Art/Literary - Music | | English term or phrase: an essential choir of solo voices | Contexte : Notion polémique soutenue par Joshua Rifkin, chef d'orchestre et spécialiste de Bach pour décrire le noeud de sa "découverte" : à savoir que le choeur préféré de Bach était composé d'un chanteur par partie, avec un ajout de voix supplémentaires, en renfort et à l’occasion seulement. Il oppose ce choeur composé de "concertists" à celui, complémentaire, composé des "ripienists". Deux termes qui, évidemment, me pose aussi problème.
Merci d'avance,

| | | fondamentale | Explanation:
Rifkin has always been a problem with music in that he feels differently than most Baroque musical scholars. I believe he means here that Bach's compositions are based on a fundament of choral soloists. The word Fondament(fundament)has many meanings (including the Shakespearian scatalogical) but in this case I think it is appropriate. |

| un choeur principal composé de solistes
Explanation:
dans ce contexte, et par opposition à un choeur 'secondaire' ou choeur 'ripieno"
Ripieno
Ripieno is very similar to "tutti" which means everyone plays together. In the concerto grosso of the Baroque period, the ripieno occurred when the entire orchestra played including the soloists as part of the orchestra. At this particular juncture of musical performance there is no distinction between antiphonal or responsorial groups or ensemble and orchestra.

autrement dit (vulgairement/pour le vulgum pecus\') un choeur qui ne chante pas en choeur et un choeur qui chante en choeur :-D
