    The sonata is the composer's second extant work of chamber music, after the Sonata for two clarinets. It was written between August and October 1922 at the same time as the Sonata for clarinet and bassoon and was premiered at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris on 4 January 1923 at a Satie-Poulenc concert organized by Jean Wiener. Poulenc revised the composition in 1945.
    Like most of the composer's chamber music pieces, with the exception of the Cello Sonata, the sonata for horn, trumpet, and trombone has three short movements:
    1. Allegro moderato
    2. Andante
    3. Rondeau
    The character of the music resembles fair music, conforming to the spirit of Les Six. Kathy Henkel described the first movement as a series of dance episodes, the second as a lullaby derived from motifs of the first movement, and the third as a rondo with more light-hearted dance music. She summarizes the piece's "variety of tone colors, striking rhythms, delicious dissonances, and elegant wit".
    Francis Jean Marcel Poulenc ( 7 January 1899 - 30 January 1963) was a French composer and pianist. His compositions include mélodies, solo piano works, chamber music, choral pieces, operas, ballets, and orchestral concert music. Among the best-known are the piano suite Trois mouvements perpétuels (1919), the ballet Les biches (1923), the Concert champêtre (1928) for harpsichord and orchestra, the Organ Concerto (1938), the opera Dialogues des Carmélites (1957), and the Gloria (1959) for soprano, choir and orchestra.
    In addition to composing, Poulenc was an accomplished pianist. He was particularly celebrated for his performing partnerships with the baritone Pierre Bernac (who also advised him in vocal writing) and the soprano Denise Duval, touring in Europe and America with each, and making many recordings. He was among the first composers to see the importance of the gramophone, and he recorded extensively from 1928 onwards.
    In his later years, and for decades after his death, Poulenc had a reputation, particularly in his native country, as a humorous, lightweight composer, and his religious music was often overlooked. During the 21st century more attention has been given to his serious works, with many new productions of Dialogues des Carmélites and La voix humaine worldwide, and numerous live and recorded performances of his songs and choral music.
    The purpose of this video is strictly educational and to promote chamber brass music abroad. Please support composers and performers.

    You are very good and Poulenc is really brilliant. My choir sang "Les Tisserands" in quarantine style. Write this down in the research. You will love it for sure:

    Is it my impression or does the recapitulation of the 2nd theme of mvt 1 become part A of mvt 2 in ternary form? If that's the case, Poulenc geniously worked with sonata form in this piece.

    Thanks for posting this great piece. It's really fun to play along with the score. I have a question, though, about a couple of measures in the trumpet part of III Rondeau. For both the 3rd measure of the Rondeau and the 3rd measure after "2" there is a low C# written per the key signature, but on the recording the trumpet player plays a C natural both times. Just wondering if this should be marked natural on the part or did the player play it wrong? It sounds correct with the C natural being played. Thanks.

    • @chamberbrassscores
      @chamberbrassscores  Před 3 lety +1

      That's a good question. Many times there are mistakes in the score/parts from the editors. Good catch though! I think what they are playing is correct.

    • @TenorCantusFirmus
      @TenorCantusFirmus Před 3 lety +7

      Brasses tend to "fill up" the texture very well, expecially the horn which, in Orchestra, is probably the most important harmonic "filler", so he's taking good advantage of this feature of them.
