Saint-Saëns : Septuor for Trumpet, Piano, Two Violins, Viola, Violoncello, and Double Bass in E-flat Major, Op. 65 Part / Bärenreiter Urtext

Description

For many years, Camille Saint-Saëns resisted writing a chamber piece featuring the trumpet for his friend Émile Lemoine and his chamber music society La Trompette. He famously remarked, “I can happily write you a concerto for twenty-five guitars […] but for trumpet? Impossible.” However, in 1880, he composed the Préambule, and by 1881, he completed the full Septuor, a work for trumpet, two violins, viola, violoncello, double bass, and piano.

With its neo-baroque character and refined elegance, this piece became remarkably popular during Saint-Saëns’ lifetime, much to the composer’s surprise. The work is both playful and sophisticated, blending the brilliance of the trumpet with the warmth of the string ensemble and the richness of the piano.

Performance Notes

This Urtext edition, based on the corresponding volume Camille Saint-Saëns – Œuvres instrumentales complètes (BA10302-01), provides a scholarly and authoritative version of the score. The set includes individual parts for piano, trumpet in both E-flat and B-flat, and strings. Additional string parts are available to accommodate performances with multiple players per part, as was customary in Saint-Saëns’ era.

Saint-Saëns : 降E大調七重奏曲，作品 65（小號、鋼琴、兩把小提琴、中提琴、大提琴與低音提琴）分譜 / Bärenreiter Urtext

簡介

長期以來，卡米爾·聖桑（Camille Saint-Saëns）對於為好友艾米爾·勒莫因（Émile Lemoine）及其室內樂團 La Trompette 創作一首帶有小號的室內樂作品感到猶豫不決。他曾幽默地表示：「我可以為你寫一首為二十五把吉他而作的協奏曲……但小號？不可能！」然而，1880年他還是譜寫了Préambule（序奏），並於次年完成了整部《七重奏曲》，作品 65，編制為小號、兩把小提琴、中提琴、大提琴、低音提琴與鋼琴。

這部作品具有新巴洛克風格，在聖桑生前極受歡迎，甚至令作曲家本人感到驚訝。其旋律優雅、結構嚴謹，完美融合了小號的輝煌音色、弦樂的溫暖質感與鋼琴的豐富音響，使其成為室內樂中極具特色的經典之作。
