Summary of This Score
A History of the Arts in Songs - Opera-choral for mixed choir and chamber orchestra (PIANO-VOCAL) offers a true musical journey through major artistic periods. Designed as a suite of sung scenes, this work allows exploration of different styles, atmospheres, and writing colors, while maintaining dramatic coherence adapted to the "choral" format. The piano-vocal reduction effectively supports the setup work (intonation, rhythms, diction, balance) and serves as a solid foundation for rehearsals before the possible integration with a chamber orchestra.
The score is structured into clearly identified sequences, with indicative durations useful for building a show flow, managing transitions, and calibrating overall time. Included are:
Prologue: 1m 07s
Antiquity: 3m 41s
Rise of the Romans
- Intro: 37s
- Canon and Coda: 3m 25s
Ecclesiastical Foundation Beginnings: 2m 48s
Gregory the Great: 3m 37s
The Age of Knights Crusades Song: 1m 48s

Modernity: 5m 28s
Thanks to this stylistic progression, this mixed choir score provides a stimulating support to work on polyphonic listening, text comprehension, and expressiveness, while offering a spectacular form suitable for the stage (thematic concert, choral project, educational program around the history of the arts).
