In 19th and 20th century French music (Frank, Debussy, Ravel,
Stravinsky) one often comes across the mark "en dehors" - 
obviously
meaning a certain way of singing or playing certain section of 
music.
It appears together both with pp and ff, so its different from a
simple dynamical mark..

I do know the literal french meaning: "outside" or "outward", 
and with
the help of google I found that it is also a technical term in 
ballet
dancing; but I found nothing in any music dictionary (at least 
those
that I have access to).

Simply play this part in this section comparatively louder than 
the other parts. I guess you are in a polyphonic writing. For 
example, pianists play every occurence of a Fugue theme "en 
dehors". (what organists and harpischordists do would be off-topic 
:-)

Also noted like this by some musicians on their scores:

If I understand you correctly, "en dehors" is more or less what is
often denoted as "solo" in orchestral scores (in the winds, in 
particular).

So I guess a sensible (and actually almost literal!) translation to 
English would be "standing out", right?
