Search - Ensemble Double Expression, Sandrine Chaton, Sonia Sempéré :: Chant De Guerre [Ensemble Double Expression; Sandrine Chaton; Sonia Sempéré; Jérome Granjon; Emmanuel Pélaprat] [Continuo: HORTUS711]

In a Europe at war, and with a surprising variety of expression, composers called upon the harmonium as a solo instrument or by including it in a small ensemble. Schmitt revisits patriotic song, Kunc and Jongen sacred music and hymns to the dead. Karg­Elert explores spheres knowingly removed from the conflict, whereas Casella, illustrating images from silent cinema, proposes his war impressions.
