Berlioz ne révèle aucun talent musical particulier dans son enfance ; ses parents ne sont pas musiciens. Vers l’âge de treize ans il apprend à jouer de la flûte à bec et de la guitare et prend des cours de chant. En 1821 il s’installe à Paris et marche sur les pas de son père en suivant un temps les cours de la Faculté de Médecine. Mais au bout d’un an et au grand désespoir de ses parents il abandonne ses études et entre au Conservatoire de Paris. Sa passion pour l’actrice irlandaise Harriet Smithson qu’il épousera quelques années plus tard (un mariage malheureux) a largement influencé sa vie et sa musique. Lorsqu’il remporte le Prix de Rome en 1830 Berlioz avait déjàcomposé quelques œuvres majeures dont la Symphonie Fantastique . Berlioz devient la figure essentielle du romantisme français. Ses œuvres sont dominées par ses idées novatrices.La première version de l’ouverture Le Corsaire remonte à un séjour que Berlioz fit à Nice en 1844. L’œuvre fut donnée en création sous le titre La Tour de Nice . Par la suite Berlioz remania sa composition et lui donnera son titre définitif Le Corsaire . La référence au roman poétique de Lord Byron à qui le compositeur vouait une grande admiration reste une supposition qui ne fait pas l’unanimité.Cette ouverture fut particulièrement saluée pour son originalité. La musique déborde d’énergie et les effets sont fantastiques. Il n’est donc pas surprenant de constater que Le Corsaire est une des œuvres orchestrales les plus connues et les plus jouées de Berlioz.

A fantastic arrangment of this song from Griegs Peer Gynt Suite No. 2.

A lovely arrangement that is suitable for either flute or oboe.

Clara Schumann's dramatic setting of the poem Lorelei was a birthday gift to her husband Robert in 1843. Her mastery of the keyboard is evident in this exciting and descriptive accompaniment that features driving eighth-note figures reminiscent of Schubert's Erlkönig.

In imitation of the huge ‘House rage’ (at the end of the eighties) John Emerson Blackstone composed ‘House of Dance’ for youth orchestra. It proved to be a success. House owes its name to the place where this music was ‘developed’ i.e. an old night club called ‘The Warehouse’ in Chicago. Many subcultures followed. Whether you like the style or not one thing is certain: House music (also called Dance music) for many provides the basis for hours of fun on the dance floor.

St. Michael-The French composer Louis Bourgeois lived from c.1510 to 1560. Bourgeois was cantor in Geneva and commissioned by John Calvin he composed melodies for metrical (rhyming) versions of the psalms. After completing about a hundred one-part psalms he made some four-part arrangements which were denounced and even resulted in his imprisonment for a day. Later Bourgeois published a number of psalm collections and judging from his book Le droict chemin de musique he was also an excellent educator. The melodies Bourgeois composed are (contrary to Gregorian chants) particularly suitable for community singing. This applies to his hymn tune Saint Michael which is why this melody hasbeen used for various texts written for many occasions. John Blanken made this arrangement for a wedding ceremony: an occasion in which faith and trust play a large - if not the largest - role. Hence the title Hymn of Faith. The arrangement contains four verses of the hymn. After a majestic opening the hymn follows twice the second verse being embellished in the tenor register. After a short interlude verse three follows played by a quartet. The majestic opening is then repeated as a modulation into the fourth verse which concludes the work in a brilliant tutti.
