Gabriel Fauré ’s four Valses-Caprices (1882/83–1894) demonstrate various forms of his treatment of the waltz in combination with the free form of the caprice. The composer drew his inspiration for his Valses-Caprices in the first place from works such as Liszt’s Valse-Impromptu and his Valse à capriccio and the famous Valse-Caprice by Anton Rubinstein. These important works are now made available in scholarly-critical Urtext editions based on the Œuvres complètes de Gabriel Fauré and reflect the latest state of research. Detailed forewords offer information on the genesis and significance ofthe compositions as well as valuable suggestions on historical interpretation. All the available manuscript and printed sources as well as piano rolls containing recordings by the composer have been taken into consideration leading to new discoveries particularly regarding the Valses-Caprices. Based on the Œuvres complètes de Gabriel Fauré Based on the latest research findings and extensive source studies Informative forewords with advice on performance practice (Fr/Eng/Ger) Christophe Grabowski is a French pianist and doctor of musicology and studied in Warsaw and Paris.

Elegy for Band-The initial idea was for a millennium piece which it is but rather than add to the many celebratory pieces that have understandably been written to salute the 3rd millennium Philip Sparke thought it would perhaps be appropriate to think about the aspects of life that are constantly with us (such as faith and philosophy) rather than the exciting changes that the year 2000 has undeniably wrought. This calm meditative work will bring a moment of serenity and reflection to any concert.

Morning Song features the horn quartet mostly in a soloistic role - indeed there is an accompanied cadenza towards the end of the piece - but there are moments where the horns assume their conventional concert band role as harmonic support or playing the counter melody. This expressive composition shows all the versatility of the horn quartet and gives them the chance to be in the spotlight.

The combination of Flute and Guitar is becoming increasingly popular among music school pupils and concert performers. This publication From Renaissance To Ragtime expands the fairly narrow repertoire for this combination of instruments to include arrangements of famous compositions such as variations on the famous English Renaissance song Greensleeves famous melodies by Johann Sebastian Bach ( Air Siciliana Badinerie ) the popular Minuet by Luigi Boccherini Chopin 's virtuoso Variations on a Theme of Rossini and Scott Joplin 's popular ragtime tune The Entertainer (familiar from the film The Sting). In order that these relatively demanding arrangements can be enjoyed by a broad spectrum of performers editor Pavel Kloub selected compositions which can easily be played not only on the Flute but also on the Oboe or Violin. Contents: Green Sleeves (variations on the english renaissance song) [Fleury Louis] Le Basque [Marais Marin] Air [Bach Johann Sebastian] Siciliano [Bach Johann Sebastian] Menuet [Bach Johann Sebastian] Badinerie [Bach Johann Sebastian] Menuet [Boccherini Luigi] Variations on a theme of Rossini [Chopin Frederic] The Entertainer [Joplin Scott]

Magnificat and Nunc dimittis- The present 'Evening Service' is one of the few works in which Pucell sets to music portions of the liturgy whereas most of the church music of the Master consists of anthems i.e. cantata-like compositions with biblical text. The alternative between chorus (full) and soloists (verse) so characteristic of this composition may if necessary be replaced by contrasting large and small chorus. Soprano solo (2) Alto solo Tenor solo Bass solo Mixed choir (SATB)

The south-western US state of Arizona has more than its fair share of stunning landscapes natural phenomena and National Monuments. Best known is the Grand Canyon but there are also numerous deserts a petrified forest extinct volcanoes and the huge Sunset Crater. Not surprisingly it has featured as the backdrop to many Western movies.The Painted Desert is a narrow crescent-shaped arc about 160 miles long which begins near the Grand Canyon and varies in width from 10 to 35 miles. It is largely void of vegetation and years of erosion by wind and rain have exposed sedimentary layers of rock up to 250 million years old. Chemical differences in the various layers result in aneffect not unlike a multicoloured layer cake with contrasting hues of red orange and pink blue grey and lavender creating a silent and barren landscape which looks like it has been hand-painted. As with much of the planet’s stunning landscapes all the observer can do is stand and stare.

Handel wrote the famous Dixit Dominus with the text of Psalm 109 during his time in Italy in c. 1707. Although he was only 22 years old the work already demonstrates his wide spectrum of compositional abilities which are later fully realized in his operas and oratorios. Central to this work are the six choral movements which – with their polyphonic structure – are closely related to German choral music of the 17th century. The first Urtext edition BA 4002 based on the Halle Handel Edition was published in 1960. At that time no critical commentary was published so that in cases of doubt the basis on which editorialdecisions were made was not officially recorded. A new complete edition volume (BA 10704/01) due to be published in 2013 will include a detailed foreword providing information on the genesis and the first performance of this work as well as information on the psalm on which this work is based and on performance practice. In addition several facsimiles pages will be included giving a view into the source material. The critical commentary will provide a detailed insight into all the available sources and how they have been passed down. This newly revised Urtext performing edition offers a thorough revision of this frequently-performed work and meets all the requisites of a scholarly-critical edition. Former readings in the old edition regarding a small number of pitches but mostly basso continuo figures and the underlying text have now been able to be amended on the basis of the new findings. In the new edition the work appears in nine movements – no longer eight – which reflects the composer's intentions. The new performance material is not compatible with the old one.

The Short-toed Lark and the Cetti's Warbler- Catalogue D'Oiseaux by Olivier Messiaen is a set of 7 books with 13 pieces for Piano composed between 1956 and 1958. Each volume refers to a special bird and to the region where the bird is typically from in France. The piece not only describes the bird it also depicts its surroundings such as other birds the landscape of its area the colours and the temperature. Book 1 - Le Chocard des Alpes (Alpine Chough) - Le Loriot (Golden Oriole) IH Le Merle Bleu (Blue Rock Thrush) Book 2 - Le Traquet Stapazin (Black-Eared Wheatear) Book 3 - La Chouette Hulotte(Tawny Owl) - L'Alouette Lulu (Wood Lark) Book 4 - La Rousserolle Effarvatte (Reed Warbler) Book 5 - L'Alouette Calandrelle (Short-Toed Lark) - La Bouscarle (Cetti's Warbler) Book 6 - Le Merle de Roche (Rock Thrush) Book 7 - La Buse Variable (Buzzard) - Le Traquet Rieur (Black Wheatear) - Le Courlis Cendré (Curlew) As mentioned above this 5th volume focuses on The Short-Toed Lark And The Cetti's Warbler . The first one the Short-Toed Lark represents the wilderness of Provence and the Cetti's Warbler the Charente area. The interpretation of these pieces requires a strong level in Piano (upper advanced) due to some complex technique requirement. Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992) was a French organist and composer who was passionate about Ornithology and one of the most important composers of his century. Inspired by Japanese music he had a very special way of composing and his work can be identified by its complexity its diatonic aspect its harmony with limited transposition its colour and its additive rhythms. He composed many works related to ornithology and birdsong including the 'Treatise on Rhythm Colour and Ornithology' in 7 volumes.
