Delage Music Bacri N. - Sonatine et Capriccio Op. 131 - Saxophone

Summary of This Book

This book offers a clear and well-documented presentation of Nicolas Bacri, a French composer whose work has continuously gained recognition over the years. Awarded the Grand Prix de la Musique symphonique from S.A.C.E.M. in 2006 and nominated five times at the "Victoires de la musique classique" (2004, 2005, 2007, 2008, and 2012), Bacri establishes himself as an essential name for musicians, music lovers, and those curious about contemporary creation.

Throughout the text, you will find a precise overview of the breadth of his catalogue: seven Symphonies, six Cantatas, and eleven concertos (including four for violin, two for clarinet, and two for trumpet, as well as concertante pieces for cello, piano, and flute). The book also discusses several notable concertante works, such as Requiem, Folia, Symphonie concertante, Les 4 Saisons, Une Prière, Divertimento, and Notturno, demonstrating a compositional approach designed for numerous instruments and ensembles.

The chamber and vocal dimensions are equally present: eight String Quartets, four Piano Trios, as well as Sonatas and Suites for violin, viola, and cello, not to mention eleven Motets for a cappella choir. Finally, this book highlights the growing resonance of this music outside France, with sustained performances in Germany, as well as in Great Britain, Sweden, Finland, the USA, and Asia - a useful reference to situate Bacri's importance in today's symphonic and chamber music landscape.
