Lourié - A Phoenix Park Nocturne

[FliegendeHollaender]

anyone familiar with score websites other than tarakanov.notes, scorserdotcom, pianofiles, etc? looking for Berio scores. Hope someone can help.

Magical.

[exelpaperclip123]

Beautiful!

[clubsandwedge]

Phoenix Park? Could this be a reference to the park in Dublin?

[rojorunner27]

@clubsandwedge Yes it is. My copy of this says "to the memory of James Joyce" under the title. Phoenix Park was in Finnegans Wake by Joyce. I guess Lourie read the book. I'm learning this currently and happen to live 15 min away from where he spent the last years of his life.

I love the part between 2.23 - 2.37. So pretty! :D.

[addeex1]

@TheImpressionnant Heh I fell in love with that place too!

[ludwigvan17]

Wonderful.

[Dnomasorneiluj]

electro before the time

[IlCOLElI]

@Dnomasorneiluj try asking Google

[Stivanification]

how great is this piece and this interpretation?

[mynameisnancyblahaha]

this is beautiful!

[trolleybus77]

This is a wonderful music!!! I often listening this piece...

[jasonextreme]

These other geniuses need to be more famous.

[spartan1081990]

0:18 sounds the same what is so perfect about it? the beggining is perfect, so relaxing

[huzzzzzzahh]

0:18 absolutely perfect

[mcbainst]

God, i fucking love this piece. i keep wearing out the replay button!! GENIUS

[kamiljj]

brilliant, structure-wise it sounds more like an improvised piece to me, than a composition, but again..love it :))

[THALBERG81]

Wunderschön!

[buhrandonzz]

It's amazing how composers like Lourie, Griffes, and Alkan can go completely unnoticed. Unfortunately, I've only listened to a little bit of Lourie, but from the few pieces I've listened to, I am very, very impressed. He might be one of my newest favorite composers.

[Composerland]

Thanks for giving us opportunities to hear fine music like this.

[DrGymJunkie]

This piece is so adorable. I like how it 'bops' contrasting with the more flowing and 'Russian romantic' sections. Seems like a great recital or even competition piece. And playable too for the moderately advanced amateur (with a bit of work of course).

[v4liumfrance]

It's strange it's not known

[Darrning]

GREAT STEFFEN!!!!!

[yaarge2]

Thanks for score and upload, *****

[Kylymageeli]

this is very different from the other weird songs of lourie that i heard... but i like this

[ultracoolhomies]

My favourite piece by Lourie.

[videoclog]

Many thanks for this lovely upload.

Arthur Lourié is one of my favourite composers of the twentieth centrury. I don't understand why his work is so unknown. He wrote three interesting string quartets, a beautiful violin concerto and an intriguing (but unperformed) opera called "The Blackamoor of Peter the Great".

Lourié's music is very hand to find on CD and in the concert hall. I sincerely hope that this will change in the near future.

[Markohoppis]

Five flats, range from D1 to E6, difficult rhythm with sixty-fourth notes, sense of tonality is lost.

It would be an accomplishment just to read the damn thing.

[mradipatti]

wikipedia describes lourie as cultivating his image as " somewhat of an aesthete and a dandy"....... my man !

If only Modeste Moussorgsky would have taken equal care of himself. Moscow is a rough pace.

[william366]

Pour moi, c'est un choc. Que c'est beau !

[liszter]

You can find the PDF score to this piece on Pianophilia by doing some hunting in the "Russian and Soviet composers (misc)" thread.

[Cardossian]

I think the idea of having a score moving along with the music is wonderful! Thank you!

[123eldest]

why do keep saying that!

[bshark88]

yes, where can this music be purchased?

[HyneseyBoy]

Amazing music - thanks for sharing!

[Barnaldomort]

why is vibrato indicated in the score?!?!?!?!?

Regardless this is a lovely, meditative piece with a plethora of emotions, just my type of music!

Hexameron you really have some interesting, obscure but nonetheless beautiful music. Thankyou for uploading it!

:)

[TheWanderingNight]

Wonderful.

@Barnaldomort It's probably a musical instruction to leave the pedal on; the French (and much more commonly seen) equivalent would be "laissez vibrer", though strictly in Italian, it would be "lasciare vibrare" instead of "vibrato".

[Barnaldomort]

@TheWanderingNight I see what you mean, cela a beaucoup plus de sens merci :) I just instantly though of the connotations of vibrato with string instruments!

[comrademarxist]

Quasi-romantic, luminous, with a mechanical, modern pulse. I'm glad I found this composition.

[ScriabinFanatic]

Ah I must inquire as well. You have such a plethora of rare gems from obscure names. Is there some company selling these sheets or a cd even. I checked imslp and many of these people are not on there, I suspect due to not being in public domain yet.

[Ungoliant101]

if you could tell me where to find the sheets for this or where to order that'd be awesome :D

[sanctusignis]

I searched for the sheet music, but I didn't see anywhere to even purchase it. Where did you get it?

[123eldest]

had to learn it after hearing this.

[defdeezy]

mindblowing

[Astathis]

so unusual, I love it

[Jokk49]

Magnifique ! Merci !

[dreampoets]

absolutely incredible ! how does one order this obscure wonderment?

[Daartan]

My question as well; Are you aware of a site/publisher selling this music Hexameron? Is it perhaps in the public domain?

Any help finding it would be very appreciated :)
