Handel / Fiorita / Dolci - Ode for St Cecilia's Day - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Since it's founding in 1898, the now famous choir has attracted thousands of visitors from across the United States and beyond to the annual Bethlehem Bach Festival in Pennsylvania. According to a note on the score, the Song for Saint Cecilia's Day (HWV 76) - usually referred to as the Ode for Saint Cecilia's Day - took just 10 days to compose, between September 15 and 24, 1739. The Ode is not an oratorio but rather a sequence of movements, comprising instrumental pieces, declarative recitatives, expressive arias, and powerful choruses that extol music and it's patron saint.

The music on this album by 0 was composed in 2013 to be played over a silent movie by Ozu Yasujiro and performed at the cinema l'Atalante in Bayonne (France). It was written by Sylvain Chauveau of the full-time members of the band for 4 acoustic instruments 2 guitars, 1 flute and 1 vibraphone. The members of 0 performing this music are Stéphane Garin, Jùlia Gàllego, Joël Merah, Sylvain Chauveau. The original music is 90 minutes long, the duration of the film, but especially for the album the band has decided to record a shorter version, a selection of tracks. Although the film happens in Japan in the 1930s, Sylvain has decided to keep few inspiration from Japanese music, mainly from traditional music for shakuhachi, koto and shamisen. The rest of the inspiration comes from more American music (Morton Feldman, Town and Country) and tries to stay as close as possible to 0's acoustic aesthetic like on the album Soñando (already released on flau).
