto for Silène on the sixth Eclogue of Publius Virgilius Maro (Virgil, 70-19 BCE) the classical pastoral poet. In it two shepherd boys Chromis and Mnasyllus come across Silenus sleeping in a cave, and to tease him into singing for them, tie him up, abetted by the naiad Aegle. Awoken, Silenus promises them a song, and a quite different treat for the lovely naiad. Virgil's original song is a hymn to pastoral bliss, but Danchet gives us a song extolling drink. Campra gives us an air abounding with Italianate vivacity.
