- Trois Pièces pour flûte seule (1920-21)
I. Bergère captive [0:00]
II. Jade [2:25]
III. Toan-Yan: La fête du double cinq [4:05]
A set of three pieces for solo flute in a quasi-Chinese style by French composer Pierre-Octave Ferroud (1900-1936).
The composer wrote this note describing the third movement:
"The Toan-Yan holiday (or the day of Double Five) is celebrated in China on the fifth day of the fifth month - whence its name - and it is dedicated to the commemoration of a certain hero who flung himself into a body of water and drowned rather than submit to military dishonour. The solemnity of the holiday gives way in turn to mystical and fervid dances which symbolize the contrast between peace and war."
Later in the movement, the theme marked "très libre dans la mesure" [] is described by the following annotation:
"This theme is an authentic Chinese melody that is played on the large recorder - each Chinese instrument has a monopoly on certain musical themes, on account of its form, fingering and extent. One must play it in a chanting manner [psalmodier] with extreme simplicity, and without rhythmic precision."
Flute: Robert Aitken - Hudba
Spirituelle, sensorielle et rebelle, la musique de ce compositeur reflète des impostures secrètes, explore des plaisirs sereins, un monde de rêves renaissants🌺🕊
Absolutely Wonderful !!! Thanks for sharing your gift and talent with us.
Robert Aitken, fantastic musician and flutist!
Wow and double wow. Love the way the music is shown so that we can follow along.
@musicanth, I can't find the words to thank you enough for this work by Pierre-Octave Ferroud which I had never listened to before. It's exquisite...... !!!!
I love the second piece
absolutely beautiful, wow 🤩
hmm I thought this was a good performance.. but then I stumble upon PAHUD'S PERFORMANCE OF THIS. And wooooow for me personally, he took this piece to another level. idk if it's on youtube but I found it on spotify. Now I know why Pahud won those International competitions ;)
But the question of the day is can you play it? That what we all want to know?
Aitken can play circles around Pahud.
I heard Pahud's version first, but I love this one too. It is so interesting to hear how others interpret the same piece. E.g. I prefer the slower pace of the first movement's middle section on this one. Pahud blows through it. It's impressive, but I missed a lot of the nuances of the key change.
If you'd like to see the score, you can find it by searching for "Ferroud" on imslp.org/wiki/
Thanks for being of service !!!!
Beautiful!!!
憧れる🥺
Absolutely beautiful.
beautiful solo part !

Exquisite...
that was so awsome i so want to play that
Amen, brother!
Is this being performed on a Powell flute? The clarity and separation of the notes is extraordinary. And that blazing passage at the very end of the first movement -- phew, Mr. Aitken has serious chops.
He's on the Altus web site as using that brand...or at least endorsing them.
This is from his French Flute Music album, released in 1988 (but recorded in 1980\81), and it was indeed recorded on a Powell! He later switched to a platinum-plated Altus, but this was done on his old Powell.
and thank you for translating it to english
the third piece is the very best, if you want a virtuosic item, but the set very good, and so nice to see what I think are the original scores in action, acquired mine form the CD Rom library (flute) bought from sheet music plus and delivered pronto to far off NZ at such $ friendly rates
Great!!!
wow the low notes almost sound like an oboe! such an interesting piece.
Lucien Rebatet écrit dans son Histoire de la Musique, à la rubrique « Le Néo-classicisme en France » : « Le Triton n’était pas un groupe, mais un lieu de rencontre par ses concerts qui, bien qu’éclectiques offraient à peu près seuls dans le Paris du moment l’occasion d’entendre Bartok, Schoenberg, Edgar Varèse, parfois même Webern. Le Triton avait été fondé en 1932 par un élève de Florent Schmitt, Pierre-Octave Ferroud, qui devait se tuer quatre ans plus tard en voiture à trente-six ans. Intelligent, sans préjugés, né pour son rôle d’animateur, pressentant peut-être une évolution de musique qui l’entraînerait très loin de Ravel et de Fauré, Ferroud poussait jusqu’à la brutalité ses œuvres dont il ne reste malheureusement pas grand-chose. » Rebatet ne connaissait-il pas ces extraordinaires chinoiseries pour flûte enchantée ?
I've never seen time signatures with just one number. I'm assuming the bottom number is 4. And I have never seen so many time signature changes in one (3) piece.
I feel like Jade was a bit rushed but that could be because I prefer to play a slower version myself
Wondervul!
Wonderful piece ...thanks for upload ...folk provenance ??
Je voudrais faire ici de l'acte d'écriture un art de la reprise, une lutte acharnée, un combat interminable contre toutes les forces négatives de commentaires écrits déposés ici comme des étrons fastidieux et méphitiques ! J'aimerais que l'écriture retrouve son pouvoir d’invocation et ne se cantonne pas aux "Amazing!" "Wonderful" "Great" "Merveilleux" et autres "Thanks for sharing" qui me font dresser les cheveux sur la tête !.......
I bergerecaptiveという曲について知りたいんですが誰か教えて頂けませんか？
Such beautiful playing except they didn't play any of the glissandos :(
I would like to be able to study the scores, is to make them available?

@202tretre that's French for 'thank you for the score, clakos.' obviously, clakos is the user name. there are free translation tools online. even if english is your 2nd or 3rd language, others may not have had the same opportunities. i know people who speak 5 languages, but english isn't one of them. the historical accident of english becoming the international language gives great advantages to its native speakers, yet many of them choose to remain hopelessly ignorant of the rest of the world.
@Clakosclakosx speak english????
