Coarraze (Béarn), à mi-chemin entre Pau et Lourdes par la Plaine de Nay
Le bourg de Coarraze, situé en Béarn, se situe à mi-chemin entre Pau et Lourdes, tout à côté de la commune de Nay.
Parmi le patrimoine qui peut y être admiré, deux édifices retiennent l'attention : le Château dont les éléments les plus anciens (écuries, donjon) remontent au moyen Âge avant une première reconstruction au XVIème Siècle (Renaissance) dont ne subsistent que le portail d'entrée et les salles basses du Château, suivie d'une seconde reconstruction (pour cause d'incendie) au XVIIIème Siècle dans le style Florentin auquel correspondent les façades actuelles. Contrairement à l'ouvrage médiéval à caractère défensif, le corps du Château Renaissance puis Florentin n'a eu pour seule vocation que de servir à l''apparat et aux réceptions. Parmi les occupants célèbres du Château, si un seul devait être cité, ce serait certainement l'illustre Henri IV qui y fut éduqué et y passa son enfance et son adolescence.
Un second patrimoine admirable de Coarraze est l'Eglise St-Vincent Diacre dont la construction initiale remonte au XVIème Siècle. Incendiée à la fin du XVIème S., elle fut reconstruite au XVIIIème Siècle et bénéficia, à cette même période, d'un réhaussement du clocher-porche en forme de tour carrée de style mi-gothique mi-roman datant de la construction d'origine au XVIème S.

Nous irons au musée de la Bande Dessinée voir celle de Jean Harambat, prix Goscinny l’année dernière pour « Opération Copperhead » paru chez Dargaud. Ce prix du meilleur scénario est une belle récompense pour l’auteur Landais, reporter et joueur averti rugby qui répondra à nos questions.
Jérémie Moreau nous accueillera dans l’exposition qui lui est consacrée à l’Alpha, médiathèque d’Angoulême. Ce fan du 9 -ème art depuis sa tendre enfance et multirécompensé à Angoulême (prix de la BD scolaire, prix du jeune talent et prix du meilleur album en 2018 pour « La Sage de Grimr » chez Delcourt ) évoquera sa jeune carrière.
Pour préparer un Festival International de la Bande Dessinée il en faut du travail à son équipe d’organisation, rencontre avec Ezilda Tribot responsable du pôle jeunesse et jeune création. Elle est un peu celle qui mettra en lumière les auteurs de demain.

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)
Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland, BWV 599
(Come now Savior of heathens)
First chorale prelude in the Orgelbüchlein
Below is the first verse of Luther's advent hymn with the translation in English of George MacDonald.
Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland,
der Jungfrauen Kind erkannt!
dass sich wundre alle Welt,
Gott solch' Geburt ihm bestellt.
Come, Saviour of nations wild,
Of the maiden owned the Child,
Fill with wonder all the earth,
God should grant it such a birth.
Although it has often been suggested that this opening advent chorale prelude resembles a French overture, in construction, with its texture of arpeggiated chords, it is more similar to the baroque keyboard preludes of German and French masters, such as Couperin. The accompanying motif in the lower three or sometimes four parts is derived from a suspirans in the melodic line, formed of a semiquaver (16th note) rest—a breath—followed by three semiquavers and a longer fourth note. Some commentators have seen this falling figure as representing a descent to earth, but it could equally well reflect a repetition of the words Nun komm in the text. The suspirans is made up of intervals of a rising second, a falling fourth following by yet another rising second. It is derived from the first line of the melody of the cantus firmus and often shared out freely between voices in the accompaniment. The mystery of the coming of the Saviour is reflected by the somewhat hidden cantus firmus, over harmonies constantly reinventing themselves. It is less predictable and regular than other settings of the same hymn by Bach or predecessors like Buxtehude, only the second and third lines having any regularity. The last line repeats the first but with the suspirans suppressed and the dotted rhythms of the bass replaced by a long pedal note, possibly reflecting the wonder described in the third and fourth lines of the first verse.

The Orgelbüchlein (Little Organ Book) BWV 599−644 is a collection of 46 chorale preludes for organ written by Johann Sebastian Bach. All but three of them were composed during the period 1708–1717, while Bach was court organist at the ducal court in Weimar. The remaining three, along with a short two-bar fragment, were added in 1726 or later, after Bach's appointment as cantor at the Thomasschule in Leipzig.

The Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565, is a piece of organ music written, according to its oldest extant sources, by Johann Sebastian Bach. First published in 1833 through the efforts of Felix Mendelssohn, it became the most famous work in the organ repertoire, owing its popularity in part to arrangements such as the one appearing in Walt Disney's Fantasia. Its attribution to Bach has been doubted in the late 20th century and early 21st century, but no edition of the Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis listed it among the doubtful works, nor does its entry on the website of the Bach Archiv Leipzig even mention such doubts.
In the first century of its existence the entire reception history of the Toccata and Fugue in D minor consists of being saved from oblivion by maybe not more than a single manuscript copy. Then it took about a century from its first publication as a little known organ composition by Johann Sebastian Bach to becoming one of the signature pieces of the composer. The composition's third century took it from Bach's most often recorded organ piece to a composition with an unclear origin. Despite Mendelssohn's opinion that it was at the same time learned and something for the people, followed by a fairly successful piano transcription in the second half of the 19th century, it wasn't until the 1900s that it rose above the average notability of an organ piece by Bach. Stokowski's orchestration, featured in a Disney film in 1940, appears to have been instrumental in assuring its status as an evergreen by the 1980s, around which time scholars started to seriously doubt its attribution to Bach.
The first major public performance was by Mendelssohn, on 6 August 1840 in Leipzig. The concert was very well received by the critics, among them Robert Schumann, who admired the work's famous opening as an example of Bach's sense of humor. Also Franz Liszt adopted the piece into his organ repertoire: he used the glockenspiel stop for the Prestissimo triplets in the opening section, and the quintadena stop for the repeated notes in bars 12–15.

Aivars Kalējs (b. 1951) – Kāzu Maršs
Aivars Kalējs is one of the most important and prolific Latvian musicians of his generation. He studied composition and organ at the Latvijas Konservatorija (Latvian Conservatoire) in Riga between 1969 and 1977, under Ādolfs Skulte and Nikolajs Vanadziņš, respectively. Having performed in almost all the European countries, Japan, U.S. and Canada, he is internationally known as a recitalist, composer, and a musicologist with published articles about organ history. Kalējs wrote about 100 opus numbers of symphonic, organ, piano, chamber and choir music. The organ works occupy the central place among his compositions.
Kalējs worked on the monument board of the Latvian Ministry of Culture between 1980 and 1985. He focused on the history and preservation of the organs in Latvia, and was able to add 250 organs to the country’s index of protected cultural monuments. He has been organist at Rīgas Doms (Rīga Cathedral) for almost forty years. Built in 1211, this is the largest medieval cathedral in the Baltic States and is home to the notorious E. F. Walcker organ, which, at the time of its construction was the largest instrument in the world. With 144 ranks assigned to 124 stops, this prime example of German Romantic organ building at its highest is one of the only great Walcker organs still in its original condition. Kalējs also holds the position of organist at the Jaunā Svētās Ģertrūdes Evaņģēliski luteriskā baznīca in Rīga (New Church of St. Gertrude).

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 – 1750)
From the Leipzig Chorales:
BWV 655 – Trio super: Herr Jesu Christ, dich zu uns wend' [Lord Jesu Christ, turn to us], a 2 Clav. e Pedale (chorale trio)
Similar in texture to movements from the organ trio sonatas, this jubilant and lively concerto-like chorale prelude echoes the eternal joy and blissful light of the last verse. The chorale prelude's progression through the keys of G, D, E minor, B minor, D and finally G, is reminiscent of Vivaldi concertos. The two manual solo parts and pedal continuo are based on elements from the cantus firmus, which is heard in its entirety in the pedal part of the recapitulation.

Le musée des Cloches d'Hérépian dans l'Hérault : réouverture
Installé sur l’ancienne gare d’Hérépian, entre Béziers et Montpellier dans le département de l'Hérault, et inauguré en 1998, le
Musée de la Cloche et de la Sonnaille a rouvert ce printemps
après une fermeture de quelques années. Saviez-vous
qu’Hérépian a abrité de 1600 à 1994 une fonderie de cloches
appartenant à la famille Granier, seule usine en France à fabriquer
les trois sortes de cloches ? La vocation du musée est de
rendre compte de ce savoir-faire traditionnel. Car peu de gens
font désormais la différence entre les sonnailles (accrochées au
cou du bétail), les grelots et les cloches (d’églises) dans
le vocabulaire actuel, qui a retenu les vocables génériques
« cloche » et « clochette », par facilité. Un parcours instructif, aussi bien pour les enfants que les adultes.
