Classique

Description :

(Included with the score are the organ and the piano part (there's available a pack with 20 copies of the parts for the chorus). In case the work is to be performed by more than 20 singers it will be necessary to purchase additional copies of the chorus parts, wich are available in packs of 20 copies).
On 11th March 1911, the great pianist and composer Enric Granados performed this piece as an absolute premiere at Barcelona's modernista concert hall Palau de la Música Catalana.
In spite of the great success achieved on the day of the premiere by this ambitious work for piano, organ and three choirs whose words in Catalan were provided by an unknown writer, the piece was never again performed or published. Its manuscript was assumed to be lost for decades and it was even thought that it might have been burnt in a fire. Finally, the pianist and Granados specialist Douglas Riva recovered it and offered it to Boileau Editorial de Música for publication.
El Cant de les estrelles was performed once again on 22nd March 2007, 96 years after its first performance, in New York's Ascension Church, with Douglas Riva himself at the piano and Dennis Keene conducting.
