for bassoon and concert band-Nicolaï Rimski-Korsakov disait du basson qu’il était « sénile et fourbe en Majeur souffrant et triste en mineur ». Dans le grave et en staccato il est indéniablement comique grotesque et bouffon. Cette diversité de caractère avait déjà inspiré la Commedia dell’arte qui confia à Signor Fagotto l’un des rôles comiques essentiels. Au XVIIIe siècle selon l’usage de l’opéra-comique italien ( opera buffa ) la voix était doublée par un instrument à vent. De Signor Fagotto au basson l’instrument qui allait le seconder il n’y avait qu’un pas. C’est aussi à cette époque que le basson devient un instrument soliste à part entière. Vivaldi lui consacrera près de40 concertos. Sans doute a-t-il été conquis par sa personnalité généreuse comme bien d’autres compositeurs dont Maxime Aulio. Il Signore Fagotto débute avec une introduction orchestrale brillante. Le soliste expose ensuite le thème premier de l’œuvre. L’utilisation presque constante d’un chiffrage de mesure irrégulier (7/8) permet au basson d’accentuer son caractère espiègle et charmant tout en laissant à l’auditeur un espace de liberté suffisant pour imaginer les facéties du personnage. Il Signore Fagotto est une œuvre captivante pour l’accompagnement orchestral et qui offre au basson une superbe partie soliste. Il Signore Fagotto a été donné en création mondiale le 24 avril 2002 par Laurent Le Chenadec (basson) accompagné de l’Orchestre d’Harmonie du Conservatoire National de Région de Toulouse.

The Golden Age is a programmatic composition in four movements. I Overture For the Netherlands the seventeenth century was a period of great flourishing in the fields of economy culture and politics; thus it is called the Golden Age. Overseas trade boomed and the Dutch East India Company (known as the VOC by the Dutch) was founded and expanded to become a powerful -and at the time - modern enterprise. II ¡Adiós españoles! (Farewell Spaniards!) In 1567 the Spanish army invaded led by the Duke of Alva. There was a fierce resistance against the Spanish tyranny; toward the end of the sixteenth century the Dutch proclaimed theRepublic. However the Spanish continued the war. Only with the Treaty of Münster in 1648 did the Dutch get their much sought-after independence. This was also the end of the Eighty Years’ War. III Rembrandt’s Night Watch The field of culture particularly literature painting sculpture architecture the art of printing and cartography developed fast. It was in the Golden Age that the celebrated painter Rembrandt van Rijn created his famous Night Watch. IV The Admiral Overseas trade entailed the colonization of large areas in Asia from where precious products that yielded lots of money were brought in. Surrounding countries were also involved in such practices. Colonizers poached on each other’s territories in the literal and figurative sense - in this context the Anglo-Dutch Sea Wars are legendary. The fourth movement starts with the English patriotic song Rule Britannia after which the Dutch Admiral Michiel de Ruyter makes the English change their tune; one can even hear the roaring of cannons. When the smoke of battle has cleared a small fragment of a Dutch song about Michiel de Ruyter appears followed by a fitting closing.
